Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to help you with any questions you have
GS Coach is designed to work with standard WordPress themes and popular builders such as Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, UX Builder for Flatsome, and TagDiv. The generated shortcode can also be placed in compatible content areas.
Check Page Builder Support docs.
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 the Add New Coach section for a visual explanation.
Place the generated shortcode inside WordPress’s do_shortcode() function in the relevant template file:
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gscoach id=1]' ); ?>
Note: Use a child theme or another update-safe customization method so a theme update does not overwrite the change.
Open Query Settings for the shortcode. Select Coach Name, ID, Date, or another available option under Order By, then choose ASC or DESC under Order. Save the shortcode to apply the new order.
Check Query Settings docs.
Go to GS Coach → Sort Order and drag the coaches into the preferred sequence. Then edit the shortcode, open Query Settings, set Order By to Custom Order, and set Order to ASC. Save the shortcode and verify the frontend display.
