    Hi all

    i want to create a directory site, i am new to this so i hope i can get some good help here 🙂

    i have lot's of questions and don't know where to start.

    businesses will each need to have their own page where i want to include an image, info, an offer, etc.

    i want to use yoast local seo plugin to show the directions, opening hours etc.

    i need to be able to put each business in the respective city and category (categories)

    * so this is issue 1) ... how do i set this up so each "page (business listing)" can be "attached" to a city and one or more categories so when a user performs a search it will display this in the results?

    ** Now issue 2) ... how would i be able to list all found results in a list like here small image, short info etc.

    *** issue 3) ... i would like same kind of search so show results based on input on combination of "what & where" --- and browse based on chosen city and/or category in dropdown... also like in the example above

    this is it for now, i guess this will keep me busy for a while

    i know there are plugins and themes that do something like this but i would like to have this in genesis with a chosen theme or build it in dynamik... with plugins there is always the update issue, compatibility issues etc.
    + i want to keep it as fast as possible 🙂

    i do not need functions like paid membership per listing or business owners to be able to change a listing on their own...

    The WP-Types plugin can do this. If you need assistance, there are several developers who are very familiar with it.


    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
