The hierarchy is Category-&gt;<strong>Lists-&gt;Listings or List Items<\/strong>.\u00a0Keeping that in mind you can get started for a single page directory with these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0Create some broad\u00a0Categories first. Those will be helpful to display Lists by a single category on different pages or for the multi page mode. But you can skip this step if you want just a single page directory.<\/p>\n<p>2. Go to New\u00a0List\u00a0 and create a new List. Then simply start adding List items or Listings by filling up the fields you want. Use the Add New button to add more Listings in your list.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b3. Though you can just create one list and use the Single List mode. This directory plugin works the best when you create about 10-20 Lists. Each list should contain about 15-20 Listings. This is the most usual use case scenario. But you can do differently as per your need.<\/p>\n<p>4. Now go to a page or post\u00a0where you want to display the directory. On the right sidebar you will see a ShortCode Generator block. Click the button and a LightBox will appear with all the options you can select. Choose All Lists, and select a Style. Then Click Add\u00a0Shortcode button. Shortcode will be generated. Simply copy paste that to a location on your page where you want the directory to show up.<\/p>\n<p>The above steps are for the basic usages. There are a lot of advanced options available.
