-
Can I translate Directory in my language?
Yes, you can. We’ve provided a language .po file for translating the theme.
-
Do you provide hosting for Directory?
No, we don’t. Instead we suggest you look into Bluehost. Several of our customers reported very good experiences with them.
-
Are there any hosting companies to avoid?
We recommend avoid using the Directory theme on GoDaddy servers. This is especially true for their shared hosting packages since they are severely under-powered for large/complex sites. They might work ok in the beginning, but as visitors start coming to your site and more content is added the server will start causing troubles.
- What are minimum server requirements to run Directory? You’ll need:
- 1. WordPress 6.0 or newer
- 2. PHP 7 or newer
- 3. MySQL 8.0 or newer
- 4. cURL library support with SSL (compiled into to PHP)
- 5. GD 2 library support
- 6. Support for session variables*
* – the most notable WordPress host that doesn’t support session variables is WPEngine. On WPEngine servers you won’t be able to use the multi-city functionality.
