1. Image Preparation
Using the image editor of your choice (Photoshop, Canva, Gimp, etc.) open the image and crop it as a square. Resize the image to be 400×400 px wide at 144ppi. If you have the option for save quality, choose Medium or 50%.
Example below is using Photoshop.
Using the crop tool, select the best area of the image to crop as a square.
Set the image size to be 400 x 400 pixels, at 144 Pixels/Inch.
Rename the file using the speaker/team member’s name so they are searchable in the Media Library. Save the image as a JPEG.
Save the file at 50% or Medium quality.
2. Add image to Media Library
Open the Media Library in the WordPress dashboard. Navigate to the folder called TEAM/SPEAKER Headshots. Choose the appropriate sub folder.
Drag and drop the image into the library.
3. Add a New Team Member or Speaker
In the WordPress dashboard, select Ad New Team Member from the Menu.
Add the team member or speakers name as you would like it to show up in page titles or grid cards.
Add the team member or speaker’s bio to the content section.
Fill in the Team and Speaker Fields.
Choose the appropriate category for the new member. For NCF team members that are also speakers, you can select both categories.
Click on Add Feature image and navigate to the image you uploaded to the Media Library.
Add the appropriate event tag to the speaker. They can have multiple tags for multiple event dates. These tags are how they get pulled into the speaker grids on the event pages.
If the event date tag already exists it will show up as a drop down option when you start typing.
If you need to create a new event date tag, please use the following naming standards:
YYYY MM DD
If the event requires that the speakers be separated into different categories use the date with either a K, P, S at the end:
YYYY MM DD K (for keynote)
YYYY MM DD P (for panelist)
YYYY MM DD S (for speaker)
Select Publish to finish creating the Team Member/Speaker.
