Changes to Person Page Display

We started working on this change this summer due to how we were seeing some pages that had a lot of content, particularly lots of media content added to them via blocks.  When recreating them on the new platform, we came across many design issues due to how the original template was designed, and so redesigned the person page template to better address these issues.

Blocks on Person Pages

Since the new Layout Builder is not available on person pages, there's not an efficient way of adding block content to these types of pages.

If the person page contained media, such as videos or other photos, we suggest that content be added to the body field via the WYSIWYG editor - something that wasn't available in person pages before.

If the person page requires other block content, such as article lists, we suggest adding a basic page as a child page of the person where you can add those blocks via Layout Builder.
