Player Details

The [player_details] shortcode displays a player's profile details table — nationality, position, current and past teams, league, season, and any configured metrics (height, weight, age, etc.).

What It Displays

A horizontal data table with columns for whichever details are enabled in Settings > Players > Details: jersey number, full name, nationality (with optional flag), positions, current teams, past teams, leagues, seasons, and before/after metrics. The shortcode outputs nothing if the Players > Show details setting is disabled.

When to Use It

Use on a single player page inside the Loop. Outside the Loop, supply id. Display of individual rows is controlled by the global SportsPress player settings, not by shortcode parameters.

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Default

Description

id

integer

get_the_ID()

Post ID of the player. Required outside the Loop.

Note: Which rows appear (number, name, nationality, positions, teams, leagues, seasons, metrics, flags) is controlled entirely by Settings > Players > Details. No additional shortcode parameters are supported beyond id.

Usage Examples

Inside the Loop on a single player page:

[player_details]

Embedding a specific player's details on any page:

[player_details id="88"]
