Additional Fields

re: With anything free I don’t expect the kitchen sink, but at least basics.

Hmmm… WordPress is free and without plugins can not add additional fields to posts/pages.

Any way, one can add custom fields but at this time there is not a point and click interface for creating them. Just like WordPress there is an API for developers to take advantage of to add custom fields. So, for now, adding custom fields requires a PHP dev with basic skills. If that is you, here’s a blog post that walks thru adding a simple text field:

I’ll be writing more of those covering all of the various fields types supported by the Custom Fields API.

re: Also, is there a ‘trick’ to getting bio info to appear on page?

This is one of the features of templates… they can display display or not display info entered in the entry. The Default Template, does not show the bio. You can switch to the Bio Card template as it does show bio.

fyi, this template is being removed in the next release. If you want to continue using it, you’ll need to install the Legacy Template pack.

The reason it is being removed because the new Template Customizer feature and the new Default Template which has been updated to use it makes that template and a couple other unecessarily redundant.

Hope that answers your question clearly and thoroughly.
