    The Directory plugin lets you create full blown directory website.

    == Description ==

    The “Directory” plugin gives you the ability to create a full blown directory
    site. At its core it uses the “Content Types” submodule introduced with
    CustomPress which gives you the ability to control all of your custom post
    types, taxonomies and fields. The “Directory” plugin, uses custom taxonomies for
    its top level categories. You can add as many taxonomies as you want. Each
    taxonomy can be extended by adding categories and sub-categories inside it.
    Using this method you can create extremely well organized directory with perfect
    URL structure.

    = Features =

    2. Default theme with options for “Background”, “Colors”, "Styles" and "Layout"
    3. Preconfigured Taxonomies and Custom Fields ( you can import at will )
    4. Header banner advertising management

    2. Upload the 'directory' folder to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory.
    3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

    == Frequently Asked Questions ==

    I get "Sorry, we can't find the content you're looking for at this URL. Please try selecting a menu item from above or to the side of this message to get where you'd like to go." after adding and visiting a directory listing.

    You can fix that by re-saving your permalink structure by going to Settings->Permalinks.

    == Usage Guides ==

    The “Directory” plugin package comes with a default theme. It can be found
    inside “directory/themes/default” directory. You can use it straight from the
    plugin or if you want to customize it you can copy it to your “themes” directory
    and do your customizations there. Speaking of customization the theme comes with
    theme options for “Background”, “Colors”, "Styles" and "Layout". You can find
    these options inside your WP-ADMIN panel under the top level menu “Appearance”.
    With these options you can control almost any presentation aspect from the
    default theme.

    The “Directory” plugin also comes with the “PayPal Express” payment gateway
    integrated. You can set up you API credential inside Directory->Payments->PayPal
    settings and you can begin chagrin your users for membership. Current version
    comes with a paypal one time payments, direct credit card payments and recurring
    billing payments integrated. For the recurring billing payments you can set the
    billing period and billing frequency for the payments.

    The plugin also offer a header banner space which can be managed from the
    back-end from Directory->General->Advertising.

    For the novice users, the plugin comes with 16 base preconfigured taxonomies
    which you can import at will. You can also import an example Custom Field. Using
    the “Custom Fields” functionality of the Content Types submodule you can extend
    your listings however you like – text-fields, text-areas, check-boxes, radio
    buttons, drop-downs and more. You can find all of this settings inside
    Direcrory->General->General Settings

    The current version also allows you to set the Content Types to apply for
    sub-sites network-wide. That option can be found under
    Directory->General->General Settings
