Excellente plugin + themes
I had previously tried Directorist with the Director theme and was extremely pleased with what they offered. But when I learned they had specific themes for the businesses I was trying to address, I didn’t hesitate and contacted them. There’s really a lot of work behind these plugins and themes. The support is very good, and I hope to stay in touch with them for a long time. Regards from Argentina

Best plugin & Great support
I already knew in advance (after testing a few plugins) that this would be the best for listing. But there were country specific and beginner specific problems, so I asked them for help. I never dreamed that such a helpful team could exist. They were patient, always responded quickly and managed to find a solution to everything, resulting in a perfect website. In the end, I learned a lot from them. Thank you very much and I wish the Directorist team all the best.

Best directory Plugin

Best directory Plugin
Above and Beyond Support
By Kirstin (KIRSTINHALLETT) on September 24, 2025
My client needed this plugin for Directory functionality on their membership site that I built using DIVI. We recently had an issue with the pagination of the directory and Sohan and dev team spent ages fixing it for us. Their support was far above and beyond expectations. They stuck with it, even though I'm sure they had many other things they could have been spending their time on. Now my client is super happy and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this plugin and any other plugins by this dev.
Great Directory Plugin
By paulbrian on August 27, 2025
Simple to setup plugin but with many addon features available. Support have been very helpful and are quick to respond.
Support Très réactif !

Bon plugin, et excellent support !
An “OK” plugin
By Benito Benthin (vpdberlin) on August 11, 2025
This product appears technically modern in the backend, but rather mid-range on the outside. The shell (the front) is not technically up to date. It lacks basic features that have already been discussed in the Facebook group and submitted as feature suggestions. The idea behind this product is cool, but it doesn't exploit its full potential. There is another provider that Directorist can't hold a candle to (top class). Disadvantage: no lifetime warranty. The product page itself shows customer examples that were probably never completed, are faulty, or are partly dead. It mentions a high number of active customers, but none are really visible. I would also be an active customer, as I have installed the plugin, but I don't dare to publish a project in this state. I hope something happens, otherwise I've thrown my money out the window.
Excellent Plugin with Outstanding Support!
By midhula1111 on August 1, 2025
We've had a great experience using the Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin. It’s packed with powerful features for creating classified ads and directory listings, and the interface is clean, user-friendly, and easy to customize.
What truly stands out is their support team — they’re incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. We had a few custom requirements, and the team guided us step by step with clear instructions and genuine patience. Their support made a huge difference and helped us implement features exactly the way we wanted.
Highly recommended for anyone building a business directory or classified listing site!
Unusable
By kodon on July 31, 2025
After several months trying to build a directory with this plugin, I had to give up. Too many things just don’t work, making it unsuitable for a professional site. I’m surprised by the high ratings, but after reading the negative reviews, it makes sense, they ask users for 5-star reviews in exchange for support.

Very impressed so far! They even develop functionality for me!
By souris98 on July 2, 2025
I am a newby to WordPress, with the goal of recreating a Joomla site that is now outdated, and Directorist looked like a good solution. I have asked the support team a fair number of questions, and they have responded quickly and provided me with feedback and links to help my learning process of WordPress and how to use their application.
The thing that impressed me the most so far, was that I submitted a question to ask them if they had any way to import a large number of categories, and showed them a simple Joomla uploader. The next day, I received a response from Mahfuzul A., their Lead Support Engineer, and he informed me that he had spent a lot of hours and developed code and functionality to import multi-levels of categories and also images, this should be released soon, and I imagine that it will help a lot of people accelerate the time time to setup a directory. I've never received that kind of response from a software company, so I am very impressed.
