The Better Social Field for Directorist improves the default social media field experience in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/directorist/" rel="ugc">Directorist</a> directory plugin.
By default, Directorist’s social media field uses a dropdown + repeater structure that: 
– Sends an unnecessary AJAX request for every new icon added. 
– Shows all social networks, even those irrelevant to your directory niche. 
– Allows duplicate social entries (e.g., multiple Facebook links). 
– Creates a slow and confusing user experience for listing owners.
This plugin fixes all of that!
<h4>🚀 Key Improvements:</h4>
<ul>
<li>No AJAX overhead: Adds multiple social icons instantly, client-side only. </li>
<li>Cleaner UX: Direct inline editing — no need for repetitive clicks. </li>
<li>Prevent duplicates: Each social network can only be added once. </li>
<li>Smart filtering: Define which social networks your directory uses. </li>
<li>Lightweight: No bloat, no dependencies — just improved logic and UI.</li>
</ul>
Perfect for any directory site that wants faster, more intuitive listing forms.
<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>
