Hello @bcworkz!
Thank you for your insightful response regarding the development of a business directory on WordPress. Your points have given me a lot to consider, and I’ve made some decisions based on your advice.
Per your advice, I’ve been exploring various plugins for managing the directory’s metadata, but I’m encountering a challenge. As you alluded to, most of the plugins I’ve found store metadata in the standard post meta table. As you mentioned, this might not be the most efficient approach, especially since I anticipate having a large number of records (10k+).
Given my situation, I’m leaning toward custom implementation for metadata storage. Do you, or anyone else in the forum, have recommendations or resources that could guide me on how to effectively implement a custom table for metadata within a WordPress environment?
Any tips on best practices for linking this custom table with my bespoke theme would also be greatly appreciated. I’m going throw the WordPress Developer as you suggested, and If I find anything I will post it here.
Thanks again.
