How it behaves
It still works when things are switched off
Each leader has a native disclosure that opens a biography; opening one closes the others, so a single profile reads at a time.
- Motion off or reduced motion
- It shows its final state at once; anything a visitor can press or drag still works.
- JavaScript off
- All content stays visible and readable; controls the script adds are hidden.
- Plugin missing or older
- It pastes as plain WordPress blocks, in reading order, without the designed layout.
Questions
Leadership Notes: common questions
What is Leadership Notes for?
For presenting a small leadership group, when names and roles should lead and fuller biographies stay one click away. Typical uses: leadership team page, firm partners section and board or directors page.
Does Leadership Notes need a plugin?
Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; Leadership Notes arrived in plugin 0.23.0. Without the plugin, or on an older version, it pastes as plain WordPress blocks: the content reads in order, without the designed layout.
What can I edit in Leadership Notes?
As pasted it has 3 images, 4 headings, 15 text lines and 3 expandable answers, 12 of them optional and removable. The people are a repeatable set: the item controls add one or remove the last. The layout stays protected while you edit. Unlock layout, in the section’s settings, lets you insert, move and remove any block.
Will Leadership Notes match my theme?
Choose Designed to keep its own palette and type, or Use my theme to let it follow your theme’s colours and fonts. Either works in any block theme on WordPress 7.0 or later. Choose Use my theme in the preview above to see it follow a theme before you copy.
Can the motion be switched off?
Yes. Turn off Animate changes in the section settings, and visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same: the section shows its final state at once and anything they can press or drag still works. With JavaScript off, all content stays visible.
