Manage talks and projects on your personal website with per-event URLs, an organiser view, and editor blocks.

Description

Personal Profile Builder adds two custom post types — Talks and Projects — to your WordPress site.

Talks support hierarchical topics, a booking status, and structured occurrences (same talk, different events). Each occurrence gets a shareable URL that surfaces that event's slides, recording, and event name without changing your theme.

Projects support hierarchical types, external URLs, icons, and badges.

Highlights

• Per-event URLs of the form /talk/my-talk/20260502 with transparent meta override — your theme reads the same meta keys it always has.
• Organiser view: append ?view=organiser to any talk URL for a bio box with your speaker photo and bio, ready to share with event organisers.
• Speaker profile settings page for your bio and avatar.
• Four editor blocks: Talk Query, Project Query, Talk Embed, and Project Embed.
• Server-rendered blocks with theme.json support for colours, spacing, and typography.

Installation

1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate through the Plugins screen.
3. Go to Settings → Speaker Profile to set your bio and avatar.
4. Start adding talks and projects from the admin menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with my theme?

Yes. The plugin registers stable meta keys and post types that any theme can read. Existing templates continue to work. Blocks and template tags are available for deeper integration.

What happens if I uninstall?

Plugin options are removed. Your talks, projects, and taxonomy terms stay in the database.

Changelog

1.7.0

• QR codes for talk occurrences: a "QR Code" button next to each shareable URL generates an SVG QR code inline, with a download link.
• Per-occurrence language field — each occurrence row may now carry a WordPress locale code (e.g. de_DE). Surfaced in the row UI as a dropdown, on the front-end as a pill, and in the talks list table as a new "Languages" column.
• Hardens occurrence data handling against malformed input (prevents a possible fatal error and a PHP warning, and rejects invalid dates on save).

1.6.2

• Talk Embed and Project Embed blocks no longer use display: grid. A single card now renders at full width.

1.6.1

• Talk Embed block: adds an optional occurrence selector. When an occurrence is selected, the card links to the occurrence URL and shows slides, recording, and event URL inline.
• Block styles now load in the editor so previews match the front end.
• Consolidates readme files and trims pre-1.0 changelog entries for the first public release.

1.6.0

• New blocks: Talk Embed and Project Embed — pick a single talk or project and display it as a card on any page or post.

1.5.0

• Removes default event name and event URL from the sidebar — these are now per-occurrence only.
• Adds a slides upload button in occurrence rows (WP Media Library).
