Hi @sniperkill,
Sorry that you ran into issues here!
First thing I would check is a conflict test.
Here is an article about how to test for theme and plugin conflicts with Business Directory, which may help pinpoint the issue: http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-check-for-plugin-and-theme-conflicts-with-bd/
Make sure you do both a theme and plugin conflict check at the same time.
Beyond that, I’d confirm that the page you’re looking at has the [business-directory] shortcode on it, and that shortcode is in a place that can expand (for example, some page builders will allow you to put that into a block that doesn’t run the main page loop in WP, preventing expansion.
If you see the physical shortcode on the page, most likely it’s a conflict or a lack of expansion…but a conflict test should help identify the culprit.
