<p>This plugin comes with all the essential features for building a directory website to allow users easily add, manage and search listings:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Listing Categories</strong> – Add categories for different listing types.</li>

<p>Crucial features like <strong>user registration</strong>, <strong>listing moderation</strong>, and <strong>captcha protection</strong> are also available by default.</p>
<p>Moreover, if you ever need to customize any of the HivePress <strong>page templates</strong> or <strong>email notifications</strong>, you can do this without coding skills using the familiar WordPress editor.</p>
<h4>Monetization Options</h4>
<p>With HivePress, you can create a business, not just a website. There are at least a few ways to monetize your directory, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Paid Listings</strong> – Charge users for adding listings.</li>
<li><strong>Featured Listings</strong> – Charge users for advertising listings.</li>
<li><strong>Claim Listings</strong> – Charge companies for claiming their listings.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free & Premium Extensions</h4>
<p>Enhance your website functionality with just a few clicks using HivePress extensions. While you can build a fully functional directory using free extensions only, <a href="https://hivepress.io/extensions/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">premium extensions</a> may also be useful depending on your website requirements.</p>
<h4>Niche-Specific Themes</h4>
<p>HivePress comes with a free <a href="https://hivepress.io/themes/listinghive/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">ListingHive</a> theme that is fully compatible with HivePress and its official extensions. Also, there are a few <a href="https://hivepress.io/themes/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">premium themes</a> with more tailored design and functionality for various directory and marketplace niches.</p>
<h4>Developer Features</h4>
<p>If you have at least basic coding skills, then look no further because HivePress is powered by a highly customizable and extensible <a href="https://docs.hivepress.io/developer-docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">framework</a> for directory websites:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Structured Code</strong> – We follow the WordPress coding standards, so the codebase is well-structured and readable.</li>
<li><strong>Easy Theming</strong> – Styling and overriding layouts is very intuitive due to block-based templates and BEM CSS notation.</li>
<li><strong>Hooks API</strong> – A collection of actions and filters for customizing or extending the core HivePress functionality.</li>
<li><strong>REST API</strong> – There’s an API endpoint for every action, so you can integrate HivePress with third-party platforms.</li>
<li><strong>Docs & Snippets</strong> – Never get stuck with our collection of ready-made code snippets, API references, and docs.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Support & Community</h4>
<p>HivePress is directly supported by its developers, people who know the plugin inside and out, so any issues are resolved in the optimal way possible. Join the <a href="https://community.hivepress.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">community</a> to report a bug, suggest a feature, or vote for suggestions to help us make HivePress better!</p>


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
