Settings Menu

The Directory → Settings section is where all of the key Business Directory configuration options are entered, edited and maintained. You will spend some time learning about all of the options available, as BD is highly configurable and lots of options are available to control what you users can see and do.

The Settings are comprised of the following “tabs” that are visible on the right once you click Directory → Settings. It looks like this when you first install the plugin:

Or if you have one or more premium modules installed, you see this (with up to two additional tabs):

You can configure the following options from here:

• General Tab with sub-tabs:
  • General Settings
  • reCAPTCHA
  • Registration
  • Advanced
• Listings Tab with no sub-tabs
• Email Tab with sub-tabs:
  • General Settings
  • Templates
• Payment Tab with sub-tabs:
  • General
  • Authorize.net
  • PayPal (if premium module is installed)
  • Stripe (if premium module is installed)
  • PayFast (if premium module is installed)
• Appearance Tab with sub-tabs:
  • General
  • Styling
  • Images
• Premium Modules Tab with sub-tabs:
  • Enhanced Categories (if premium module is installed)
  • Regions (if premium module is installed)
  • Ratings (if premium module is installed)
  • Maps (if premium module is installed)
  • Attachments (if premium module is installed)
  • Featured Levels (if premium module is installed)
  • ZIP Search (if premium module is installed)
• Licenses Tab with no sub-tabs

At the top of the screen, there is a “Reset Defaults” button.  If you click that, it will reset all settings in BD to the default when the plugin was first installed.  You should only use this option if you are certain that you want to reset EVERYTHING for the directory.  Reset Defaults will not remove license keys.  They are always kept around no matter what (you can manually deactivate them if needed).
