Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Business Directory FREE

Once you've set up the details on the settings page you should see your business directory at www.YOURWEBSITENAME.com/business-directory/. Users can add a new business at www.YOURWEBSITENAME.com/business-directory/new-business/. The URL's can be changed if required, and all other business directory pages will reside within a sub-directory of the main Business Directory page. Eg. If your business directory starts at www.YOURWEBSITENAME.com/SOMEPAGE/ , the Add Business page would be located at www.YOURWEBSITENAME.com/SOMEPAGE/new-business/
All admin sections for the plug-in can be found under the "WPBD Free" link in your Wordpress admin area.
The plug-in was built with customisation in mind. You will require HTML and CSS skills to change the way it looks. Locate the "template" folder within the plug-in directory. Copy it ad paste it in to your own theme's root directory. Next, rename this copied folder to "wpbdf". You can now edit any or all of the files within this folder. The plug-in will look for your theme's "wpbdf" folder first. If it can't find a customised version it will revert back to the default version. Be careful when editing the files. There are various references to PHP variables and functions. You should avoid editing the PHP code unless you are PHP savvy. Avoid amending the files directly in the /wp-business-directory-free/templates/ folder, as these will be overwritten when new updates are released. Also please keep in mind future updates to the plug-in may include updates to the original template files, so you may need to modify your custom files as and when they predate newer core versions. To check that your custom files are in-date, navigate to the "wpbdf->Custom Theme Files" option in your Wordpress admin area. Out-of-date theme versions will be indicated here.
We are currently developing this ability now. Over time we hope to provide you with a number of different themes that you can place in your Wordpress theme's "wpbdf" folder. I want to customise the look of my business directory but it's quite specific and I don't know how to do it myself Please get in touch with us via the forum and we'll see if we can help locate a designer for you. I'm not sure what to do...with any of it :S Visit our tutorial page at http://www.wpbusinessdirectorypro.com/tutorial/ for some pointers. If you are still unsure please get in touch via our email form or the support forum.
YES! Use it where-ever and whenever you want, provided you don't re-sell the plug-in or repackage it in any way (reselling the plug-in is prohibited and protected by governing laws). I've found a bug - what do I do Every effort has been made to fix any bugs but, as is always the case, sometimes bugs crop up. Don't panic. Simply report the bug to us and we'll investigate as soon as possible and if required we'll post an update to the plug-in. I've got some requests for future updates to the plug-in Great! We're always looking for ways to improve. Please log your ideas on our support forum. We'll consider every idea for our future updates.
