What’s new in Directorist - Directory Linking 2.2
Version 2.2 · Aug 24, 2025

What it does
Directory sites often hold hundreds of listings that sit on their own pages with no path to similar entries. A visitor who lands on one business or service has to go back to search to find anything related. This add-on addresses that by creating links between listings, so each entry points to others that share something in common. It works inside an existing Directorist setup and requires the Directorist plugin to run.
You decide how listings connect by setting linking rules that match the needs of your directory. The plugin can then interlink listings automatically, which saves you from adding every connection by hand. An interface lets you manage and review which listings are linked, and display options let you choose how linked listings appear on the page. The result is a clearer internal linking structure across the directory.
Best for
- Directory websites built on the Directorist plugin
- Business or service directories with many related listings
- Site owners who want listings to point to similar entries
