 * Is there a way to point the listing pages to a page I have in my theme like you
   can for the Front Page and Submit Page?
 * I have edited the template pages, but it just seems like I am missing something
   If I can’t already point my listings to a page with the formatting already set
   up like the Front Page?
 * Thanks,
 * Annabelle

 * Here is the order in which the plugin will search for a listing template:
 * `/wp-content/themes/your-theme/lddlite_templates/single.php`
    `/wp-content/plugins/
   ldd-directory-lite/templates/single.php` `/wp-content/themes/your-theme/single-
   directory_listings.php` `/wp-content/themes/your-theme/single.php` `/wp-content/
   themes/your-theme/index.php`
 * It’s still using the WordPress template hierarchy, it’s just injecting two of
   it’s own locations to search before trying the defaults. This way I can bundle
   those templates with the plugin, providing a suggested starting place for customizing
   them to your particular needs.
 * Since they are posts, they cannot point at a particular page and only that page.
   That is the way it used to work, and query strings had to be used to identify
   which listing was being viewed; in addition to other complications, that worked
   against the SEO of any site using the plugin.
