  • Ok let’s start with the categories first.

    The first thing that you have to do is to create the categories that your directory will have. In order to do that, go Directory -> Listing Categories

    There add all of the categories that you want without any particular order it won’t matter.

    Let’s assume in your case that your directory will have those categories:

    Agriculture – import-export
    Bedding plants, bulbs and seeds
    Beekeeping and silk culture
    Beer
    Biscuits
    Champagne and sparkling wines
    Oils and fats, edible
    Electricity – import-export
    Electricity and distribution
    Abrasives, mechanical
    Aluminium and aluminium alloys
    Agricultural systems and equipment
    Agriculture and forestry – machiney
    Aeronautical equipment manufacturers
    Pleasure boats
    Anti-corrosion products, chemical
    Biotechnologies
    Asbestos-replacement products
    Foams, rubber and plastic

    After you create them, go to Appearance -> Menu

    There you’ll create sections – menus for the categories that you want to group. Let’s say that you want a section that is called Agriculture and Livestock. You’ll create a menu with that name and then on the left side of the menu tab you’ll drag the Listing Categories that you want. After you do that, you’ll simply hit Save menu again.

    After you create all the sections, you can go to Pages -> Add New

    There you’ll create one new page and you’ll name it Home and one more where you’ll call it Blog.

    You’ll open Home page again and on the right side, you’ll see an option where is says Template. Click on that and choose the Default Template to Directory. After you do that, click the update button.

    After you do that, go to Settings->Reading and where it says Front Page Displays click on Static Page(Select Below) and choose for Front page the Home page that you created earlier and for Posts page, choose the Blog page. After you do that, click save.

    Then go to Appearance->Widgets

    There you’ll see various widget positions. The directory1, directory2, directory3, directory4 etc positions are where the menu sections should be placed. In order to do that, drag tha custom menu widget to the position that you want, select from the drop down menu the section that you created earlier and write again the name of your section where it says title. Hit the save button and repeat the process for the other sections as well.

    Once you do that, go to the front page and you’ll see that your categories appear there.

    I’ve spent a couple of hours trying to set up this listing by following your directions, but after entering all my categories, I go to appearance and the only category showing up is ‘uncategorized’. Categories are showing up on the page where I added them, but not in this page.

    Hi,

    Did you enter the categories in Directory->Listing Categories ?

    Regarding the appearance->menu. On your left do you see an option that says listing categories? if not, click the Screen Options on the top right and enable Listing Categories.

    I made the same mistake at first, it’s new pages not new posts.
