Business Directory Plugin (BDP) by Drew Jaynes stores listings as the wpbdp_listing custom post type with form fields configured through the plugin's field manager. Each listing carries the business name, category taxonomy, custom fields like phone, website, address, hours, and pricing, plus a fee plan that controls whether the listing is featured or standard. The default OG image is the site logo, identical for every listing, which means the locksmith, the music school, and the food truck all share the same thumbnail.

SleekPixel reads the BDP listing record, the configured form fields, and the fee plan, then composites them into a per-listing card: business name as the headline, primary category as a tag, contact fields in a compact row, and a Featured badge for paid plans. Listings on free plans get a clean standard treatment, while featured listings show an accent color and the badge so the value of the paid tier is visible at share time, not only on the detail page.

For directories with strict moderation, pending and approved states each have their own card state, and on approval the social card refreshes automatically.

BDP is built around the directory operator setting up form fields once and then accepting hundreds or thousands of submissions. The strength of that model is also its weakness in social: every submission ends up with the same default OG image, so a directory that has invested heavily in fee plans and category structure shows none of that in shares. SleekPixel reads the form-field record and the fee plan, then renders the card to match.

Featured listings stand out the way the operator priced them to. Free listings still look professional but without the badge that paid plans earn. Custom fields specific to the directory's niche, whether hours of operation, a service area, or a license number, appear on the card as small signals that the listing has been filled in carefully.

None of this changes the submission workflow for the listing owner or the moderator, and none of it requires a separate image pipeline. The single template handles every listing in the directory.
