## Description

Smooth Directory is a simple way to add a business directory to a WordPress site.
The public view of the directory is a simple, responsive two-column view, while 
the WP admin is extremely easy to use.

The plugin is ready to start using right out of the box by navigating to /businesses
and is easily extendable by developers by overwriting the two public facing templates
and styles.

The directory comes with built-in pagination, category filtering and alphabet filtering.

There are quite a few WordPress directory plugins, but if you’re looking for a responsive,
easy to get going (and easy for clients to manage) business directory plugin, Smooth
Directory will work great for you!

### Features

## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload [`smooth-directory`](https://github.com/trevanhetzel/smooth-directory/archive/master.zip)
    to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  How can I modify the templates?

There are two templates that you can overwrite: `archive-businesses.php` (the main
directory template) and `taxonomy-business_category.php` (the template shown when
a category is selected). The best way to do this is to copy those two files from
the plugin (located at `smooth-directory/public/`) to the root directory in your
theme and then modifying them from there.

  Can I have multiple directories?

No. Currently, only one directory with the slug `businesses` is supported.

I’ve reached out to the author via email, but have heard nothing back. I’d like 
to offer my services to get the bugs worked out in this plugin. All I ask is the
author rolls the updates into the WordPress.org version of the plugin so future 
updates are intact.
