Here’s What Users Say about Directorist – WordPress Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings

👨 Simply the BEST directory plugin

10 stars – no joke.
I tried several plugins, including paid ones on that canyon costing over 60 bucks, they did not satisfy at all. Directorist is super customizable, the devs are really helpful and the prices or their extensions are very reasonable. Would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a directory plugin. Even without paid upgrades, it’s a true beast!

Directorist is definitely a great plugin for the sites I use it on. Not only does it work as intended but they even went as far as to create custom code for me to make a few minor changes to how it shows. Seriously above and beyond most plugin companies. I highly recommend them!

onemco November 28, 2023 1 reply

I recently integrated this directory plugin into my WordPress site and I'm thoroughly impressed. The installation process was smooth and user-friendly, even for someone with limited technical expertise. The plugin offers a sleek, intuitive interface that made it simple to organize and manage listings.

This plugin is the most customizable listing plugin I have used. Asides the many options you have, the customer service also help in adding features that are not currently available for your unique situation.

cruasan November 24, 2023

He probado varios plugins de directorios y he de decir que Directorist es el más completo y fácil de configurar. A pesar de ello necesitaba una utilidad concreta, me puse en contacto con soporte y en pocas horas me ofrecieron una solución. Recomendable 100%. I tried several directory plugins and decided that Directorist is the most complete and easy to configure. Even though it needed a concrete utility, they put me in touch with support and within a few hours they offered me a solution. Recommended 100%.

EDIT: I have updated my rating based on the resolution of the most recent support ticket being resolved. My original review as follows: If you are considering upgrading to get Pro support, don't. There is no Pro support. You will spend hours explaining and re-explaining issues. Support do not read support requests or properly assess screen casts. You will spend a LOT of time waiting for a reply to your support ticket. When the reply does come, the quality of the reply is lacking. There will be a back an forth with days taken to reply to threads. Issues will remain unresolved for months while the ticket is 'referred to the technical team to fix'. You will then waste weeks migrating to another platform you should have used in the first place. I will happily change my rating should the support improve and plugin issues are fixed.
