About this plugin
GS Coach helps visitors choose the right coach. Add each coach once with their photo, bio, profession, experience, education and social links, then show your coaches anywhere as a grid, circle cards or slider. Every coach can have a profile page or open in a popup.
Pick a design in the shortcode builder, see it in the live preview, and paste one shortcode or block.

How it works
- Go to GS Coach > Add New Coach. Add the coach’s name, bio and photo, then fill in their profession, experience and education, and choose a group.
- Go to GS Coach > Shortcode, create a shortcode and pick a design. The live preview updates as you change settings.
- Copy the shortcode, for example [gscoach id=1], into any page or post, or use the GS Coach block or widget in your page builder.
Each shortcode has three tabs:
- General: design, carousel, link type, image size and which details to show.
- Style: columns per device and typography for names, professions and details.
- Query: how many coaches to show, sorting, and which groups to include or exclude.
