Directory Theme — Features

The Directory Theme is the PremiumPress core itself, not a variant of it. Every other product is this theme plus a fork of extra classes; the Directory Theme is what they all start from, so it has no fork-specific classes of its own.

That means its behaviour is documented entirely under Shared platform — listings, members, checkout, payments, credits, memberships, designs and the rest — and under Admin screens.
