    Can we also setup all this data

    (Business Name) = %%item_title%%
(Category) Hopefully more than one = can be set manually, in rule settings, based on existing categories on your site
(About the Business) – unfortunately this info is not shared by the Yelp API
(Address) – %%item_location%%
(Reviews) – %%item_review_highlights%%
(Images) – %%item_all_images%%
(Get Direction) – %%item_get_directions%%
(Hours) – %%item_schedule%%
(URL) – %%item_url%%
(PHONE) – %%item_phone%%
(MAP) – %%item_map%%
(Social Media Icons) – %%pinterest_share_button%%, %%twitter_share_button%%, %%facebook_share_button%%

    RE: the search functions that are present on the home page for this page, are they provide in the plugin? for example these search features https://prnt.sc/fFAogaxdEVzt

    The zip code search is a beta addon available to Pro Pack bundle customers, on request.

    The other links/buttons, ex. Attorneys, Financial Specialist Coach / Child Specialist and the dropdown items are categories links that they input into a navigation widget and embedded that widget on the page above the directory. This can be accomplished in the core Connections plugin with no addons. You would add ?cn-cat={category_id} to the end of the directory page address/URL. Replace {category_id} with the category ID found on the Connections Categories admin page.

    RE: Also can we have breadcrumbs on the locations so something like /locations/texas/houston/abc-store?

    Sort of. Please navigate to the Connections Setting admin page, click the Advanced tab, and scroll to the Permalink options. Here, you can enable permalink for locality (city) and region (state). Enabling these options will convert those sections in the address to links that, when clicked, will filter by the area that was clicked.

    The URL will be like this:

    https://your-site.tld.directory-homepage/locality/city-name

    or

    https://your-site.tld.directory-homepage/region/state-name

    The locality|region permalink slugs can be changed on the Connections Settings admin page under the Advanced tab.

    The WordPress permalink rules require a key => value pair, the key being the permalink slug and its value.

    RE: Can we also setup all this data

    Business Name = yes, you can enter organizations and set its name.

    Category = yes, you can add as many categories as you wish and attach any number of them to an organization. These function exactly as they do for WordPress Posts.

    About the Business = yes, you can use either the bio or notes field. I would suggest the notes field since this is not to be visible.

    Address = yes, you can add addresses.

    Reviews = Connections does not support reviews. It is requested from time to time. Generally, it is not desired as they require management and adds potential liabilities.

    Images = yes, both an image photo and an image logo are supported. Additionally, an admin can add as many images from the Media Library to the bio and notes fields as desired.

    Get Direction = yes, but requires a premium template. When the map pin is click, there is a button to get directions.

    Hours = yes, there is free hours of operation addon.

    URL = yes, links can be added.

    PHONE = yes, phone numbers can be added.

    MAP = yes, but requires a premium template.

    Social Media Icons = yes, social networks can be added.

    I hope I have thoroughly answered your question; please let me know.
