Cuisine is another child theme for Directory. It’s the first child theme to alter the functionality as well as the design. It’s nothing major, but enough to transform the good ol’ Directory theme into a powerful WordPress restaurant directory. Is this your first time hearing about the parent Directory theme? Click here to learn more. With Cuisine, Directory is seeing probably the biggest makeover so far. Unlike clean and simple designs available with the parent theme, everything in Cuisine is curvy, stylish and in tune with what most restaurants-related websites look like. If you happen to be a fan of the standard slider-on-top approach, you can easily rearrange the elements to suit your needs. Just like the parent Directory theme, the homepage in Cuisine is entirely widgetized. Cuisine comes with a fully responsive design. To see it in action visit the demo site with your phone or just resize the browser window on your computer. In terms of new functionality, it’s all about the new default custom fields. In order to make the directory seem more authentic, we’ve added new custom fields such as Price Range, Waiter Service, Suitable for Children, Parking, Wi-Fi and more. Because of these fields, the focus of listing detail pages was changed as well. Instead of showing the description first, detail pages will first show the custom fields related to the listing and make the description available as a separate tab. Unlike the parent theme which displays the map inside a tab, Cuisine shows a small map no matter which tab is currently active. Share your work and get a free plugin For the last few weeks every Directory owner can get a free add-on of their choice by sharing either their translations or a city CSV file.
