## 説明

**Professional Category Display – Free**

SFR Directory Category Display solves a common issue with popular directory plugins:
category descriptions, images, and subcategories added in the admin area don’t appear
on the front end. This leaves category pages looking incomplete and provides a poor
user experience.

Perfect for Directorist, GeoDirectory, and Business Directory Plugin users who want
professional category pages without expensive premium subscriptions.

## FAQ

### Which directory plugins are supported?

SFR Directory Category Display works with:

 * **Directorist** (free and Pro versions)
 * **GeoDirectory** (free and premium versions)
 * **Business Directory Plugin** (free and premium versions)

The plugin automatically detects which platform you’re using.

### Does this work with all themes?

Yes, the plugin includes theme-friendly styling that adapts to your theme’s design
automatically. The styling is designed to work seamlessly with most WordPress themes
without requiring additional customisation.

### Is this plugin compatible with the premium versions of the supported directories?

This plugin has been tested for compatibility with the free versions of Directorist,
Business Directory Plugin, and GeoDirectory. It may work with their premium versions,
but this has not yet been formally tested.

### Will this slow down my website?

No. The plugin is lightweight and only loads on category pages where needed. It 
uses WordPress best practices and has minimal performance impact.

### Do I need to configure anything?

The plugin works automatically after activation. Optional settings are available
in the admin menu for layout and display customisation, but no configuration is 
required for basic functionality.

### Does it work with tags?

Yes, the plugin displays tag descriptions on tag pages just like category descriptions.
Location descriptions are also supported for Directorist.

### Can I customize the styling?

Yes, basic styling options are included free. The plugin includes layout options(
grid and list views) and theme-friendly styling. Advanced customisation options 
including custom CSS and color controls are available in the Pro version.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

When you deactivate the plugin, category descriptions will no longer be displayed
on the frontend, but all plugin settings and data are preserved. When you reactivate
the plugin, everything will work exactly as before. Plugin data is only removed 
when you completely delete the plugin from your site.

### Does it work with custom taxonomies?

Currently, the plugin works with the standard category and tag taxonomies of the
supported directory plugins. Directorist location taxonomy is also supported. Custom
taxonomies are not yet supported.

### Can I exclude certain categories?

No, the plugin currently displays descriptions for all categories that have them.
Category exclusion is not available in this version.

### Does this work with Directorist Pro?

Yes! SFR Directory Category Display is compatible with Directorist (both free and
Pro versions). The plugin detects Directorist automatically and works with both 
legacy archive systems and native WordPress taxonomy pages (Directorist 8.5+).

### Does this work with multiple directory plugins at once?

The plugin automatically detects which directory plugin you’re using. If you have
multiple directory plugins active, it will work with the first one it detects. For
best results, use one primary directory plugin.

### Where do I get support?

 * **Free version users:** Post in the WordPress.org support forum
 * **Pro version users:** Priority email support
 * **Critical issues:** We aim to release fixes within 48 hours

### Is there a Pro/Premium version available?

GeoDirectory, and Business Directory Plugin, so switching platforms doesn’t mean
losing your content or learning a new tool.
