Common questions.
Can this profile run beside another active profile?
No. One profile is active for each WordPress installation so its data model and public experience remain consistent.
Can users submit from the front end?
Yes. Free includes unlimited basic submissions, previews, editing, listing management and moderation.
Who owns the data?
Listing data stays in your self-hosted WordPress environment. Optional providers keep their own terms and data handling.
