Hi, I did search and found similar issues from donmcint but it was not followed up on. Iam also having issues using the two plugins Classifieds and Directory.
1. Most important: I chose to enable the sample taxonomies in Directory and wish I hadn't because as above, I cannot delete any. I added all of my own, but now I can't delete any. Ideally, I would be able to bulk edit taxonomies in CustomPress so I could delete all the sample taxonomies.
2. I could not even find where to edit taxonomies so I installed CustomPress to help me with all this but it's still very confusing. There are too many places to access the Classifieds and Directory stuff from, with the listings and settings being separate, and then the taxonomies are all combined in custompress. And when I go to enter a new taxonomy, the form repeats itself, it seems.
Very confusing to administer these!
3. When I click on "Add New Listing" in my admin (for Directory), it automatically goes under the first taxonomy and I have no way to change where it goes. Or at least, cannot find how to do that.

Hiya aodmarketing,
Thanks for your post here. You're right the current versions of these plugins have some conflicts. We had a developer in charge of all 3 of these plugins and he's no longer with us. 3 weeks ago we brought on a new developer to take over these projects and each plugin is undergoing a major rewrite as a result.
I've personally been testing the new Directory plugin and can tell you that the next release will sort each of these issues. All 3 plugins were initially based on the same code-base, this has caused more confusion than helpfulness (which was the original idea) so we've done more to make them 'stand alone' as separate from each other.
I wouldn't recommend using more than one of them on any individual site as that would be a bit overkill. Apologies for the hassle, but we do appreciate your patience and the next release of Directory will be worth the extra time - promise :)

So if I remove the classifieds plugin and work with Directory, will the new plugin make me do things over or all my configs will still be good (i.e. should I just wait for them to come out)? And will the new versions all be compatible? And will they be compatible as well with Membership?

Hiya,
We've just released a completely re-worked beta of this plugin. It addresses a ton of issues and while we still have a few kinks to workout it represents a massive improvement over the older version. Please give it a try and provide feedback here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/new-directory-plugin-version-20-beta
