Great Plugin for Building Directories

alcivez August 14, 2023

I’m giving 4 stars because even though you have amazing features and a great aesthetic overall, I think there are a few thing that could be improved. I had some trouble with changing the default icons for listing categories, and the very categories as well. For no coders-amateurs like me, it could be a little time consuming to go over each code line and keep moving forward, but overall you have done a great job so far. So, congrats!
