About this plugin
Maya Team Directory lets you create and display a clean, fast team directory on your WordPress site. Add team members with profile photos, positions, departments, contact details, and bios, then display them with a simple [maya_team] shortcode.
The free plugin is intentionally lean and focused. It ships with everything you need to publish a working team page: the custom post type, group taxonomy, a responsive grid layout, search, group filtering, pagination, and a single-member template.
This plugin makes no remote calls, has no license key, no in-plugin upsell prompts, and never asks for your credit card to unlock built-in features.

Filters:
- maya_td_query_args — Modify the main member query (receives $query_args, $atts ).
- maya_td_card_data — Modify card template data before rendering (receives $data, $post_id ).
- maya_td_card_renderer — Return a callable to take over rendering for a non-grid layout (receives null, $layout, $data, $post_id ).
- maya_td_card_social_keys — Add extra social networks to read for each card (receives network-slug => meta-key map).
- maya_td_meta_fields — Add extra fields to the Member Details meta box.
- maya_td_social_fields — Add extra fields to the Social Links meta box.
- maya_td_social_icons — Provide SVG icon markup for additional social networks.
- maya_td_member_meta_keys — Extend the list of meta keys cleaned up on uninstall.
- maya_td_available_layouts — Register additional layouts (list, compact, masonry, etc.) so they appear in the layout toggle and validate as shortcode layout="" values.
