No. GeoBuddy requires the GeoDirectory plugin to function. ### Is this plugin lightweight? Yes. GeoBuddy is optimized for performance and follows WordPress development standards. ### Are addons included in the main plugin? Some features are included, while advanced functionality is available via separate addons. ### Is it developer-friendly? Yes. Developers can extend and customize functionality using WordPress hooks and filters. ### What is the Site Templates feature? The Site Templates tab lets you import pre-built GeoDirectory demo sites directly from your WordPress admin. It handles everything — theme, plugins, pages, GeoDirectory data, and menus — in a single guided import flow. ### Do I need a license to use templates? Free templates are available to everyone. Premium templates require an active GeoBuddy Bundle Membership license, which you can enter directly in the Templates tab. ### Will importing a template overwrite my existing site? Only if you choose **Full Reset** mode. The default **Additive** mode adds the template content alongside your existing site. Full Reset permanently removes all existing posts, pages, and media — always back up before using it. ### What page builders are supported for templates?
