Staff List Pro - Wordpress Plugin 4.0.5

Staff List Pro (by abcFolio) is a premium WordPress plugin designed to create and manage professional directories for employees, faculty, or team members. It is widely used by schools, medical practices, and businesses to display "Meet the Team" pages without needing to write code.

🛠️ Key Features of Staff List Pro

Unlike the free version (Staff List), the Pro edition adds advanced layout and filtering capabilities:

Multiple Layouts: Choose between List, Grid A, Grid B, and Grid C layouts to match your site's design.

Search & Multi-Filters: Users can filter the directory by categories (departments), A-Z menus, or custom text searches.

Single Profile Pages: Each staff member gets their own SEO-friendly URL and a detailed profile page for bios and contact info.

Advanced Customization: * Add up to 50 custom fields (e.g., Office Hours, Room Number, LinkedIn profile).

Over 30 field types (text, email, images, social icons).

CSV Import/Export: Essential for large organizations; you can manage your list in Excel or Google Sheets and sync it via CSV.

Shortcode Powered: Easily place a directory on any page or post using [stafflist].

💰 Pricing & Availability

According to recent developer updates (2025/2026), the developer abcFolio has moved toward a maintenance-only model for this specific plugin.

Cost: Usually around $49 for a one-time payment.

Support: They still provide premium one-on-one email support and bug fixes for current WordPress versions, but they are not currently adding major "new" features.

🚀 How to Set It Up (Quick Start)

Install & Activate: Upload the Pro .zip file and activate it in your WordPress dashboard.

Configure Fields: Go to Staff List > Staff List Pro to define what information you want to collect (Name, Position, Email, etc.).

Add Members: Manually enter staff details under Add New or use the CSV Import extension to bulk upload.

Display: Create a new page and paste the shortcode:

Basic: [stafflist]

Specific Department: [stafflist subset="department:marketing"]

With Search: Use the Staff List Search add-on shortcode.

💡 Should you use it?

Use it if: You need a high-performance, lightweight directory that works well with Excel and doesn't slow down your site.

Look elsewhere if: You want a modern "Drag & Drop" visual builder interface. For that, you might prefer Team Members Pro or WP Team Pro.
