Hi experts,
How to add a business directory using WordPress. WordPress is very famous nowadays, all I know about wordpress is that it is an open source blogging tool. But I don't actually know how the environment of wordpress works. Just some tutorials will do, need some help fellows. Thanks
Business directory can be created in word press through two different ways:
This plugin is called business directory and can add any kind of directory.
It is easy to manage new requests. It however creates just one page of the site as a directory as opposed to the whole website hence cannot be used for a robust directory site.
It can be accessed via the link below:

2. Custom made
This is done as follows:
a)     Using posts – Posts are created and treated like listings of a directory. These posts can be customized to an individual’s liking
b)     Using blog categories – Blogs are categorized as listing pages
c)     Using a form in a submit page – this uses contract form 7 that can be customized in categories. Submissions are mailed to website owner to create a post page manually
Custom making gives one more control on their directory and the entire website works as a directory. It is however more tedious
