Overview
Directory Pro helps turn a WordPress site into a directory or listing platform for businesses, services, deals, or events. Users can submit and edit listings from the frontend, and site owners can add custom listing fields, set listings to publish or pending approval, and control read and write access by user role. The plugin also includes account dashboards where users can manage listings, favorites, payment history, subscriptions, privacy settings, and passwords.
The plugin supports free and paid memberships, trials, recurring subscriptions, and variable payment packages through PayPal and Stripe. Site owners can also use coupons and deals, booking shortcodes, event management, and bidding features to support different listing models. Directory Pro has a responsive design, touch slider, and category maps and markers. It is compatible with Visual Composer and supports multilingual sites through WPML.
