Meet Our Faculty and Staff Showcase WordPress Plugin!
This was the first plugin release from Honors WP and what started it all, the Faculty and Staff Showcase plugin. As a DBA of Easily Amused, we began with the idea of creating a WordPress plugin that showcases dynamic author blocks for LMS courses. The rapid rise of learning management systems and eLearning have pushed organizations and institutions to quickly adapt.
What is the Faculty and Staff Showcase Plugin and What Does it Do?
What the Plugin Is
The Faculty and Staff Showcase plugin allows learning management system site owners to display their course instructors using amazing, dynamic author blocks. Our plugin gives you the ability to show your course students who their instructors are. In today’s rapidly expanding online learning community, it’s important to keep students engaged With our plugin, you can post author blocks anywhere on your WordPress LMS site.
What Sets It Apart
We offer the only author-based WordPress plugin that lets you control various dynamic settings including user role(s), text and button options, and various styling controls. Our Faculty and Staff Showcase plugin seamlessly integrates with our other plugins and templates to offer a powerful combination that you won’t find with any other WordPress LMS plugins.
Display Stunning Author Blocks Anywhere on Your WordPress Site
The Faculty & Staff Showcase plugin allows users to display or “showcase” authors anywhere on your WordPress LMS site. Oftentimes, you may be limited to what you can display on your site, perhaps only the author’s name and a profile image. Our plugin allows options for editing text, styling options, and social media links to make course authors stand out. Customization options allow you to mold your author blocks how you like so course learners connect better with their instructors.

Similar to the Custom Showcase block, the Single Showcase block automatically updates a user’s profile information.
After you select this block, it will immediately display the post author’s avatar photo, name, and description.
