What you change first
Replace the portraits, names, roles and biographies. Duplicate a complete profile group to add a person, keeping text lengths reasonably similar. Image blocks retain their chosen aspect ratio when you replace the source.
The signature moment
Portraits and biographies trade sides down the page
The photograph occupies forty per cent of each spread, leaving a wider reading area for the biography. The middle spread reverses those positions. This creates a left-right-left rhythm without sticky frames, animation or any dependency on the companion plugin. The profile number identifies where each new conversation begins.
Theme handoff
What comes from where
From your theme
The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. Text resolves to contrast on the page ground; no accent is used behind copy. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours.

Overview
Three broad profile spreads alternate the portrait side, giving each person room for a biography and a personal approach.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. Text resolves to contrast on the page ground; no accent is used behind copy. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours.
Display type
Section headings use the x-large rung, names use large, and body copy uses medium, all with clamp fallbacks. Labels use a 0.875rem to 1rem clamp and 1.4 line height.
Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints
What the buyer gets
Three broad profile spreads alternate the portrait side, giving each person room for a biography and a personal approach. The section works without the companion plugin. Replace the example people, roles and copy directly in the block editor.
Responsive composition
Core columns stack below WordPress’s mobile breakpoint. Grid layouts use minimum widths and reduce their column count as space narrows. Each person’s photograph and name stay grouped. Alternating spreads preserve their authored reading order on mobile, including the text-first middle profile. Review the full section at 1920, 1280, 820 and 390 pixels in serif and sans themes.
Included images
The portraits are generated examples and depict nobody real. Their public image URLs travel with the copied markup. Choose Replace to use your own people. Pasting a URL does not import a Media Library attachment. See image credits.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
