I was browsing around for wordpress and I stumble across this great WordPress Directory plugin. If you intend to have a directory and do not have the money to buy a php directory scripts like PhpMyDirectory or PhpLinkDirectory, you can give this a try because it is simply free.
WordPress is always a great CMS to me, because I am comfortable editing its code and its theme. On top of that, because it is a a wordpress directory plugin, you could take advantage of WordPress’s permalink that is always my preferred method because of its search engine friendlyness. Not to mention you could use other great features like trackbacks, ping feed aggregator, have rss feeds easily, widgets friendly panel and much more.
Currently Directory Press has 11 different themes on their website and it looks pretty professional.
I have yet to use them but will definitely give it a try once I know what directory I am going to make. Not to forget that you could also use this as a paid directory, link bid directory and it does have dmoz importing function.
I know what should I do with it. Thanks.
ehm. i think it good. I can try for my others project.
it is free for you to try it out
thanks for the info… useful enough
I have PhpMyDirectory and I wholly recommend it over PhpLinkDirectory or the free one
First of all this is not a plugin, it is a theme, with multiple colored themes. Second, it is not FREE. It has many features I like, however, I tried contacting their customer support about some questions I had about the theme. I had a huge amount of problems just communicating with the US based office. On top of all that when I tried contacting them through their support system. I was answered in this fashion: “Sorry for the inconvenience, but we only have email and chat support for sales & billing questions. Have a good day” So it seems as if they don’t want to make sells so I am now looking for a better customer service based theme or plugin for a directory inside of a WordPress blog.
Just my two cents.
