Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The shortcode for this Name Directory plugin is like this: [namedirectory dir=1] The 1 in this example is the internal ID of the directory, the rest of the shortcode should always look like this.
Go to the Name Directory settings page Hover over the directory you want to add to the page. A few options should show now, like Delete, Manage and Shortcode – see screenshot https://ps.w.org/name-directory/assets/screenshot-2.png Click ‘Shortcode’, a little textbox will show now.

Since v1.7, yes there is! You can import a .csv-file into a directory. Go to the Name Directory settings page Hover over the directory you want to import names into. A few options should show now, like Delete, Manage and Import – see this screenshot for an example Click ‘Import’ Select your .csv-file Upload You can add names, descriptions and submitter entries, just the first column (name) is required.

Might your first try does not work, please use https://www.freefileconvert.com to convert your file into a valid CSV file.
