This is a pretty strait forward plugin. It turns any page into a directory. I kinda used the DMOZ or open directory as a guide and put this together. If you are in need of a directory this one is easy to use and fits into your site without any advanced setup techniques. As always feel free to let me know what you think or report and bug and suggestions to the support forums!

~~Installation~~
1) Upload the wp-directory folder into your plugins directory.
2) Activate the plugin through the plugin admin area.
3) Create a page to put your directory on, or choose an existing page.
4) Add this to the code section of your page < !- -w p - d i r e c t o r y- - > with no spaces, the spaces are there so you can see that there are two dashes!
5) Set the options in the admin -> Directory -> Options page “make sure if you are using permalinks to turn that option on”.
5) To use the quick add widget go to your widget control panel and add the directory widget to your sidebar. If your theme doens’t use widget add <?php widget_wp_directory(); ?> to sidebar.php
6) If you are going to use screenshots make sure you chmod the images/screenshots directory.
You can now start adding categories, subcategories, and sites!

September 17th, 2007 at 9:35 am This plugin is soooo good! Thank you. ...i am waiting for the netxt release.
September 20th, 2007 at 2:53 am I am having the same problem as WolfApache: when I install the plugin and create the directory page, it's like there is an open comment tag, the whole page is broken immediately after the page title. I have tried this with Wordpress 2.2 and 2.3 Beta with all other plugins off and in multiple themes including the default theme and BlogOhBlog. Also, I noticed in the code that there are a lot of ` characters where there should be ' single apostrophes. Replacing all of these still doesn't help. I have the latest version of PHP and safemode is off.

October 3rd, 2007 at 5:32 pm Great plugin. Is it able to do such as phpld? I'm kinda wanted to make paid directory. I guess most people is intended to do the same.

I am using Wordpress 2.3 and when i activate the plugin and click on the Directory tab in my admin panel i get the following error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-directory/directory.class.php on line 455 Have you any idea how i can fix this ? Thanks

October 15th, 2007 at 9:28 am Is it compatible with WordPress 2.3?
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:11 am If you can't get the directory to display, go into your phpmyadmin (in your cpanel mysql databses)...choose your database from the dropdown on the left...choose wp_posts...put a check next to post_content and click browse at the top. Find your entry for wp-directory...most likely there's some gobbledy gook in the content part and not like it should Click the "pencil" for the row pertaining to wp-directory and hard set into the post_content section. That should do it. This is a wordpress formatting issue and not the plugin. WP, for whatever reason scrambles your code sometimes and it can be a pain to get to post the normal, front end way...or any code for that matter. Sometimes ya gotta edit the db to make things work James
