 * Hi, I downloaded your directory plugin, and it’s almost exactly what I’m looking
   for.
 * One need, I would like to be able to have business listings by location. So have
   a page for, say Washington DC, with a link to restaurants, attractions, bars,
   hotels, etc.
 * Then another page for say New York City, with the categories.
 * What would be the best way to do this. My hope is to also have a page like Restaurants
   that shows all of them both cities, and allows visitors to filter them.
 * How could this be accomplished using your plugin?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi Larry,
 * A few options/suggestions for you. I would set the business type (restaurant,
   hotel, etc) as a standard taxonomy similar to the built in “category” taxonomy
   that is attached to the posts. For the location I would use a custom field which
   you can setup through ACF or another custom field plugin. We’ve got a similar
   setup here: [https://firstpeaknc.com/business-category/bed-and-breakfasts-and-inns/](https://firstpeaknc.com/business-category/bed-and-breakfasts-and-inns/)
 * We are using facetWP to filter down and the filter mechanism is a mixture of 
   custom fields and taxonomies.
 * Let me know if this works out for you or if you need any other direction on this.
   We’ve got probably 30-40 sites setup very similar to what you’re trying to accomplish.
 * Thanks,
    Boomer
 * p.s. If it works out for you, please drop us a review on the repo.
