What’s new in Directorist - BuddyPress Integration 2.0
Version 2.0 · Aug 24, 2025

What it does
A directory site usually keeps listings and people apart. Visitors browse entries, but there is little room for members to talk, follow each other or form communities around shared interests. This plugin closes that gap by tying Directorist listings to BuddyPress member profiles. When a member adds listings, they can appear on that member's BuddyPress profile next to their social information, giving each person a single place that shows both who they are and what they list.
It fits business directories, local listings sites and niche communities that already run Directorist and want BuddyPress social tools on top. Profile layouts can be customized to show listing details alongside social data, and access controls let you decide who can view, add or interact with listings and profiles. BuddyPress groups can host smaller communities inside the directory, and members can connect with each other based on listings, locations or interests. The plugin requires Directorist, and the design is mobile friendly.
Best for
