<p>The <strong>Better Social Field for Directorist</strong> improves the default social media field experience in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/directorist/" rel="ugc">Directorist</a> directory plugin.</p>
<p>By default, Directorist’s social media field uses a dropdown + repeater structure that:<br />
– Sends an unnecessary AJAX request for every new icon added.<br />
– Shows all social networks, even those irrelevant to your directory niche.<br />
– Allows duplicate social entries (e.g., multiple Facebook links).<br />
– Creates a slow and confusing user experience for listing owners.</p>
<p>This plugin fixes all of that!</p>
<h4>🚀 Key Improvements:</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>No AJAX overhead:</strong> Adds multiple social icons instantly, client-side only.  </li>
<li><strong>Cleaner UX:</strong> Direct inline editing — no need for repetitive clicks.  </li>
<li><strong>Prevent duplicates:</strong> Each social network can only be added once.  </li>
<li><strong>Smart filtering:</strong> Define which social networks your directory uses.  </li>
<li><strong>Lightweight:</strong> No bloat, no dependencies — just improved logic and UI.</li>
</ul>
<p>Perfect for any directory site that wants faster, more intuitive listing forms.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Instant field rendering without AJAX requests.</li>
<li>Choose which social platforms to display (filter out unused ones).</li>
<li>Prevent adding the same social platform twice.</li>
<li>Sleek and minimal UI that fits natively into the Directorist design.</li>
<li>Compatible with all modern browsers.</li>
<li>Works seamlessly with the latest Directorist version.</li>
</ul>
