WP directory plugin/themes advice

Systreg · 19-01-2011, 01:29:00 PM

Has anyone got any links to WP directory themes or WP plugins that change a site in to to a directory? Had a look at available plugins via WP control panel, but not sure they are the same thing I need, they appear to just be for a 1 page directory within your WP site? Anything for a full blown directory site, any recommendations, don't mind paying for a good theme/plugin.

There is the Premium Press. Not used the directory but the Shopper theme is very good. Takes a bit of setting up but thats because it can do so much but once you are there it is great.

Hi Jim,

Just having a look at the admin panel demo on that theme, looks ok and has the option to set up free/paid/custom directory listings, which is something I would want on the site, can't see anything to enable changing the background colour/image of the site to another image, as the background is quite bland.

Changing the background etc is very easy Kev, if you go ahead give me a shout and I'll go through it with you.

Cheers mate, just found the section for changing from the default to various colour background/column themes, but would prefer something a bit more themed to the actual theme of the domain, so your help would be appreciated

I'll see if I get any further offers on the domain by tonight, if not, I'll buy this theme and get cracking.

Just bought that Premium Press directory theme, I found a money off code which was HAPPYNEWYEAR for an extra 25% off, so $59 instead of $79

As well as the photography site, I think I should be able to use this theme for penpals and narrowboats domains, I think they'll go alright on that theme.

Might invest in the Shopper Press and Classifieds Press themes as well if I like this one.

[edit]

By the way, that HAPPYNEWYEAR money off code above expires on expires on 31-01-2011 at midnight, Admin has his aff banner for it on his post here:

The BABYBOY code on that link has now expired so use the one above.

Set up a site at www.wedding-photographers.co.uk and been setting up geo area categories for bloody hours, now I just logged out and then had to log back in again to check something, but now I can't get to log back in to WP control panel

I tried the usual http://www.wedding-photographers.co.uk/wp-login.php url but that just takes me to a login page on the site like a normal site member login, not the usual WP control panel area that it takes me to on my other WP sites, and like it did on this site earlier, any ideas?

[edit]

If I go the main site url and click the "members" link, enter my username/password, it takes me to a page with this http://www.wedding-photographers.co.uk/wp-login.php url in the browser, but it's just a white page and reloading the page does nothing, ffs.

Did you fix this that last url you posted takes me to a customised login page

No, not fixed, still can't login to my WP control panel, that last url takes me to a login page on the actual wedding site, not the usual WP login page you get if you use that url, after logging in on that url, the page stays white with that url in the browser.

That is the correct URL to log in now.
Due to the way WP works the admin and users all log in in the same place.
