Just when you thought Vantage had all the features that a great WordPress directory theme needed…here comes another great release with two of the most coveted features:
- Recurring Payments Support
- Faster and More Powerful Search
Recurring Payments
Now you, as the site owner, have 3 options for your pricing plans:
- Recurring Optional
- A plan that offers a recurring option, the user will be allowed to choose whether they want the plan to recur, or just expire at the end of it’s term.
- Forced Recurring
- A plan that recurs, but does not offer the user the option.
- Non Recurring
- A plan that just lets the listing expire after the plan’s set time period. This works like pricing plans always have before.

With these new recurring options, you can setup your pricing plans to suit your varying needs, and now your customers will greatly appreciate the convenience that the recurring functionality provides.
More Powerful Search
Search just got a boost! Now, your searches will complete faster time than ever before and will now be even more thorough! Now, when a user searches for a search term, that term will be searched across the following fields:
Searches for Listings:
- Title
- Now, If your Listing title includes an apostrophe, like for example “Joe’s Pizza”, a search for either “Joes Pizza” or “Joe’s Pizza” will return the correct result!
- Description
- Categories
- Tags
- Address
- Website URL
- Phone Number
- & All Custom Form Values!
Searches for Events:
- Title
- Now, If your Event title includes an apostrophe, like for example “Macy’s Parade”, a search for either “Macys Parade” or “Macy’s Parade” will return the correct result!
- Description
- Categories
- Tags
- Event Address
- Event Website URL
- Phone Number
- Event Location Address
- Event Location URL
- & All Custom Form Values!
