 * Hi
 * I’m in the process of testing the plugin and was wondering if its possible to
   do the following
    1. Assign a category by default to a listing
    2. Stop users from been able to add and delete listings (The user role I have only
       allows editing of posts but an still delete)
    3. Remove a Field Label from the frontend
 * Apart from the layout it looks like the plugin could do what we require.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@awr10e](https://wordpress.org/support/users/awr10e/)
 * Thank you for your questions!
 * To keep things easy to read, I have provided answers to your questions inline
   below.
    1. Assign a category by default to a listing – That’s something we can consider
       for future development, but not something the plugin allows for today.
    2. Stop users from been able to add and delete listings (The user role I have only
       allows editing of posts but an still delete) – This is also not a setting that
       Business Directory Plugin has. Do you require registration in the plugin to 
       post listings? That may help cut down on the problem. You can set listings to
       be pending before going live; that way, you can review listings and decline 
       any that you don’t want. That setting is under **Directory > Settings > Listings
       > General Settings**.
    3. Remove a Field Label from the frontend – I’m not sure what you mean by frontend,
       but you can remove a field label for all listings in the field settings. Find
       the field you want to remove the label for under **Directory > Directory Content
       > Form Fields **and then find the Display label and/or icon field and choose
       the appropriate setting there.
 * I hope that helps. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

 * Hi [@bobbied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbied/)
 * Our aim is to have a directory of our member clubs within which the clubs can
   update the details about their club. The frontend form feature is really beneficial.
 * So we don’t want anyone else other than admins able to add and delete a club (
   listing)
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@awr10e](https://wordpress.org/support/users/awr10e/)
 * I think the only way to accomplish that for sure would be to disable the front-
   end listing submission and you would have complete control over those functions.
   That would mean that listing owners couldn’t edit their listings at all.
 * If you’d like to go that route, you can turn off the listing submit button under**
   Directory > Settings > Listings > Buttons** or you can disable it completely 
   under **Directory > Settings > Advanced**.

 * Hi [@bobbied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbied/)
 * Disabling the frontend listing submission would defeat the whole purpose of the
   clubs been able to edit their details.
 * Just need the ability to stop them adding and deleting listings.
 * thanks
