Creating a New Player
Level: Beginner
After you’ve got your teams created, it’s time to add in the players. The good news is that it’s pretty straightforward to add a player to a team.
- To add a new player, go to “Players” and “Add New” in the left hand menu in the dashboard. You can also navigate to that page by hovering over “Add” in the top admin bar from any page on the website.
- Fill out the fields for the new player.
- If you don’t have or don’t want to show any particular information, you can leave the field blank.
- You can add a photo of the player on the right hand side. The player photo shows up on the player’s page, the player listing page and the player block.
- When you’re ready, hit save to create the player.
Congratulations! You have now added your first player to your website. Once you’ve added in all of your players, you can start to create games.
