Are you an Elementor or Avada / Fusion builder dude?
There are now modules/elements in Elementor and Avada to simply drag and drop dudes to your page. It works more or less like the shortcode genereator but with the tools of those builders.
Are you looking for the customizations?
The plugin is very customizable there are a bunch of free examples on GitHub and it’s built much like WordPress with a lot of filters, hooks and templates.
"How to" on YouTube
I made some videos about how to use the plugin, since I find it easier to learn that way. 🙂
There is a conveniant playlist here Snillrik Dudes
About adding and editing Dudes
About using the shortcode generator
About using hooks and filters
About some real world, actually using it
About how to CSS the Dudes.

How do you use it?
The basic idea of Dudes for WordPress is to add dudes the same way you add posts or pages. So when Gabrielle changes email you just change it there even if she’s on every page on the site.
Then you generate shortcodes for displaying the dudes, it’s a bunch of drop down menues in the settings page, and it will give you a shortcode that you just copy and past on your contact page, or team page. It uses categories and you can select one or more dudes by id etc.
There is a bunch of common plain looks that you can choose from that uses the style of the page as much as possible, but also all the elements are accessible via CSS. So, it’s easy to get the style you want just by adding CSS to your theme or the customizer.
There’s a YouTube playlist with some instructional videos here.Â
If you’re out shopping for a team plugin for WordPress you have probably noticed there are a lot. And there are some very cool ones, so why Dudes for WordPress?
- It’s simple and very easy to use.
- Most of the time you just want a clean look that fits your theme.
- You already have a design that you have to implement and “very cool” can’t replace that design.
- highly customizable via CSS, WordPress filters, a template for the dude-single page etc.
- It’s made with css flex-boxes and shortcodes, so it works with more or less all themes and frameworks.Â
- Dudes are it’s own post-type too, so a lot of common post-displaying things in themes or frameworks can be used instead of the shortcode.
So why use Dudes?

Filters
Filters, is a big deal in WP, it’s “when something happens, could you do this too?”.
So there are filters for:
- Rewriting the url, so instead of /dude/ it says /staff/ or what ever you like)
- Contact info field, to add facebook or fax number etc.
- The look of contact info for both the dude-page and the list pages.
- Adding a custom look, and adding it to the shortcode generator.
- The read more button.
Â
Template
There is a template for the dude-single page. If you want a custom page for each dude you can just copy the template and put it in your theme’s folder.
There are a more extensive explanations for filters and template on the settings page in the plugin it self and readme files etc.

A block with a dude in the column to the right
Yes, it’s a block with the dude in the last third of the section. And you might think this text is not very interesting, and you would be right. It’s not.
It might also be in the bottom of the section if you view it on your mobile.
