Overview
DirectoryCustomize — Widgets
Drop-in widgets that snap into your directory and add features instantly. Browse the full catalog below.
What's in this tier
Each widget below is a self-contained feature you can install into your directory — most need nothing more than a couple of toggles in the DirectoryCustomize plugin to go live. Click any card to open its help article.
The catalog is split into two groups:
- Feature widgets — single-purpose tools that add a specific behavior (verified-badge display, email-reveal button, online status, visibility gating, etc.)
- Layout widgets — full layout replacements for BD's stock post-type search result pages (events, jobs, listings, etc.) — each one re-styles a specific post-type result page
Feature widgets
