Reading through and looking at http://wpgeo.directory/online/. However I’m not completely clear about the best approach perhaps because I’m not sure what I’m looking at.
In your example, are attractions and events out of the box while hotel, restaurant & online businesses CPT?
Can you confirm CPT can avoid location requirements (thinking of scholarship listings and was going to enter as regular posts to avoid the location requirements)?
Could CPT be used for job listings and connected to existing business listings with the restriction that they be claimed?
Not CPT related but… we certified businesses based on specific criteria. I was thinking of using ‘Featured’ category because it already comes with a badge that only needs to be adjusted. Is that the best way or should I create something separate? Either solution should controllable (on/off) only by admin and we don’t need the ‘Featured’ category.
