## Description
WP Family Tree is a family tree generator plugin for WordPress. Each family member
have their own post within
a “Family” category. In the family member posts you
can specify birth dates, mother, father, etc. A complete family tree can be displayed
on any page with the [family-tree] shortcode.
The root of the tree can be specified with the root parameter: [family-tree root
=’John Doe’]
Specify a ‘featured image’ for the post and the image thumbnail will be used in
the family memebers list and in
the family tree. Please see the screenshots.

### [Way out of date, skip it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/way-out-of-date-skip-it/)
[kirabug](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kirabug/) Januari 14, 2024
Worked well when I installed it years ago, but it has stopped working now. Looks
like the author has abandoned it as the plugin site no longer exists and the plugin
itself hasn't been updated in ages. Don't install.
### [Waste of time!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/waste-of-time-131/)
[mecenas90](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mecenas90/) Jun 25, 2017

donesn´t exist anymore, no support, just don´t waste your time installing it.

Works great. I had difficulty to understand where and how to add famil-tree root
but figured without support. I wish pro version was not $150. I will just wait for
someone else to come up with a plugin in next few years …
