Jun 10, 2026A: Hi,
Thanks for your queries. Here are the answers:
1. Currently, users can only contact listing owners through the Contact Listing Form available on the listing page. However, if you use BuddyBoss on your website, this can be extended further as Directorist includes BuddyBoss integration, allowing users to interact and network within the community.
2. No, there is no requirement within Directorist to obtain permission from business owners before adding their websites or business information. This depends entirely on how you choose to operate and manage your directory.
3. If you are using publicly available business information, there should generally not be any issues. Additionally, Directorist includes a Claim Listing feature, which allows business owners to claim ownership of their listings and manage them themselves if they wish.
4. No, Directorist does not include separate sales pages by default. However, you can display WooCommerce products directly on listing pages using shortcodes.
5. Yes, you can display related blog content within listings by using WordPress or custom shortcodes, depending on your setup.
6. Directorist does not provide hosting or servers. We provide WordPress plugins and themes only. You would need to arrange your own hosting environment and server management through your preferred hosting provider.
