 * Before I spend hours trying to deal with how to get something done with this 
   plugin I’m going to ask and check on support for it. That’ll help me decide whether
   to proceed or just keep looking for something suitable.
 * 1. Can these listings be non viewable to non members or non logged in members?
   So the posts don’t even show up anywhere or with a message about being a logged
   in member to view listings? If this is doable, how is it done specifically? (
   Follow up: is it an option to make the listings viewable to a specific member
   role/group? If so, how?)
 * 2. I have a different registration form that includes required information about
   a previous product purchase so when they register, I need these fields to show
   up. Can I add additional fields to the registration option and just use that 
   one, OR if it’s not possible, and I still use a different registration form how
   do I bridge that form to register with the directorist registration – or how 
   do I turn off directorist registration so it uses the one I already use and need?
 * Explanation in case there is another option: I have 3 user roles. Two of them
   would be able to use directorist to create listings but would be registered differently,
   providing different information. The separate registration is required, it’s 
   not an option to blend and merge. It’s two groups, two different registration
   forms/fields so I know what group they’re registering for….but each could still
   post listings. I need a way to make that happen. Any suggestions on how to do
   this?
 * 3. How do you turn off the featured image inside the post? It’s huge, the cropping
   doesn’t work or do anything…the image might be 600×300 on the home post page 
   but when you click to the post itself, the image is huge, blurry and ugly. I 
   need to know where to change that or remove the element from the post page itself.
   This one issue is just about to push me out the door to never using this for 
   anything. It needs to be resolved.
 * 4. Is there a way to make directorist work with native wp categories and tags
   that are usually connected to normal posts? I prefer my theme’s post pages/full
   page layout and for those archive/category pages to come up but it seems directorist
   uses something else and my native categories don’t even show up. I have to basically
   add them all again separately. How do I use BOTH of them or just wp categories
   and tags?
 * The biggest problem I see with it is that directorist basically takes over the
   registration and log in to post listings and doesn’t allow for user roles and
   to use other, custom login/registration.
 * Is this resolvable or do I need to keep looking?

 * 1. It is possible to restrict archive page for logged in user only by using shortcode
   with parameter, ex. [directorist_all_listing logged_in_user_only=”yes”], but 
   it is not possible to do for single listing page. And it is also not possible
   to restrict listing page to specific user role.
 * 2. You can skip Directorist default registration form from settings page. Please
   go to “Directory Settings > Login Form”, scroll to “SIGN UP MESSAGE” section 
   and replace the url with your preferred url link then save changes.
 * 3. Please go to “Directory Settings > Single Listing”, look for “Show Preview
   Image” and “Show Slider Image” option and turn them to NO then save changes.
 * 4. Sorry, this is not possible.
