3. Show Off Your Dream Team
Your team deserves the spotlight, and Starbox PRO v2 is handing you the torch.
Whether you’re using Elementor, Oxygen, Divi, or WP Bakery, you can now easily build an amazing-looking ‘Our Team’ page that captures your team’s spirit.
How? All you have to do is use shortcodes for author boxes. This guide explains it in more detail– take a look!

Networking just got easier. Starbox PRO v2 now allows you to seamlessly include a link to your LinkedIn profile in your author bio, helping you expand your professional network.
