Description

Smooth Directory is a simple way to add a business directory to a WordPress site. The public view of the directory is a simple, responsive two-column view, while the WP admin is extremely easy to use.

The plugin is ready to start using right out of the box by navigating to /businesses and is easily extendable by developers by overwriting the two public facing templates and styles.

The directory comes with built-in pagination, category filtering and alphabet filtering.

There are quite a few WordPress directory plugins, but if you’re looking for a responsive, easy to get going (and easy for clients to manage) business directory plugin, Smooth Directory will work great for you!

FAQ

How can I modify the templates?

There are two templates that you can overwrite: archive-businesses.php (the main directory template) and taxonomy-business_category.php (the template shown when a category is selected). The best way to do this is to copy those two files from the plugin (located at smooth-directory/public/) to the root directory in your theme and then modifying them from there.

Can I have multiple directories?

No. Currently, only one directory with the slug businesses is supported.

Small Issues

November 11, 2016
I’ve reached out to the author via email, but have heard nothing back. I’d like to offer my services to get the bugs worked out in this plugin. All I ask is the author rolls the updates into the WordPress.org version of the plugin so future updates are intact.
