In answer to your questions:
- At this time there are no options in the front-end which allows a site visitor to sort the listings aside from a search (where you can refine results to show by Highest rated, closest or alphabetic). However, there is a sortable listings feature which will be added to the
next release major of Vantage which will appear as a filter button below the search bar.
- This would require some customization of the default theme as it is not an existing feature at this time, but technically yes it can be done as there is no encryption which would prevent you from making such modifications.
- If the desired option is to have a separate setup for different locations, then this can be achieved through the use of a
WordPress multisite setup and some additional customization. An example of this can be found in the
AppThemes customer showcase on
this site. Otherwise, "Doctors" used as the category would allow listings from any location which can be searched on a single installation.
- AppThemes does not officially support third party plugins, so we cannot guarantee that all plugins will be compatible with our themes. There does not appear to be any specific discussion around these plugins you mention within the community, so no confirmation of whether or not they are compatible. You can find some specific plugin recommendations which have been tested
here, as well as
AppThemes marketplace products, and a specific post regarding auto posting
here which may help.
- The theme has widgetized areas in the header, footer , listings, and other pages as seen in the
Vantage admin demo, but by default, the main page does primarily display listings.
- The admin can still access the listing for editing from the WordPress admin dashboard.
- Yes. You can set the status of the listing in the .csv which is uploaded.
Thanks.
