We'll create fresh WordPress site with British Member of Parliament Profile installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
This plugin provides a way to query Parliament’s database and return a profile of an MP in the House of Commons, using a shortcode. All you need is their constituency name or postcode, and the magic is done for you! Possible usage for this includes:
This plugin relies on the data offered by the third party service of UK Parliament Data to return the information and portrait in the profile based on a constituency. This data is licensed under the Open Parliament Licence – there are no additional Privacy Policies from UK Parliament Data relating to this plugin. In order to find your parliamentary constituency based on your postcode, the third party service of Postcodes.io is used.
In order to render a profile, use the following shortcode structure: [profilemp constituency=”Leeds Central”]
Or with a postcode: [profilemp postcode=”LS1 4DY”]
Ensure that you replace the constituency/postcode with the one of the MP with the profile that you wish to render!
If you’re using a parliamentary constituency, you’ll need to use the exact name of it, and this can be inserted directly into the shortcode, even if there are characters such as brackets. For example, [profilemp constituency=”Richmond (Yorks)”] would work.
Using a shortcode can be done through the Shortcode Gutenberg block, or in the Classic Editor. You can render as many on a single page as you want, even with different MPs!
