How do I use a GS Coach shortcode in a theme template file?

Place the generated shortcode inside WordPress’s do_shortcode() function in the relevant template file: Use a child theme or another update-safe customization method so a theme update does not overwrite the change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GS Coach – Professional Team Showcase for Coaches & Consultants

GS Coach helps you create structured coach profiles and display them in professional WordPress layouts. You can add profile information, organize coaches, and place coach showcases on pages or posts without building a custom directory from scratch.

After installing and activating GS Coach, go to GS Coach → Add New Coach. Add the coach’s name, description, profile image, and any available details, then publish the profile. You can check Add New Coach section » for a visual explanation.

Use consistent square images for the cleanest grid and profile presentation. A 400 × 400 pixel image is the existing recommendation, although a larger optimized square image can appear sharper on high-density screens. Keep the same aspect ratio for all coaches and compress images before uploading.

Go to GS Coach → Shortcode, create or edit a showcase, and configure its layout and query settings. Copy the generated shortcode, such as it is, and paste it into a page, post, shortcode block, or compatible page-builder module. Follow to create a New Shortcode » docs.

Place the generated shortcode inside WordPress’s do_shortcode() function in the relevant template file: <?php echo do_shortcode( '[gscoach id=1]' ); ?> Use a child theme or another update-safe customization method so a theme update does not overwrite the change.
