Professional Category Display – Free
SFR Directory Category Display solves a common issue with popular directory plugins: category descriptions, images, and subcategories added in the admin area don’t appear on the front end. This leaves category pages looking incomplete and provides a poor user experience.
Perfect for Directorist, GeoDirectory, and Business Directory Plugin users who want professional category pages without expensive premium subscriptions.
<h4>Why Category Pages Matter</h4>
