 * Hi, I’d like to know if there is a shortcode I can add to [business_directory]
   to display the listings “by category” instead of a full list containing ALL categories.
 * I have a website with listings of events and vendors by categories, and I want
   to be able to filter by category on the various pages. So when you click Vendors,
   a list will show with only those people labeled “Vendors” will show. Or only 
   those labeled “Barn Sales” will show.
 * My website where it is being used is here if youd like to see a visual of what
   Im trying to explain

 * There is an option available in the Settings menu where you can set the default
   view of the business directory: All Listings or Categories.
 * We hope this information helps!

 * I realize that, and yes it’s better option than the whole list, but I’d rather
   it be a shortcode to JUST pull up ONE category upon clicking a page…
    “So when
   you click Vendors, a list will show with only those people labeled “Vendors” 
   will show. Or only those labeled “Barn Sales” will show.”
 * Can this be achieved?

 * At the present time this is not possible.
 * It is certainly something we may try to look into in the future but right now
   it is not something we are looking at.
