  We have an About Us page that shows a photo and stats for each team member. I would like to link each persons photo to a page with a longer bio but the head shot images do not seem to be linkable.

  Could you provide link to the url so we can have a look at?

  Absolutely. I am new to Word Press but have offered to help update the website for a local school.

  I did manage to create a “more about..” link for Mrs. Lokey. I was hoping to have the teacher’s thumbnail photos link instead. These photos are “Featured Images”. Perhaps that has something to do with my difficulty linking them.

  Thanks!!

  Thanks

  It looks like http://www.westbaychristianacademy.com/about-us/faculty-staff/ is not hosted at wordpress.com

  http://greenpennyhome.wordpress.com/ is hosted by wordpress.com

  This forum provide support for WordPress.COM (service) users only. If you’re using a self-hosted WordPress.ORG (software), visit this page to get support: https://wordpress.org/support/

  Please note that you need separate account in wordpress.org forums. You can create new account at https://wordpress.org/support/register.php

  To learn about the difference between wordpress.COM (wordpress as service) and wordpress.ORG (wordpress as software), please check : https://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Looking at the link you gave me, I’d suggest instead of creating ‘more about’, why not copy and merge the content from:
  http://www.westbaychristianacademy.com/3276-2/
  to:
  http://www.westbaychristianacademy.com/team-view/karen-lokey/

  I’m sorry I couldn’t be of help since this is beyond the scope of what this forum support provide.
