It is a pleasure to announce that J-BusinessDirectory extension, version 5.2.0 Beta is now live. With each major release, we are trying to get closer and closer to perfection. In this version, we have added some new useful features and applied multiple improvements to the existing functionality.

Let's take a tour and see the new features and improvements that have been implemented.



New Business Campaigns (JBD Campaigns)

The new ad campaign system creates a new monetizing possibility for site owners and offers the possibility for the business owners to advertise their own listing in different sections of the website.

 A new modern design has been applied to all admin tables.


New Announcements Section 

It is now easier for business owners to spread the news to their customers with the new announcement system.
