???? Step 1: Create the “Team Member” Role

1. Go to Membership → Roles.

2. Create a new role called “Team Member” (or any name you prefer).

3. In General → Role Switch, uncheck:

   • “Allow registered users to switch to this role”

4. In Plans → Settings:

   • Check: “Enable membership plans for this role”

   • Uncheck: “Show plans during registration”

✉️ Step 2: Set Up Team Member Invitations

Inside your Profiles post type:

1. Create a Repeater Field with the Field Key:
   team-members

2. Add the following fields inside the repeater:

   • Email → Field Key: email

   • Invitation Sent → Field Key: sent_at

   • Invitation Accepted → Field Key: accepted_at

   • User ID → Field Key: user_id

   • Profile ID → Field Key: profile_id

Important: You can change the field labels, but do not change the field keys.

????️ Visibility Settings for Repeater Fields:

• User ID and Profile ID → Visible only to Administrator.

• Show “Invitation Sent” if the field is not empty.

• Show “Invitation Accepted” if the field is not empty.

Optional Enhancements:

• Set Email as the Row Label.

• Set Default Row Label to “Team Member”.

• Set “Add Row Label” to “Add Team Member”.

???? How Invitations Work:

• When a profile is saved with an email, an invitation link is sent immediately.

• If the “Invitation Sent” field is cleared and the profile is saved again, a new invitation is sent.

• After the invited user registers:

  • Invitation Accepted, User ID, and Profile ID are populated automatically.

????️ Step 3: Show Team Members on Posts

When a Team Member creates or edits a post:

• The parent (team leader) remains the official author.

• The team member is stored as a contributor.

Set it up:

   • Field Name: Contributors

   • Field Key: team-member-contributors

2. Inside the repeater, add:

   • User ID → Field Key: user_id

   • Profile ID → Field Key: profile_id
