Hi @oxen130

I’m sorry to hear that you ran into issues with this!

This is a common problem on all sites with user-generated content, and we fight with the same issues you do regarding spam. It sounds like you have done the standard things, like requiring registration on BD. Have you also set up the reCAPTCHA settings that come with it? You can add reCAPTCHA support for listing contact messages If not, that’s under Directory > Settings > General Settings > SPAM and is described in detail here:  https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/general-tab/#recaptcha.

We also have an article about some general steps you can take to help cut down on the issue: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/how-to-handle-spammers-with-business-directory-plugin/

Hi @azure11

Thank you for reaching out about this! You can make bulk changes to the data in your directory by using our CSV export-import process. We’ve outlined that in our Knowledge Base here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/how-do-i-do-mass-data-changes-in-the-plugin/

Be sure to run a small test before making changes to all of your listings so that you can notice any difficulties that may arise during the process. We have a great list of FAQs and troubleshooting tips in the article here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/csv-import-export/

That should get you started!

Hi @lliniewicz

I’m glad to hear that you are considering Business Directory Plugin for your project! We appreciate hearing from you.

A membership plugin is usually used to restrict access to certain pages, but that would work with our fields. It sounds like for what you are looking for, you might benefit from checking out our sister plugin, Formidable Forms.

I’m sorry we couldn’t help you with this!

Hi @mabdulla

Thanks for trying that, and I’m sorry it didn’t work. We don’t have access to that theme since it is a premium theme, unfortunately.

We would like to troubleshoot this issue with you further.

Please contact us with a link to this forum thread here: http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/contact/

Hi @baykanun

Thanks for following up here. Can you please check that your fee plan (even if it is free) allows images? That setting is under Directory > Directory Content > Plans.

Please try that and let me know if you run into more issues.

Hi @baykanun

Thank you so much for getting in touch about the primary thumbnail.

When a user submits a listing, the images will show after uploading which one will be used as the thumbnail image. Users can rearrange their attachments to change the order when submitting a listing.

I hope that helps clarify how this works! Please check that and let me know if you have further questions.

Hi @kmp2

Thanks for your question! We’re not familiar with that plugin and we haven’t tested it with ours, so I’m wondering if their support team may be able to provide a better answer than we can. We do offer the ability to do template overrides, and it may be possible to include something like that in an override, but I can’t say for sure.

If you’d like to proceed with that and have the right skill set, you can learn more about that here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/general-customization-guide/

Hi @shn1957

Thanks for getting back to me on this. That site appears to have a Coming Soon message displaying right now.

If it’s easier, you can use Chrome Developer Tools to examine the code of your site and find the exact CSS that needs changing. Here are written instructions for how to have a look here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/ and here is a short video that might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOEw9iiopwI
