Business Directory plugins

Hello Michelle,

Thanks for the question about creating a Business Directory with a Map Locator using BoldGrid. BoldGrid is a plugin for WordPress, so if you’re using a different plugin, then you would not really be using BoldGrid for that function.  I did upload a plugin in order to see if it would work and it did for me.  I had to add it to my menu as a separate link, but it worked when I tried it.  I used the CM Business Directory plugin.   I also loaded the CM Maps locator for it too.  In order to use Google maps you would need to add your key.  Google changed their policy on using their maps in June.  Here’s one of the many explanations on the issue.  The business directory can definitely be created using simple links and images directly in BoldGrid, but you would need to have a separate page within your WordPress installation if you intend to use a plugin solution.

I hope this helps to answer your question, please let us know if you require any further  assistance.

Regards,

Arnel C.

Hello celestedesign,

It appears that the CM Map Location plugin does not play well with BoldGrid. We can get it to work without using a BoldGrid theme, but when using a BoldGrid theme, it does not work.

You may want to test different map location plugins or simply embed map locations from Google maps onto the pages.

Kindest Regards,
