Where it is

Mobile App Manager → Business Directory. The page has six tabs. Every save requires the manage_options capability and a valid nonce, and only writes a fixed set of known options — nothing else is persisted.

Settings tab

General app behavior:

• Hide photo scroller on detail screen? (bd-hide-photo-array)
• Social links use icons only? (mam_bd_social_icons_only)
• Exclude authors and staff from In App Purchases? (bd-no-iap-for-author-staff)
• Radius distance (Miles) (mam_bd_standard_radius_override) — overrides the default search/offer radius.
• Login screen snackbar message for invited users (bd-invited-user-snackbar-message).

Listing tab

Permissions and the add/edit form for the single Business Directory listing type:

• User can add a listing on the app? (bd-user-can-add-on-app)
• Author can edit their listing on the app? (bd-author-can-edit-on-app)
• Admin can edit every listing? (bd-admin-can-edit-all-listings)
• Allow only one category per listing? (mam_bd_one_cat_only)
• Add new listings in Draft (pending) mode? (bd-add-in-draft) — when Yes, non-admin submissions and edits re-enter moderation.
• Editor can delete a listing? (mam_bd_editor_can_delete)
• Default category for new listings (mam_bd_category_for_new) — a term from the wpbdp_category taxonomy.
• Add/Edit listing form instructions (mam_bd_instructions).

Field mapping (bd-field overrides)

Business Directory listings are auto-mapped to the app’s structured fields (street, city, state, ZIP, phone, website, email, hours, contact name) by matching field names. Override a slot here only when the automatic match is wrong. “Select…” leaves auto-detection in place and stores 0.

Each override is stored as bd-field-{slot} = the wpbdp form field id. The dropdowns list the site’s meta-association form fields.

Tip: Business Directory ships a single free-form Address box. For the cleanest app map, filters, and city labels, add plain City and State form fields (Directory → Form Fields) and map them here. If you skip that, the app falls back to city/region derived by the geocoder (_mam_bd_city / _mam_bd_region).

Claim Listing tab

• Checkout mode (mam_bd_claim_checkout_mode) — Stripe or In App Purchase. A warning shows if IAP is chosen but the MAM In-App Purchase Manager plugin is not active.
• Claim CTA text (mam_bd_claim_cta) and Claim features (one per line) (mam_bd_claim_features).
• Claim Screen Appearance — background image (mam_bd_claim_bg_image) and seven colors (mam_bd_claim_bg_color, ..._cta_color, ..._card_bg_color, ..._card_text_color, ..._price_color, ..._button_color, ..._button_text_color).
• Checkout Screen (Stripe) — four colors (mam_bd_checkout_back_color, ..._text_color, ..._button_color, ..._button_text_color).

These values are read by the claim-listing manager and injected into the app’s claim/checkout screens.

Notifications tab

Controls which audiences the Send Notification form offers and the labels users see:

• Owners/managers can send push notifications from the app? (bd-owner-can-send-pns-on-app)
• Audience toggles: favorited users (bd-send-notification-to-favourited-users), users in the area (bd-send-notification-to-users-in-area), all users (bd-send-notification-to-all-users).
• Audience labels: bd-send-notification-to-all-favorited-users, bd-send-notification-to-all-nearby-users.

Roles tab

• Role for new staff members (mam_bd_new_staff_member_role).
• Display names for the Listing Manager (mam_manager_role_name), Listing Staff (mam_staff_role_name), and Subscriber (mam_subscriber_role_name) roles. These are shared MAM role-name options consumed across the suite.

Claim Invites tab

Hosts the bulk claim-invite tool. See Recipe: Bulk-invite venue owners to claim.
