Speakers — an add-on for the Tickera plugin

Your speakers,
the headline of your event.

Speakers are why people buy the ticket. This add-on adds a Speaker custom post type with photo, title, bio, website and social links — then connects each speaker to your Tickera events. Show them on the event page, in a grid, a list, a slider, or filtered by track.

Photo, name, title, bio, website, social profiles — per speaker
Four display styles — slider, grid, list, filtered by track
Link speakers to specific Tickera events — show up on the event page
Inherits theme colors — matches your site without a single line of CSS

Or get Bundle — $199/yr

Custom post type + display block · Included in Bundle & Lifetime

What you get

Six things you need
to manage real speaker lineups.

Full speaker profile

Photo, name, title, biography, website, social profiles. Every field you’d expect on a real conference site — nothing more, nothing missing.

Linked to events

Each speaker connects to one or more Tickera events. The event page shows its lineup automatically. No copy-pasting the same bio across 5 pages.

Grid, list, slider

Same data, different layouts. Grid for a packed lineup, list for a long agenda, slider for the homepage. Pick per page.

Filter by track

Multi-track conference? Tag speakers with a track and the display block lets visitors filter — show only the AI track, or only the design track.

Social proof, built in

Facebook, LinkedIn, X — pre-built icon links. Audiences explore a speaker’s work, follow them online, connect after the event.

Inherits your theme

Speaker cards pick up your theme’s colors, fonts, and accent. The lineup looks like it was built for your site — not bolted on.

01 · The Speakers admin

One screen per speaker. Update once, show everywhere.

Every speaker is a custom post in WordPress. Edit photo, name, title, biography, website, socials in one familiar editor. The link to events is a dropdown on the same screen — pick which events this speaker appears at, save, done.

WordPress-native admin — no custom UI to learn
Update a bio once — it updates across every event page
Reorder, draft, schedule — standard WP post controls apply

Speakers add-on admin screen — a speaker lineup grid displayed on a Tickera event page with photos, names and titles

How it works

From empty CPT
to a full lineup page.

01

Add

Create speaker profiles.

Open Speakers → Add New. Drop a photo, paste the bio, set title, link the website, add Facebook/LinkedIn/X URLs. Save. Repeat for every speaker.

02

Link

Attach speakers to events.

On each speaker (or each event), pick which Tickera events the speaker appears at. The relationship is bidirectional — works from either side.

03

Display

Drop the block on the page.

Add the Speakers display block to your event page, homepage, agenda — wherever. Choose layout (grid/list/slider), optional track filter, hit publish.

Common questions

Questions about
running a speaker lineup.

Can the same speaker appear at multiple events?

Yes. One speaker profile can link to as many events as you want. Update the bio once, it updates on every event page where the speaker appears. No duplicate records to keep in sync.

Which social networks can I link?

Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and any custom website. Pre-styled icon buttons. If you need additional networks (Mastodon, GitHub, personal blog), use the website field for whichever one matters most.

Can I filter speakers by track or topic?

Yes. Speakers have a track taxonomy — tag each speaker with the track they belong to (AI, design, devops…). The display block exposes track filtering to visitors, or you can hard-set a track per embed.

Does it auto-show on the event page?

When you link a speaker to an event, the speaker block can be dropped onto the event template once, then every event automatically renders its own speaker lineup. Or place it manually per event page — your call.

Will it match my theme’s look?

The cards inherit your theme’s typography and color palette. For deeper styling, the markup uses clean class names you can target in CSS — same approach as every Tickera block.

What versions of Tickera does this work with?

Recent versions of Tickera — if your install is behind, update first. Updates are free for the life of your license.
