So I have agreed to help a family member with their website, which is already created with wordpress (I think, I have a hard time figuring this out) and hosted on one.com (she says she's paid for the hosting but neither of us really understands what is going on). She wants to have a business directory feature where people can search for/order services based on their location. I have been trying to follow instructions from youtube and chatgpt and none of it works. How do I download plugins? It seems like I need
- hosting services (supposedly already done, one. com)
- Content management services (also supposedly already done, as I THINK the website is built on wordpress but I can't really tell)
- change the theme to ListingPro or something else that supports directories??
- a bunch of plugins like GeoDirectory so people can search for services based on location, but I have no idea how to download these plugins (
yourdomain.com/wp-admin
just gives me error messages)?
at this point I'm willing to pay someone to do this because it seems so ridiculously complicated and I hate it. I feel terrible that I can't help, but… you know I can't magically do web design just because I'm young ish ;_;
You can check if it’s built with WordPress or not by entering the domain name to [Is It WordPress](https://isitwp.com) tool.
If the above answer is yes, then here are a few free and paid [business directory plugins for WordPress](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/best-directory-plugins-for-wordpress/).
If you also want to change the theme, I’d recommend SeedProd or Neve. I used them. I also once used Listable from Pixelgrade. Works great and built specifically for list and directory sites.
