Undercard renders author and profile cards as real Gutenberg blocks. Not a box injected into\nyour content: blocks you place where you want them, including in template parts and Query Loops,\nwhere each card draws the author of the row it sits in.<\/p>\n\n
Every card is a projection of one author record. Change a job title once and every card showing\nthat person changes with it.<\/p>\n\n
Design quality is not the upgrade. All four families and every layout ship in this plugin.<\/p>\n\n
Each has light, dark and system schemes where the design allows one, and every card is\ncontainer-query driven, so it adapts to the space it is given rather than to the viewport.<\/p>\n\n
These are free. Several plugins charge for them; a free tier that could not credit two people\non one post would not be worth installing.<\/p>\n\n
Job title, employer, education, areas of expertise, contact details and social links, editable\non the user profile screen and on each guest. Cards display what an author filled in and omit\nwhat they did not \u2014 an empty row looks broken, a missing one looks designed.<\/p>\n\n
Cards can offer a Everything above is free and stays free. Pro adds the machine-readable half:<\/p>\n\n This plugin shows you exactly what you would publish before you buy anything. Look for\nStructured data preview<\/strong> on any user profile screen: it renders the This plugin contacts one external service, and not when you install or activate it.<\/p>\n\n Gravatar (Automattic).<\/strong> When a card needs an avatar and the author has not uploaded a photo,\nthe plugin asks Gravatar whether one exists for that account before falling back to initials.\nWordPress itself cannot answer this \u2014 it returns an avatar URL for any address, and Gravatar\nserves a generated placeholder behind it, so every author would appear to have a photo.<\/p>\n\n Turning off Settings \u2192 Discussion \u2192 Show Avatars<\/strong> stops both entirely, and an author who\nuploads a photo is never looked up at all.<\/p>\n\n Gravatar terms: https:\/\/automattic.com\/terms\/ \u2014 privacy: https:\/\/automattic.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n Links to GhostLabs \u2014 not a service.<\/strong> The plugin links to two GhostLabs sites from wp-admin and\nthe block editor. It never contacts either one: nothing is requested from them in the background,\nand the plugin sends them nothing.<\/p>\n\n Following either link is an ordinary visit to that site in your browser.<\/p>\n\n GhostLabs terms: https:\/\/theghostlab.io\/terms-of-service \u2014 privacy: https:\/\/theghostlab.io\/privacy-policy<\/p>\n\n Nothing else is requested from anywhere. Fonts are bundled with the plugin and served from your\nown site; nothing is loaded from a CDN.<\/p>\n\n The complete, unminified source of this plugin \u2014 including the block sources the compiled assets\nare built from \u2014 is published at:<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/github.com\/theghostlab\/wp-ghostlabs-undercard<\/p>\n\n The repository's committed No, and deliberately. Undercard has no content filter. You place a block where you want a card,\nwhich means it cannot appear somewhere you did not ask for it and cannot fight your theme for\nposition. Put one in a template part and it appears on every post that template serves.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Every card block reads the post it is rendering inside, so one block in a loop draws a\ndifferent person per row.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Guest authors are free. They get their own profile URL, under Not in this plugin. The Structured data preview<\/strong> panel on each profile screen shows you the\n Person node your site would publish, so you can see exactly what you would be getting. Emitting\nit is what Undercard Pro adds.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Colors come from CSS custom properties on each card \u2014 Every card carries its design in No card rule uses an ID. The only Undercard Pro is a separate plugin. Once you have bought it:<\/p>\n\n When Undercard Pro starts, it deactivates this plugin. Every setting, byline, guest and profile\nfield stays exactly as it is, because both plugins read the same data. This plugin is left\ninstalled but inactive, and you can delete it whenever you like.<\/p>\n\n On a multisite network, a network administrator uploads the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The cards are FSE and template-part compatible, which is the point of them being blocks.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n.vcf<\/code> contact file. It is gated on what the author deliberately published,\nnot on a setting somebody else controls: an author with no contact details published serves no\nfile at all, and any author can opt out entirely.<\/p>\n\nUndercard Pro<\/h3>\n\n
