 * Is it possible to have directory fields that will be visible to members only ?
   So kinda have public form fields and fields that would be visible only to members.

 * Hi Goran87,
 * BD has the ability to restrict fields for certain payment plans–meaning the poster
   can pay for certain fields. We don’t yet have the ability to hide the field unless
   the user is logged in and has a certain set of permissions.
 * That’s something we can consider for future development, but not something the
   plugin allows for today.​​​​​​ We’re hearing about it a lot, so it’s going to
   bubble up the list pretty fast I think.

 * HI,
 * i am starting with a project now, is this now available or not yet?
 * As i am developer, ill try to do it myself, is there some action/filter that 
   would allow me to hook and hide some fields for not logged in users? Or maybe
   you can point me to the file that is looping through these fields and i can edit
   core.
 * Thanks alot

 * Hi Goran,
 * Glad you worked it out! That’s the best route to handle it rather than making
   BD try to do everything by itself.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues!
