<ul>
<li>Structured Code – We follow the WordPress coding standards, so the codebase is well-structured and readable.</li>
<li>Easy Theming – Styling and overriding layouts is very intuitive due to block-based templates and BEM CSS notation.</li>
<li>Hooks API – A collection of actions and filters for customizing or extending the core HivePress functionality.</li>
<li>REST API – There’s an API endpoint for every action, so you can integrate HivePress with third-party platforms.</li>
<li>Docs & Snippets – Never get stuck with our collection of ready-made code snippets, API references, and docs.</li>
</ul>

HivePress – Business Directory & Classified Ads Plugin


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!


Lightweight, fast, easily customizable, active support forum
