Using ListingHive for Directory Website

I’m currently building a directory website of all tech founders in the USA using your ListingHive template, and I have a few questions about optimizing my setup. Here’s a brief overview of my use case:, please give me css code for all issues:

I’m using vendors to fill in the details of individual founders, which then display on the main homepage as small boxes.

My Questions:

  1. Vendors vs. Listings:
  • For my use case, which option would you recommend: vendors or listings?
  • I’m currently using vendors, but since I’m just starting, would it be better to switch to listings now?
  • Are there any limitations to vendors compared to listings that I should be aware of?
  1. Adding Favorites:
  • I’ve installed the HiveFavorites plugin but cannot find an option to add favourites to the vendor profiles.
  • Could you guide me on how to enable or configure this feature?
  1. Header Image Issue:
  • My header image has a bright color that matches my website theme, but it appears to have a filter or overlay that makes it look darker…only at the header section…see attached image, i have highlighted in black box where the colour difference is.

  • Is there a way to remove this filter so the image displays in its original brightness?

  1. Carousel for Header Images:
  • I’d like to implement a moving carousel at the header section where all images continuously scroll.
  • Is there a way to achieve this using ListingHive, or would you recommend a specific plugin or workaround?
  1. I have successfully removed the Filter button/function in sidebar by adding CSS, and it works perfectly when accessing the website on a laptop. However, when I view the site on a mobile device, the filter is still visible. Could you guide me on how to remove the filter for mobile devices as well? This is the code I have used in
    css:
    .hp-template–vendors-view-page .hp-page__sidebar {
    display:none;
    }

  2. How can I remove this sign In from above header as I will be the one entering all the vendors i don’t want any logins from users.

Namaste Gaurav !

Hello Cotasson Namaste,

I have gone through all the vidoes and couldnt find answers to specific questions I have asked. I also went through the forum. Kindly request you to help me with the answers. Thank You!

Hello.

I am just a normal user here, not part of the official support.

My takes :
It’s best to stick the listings architecture. As you have seen the favorites does not apply to vendors, but to listings. Same goes for geolocation, and so on.
I am just like you and would like my marketplace to be vendor-centric instead, but that’s the way it has been designed.

Regarding your CSS problem, it’s hard to help you if your site is not public.

If you have a problem with the mobile view, then you have to debug in the mobile view : it’s a different menu. You may need to apply media queries.

If you don’t want to show the sign-in button, this css snippet did the trick for me :

li.menu-item.menu-item--last.menu-item--user-login {
    display: none;
}

Once again, in mobile view, you probably need to investigate further.

Cheers.

Hi,

  1. Please note that the vendor is the same regular user, but only with the additional feature of publishing listings. If, for example, you add listings yourself through the admin panel (i.e., vendors do not register on your site), you can simply use listings.

  2. You should have this icon available after you have installed and activated the Favorites extension: Awesome Screenshot

  3. Please check the solution in this topic: How to disable the default darkening effect for header images? - #2

  4. Please check this similar topic: How to implement sliders/carousel in ListingHive - #4 by andrii

  5. Please check this topic: I would like to hide the filter on the listing

  6. Please navigate to HivePress > Settings > and disable the Allow user registration feature.

​I hope this is helpful to you.
