What it does
Running a directory means handling many listings that do not all look alike. A restaurant needs opening hours and reviews, while a property listing needs different details. This theme handles that with unlimited listing categories, and each category can have its own features and layout. You can also add as many custom listing features as you need, so every entry carries the information visitors look for. Settings live in an option panel and admin interface that work without coding.
Visitors find listings through advanced search filters and integrated Google Maps, then browse results in grid or list layouts before opening a single listing page. They can rate, like or unlike listings and leave reviews. Businesses can show working hours and take bookings right from their listing. For earning from the site, there are payment gateways and membership packages, plus WooCommerce compatibility. WPML support lets you run the directory in more than one language, and the design is responsive and retina ready.
