    Plugin #9 (Social Event Registry) was never released. Click the #9 link on this page and that’s what it says.

  4. Hello Skyje!

    Thank you for your useful article!
    I plan to build a web directory site that can integrate websites thumbnails and was wondering if you Skyje or anyone reading this page would have some ideas to help me in my search…

    Thanks again and keep up the good work!

    Interested to know if anyone here has used PHPMyDirectory and how it rates against these directories? I use PHPMyDirectory and WordPress but am getting tired of duplicating changes in both platforms… I’m looking for a directory script that matches what I get in PHPMyAdmin to hoepfully drop it and use wordpress 100%…

  8. thanks buddy… going to build a new directory … it will be very helpful me..

  9. I am using the wp business directory manager plugin, and it is amazing! The only issue it has is when you have other plugins installed, they seem to battle against each-other and cause some errors. Anyone else have similar issues?

  10. Any demo by using all of these plugin? I want to make one free website directory, and looking for a free plugin too :).

    One video will be very helpful…thanks.

  11. most of all plugins rated 2 or 3 stars only :(

  12. i´ve tested most of them but no one seems to work for me fine :-(
    One good solution I´ve found is located at wplinkdir.com but this plugin is still in progress, though it is released as stable.
    Hmm so I am just waiting!

  13. If to be honest – none of them are like… wow!!

    looks like that paid wp directory themes are the ones to go for (will notadvertisethem here)

    thank You for sharing

  14. I was looking for a versatile directory like mosetree for joomla but I haven’t seen any for wordpress yet. If you guys know any, please give me some pointers.

  15. Brian says:

    I agree, I didn’t find anything that I found quite sufficient just yet. I will wait for now and likely end up paying for a business directory in time

  16. Hi guys. I am using edirectory, which is really good, but very heavy to maintain or customize. I would love to find something professional for wordpress, even paid one. those listed here are no good to me. but thank you for the info

  17. Thanks for the plugins mate.

    Good job finding them.

    I wonder if there are any new ones out that you can recommend.

    Cheers.

  18. I agree, I didn’t find anything that I found GOOD just yet. I will wait for now.

    Thanks for the list. I have a domain I’m setting up a directory on and I’m trying to decide to use WordPress or not. This has been a big help.

  20. Thanks for this list, there were a couple of plugins I have never heard of and I thought they were only available at a cost. Good work and great selection, thank you.

    Does someone know a wordpress plugin that can create a wordpress local store directory (like yellow pages) where each store (post) have complete details like store name, what they sell/description, address, phone, homepage links (optional) and if possible google maps integration and store picture?

    I really need this kind of plugin for my new project.

  22. Frugal says:

    I am looking for a good plugin to run a personal finance “network” with wordpress. This list looks like a good place to start. Kudos.

  23. I like your list of directory plugins. How about WordPress directory plugins with payment method?

  24. We are also looking for a Directory lising system like Mosets tree for Joomla. The one we tried was so full of bugs we have to remove it.

    any suggestions people?
    I have two clients in need of it at the moment.
