MEC Advanced Speaker 1.4.0
Description
MEC Advanced Speaker is a WordPress plugin add-on that helps you create speaker-specific pages for events sites. Instead of showing speakers as a static list, it generates dedicated pages per speaker and lets you place speaker content exactly where you need it. The plugin uses flexible shortcodes to display speakers in list or grid views, and it can also include events connected to each speaker.
Whether you want all speakers on one page or want to highlight featured organizers and ongoing sessions, MEC Advanced Speaker provides shortcode options for controlling what appears on the page. This makes it easier to build structured, SEO-friendly speaker directories and improve how visitors discover event speakers and their related events.
