Hi, Thank you for the prompt reply. Yes I am using the page with [businessdirectory]
The problem, as you directed, was under Post/Category Settings, Default new post status was set to “Pending”. I changed it to “Publish” and now I can immediately see the new added listings. Before that I had started to republish the set page for the businessdirectory each time I entered a new listing. No need for that now.
I indeed thank you for your guidance. I really loved this plugin. Good work.
