Hi,
I understand you’re looking to create a member directory for your PTA where the directory is not publicly accessible and is protected by some form of login or password.
The Business Directory Plugin itself does not have a built-in feature to password protect the directory or restrict detailed listing views to logged-in users only. However, you can achieve this by using a WordPress membership or access control plugin such as “Restrict User Access.” This plugin allows you to restrict access to the directory content so that only logged-in users or members with proper credentials can view the listings.
For example, you can configure “Restrict User Access” to protect your directory post types and categories, and set up a redirect for non-members to a login or information page. This way, only authorized users can access the directory.
You can find detailed instructions on how to protect directory content using “Restrict User Access” in this tutorial section: Protect the directory content.
If you want users to create profiles and log in, you can use WordPress’s default user registration system or integrate a membership plugin for more advanced user management.
If you have any further questions or need help setting this up, feel free to ask!
Kind regards,
