    Hello,

    I am looking forward to test driving this directory.
    We plan on listing business owners that work from home.
    I was wondering if it will present a problem that they won’t want to list their full addresses?

    Thanks

    Hi Colin,

    Not really sure what you’re trying to achieve there. So you’re planning to create a directory without addresses? Could you elaborate a little bit more?

    Thanks!

    You do not need to use the full address, but something needs to be added in the “Street address” field, it cannot be blank. For example, they can just add “My business” or whatever.

    If you want to use without addresses and without maps altogether, you will need the Custom Post Types addon, see more at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-general/#physical

    Thanks

    Hello there! Thanks so much for the super fast responses.

    Well, I expect most businesses to list their full addresses, but i know lots of business owners that work from home, so I wanted to find away to protect their privacy.
    I wouldn’t want my home address to be publicized all over the place 🙂
    So I guess what I am planning to achieve is an option for privacy.
    Perhaps it’s a simple as maybe just recommending people to just put their street name, and leave out the number…..

    Hi Colin,

    That’s a good idea, to use translation to adjust the instructions for the user in the form and advise them to set an address near their home, but to avoid using their actual home address.

    Let us know how it goes
