This plugin comes with all the essential features for building a directory website to allow users easily add, manage and search listings:

Moreover, if you ever need to customize any of the HivePress page templates or email notifications, you can do this without coding skills using the familiar WordPress editor.
Monetization Options
With HivePress, you can create a business, not just a website. There are at least a few ways to monetize your directory, for example:
- Paid Listings – Charge users for adding listings.
- Featured Listings – Charge users for advertising listings.
- Claim Listings – Charge companies for claiming their listings.
Free & Premium Extensions
Enhance your website functionality with just a few clicks using HivePress extensions. While you can build a fully functional directory using free extensions only, premium extensions may also be useful depending on your website requirements.
Niche-Specific Themes
HivePress comes with a free ListingHive theme that is fully compatible with HivePress and its official extensions. Also, there are a few premium themes with more tailored design and functionality for various directory and marketplace niches.
Developer Features
If you have at least basic coding skills, then look no further because HivePress is powered by a highly customizable and extensible framework for directory websites:
- Structured Code – We follow the WordPress coding standards, so the codebase is well-structured and readable.
- Easy Theming – Styling and overriding layouts is very intuitive due to block-based templates and BEM CSS notation.
- Hooks API – A collection of actions and filters for customizing or extending the core HivePress functionality.
- REST API – There’s an API endpoint for every action, so you can integrate HivePress with third-party platforms.
- Docs & Snippets – Never get stuck with our collection of ready-made code snippets, API references, and docs.

Not a plugin, an ecosystem and a great community

After testing out several plugins to set up a marketplace, I decided to go for HivePress.
It's been like 3 months ago now.
It's rock-solid and extendable. Sure, you may spend some time customizing it for your special use case, but the community forum (and the support team) is also here to help you.

Greate support and plugin
By 
I've been using the HivePress plugin and their support has been great. The plugin itself is easy to use for building directory-based websites. When I ran into issues, their support team was quick to respond and provided clear guidance, making it easier to resolve problems. The resources, like documentation and guides, are also very helpful for troubleshooting on my own. Overall, I'm really satisfied with how HivePress supports its users.
Lightweight, fast, easily customizable, active support forum
By 
Lots of good things to say about this theme and the team behind it. They have a wonderful support forum that is very active and responds quickly. If their support doesn't have an answer to something that is more customizable (like custom code), often other members do. I have enjoyed it so much that I am using it on a second website now. Kudos!
