Adding a bio
Review our guide and videos below for how to add administrator bios, coaches bios, and player bios for rosters not managed through the GameDay tab.
Adding an Administrator’s Bio
Sign in to your website
Click on the Website tab
The administrator bios are normally located in the information section, but that section may have been renamed to something else on your website by yourself or a previous website admin. You can find out the section where those bios are located by going to the staff directory page on the front end of the website and look for the first word after the domain name which will indicate which section the page is located in. The normal set up for the staff directory pages will show /information/directory/index in the URL path for that page. If it has a different name then you will need to go to that section to create the bios.
If the page is using the normal setup you will go to the information section and then directory. If it’s under a different name go to that section, for example if the URL path of the staff directory page is /staff/index then go to the staff section.
Click [add here] to the right under Options
From the content type drop down menu, select bio: manual
Enter the staff member’s first and last name in both the Name and Title fields
From the Featured in headlines drop down menu, select /information/directory/admin and click “Add”. If those bios are stored in a different named section then you will need to select that file instead of that admin file.
Click continue
Enter content into the appropriate fields
Click the button next to the headshot field to add the staff member's headshot. It’s easiest to find that if you upload the headshot in the directory section or the section where the staff directory is stored
In the text editor, add in the write up for the staff member’s bio
Click Save Changes
If you need to adjust the order of bios in the admin page you can do that by clicking edit content on the admin file in that section, select all of the files, click Stick, and then click and drag the files in the order you want them to display.

Sign in to your website
Click on the GameDay tab
Navigate to the sport and season you want to add the bio to
Click on the Coaches tab
To set the fields that will display for the coaches click Edit settings and enable the desired fields. For more information on custom fields you can view this Help Center page

You can put a text write-up for the coach in the Bio section on the page

These bios now will display on a specific season page for coaches. This is different than the previous setup where each sport would have a single coaches page that would just be updated when new coaches were add/removed. That page can be found within the season section, within the sport section, with a filename of “coaches”. For example the women’s basketball coaches for the 2024-25 season would have this URL path- /sports/wbkb/2024-25/coaches
If you need to adjust the order of coaches on the coaches page you can do that by clicking edit content on the coaches file, select all of the files, click Stick, and then click and drag the files in the order you want them to display. When you set them to stick you will see the pin icon on the right side of the page next to the edit button change to a lock icon as shown below:
