 * Hi,
 * As an Elementor Pro user I’m very interested in using your plugin to create an
   Artists/Crafters directory on one of my websites but I have some questions first.
   Can you help me?
 * 1. Is it possible to disable the “required” option for the location field? Some
   of the users will only have online businesses so they won’t have a physical address.
 * 2. Is it possible to add a store/workshop to several categories/child categories
   from the front-end? I need users to be able to add themselves in many categories/
   child categories like Crafting > Cosplay, Larp, Medieval – etc… and some might
   also be sewers so they will add their store to the Sewing category, etc.
 * I’m ok with getting premium add-ons as long as they help me build the kind of
   directory I imagine.
    Thank you!

 * Hi [@vinem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinem/),
 * 1. This is not possible in the same CPT (custom post type), however with the 
   CPT manager and the location manager you can disable the location input for a
   whole CPT, to make a location less CPT, you could call this “online businesses”.
 * 2. The front-end add listing form has a category input, users can set as many
   categories as they want or if you have the pricing manager installed you can 
   limit the number of allowed categories and even what categories are allowed per
   price package.
 * If you have any more questions just let me know.
 * Thanks,
 * Stiofan

 * Hi again,
    Thank you for your answer.
 * I was actually thinking of just making it optionnal so users could put a physical
   address OR a website (or both if they have both). If I put an address field it
   will always be required?
 * Aaaah. I think I get it. You mean the form will be different but it’s not a category.
   
   So, users with physical address would use let’s say a “physical buninesses” form,
   and if they’re online they’d use an “online businesses” form, but I can put the
   exact same fields (except the address one) in both and people will be able to
   choose their categories, etc. and the stores, physical or online, will be displayed
   all together in the categories. Am I right? If I am, I can go with that, I don’t
   mind creating several forms. I will have to anyway. I’ll just have to make them
   all in double, one for the physical and one for the online, right?
 * Another question about the map system. Can I import my own SVG icons?
 * I have other questions about the Membership plans you propose.
    I saw that it
   says “Unlimited domains”. Does it mean I can run your plugin on several WordPress
   websites (I have 2)? And what about the “Price lock”? Because there is 15% off
   until the 31st december so will I always pay the same price (with the 15% discount)
   or will it go back to the original price in the future?
 * Sorry for all my questions, I’ve been working for a year on my project and already
   spent a lot of money, I just want to be sure your plugin is the right one for
   what I want to achieve here.
 * Thank you and have a nice day!

 * Hi Vinem,
 * _and the stores, physical or online, will be displayed all together in the categories_
 * No, each post type will have its own categories (even if you add the same categories
   for both post type, they’ll be considered different categories) and you cannot
   mix online and physical businesses.
 * A solution many users adopted is to ask for the online businesses to enter at
   least the city they operate in as the address. That way you can show online businesses
   and physical businesses together.
 * _Does it mean I can run your plugin on several WordPress websites _
 * Yes and if you use the discount now, you’ll ay the same price next year.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Paolo,
 * Thank you for your answer.
    I think I have a better view at how it works now 
   and you got yourself a new member 🙂
 * And thanks again to Stiofan!
