What’s in a name? Apparently a lot. Good thing we planned for this…
I have received a handful of questions about how to change your Business Directory Name. The answer is ‘Yes’, you can change the name of your Directory.
We have posted information on how to do this in our documentation, however I will quickly review the process here, too…
We work with ‘shortcode’, which is the short piece of code that you put on your page to display the Directory on your site.
Normally, the shortcode for the Display page looks like this:
To rename your Business Directory, all you need to do is add a little text to the code, like this:
In the above example, the colored part (blue/red) needs to be added in order to change your Business Directory name. Specifically, the RED part is your new name. In this example, you would be changing the name to ‘Cool Directory‘. Easy as pie.
You can also change the width of your Business Directory. I don’t recommend changing the width unless you are an experienced coder because you will likely end up with some text wrapping or CSS problems to deal with. Regardless, if you want to change the width of your Business Directory, you would change the shortcode to look like this:
In the example above, you are changing the width to ’90 percent of your page width’, and you are also changing the name of your Directory to ‘Cool Directory’. You can change the width without changing the name by simply eliminating ‘name=”Cool Directory” ‘ in this example.
If you have any questions or feedback about this process, please let us know in the comments for this post.
