Manage Options
The Manage Options 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 Manage Option section is comprised of the following “tabs” that are visible on the right once you click “Manage Options” from the Directory Admin menu. 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:
- Listings Tab with no sub-tabs
- Email Tab with sub-tabs:
- Payment Tab with sub-tabs:
- Appearance Tab with sub-tabs:
- 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).
