Display the directory

To embed the directory into a specific page, type in [uw_directory] on the page you want to display it on.

Depending on the use case/builder needs, there are two options to display the directory:

  1. On a separate page that only contains the directory.
  2. Within a page that has other content as well.

** Note: Any content under the [uw_directory] shortcode will not appear, so make sure that the directory is the last part of the page.
