[...] Plugin: Business Directory For WordPress [...]

Loved this plugin, even though it did make me spend all of Sunday rewriting my site around it!

Suggestions / Comments:-

1) The plugin needs emails to ‘admin’ that someone is awaiting approval. This is especially important for people running multiple sites who won’t look at the admin page that often nor go into the Business Directory setting to see if anything is awaiting approval.

2) Would probably be good to send a confirmation email to the person putting an entry on too – either at entry or approval time. That way (a) they know the entry has ‘made it’ or will know if someone else is pretending to be them (b) it’s an opportunity to plug the site they’ve registered for (c) other reasons I can’t really think of at the moment, but I know are there

2) Would be good to more easily change the layout of the directory. Or find where the layout is. Maybe it’s just me, but I did spend an awfully long time trying to work out where it was in the PHP code and how to change it a bit. [ Also broke it a couple of times, but fixed it again ]

3) Just for info, seems it works just as well as a POST as well as a PAGE [ My site originally used posts to generate the menu, so first thought was to add this as a post - tried successfully but decided to rewrite the site instead! ]

There’s probably loads more little things, but as an off-the-shelf plugin I thought it was really really good. Now I’m off to look at my other sites, to see how it might work there

Oh .. almost forgot … can I have two databases running on the same site? Or rather – as I’m sure I can – …. HOW do I have … etc. )

Still working on it. We have a version with categories almost ready to post. Hopefully by the end of August.

Great plugin, although it doesn’t seem to work with WP 2.8.3. Do you plan to extend support to newer versions of WP? Cheers

Submitting Form, Please Wait… is all I get. I tried it in multiple browsers. I am running 2.8 wordpress so maybe it doesn’t like the newest version?
