Additional Links & Fields

Back to User Guides

The Business Directory plugin allows to add extra links and fields to businesses.

Custom links can be added for all the businesses that appear in the directory. 

Once the custom link label has been set, it will appear as an input field when editing the business and the output field when displaying the business.

If left blank, they will not appear in either location. Use links in the email and social networks sections as for reference to format additional custom social links, such as Reddit or Vimeo.
