Fast and easy setup to get online listing site or directory started.

== Description == Create a basic yet stylable directory type listing with custom categories. All field names can be changed to fit the purpose of your website. Fields are by default named Country, Address, State, City, ZipCode, Phone, Email, Website and Other. Map included for each listing and uses the Address and Zip Code fields to calculate the location. Simply add a google Maps API key into the control panel and away you go.

Supports a Featured Image that shows in main page listings and on archive and single lists. Other images can be added in the standard editor so lister has full control of images and can even create a gallery. Supports Comments and uses theme comment form. Supports Excerpts. Set number of listings on a page. Set number of characters on excerpt. Set text for 'read more' link. Includes default categories for all USA States that can be enabled. (Listings Categories can be anything... food, music, plays. OnList only provides the states since most use this type of plugin for listing by locations.) Set size of maps box. Also has a before and after content editor so you can make the OnList meld with your current theme. Includes two shortcodes, one to list the main page and another to create a Categories page with.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Q.: How do I let other people add a listing? A.: This plugin uses normal WordPress login and user functions. So just use it like you would a blog. Have People register and then they will have their own listing admin area without the administrative rights. (they can not change the plugin settings.)

Q.: Can I change the listing style? A.: If you know CSS then you can use any CSS editor to add a selctor in your Customizer or and other stylesheet. Using the Inspector on your browser it is easy to look up the selector name. Most all of OnList selectors start with onlist-.

Q.: How do I get an API key to use the maps? A.: To get an API Key, Visit: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key. Upi will be required to have a Google account in order to create the key but the proccess is simpler than pie. No programming experience or coding required. Just copy the number and paste it into the plugin field.

Q.: I just loaded a new theme and can not see the listings? A.: Go to Settings > Permalinks and hit "Save Changes." This refreshes your posts to recognize the onlist post. It is also possible that you have changed the permalink settings. Try to keep settings as "Post name" permalink.
