    When creating a new listing or editing one, has anyone tried to add an image to the listing description field.

    Its about as unfriendly for a new user as it gets, even I have trouble using it as an experienced Wordpress developer - surely a better technique can be used to do this?

    The prime objective of the listing description field is to write the description of the business. For adding the images we have given an Upload Image button, where the business can add images of their own, which will be shown on the listings page in the form of Slider.
    Either way, If you wish to add image to the description field you need to put the URL of the image, the media library section through which the uploading is done for the listing description can't be entirely moved to the frontend. However, you can do it easily from the backend WordPress dashboard.

    I think this problem could easily be solved if theme developers integrated Wordpress plugin- Black Tiny Mice into the category text area. It would would give users the same formatting options as in the website manager business listing area.

    I agree with Nitesh. Free accounts should be limited to 1 image anyway. We don't want to make it too easy for them to add as many images as they want to add.
