Create Overlay First

If the staff or board member will have an overlay with additional info, create the overlay first.

  • In WP Admin sidebar click the Divi Overlays menu item.
  • In the listing of all overlays, hover over “_Bio Overlay Starter” and choose “Clone”
  • Open the new draft
  • Change the Title to the person’s name (First & Last)
  • Change the image
  • Update the Contact info
  • Update the Social Media Follow with the person’s social network URLs, delete networks they don’t use
  • Update the name and bio text
  • Publish
  • Go back to the Divi Overlays listing – note the CSS ID of the new overlay, you’ll use this to link the bio page image and name to the overlay.
Add the New Person on the Staff & Board page
  • Open the Staff & Board page in a new tab
  • If you need a new section of bios, click “Add From Library” > Staff & Board Bio Section (filter category to Staff & Bio if necessary)
  • If you need just one person, click “Insert Module” > “Add from Library” and add each of these: Bio Image, Bio Name & Title, Bio Social
  • Bio image: open module and upload a new image. In the Advanced tab, change the CSS ID to the one corresponding to the person’s overlay. Save and exit.
  • Name & Title: open the module, use the Text tab and change the name and title. Change the ID number in the anchor link to the one corresponding to the person’s overly. You won’t be able to see the ID anchor on the link if you’re in the Visual editing tab.
  • Bio Social: update the URL for networks you need, delete what you don’t need.
