listing direct link and comment

Hi @pmn578z

Thanks for your questions. To keep things easy to read, I have provided answers to your questions inline below.

1- How can I easier for a listing owner to go into his/her listing without needing to search for his/her listing.

For this, we recommend setting up a separate page that will allow users to log in and edit their listings. Create the page — call it something like “Admin access” or whatever makes the most sense for your site, then put this shortcode on the page: [businessdirectory-manage-listings]. Users will then be able to log in and manage their listings.

In the latest release, we have also added the Manage Listings button to the Quick Search area on the main page of the directory. You can learn more about that in our Knowledge Base here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/how-can-users-manage-their-own-listings/

2. When a message/comment is written in the message box at the bottom of the listing, how the listing owner is supposed to receive it. No email is received upon that.

If you have Contact forms enabled for Business Directory to use to contact the owner of the listing, the plugin can use EITHER the author’s email associated to the listing (the WP user) or the email actually included in the listing data (the listing email).

You can change this setting under Directory > Settings > E-Mail tab > General Settings sub-tab.

I hope that helps.
