Friendly reminder: PHP 5.4 has been officially [unsupported since September 2015](http://php.net/eol.php). There was an issue with this plugin where older versions of PHP were crashing. There's no real incentive on behalf of the author to make sure older/unsupported/unsafe versions of PHP work perfectly. I'll do what I can but I can't always promise older versions will work. Sorry if that's an inconvenience. PRs are always welcomed on the [Github repo](https://github.com/adamtootle/staff-directory)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What happened to my categories after I updated to version 0.9? =

Staff categories are now managed using the internal WordPress category management system. This means that old staff category IDs could not be maintained during the import. The plugin has added support for showing the new category IDs in the Staff Categories table so you can easily get the new IDs in order to update existing shortcodes.

== Screenshots ==

1. Create/view staff just like any other WordPress post/page
2. Edit staff just like any other WordPress post/page
3. Create custom staff categories
4. Set custom staff details and create custom templates
