We are thrilled to announce the latest release of J-BusinessDirectory, version 5.8.10! This release brings a host of exciting new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance your business directory experience.

New Features:

• Subscription Management: Introducing a dedicated subscription section under the order section. Now you can effortlessly manage your subscriptions, ensuring streamlined control and easy tracking of subscription details.
• Introducing Package Filtering: With the new package filter, users can now refine their search results based on specific packages. This feature enables businesses to offer more targeted and customized search options to their users, improving the overall search experience.
• Multilingual Website URLs: We understand the importance of providing localized content, and that's why we've added support for multiple language website URLs. Now businesses can easily display their website information in various languages, ensuring seamless access for users around the globe.
• Tiktok Integration: As social media continues to evolve, we've added Tiktok as a social network option for business listings. Businesses can now showcase their Tiktok profiles directly on their listings, allowing them to connect with a wider audience and stay up-to-date with the latest social media trends.

Improvements:

• Enhanced Mobile Experience: We've introduced a language selector for custom menus in the mobile app, giving users the ability to choose their preferred language for a personalized browsing experience on the go. We believe in providing a seamless and user-friendly interface across all devices.
• Protect Your Langauge Customizations: To ensure that your customizations remain intact during updates, we've disabled the edit of main language files. Any overrides can now be safely added to the custom area, preserving your modifications and preventing any unintended changes.
• Improved SEO: We've updated the microdata type to LocalBusiness on the listings module, which enhances the search engine optimization (SEO) capabilities of your business directory. This update helps search engines understand and index your listings more effectively, boosting your visibility online.

Bug Fixes:

• Language Identifier Cleanup: We've resolved the issue of duplicate language identifiers in language files, ensuring smooth language functionality without any conflicts. This fix ensures accurate language representation across your business directory.
• Streamlined Event Management: We've connected event type settings with the list view on the admin interface, providing a seamless event management experience. Now you can easily configure and manage events, ensuring consistency in event display and effortless event administration.
• Enhanced User Experience: We've addressed various bugs related to module positions on search results, pagination issues, and subscription states. These fixes enhance the overall user experience and ensure smooth navigation and functionality within your business directory.
