Sports Team Theme allows you to add custom text fields to the Roster or Schedule sections.
- First go into the Theme Options or Sports Team Options at the bottom of the WordPress admin left menu.
- Scroll down to the bottom to view the Roster Options and Schedule Options areas.
- There may be some default custom fields already present like Height, Weight, Grade, and Cost. These can be deleted or changed if you would like.
- To create a new custom field, click the blue Add Field button.
- Field Name: Is the label of the field for both editors of the site and viewers of the site. It can have spaces and special characters.
- Field Slug: Is the programming label of the field. Once you have created it, don’t ever change it or all of your information you have saved into that field will be lost!
- Field Instructions: You can include any special instructions that editors should know as they fill this field in.
- Display Where: This is how you choose which pages of your website this information will show up on. You can choose one or both:
- List View: This means it will show up on the main tables of the Roster or Schedule pages where multiple people or events are listed.
- Single View: This means it will show up when viewing only only a single person or event.
- You’re done adding the field, but now you need to make sure that your Roster or Schedule Types are set up to display it. For example, Players may display a particular custom field, while Coaches does not. Go to Team Roster > Roster Types > and edit one or all of the items on the list. Check or uncheck the box by the title of your new custom field.
