Tell us what you are trying to do?
- I would like to set up a new directory of national support services
- Have visitors be able to search the directory by keywords e.g. "depression"
- Have visitors be able to browse the directory by "category" e.g. health and care, and subcategory "mental health"
- Have visitors be able to filter through results e.g. by cost (free/paid/mixed), type (therapy, support group etc.), country, designed for (parents, children etc.)
- Is it possible to add new filter criteria as it comes along? e.g. finding a new support type, or new support designed for a group not yet specified.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
- No, can you please recommend which is best to follow and the key options I need to select to set this up?
Also I have Importer Custom Fields Pro, so it needs to be set up so I can upload new support services automatically.
Thank you!
Hi Catriona,
Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.
Based on what you've shared, you can use our Toolset plugins to develop a directory website that you're planning.
Our Types plugin will help you register the necessary custom post types, custom fields, and custom taxonomies and Views plugin will allow you to show this data in the form of customized views, with search filters. And all this setup will be flexible, which means you can include new elements to it, as your project evolves.
To get started with a directory website, I'll recommend this step-by-step guide:

If you come across any specific question or concern, you're welcome to write to us anytime.
Note: I'm not familiar with "Importer Custom Fields Pro" plugin, but if you could share specific details around the planned automation of support services, I'll be in a better position to guide you accordingly.
regards,
Waqar
