Horizontal Slider — Display team member cards in a smooth horizontal sliding carousel with Prev/Next arrow buttons.
⚡ Shortcode Usage
Use the shortcode anywhere — pages, posts, widgets, or FSE blocks:
Basic usage with a saved view:
[mistd_team_directory view="your_view_id"]
Available shortcode attributes:
view — The saved View ID to load display settings from. Create views under **Team Directory → Directory Views**.
mode — Display mode. Accepted values: `inline` (inline expand), `popup` (modal popup), `popup_nav` (modal with next/previous), `slider` (horizontal slider). Defaults to the view setting or `inline`.
columns — Number of columns in the grid. Accepted values: `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`. Defaults to the view setting or `3`.
per_page — Number of team members shown per page. Set to `0` to show all with no pagination. Defaults to the view setting or `3`.
department — Department slug to filter team members. Only members in that department are shown.
offset — Number of team members to skip from the start of the list. Useful for splitting a group across multiple shortcodes.
Examples:
[mistd_team_directory view="board_view"]
Load a saved view with all its settings:
[mistd_team_directory mode="popup_nav" columns="3" per_page="6"]
Show a 3-column grid, 6 per page, opening in modal with navigation:
[mistd_team_directory department="directors" mode="popup"]
Show only the Directors department in modal popup mode:
[mistd_team_directory view="board_view" per_page="6" offset="3"]
Load a saved view but skip the first 3 members and show 6 per page:
[mistd_team_directory mode="slider" columns="3"]
Display a horizontal slider with 3 cards visible at a time:
