Privacy
LAPDI Chapters stores chapter-directory information entered by site administrators, including chapter names, leader names and photos, dates, addresses, and destination URLs. Leader photos are stored as WordPress Media Library attachments. Published Active and Coming Soon records expose their configured public directory fields through the finder and REST API. The plugin does not set visitor cookies, track visitors, send data to external services, or associate chapter records with WordPress user accounts or email addresses.
Administrators can edit or delete chapter records. Deactivation preserves data. Uninstall also preserves data unless an administrator explicitly enables destructive uninstall under Chapter Settings first.
Installation
- Upload the
lapdi-chaptersdirectory to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate LAPDI Chapters under Plugins.
- Add real records under Chapters.
- Create a page containing
[lapdi_chapter_finder]. - Configure the Chapter Leader Title and optional empty-state actions under Chapters > Settings.
