To get started, open your directory on the frontend of your site.

Each directory includes two primary editable content regions:

If your directory uses the Category View, you’ll also see editable regions beneath each alphabet section. These areas can display category-specific notes, images, or highlights.

You can customize the header, sub-header and intro text on a filtered directory page to read different than the main directory page.

To start, you'll want to be sure first that in your directory setup, you select under the Filter for Directory Categories the filter you will use to create unique landing pages within your directory. Also be sure to check this same filter as active under Filters.

For example, to customize the header for each pre-filtered directory page based on specific Areas of Expertise:

Next, from the frontend view of your directory, filter to the desired member segment using the same filter as selected for Filter for Directory Categories. On each filtered page, you can update the header, sub-header and text to be unique to that directory page!

A quick way to be sure your changes will be unique to that page, the Admin Alert on the page will provide a message that changes to the page will apply only to the selected category.

After updating the header on the page (don't forget to save your changes!), when you click Clear Filters, it will return to the main directory page and default heading and intro content.

Content on the main directory page will be considered the default content settings and apply to all pages in the directory that are not already customized.

Note: If you remove or rename a custom field set of options that is being used as a Member Directory Filter, you will need to update custom content on these unique directory pages, as well.

Looking to add some non-dues revenue? Take advantage of these unique content regions! If looking for somewhere to place ad images on the site, your members can enjoy prime placement in front of their target audience. Note that images in these sections may need a quick bit of responsive code added to them.
