Modular design with page builder supported
Besides the usual WordPress default pages, DirectoryEngine is powerful business directory software that includes of multiple content blocks such as: featured places, latest & hot places, reviews, categories, testimonials, services… Using these blocks, admins are free to build their own pages.
Moreover, with the included page builder, admins now can stay away from headaches and don’t need to make tons of effort to create beautiful pages. Simply drag and drop the content blocks to the right position and config them to your preferences. Directly in the front-end!

Smooth flows, optimized for a web application
With DirectoryEngine, we aims to provide your users the most enjoyable experience possible. They don’t have to go through complicated processes using your site.
Easily search for a place: At the top of the site, there’s a big map which locates all places matching the search criteria. And users can use the advanced search system to decide the time period as well as the radius to explore more places.
Comprehensive filter system: The filter system with different criterias allows users to limit the search results and quickly find their favourite places.
Submit a place listing without hassles: Admins can set up free and paid listing package plans, each of which has its own config of availability and number of places. Finally, a few simple clicks are all users need to do to add their places.
Explore places without page reloads: Like its other siblings, DirectoryEngine is powered with ajax in most place loading experience. No more page reloads needed and save your users tons of time surfing your site.
Raise their opinions: Love it or hate it, users have the rights to give comments and ratings for any places through the review section.
Member’s own space and bookmark system: After registration, users can access to their member areas to start customizing their profiles and manage their listings. Moreover, whenever users like a place, they can add it to their favourite listings. These places then will be stored in their profile and they can take a look at them later.

Hi guys, Great theme btw. Couple of questions!
1. I noticed an ‘EVENTS’ option in the pre release screenshot. When will this be added to the theme? The demo shows a ‘Pending’ tab at the moment.
2. For opening hours, it looks like it is only possible to specify one opening hour and not multiple days. All of the businesses that i would need to add have different hours of operation on weekends vs weekdays. Is there an option for this?
Thanks!
Hi dear,
Thanks for your interest in our products. Here are the answers^^:
1. The “Events” option’s in process and it’ll be updated soon. We’ve planned to implement it in August. Please keep looking forward to it.
2. About “Opening hours”, you are free to add different content in the description when posting a place.

2. About the “Opening hours”: Yes, you’re right. You can’t chose multiple days now. However, you can add more information about the time in the description.
Hope you’ll find these information useful.
Hi there, would you be able to chat to the developers about adding different hours of operation for the multiple days. ( Monday to Friday vs Saturday and Sunday ? ) instead of the need for putting it in the description ?
I totally agree with you Rebert, Those sound like Awesome Features, you are thinking of!!!
Awesome theme!

Proud owner of your Job & Classified themes. Looking at Directory theme I can say you guys have nailed it. Best of luck 🙂
Hi,
Hearing those words really make us proud. Please keep supporting us in the future!!!
Few quick questions:
1) does the menu bar support custom HTML content?
2) Can the admin customize the listing page to add more field?
3) Can there be a slider or a simple wide image instead of map?
4) is search form customizable? If yes, how many sub categories and sub locations are supported also what kind of search functions are included?
4) Does it have multiple rating? If no, then does it support multi rating plugins?
5) Is there an option for social login, or do you plan to implement it?
6) Finally, does it have a multi city architecture, e.g: each city can be allotted separate homepage & search form; I mean is there a way of achieving this with your theme?.
Regards

Hello, l wish you success and prosperity, right now l am to buy the classified engine theme from you for a client of mine and it is the first time l take a theme from you!!!
I currently have their One Engine Theme, for myself and 2 other clients and it’s AWESOME, you have made a great Choice!!!
Hi guys,
Amazing theme by the way! I think we should give a way for shop owners or listings owner to be able to advertise their things, whether it is to create food menus, list some products and/or show weekly specials with expiration dates and coupons. It would be great for the shop owner to have total control of his listing and advertise his business that way. It’s hard to make a shop owner pay for a listing if he/she has very little things to do with the listing, but if you can give them all these possibilities to advertise their things for cheap, they will surely be interested! I think the event feature will be similar to this but not as advanced, I guess you guys could use the event feature and expand on it. What do you think?
Thanks!

ฉันอยากได้ใบอนุญาตของ DirectoryEngine
ขอบคุณมาก
it’s an awesome theme. thanks for sharing. will try to use it in projects.
Search filtering does work with the top search option. For example, I selected a category and nothing happened.
Hi,
We’ve checked it again and everything seem okay. Would you mind clarify your issue more?
This is really exciting – I’ve been looking for a great Directory for WordPress ever since the SpotFinder author went on a run! Really looking forward to the video implementation and events! Another major side that I have been looking for – looks like a much better version of the Metro theme! All the features, but clean, proper front-end and gorgeous! Will probably purchase this even if I did win it! 🙂
Great design and nice promoting idea!
awesome theme!!! this is my dream!
I stumbled upon Engine Themes while looking for job wordpress themes and I loved the Job Engine theme but because of the limitation of frontend translations into Arabic, I didn’t buy the theme. Just logged on to the site after a long time today and really glad to see Engine Themes grow this big within such a short time.
Great for new Engine Themes, congratulations!
The theme looks great visually and by functionality. Good luck with sales!
Nice design!!!
I look forward to using this theme soon! Thanks @EngineThemes
I currently found this article informing about the
Google Maps Usage Limits and Billing
https://developers.google.com/maps/usagelimits/?utm_referrer=v3
You should consider to add a free open streetmap alternative. What do you say to this?
Because all bigger directory sites use free maps!
Hello Mike,
Thank you very much for your idea. We’ll inform our developers about this suggestion and discuss more ^^
Very complete and useful theme. I hope I will get a free licence to try to start a small local business. Thanks for the offer 🙂
I was wondering if this theme can allow users to post ads for articles instead of a directory business, would it be friendly for those purposes?
Hi,
If you want to post ads for articles, you may want to take a look at our ClassifiedEngine, here are the information:

Sign me too! 🙂
I think I entered, but I’m not sure! Tweeted and liked. God this looks too good to be true!
I have a fairly successful listings site over at manufacture.ie, but it has its bugs and this seems far more in the style I’m looking for. Very curious to see.
I was just browsing through classifieds theme on net and came to stop on ‘classified engine’ and ‘directory engine’. Really great themes but directory engine seems a multipurpose theme, can be used for classified engine and honestly If I had to choose classified ads theme I would go for directory engine.
My opinions for ‘directory engine’:
1) Implement some features of classifieds website would make this theme a big hit as multipurpose theme, or another classified version would be more awesome perhaps.
2) There should also be a categories grid/listing beneath the map or featured ads, nobody wants to go down the page.
3) Customizable submit form and a search bar before or after maps.
Apart from these, the theme is super and much much better than others. Would love to try this theme live for my clients.
Thanks!

Hi Friends, I want this theme really and this is the ultimate theme for directory thanks for the giveaway
You have bug with size in chrome
http://prntscr.com/47g6ds
Thanks for your notice, we’ll inform our developers about this issue.
Invoice and bank transfer as payment methods would be great. PayPal isn’t yet commonly accepted by businesses in Germany. And Open Street Map as alternative to Google maps would also be nice.
Great Theme !! what about some ideas to make it better?

Great to see a new directory theme. so many possibilities. cheers
Great looking theme, I’ve been looking for a directory theme and literally saw your email to win it and thought it was fate, thanks!
wow awesome theme man ….. perfect for my next website 🙂
I’d create a site for health practitioners who use healing methods that are affordable. It could also include health practitioners who use non-invasive methods (which are inherently cheaper) like chiropractors, physiotherapists etc.
I recently purchased your job-board and I’m in the process of getting it set up and customized. If your directory works as well as your job-board it will be fantastic! I would love to win your directory!
Hi guys,
I really like this new theme. I currently have the jobengine theme and I’m working on customizing it to my needs.
It would be great if I win this one so I can start another site.
I have always liked the themes Engine Themes come up with. Have been following them for a while now. Directory theme looks equally great.
hi i would like to know, whether i can run DE and QA simultaneously on one site? how to enable same login for both ? is there a 1 step sign in?
Hi,
You can use WordPress multisite to use these two in one WP copy. About enable same login for both, you may want to consider this plugin to set it up: http://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-user-management/screenshots/
Hope you’ll find these info helpful.
Thanks man. this is helpful.
It’s a very interesting theme. I personally fancy the idea to quit my 9 to 5 job and start working for myself. I could use a kick in the ass anyway, as from my calculations I’ll need some money. Hopefully I’ll be one of the lucky winners as this theme looks very promising with a nice and friendly interface. Let’s see what the future brings. Does it feature credit card payments too ? Or just Paypal and bank transfer. Thanks a lot ! Iulian

Hey guys, my friends and I are doing a startup to make it easy for high school kids to find internships. I’d love to use this theme to make our website awesome and reach more high schoolers so they can easily explore and find their dream internship opportunity!
Keep up the good work!
Looking nice ! Good job.
Great theme!
I plan on using it (win or buy) in the near feature. In my case I would like to focus on a specific city.
Currently working on another great theme from you guys, jobengine and I can say that it’s pretty great!
You saved me countless hours of coding and brainstorming. I can customize only the parts I need and I’m good to go :).
All the best!
Great theme! EngineThemes, always innovating!
a great business opportunity in my local town!
I Would definitely love to win a Free copy of this theme. I’ve spent hundreds on directory themes and this looks to be the most aesthetically sound theme yet.
Theme is awesome.. anyone have installed on his domain?
I am using this theme as a classified website in which there are 10 main categories & 130 sub categories. Now currently, the theme doesnt take main category & sub category in the same permalink. It allows only ONE. So, what I am looking for is both in the same URL.
For eg. – http://www.classifiedwale.com/travel-tourism/hotels-resorts (where Travel & Tourism is main category & Hotels & Resorts is sub category under Travel & Tourism) & then when a listing comes in the same sub category the permalink shall be – http://www.classifiedwale.com/travel-tourism/hotels-resorts/post/page-title-as-entered-by-user/
I need to make this change at earliest. Kindly let me know asap. Thanks !!!

Hi,
I need to implement recurring payment for the plans using paypal in this theme, do we have any in-built function to achieve this. Please advise. Thanks.
Hello Felix,
Concerning your question, the DE theme doesn’t have any inbuilt function to recurring payment for the plans using PayPal at the moment.
And it’s such a pity that I can’t offer you any temporary solution on this matter. However, I will certainly forward your suggestion to our developer team for consideration.
Regards,
