WP-Directory-List

A Categorized Directory Listing for Url’s and Businesses. The Directory Listing can range from the simple link with Description to a full business address, phone, fax and contact email.

Create separate pages for each category or list all of them at one time. Sort them by any database field for the links in either ascending or descending order.

Need a special format for your links? Just customize the way your Links show up with the Built in tags. Put multiple links in each row.

The submit form not quite the way you thought it should look? Modify it with your own code in the options and make it look like you want.

Allow your users to add links that will be pending until approved. Or Add the links in the Admin panel.

Keep your link submission spam free by using reCAPTCHA.

Provide a thumbnail image of the linked website.

How can I order the links?

In your shortcode for the directory of links, you can add two more attributes.

  • Order By: Shortcode attribute is orderby.
    • title
    • categories
    • clicks
    • state
    • date_added
  • Order: Shortcode attribute is order
    • ASC
    • DESC

My links aren’t saving.

Make sure you have created a Category.

I am getting an Error on adding a link in the admin panel and the form does not work.

Please make sure download the latest version and try again. ver. 1.3.2

An example of creating the directory and ordering all of the links by title would be:

[ directory category=all orderby=title order=ASC ]

Please make sure that you omit any spaces after the [ and before the ending ] if you copy the above example.

Bugs:
If you have a problem for some reason, please post a comment in the forums. Make sure you include the version, whether it is a fresh install or upgrade, what version you had before you upgraded, and a description of the problem at a minimum.

  1. [...] the page for this Plugin for downloading and more information. Share and [...]

  2. The download from Wordpress does not have the right base directory. It should be wp-directory-list. The file downloaded from here does have the right base directory. Working on getting the Wordpress.org download fixed.

  3. Very cool. I’m looking forward to your next version with some of the things you detailed out in your post. I think click counting and Google Map API integration should be top of the list.

  5. Hi -

    Love your idea – but having a few issues.

    1) When creating a directory listing in IE – the “ADD LINK: button does not show up . It is only visible in FireFox.

    2) Could you please clarify instructions to create pages for categories?

    Asperyour instructions, I created a Rottweiler Wescue category in the directory script. I then created a listing for the rottweiler rescue group. Then I created a page for the rottweiler rescue category.

    How is the listing suppost to appear?
    Is is supposted to automatically pull listings into the page?

    If so -it’snotworking.

    Please help – thank you!

  6. Forgot to mention that the contactemail form returns an error message when writing an email address as”

    info@rottweilerrescue.org

  7. Are you using the add link in the admin form or through the form in a page?

  8. I added the link in the admin form (manage directory), then created the page “Rottweiler Rescues”, then activated the listing.

    Nothing;

    Here is the link to the page.

    Also- How doy ou add your signup form to a page?

    Thanks in advance.

  9. You can use either

    [directory category=all]

    or

    [directory category=your category id]

    eg [directory category=1]

    Either one of those will work to display your links.

    To add the link form. just make a new page for the link form and add the shortcode

    [directory_signup]

    working on the IE issue.

  10. Thank you for that clarification.

    May I suggest you add this tect to your READ ME doc?

    For those of us who don’t know what short code is or where to find it or waht to do with it.:-)

    Saw that you just mad a new version – 1.01?

    Can you please post the link for download? WordPress still has your 1.00 version.

    Looking forward to the IE Fix.

  11. are you using the full address form?

  12. The link in the body of the page is the right download. I removed the link to wordpress for downloading. still Kinda new to the svn thing or I wouldn’t have screwed it up to begin with. Hopefully I can get it fixed soon.

  13. HI -

    Just added the shortcode:

    [directory_signup]

    It returns “You must be signed in to add a link”?

    Aslo added shortcode for:

    [directory category=all]

    You can see it here:

    When you clcik the link it goes to a Page Not Found Page.

    btw – I am using Revolution One – City Theme running on 2.7

    Thanks.

  14. I appreciate your hard work – & thanks for the plugin!

    no worries – you will get it all worked out :-)

  15. Just added the shortcode:
    [directory_signup]

    http://www.justicepaw.com/directory/

    It returns “You must be signed in to add a link”?

    Did you check the option for require user to be logged in? Are you logged in when viewing that link? I can’t register so I can’t tell.

    When you clcik the link it goes to a Page Not Found Page.

    Don’t forget the http:// on your link.

    Maybe I’ll just check for that and add it if necessary. But for now, if you could add the http:// in front of the links that should solve that problem.

  16. Hi -

    Thanks – I did have “muctbesigned in” selectedsoI deselected it.

    Also – - Iforgot the http://- now added it.

    I amnotgoing to reinstallyournewversion- ifyou want to have alookat those links – beforeI do.

    Thanks!

  17. I think I have resolved all of your current reports. Thanks for pointing them all out to me. See if the latest version found here will work for you.

  18. Hi, thanks fot this awesome plugin !

    Unfortunatly it seem have some issues with my wordpress (2.7). When I try to add a link and push the ’submit’ button, i Have :
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homez.13/myblog/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-directory-list/wp-directory-process-form.php on line 21

    And in the admin panel, I have a error when I go to “Manage Directory” and “Pending Link” tabs.
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homez.13/myblog/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-directory-list/wp-directory-pending-links.php on line 26

    Any idea ?

  19. Are you using version 1.0.3?

  20. 1.0.2, but i do the upgrade to the 1.0.3 and I have the same problem ;)

  21. hmm… well crap.

    The error stems from the function
    wp_get_current_user()->ID;

    I have it running on 4 websites and I think web2027 has it working with some minor form formating issues.

    I’ll see if I can find an alternative method of grabbing the user.

  22. Alright. changed that function to a global variable. Seems to work fine for me that way. the latest version has this change. Please try 1.0.4 and let me know.

  23. It’s better, now I can see all the tabs in the admin panel.

    But it seem another file ( wp-directory-form-html.php ) have the same mistake with the same function :

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homez.13/myblog/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-directory-list/wp-directory-form-html.php on line 19

    Thanks for your reactivity in all case :)

  24. [...] WP Directory List [...]

  25. Sorry, missed that one.

    I know I’ve said it before but all current issues should be resolved with the newest version 1.0.5

  26. hi,

    thanks for the nice plugin. i have installed the plugin successfully. but when i create the page i added the code as [ directory category=all ], when i see the page which shows the same code on the page also.

    please support me to fix this.

    Thankx
    Sheriff

  27. i fixed my previous support. but when i submit the form which shows error message:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’,
    please support me to fix

  28. [...] WP Directory List [...]

  29. should be fixed in the latest 1.0.6

  30. [...] WP Directory List [...]

  31. A small matter. Shortcodes like this:

    [ directory category=all ] //copied from this web page

    do not seem to work. But this does:

    [directory category=all] //note absence of spaces

  32. Thanks.

    Fixed the code in the page. Also got the right svn repository sorted out I believe.

    Maybe I can stop stressing over it now.

  33. Hi,

    Yes fixed in new version. but when i try to approve the from wp-admin – pending links which shows error message as given below.

    which seems the file found in plugin folder not in wp-admin.

    please let me know fix it.

  34. you click on the pending links and it gives you that error? and you have the current version 1.1.0? Can you give me more information as to what you did? I can’t duplicate it at this time. All files for the plugin should be in the directory for the plugin in the plugin folder.

  35. [...] WP Directory List [...]

  36. Please remove the plugin from your directory and download the latest version from wordpress. Once you have installed the version and are still having a problem I can try to help you.

  37. hello!
    Very nice plugin, but I think that a captcha will be great!

  38. I agree. I’ll add it to my todo.

  39. Just a word of thanks. I tried and gave up on several other plugins of this kind. I had to tweak some php to get what I wanted but it was pretty minor and I’m a happy camper. You can see the directory at:

    http://www.nacronline.com/links-directory

    Very nice work.

  40. work in progress. I had the same problem you did.

    If you would like to give me the tweaks you did, I’ll try to incorporate them into the next release.

  41. This is just a great plugin.

    I’m using it for a Classifieds section.

    Works decent so far.. I would most def like to see that Link Upgrading feature!

    I will donate $$

  42. I would too. Need to iron out some things and get it more flexible first I think but it is definitely on my todo list. Next feature that will be coming out will be a sidebar widget of links.

  43. Thanks for the great plugin. I installed V1.1.0. The directory appears to work but when you take a look you will noticed that the fonts are oversize plus I expected the listings to align under their respective categories but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

    I do have the shortcodes [directory category=all ] in one page and [directory_signup] in another page.

    Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  44. The size is a function of the theme you are using. I am working on addressing that issue with some customization of the layout. It is a priority as it seems to be one that several people have with the plugin. Hopefully have something soon on it.

    If you use the category=all then all of the links will appear in order of the id. You can use multiple shortcodes in one page eg…


    this category
    [directory category=1 ]

    that category
    [directory category=3 ]

    this that category
    [directory category=2 ]

    and they should display in that order.

    I have some code in for sorting but I haven’t tested it yet. But you will be able to add to the shortcode and sort the links once I have it properly tested.

  45. If a shortcode like [directory category=1] is in a page. . . everything else in that page is displayed AFTER the directory listing. But I want to include links to child pages and to have those links to child pages appear at the top of a page rather than at the bottom. I can do this by manually editing the wp-directory-link-html.php file–putting my code before the if($get_links) statement. See the results at:

    http://www.nacronline.com/links-directory/abuse-links

    But this manual edit needs to be re-done every time I add a child page. I would prefer to use a plug-in like this:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sb-child-list/installation/

    which detects child pages and creates/displays links automatically

    So. . . .how can I get stuff to appear on a page above the [directory] shortcode?

    Still loving this plugin.

  46. That is actually in my todo list that I have for a future release. Though from the looks of it I may need to bump it up a little bit to allow you to use it sooner.

    I take it you are just adding in the page link as an html.

    I apologize for the stuff not appearing that isn’t part of the shortcode. going to have to research that one a little bit more and see how to get it to appear properly. Perhaps someone knows and can help out there. Otherwise it might be a couple days.

    I am hoping to release a new version in a couple of days. Perhaps Sunday if all goes well.

  47. Hi there, I have uploaded the plugin and activated it but when I click on ‘options’ for the plugin I get a 404 page?? Can you help please…

  48. It’s ok I downloaded the plugin from here and it’s fine, the problem ocurred with the plugin on wordpress.org. Thanks.

  49. Is it possible to add some extra fields to the sign up form? And have the ability for the client to upload a logo or photo?
    Cheers

  50. Also the email and address details are not showing even though I have them checked to display in the options…

  51. what extra fields would you like? The image upload is something that is also on the todo list.

  52. You are using 1.1.0? Do you have the options checked to require and display the email/address? if you just have require or display, they may not display or work.

  53. Alright. fixed this temporarily until I can do the auto-detection you asked for. The new version will allow you to add links via editing the page your shortcode is on just like if you were creating a directory manually. That should at least buy me some time and keep you from manually editing the code.

    Still hope to release it this weekend sometime. Maybe Monday evening at the latest.

  54. ok thats cool, thanks I’m happy to wait. Great plugin!

  55. I am always weary of plugins with bugs…Yours installed fine on first attempt :) Excellent!

    It has been a temporary solution for me though as I need a way to check for (and require) reciprocal links. For now I rigged it so that I am asking for the reciprocal link location in the description box (LOL) and then verifying it through a cron job probably. But I think having that built in would be awesome.

    I’m also guessing it will need a captcha….ahhh the SPAM…

    So here’s my feature requests!
    Thanks!

  56. the reciprocal link is just a tiny bit above me at the moment. I’d have to do some research on that before I attempted it. You may have to wait a bit or contribute to the code. But I’ll definately put it in for the future into the todo list.

  57. [...] sure to visit http://themoneymakingwebsite.com/wp-directory-list/ for more information. Share and [...]

  58. Just a head’s up. Your latest update crashed by blog with a “header already sent error”. I deleted the plugin and everything is fine now :(

  59. did the previous version work for you and this one doesn’t?

  60. I had the same problem as Eliseleb. Got this:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /**fullpath**/wordpress/wp-includes/class.wp-styles.php:49) in /**fullpath**/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

    Worked fine with previous version.

  61. It would be nice to have links to the categories in the sidebar (widget) is that possible?

  62. Instead of random or ordered links? You would like an option to link to a category(ies)? This probably would go right along with one of the other requests that I have to figure out how to do as well. But I can work on it if I have understood you correctly.

  63. Yes, instead of random or ordered links all categories is in the sidebar. Thanks for the answer.

  65. when I install I get the following error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'bradstin_wrdp1.wp_directory_links' doesn't exist]
    SELECT title FROM wp_directory_links WHERE status=-1

  66. is this a fresh install?

  67. It doesnt work when i want to add a new link, it says:

    Error In Adding Link ’sadasd’.

    Also when I disable the captcha, it says to me: Captcha is requeired

    what should I do?

  68. What page are you seeing the error adding link on?

    I goofed on the Captcha. I have a fix for it already and can upload it but I want to fix your other issue first.

  69. I’m receiving the same error. It happens in the Admin area when you try to add a listing. It returns an “Error Adding Link” message no matter what I do. If I try to submit through the form on the website it just refreshes the page and doesn’t submit anything.

  70. Which version are you using? Is this a fresh install or an upgrade?

  71. Alright. May have found it. Please download the latest version 1.3.2

  72. Is there a changelog some where?

    Thanks!

  73. Hmm. No. Never done one of those. I’ll look at it and see what I can do. But it probably won’t come till next version at the earliest.

  74. Hi !
    I’d like to use your plugin but my website is in chinese language. When i add a category using chinese character, i get only “???” instead of characters. How can i solve this problem ?
    Thanks in advance !

  75. Unfortunately, I do not know Chinese.

    But, I am working on complying with the internationalizing standards for Wordpress. I think it is ready for translation with the exception of a few things. I should have those that I know of fixed for the next release.

    After that I would need help to translate it and can put the files in with the plugin if someone can take the time to translate it. If you have time to help with this it would be highly appreciated.

    Or if anyone would like it translated to another language it would also be highly appreciated.

  80. I want to thank you for such a great plugin! I was trying to integrate this kind of functionality with a web database product but it fell short.

    My question:
    Is there a way to modify the signup page layout? I’m not fond of everything being centered in the middle of the page.

    Thanks,
    Jeff

  81. Another question:

    Is there a way to make the address information visible only when there’s data?

  82. Not yet. I was thinking about that as well.

  83. hmm…. do you use any text in the address besides the address?

  84. I don’t use the address for anything else at this point. I want to make it optional and only visible if the user entered data in it.

  85. Alright, that can be done with the latest version with some limited results. I can add an option to it for an address separator and another tag for that option. Let me think about how to get that done. I might have something temporarily Sunday evening.

  86. Alright. Threw something together for the development version. You will need to add this tag %HIDEADDRESS% to the address div for it to do what you want.

    Example:

    div class=”entry” %HIDEADDRESS%>%ADDRESS1%
    %ADDRESS2%
    %CITY%, %STATE% %ZIPCODE% %COUNTRY%
    Ph: %PHONE%
    F: %FAX% /div

    This only works with the Address div and checks for the first street address. If missing, it hides the entire div. You may want to move the phone and fax out of that div and into their own div.

    You can get the development version at Wordpress

    If it will work for you let me know. It will be in the next release. But I can change it to work like you want if it doesn’t do exactly what it is you are asking.

  87. [...] Wp-Directory-List [...]

  88. Excellent, I will give this a try.

  89. When I use this code, the phone number still disappears even though it has its own div. Did I do this right?

    %ADDRESS1%
    %CITY%, %STATE% %ZIPCODE%
    Phone: %PHONE%

  90. Oops, sorry…real DIVs messed up the message. I figured out my problem. I forgot a slack on the closing DIV for the address. It works great!

    Where can I post suggestions?

  91. I can’t type tonight….”slash” not “slack”.

    :o(

  92. I don’t have anywhere really to post suggestions other than here. I suppose I could put up a forum. Let me get some time to think about that and I may have something by the weekend.

    Until then, feel free to post any suggestions here or you can send them to me directly.

  93. If you want to integrate a forum into your blog, I highly recommend Simple:Press.

    It’s arguably hands-down the best fully-integrated forum you can get in my opinion.

  94. Looks Pretty good. Have to see how well it works. It is up and running if you are so inclined to post your suggestions :)

  95. Hmm…something ain’t right. When I click on the Suggestions forum I get an error. From dashboard try:

    Forum > Manage Options > Toolbox > Update Forum Permalink

  96. Guess I forgot to do something. Not sure what I did that got it to work but it appears to be working for me at least.

  97. It works great now! I made several postings.

[...]

  99. Thanks for this GREAT plugin!
    Couple of questions though:

    1. Can I somehow modify the appearance of the list? I tried to do a class and a div to my CSS-file (both basic and plugin’s own) but those modifications didn’t get through. Then I put a second table in “options” panel and modificated that extra table. That worked somehow although I didn’t get exactly what I wanted.

    2. Is it possible to modify the Link Description? I need to have longer descriptions which may contain lists and several paragraphs. Now all the texts in the list expression are together with no breaks.

  100. 1. Not sure which version you are currently using but the latest version should allow you to fully customize how you layout your directory. Instead of building the directory in the php file like the first version, All I do is replace the tags with the database output. So you would need to build your layout in the Options menu for the links page. I have something similiar in works for the link submission page.

    2. Your line breaks are not getting parsed correctly is what you are saying? I will take a look at this a little later after I come home from work.

  101. 1. I’m using 1.4.0. Can you give me an example of this? I tried “style” definitions inside div-tags in Options => Format of your Links but they didn’t work. The “style” definition appears to the page code but it doesn’t have any attributes though they are in Options menu. I’m quite sure that the I’ve made the right definitions…

    2. Yes, I guess… I mean that if I make a new link from admin (Manage directory menu) and write text in Link Description with line breaks (paragraphs) and lists all the text will appear in same paragraph in the links page.

  102. If you wouldn’t mind, lets move this to the discussion forums. Please post what you are trying to use in a new thread in the forum and perhaps a link to your directory and I will see if I can help you out.

    Maybe we can figure something out that will help others as well.

  103. Will do. Thank’s.

  104. Hi, your plugin is great, thank you.
    I have just one question, is possible to add “error message” if adding new link by visitor is unsuccessfull?
    In this version when visitor fill formular incorrect (eg missing email when is required), after submit i get agian empty formular. Visitor cannot know that link adding was unsuccessfull and he maybe agian fill the form with the same wrong way.
    I think something like “Pleas insert your email” error message will be great (and for other required informations of course).

    Thank you, and sorry for my english

  105. It is one of the things I plan on getting around to. Thanks. =)

  106. Hi there,

    It’s very nice plugin but as I see it, it needs a lot of work too.
    I cannot display any thumbnail, which was created via http://www.shrinktheweb.com/ – I see in STW user control that thumbnails were created but they do not show up in directory. I have tried both scenarios, with STW display option on & off.
    I also would like to highlight that there is no option to add phone number in admin panel (or maybe I am wrong?).

    Thanks for doing this plugin, I hope it will be very helpful for many in the future.

    Best regards,
    Sebastian

  107. Yes, I do believe it needs lots of work as well. I will try to find out why shrinktheweb isn’t working for you and a couple of others.

    The phone number issue appears to be an oversight on my part. I’ll have that fixed shortly.

  108. Thank you for the great plugin. I have a question for you: Is it possible insert full html code in the Link Description text area? Html code I’ve inserted has been wipe out after submitting. Kind regards.

  109. I will add a switch for you to allow this soon. Currently it isn’t allowed.

  110. Hey!

    I just installed (v1.5.1) on my blog (2.7.1) and I get this where my categories should be listed:

    SELECT * FROM wrpr_directory_links WHERE status=1

    And ideas what to do?

    Thanks

  111. yep. some left over troubleshooting from the last bug…. I’m gonna have to remember to remove that stuff one of these days.

    Remove line 112 from wp-directory-list.php

    That should clear up the sql showing. New update on the way for it.

  112. i have the last plugin version and the last wordpress but don t show the thumbail…why? can show this in sidebar? thank you

  113. Do you have it enabled? Are the sites showing up at shrinktheweb.com? Sometimes it may take a day or two before the thumbnails start showing if they haven’t already been imaged by Stw.

    How would you like it in the sidebar?
    There is actually a section in the forum for suggestions as well.

  114. Hi,

    Sweet plugin, I am going to use it to allow job seekers to post there information.

    I was able to get the submit form to display after activating the captcha, however when I did a test submission I am not able to display the directory.

    The directory is located here. http://jobs.aquaculturetalk.com/job-seekers/

    This is how the form displayed until I activated the captcha. Also you can rule out the space in the brackets, I double checked that.

    I am wondering if it could be a width issue…

    thanks for the help, I will be sure to send you over a few beers for this one. GREAT WORK

  115. Nevermind my previous post. I goter up and running. I think it was an issue the the captcha…

  116. Thanks for your great plugin. I ask you some new features :

    1. Custom widget sidebar style. If, we have a lot of links maybe will take too much space in sidebar. Collapse and Expand feature using javascript or AJAX, I think better.
    2. Integrated with wordpress default link manager. We can transfer links created by WP directory list including category to wordpress default link manager and categories.

    Anyway, this is best automatically reciprocal link manager I’ve ever seen in wordpress!

  117. This might sound ridiculous but I am wondering if there is a way to remove countries from the drop down selector.

    I am specifically looking to remove South Georgia and The South Sandwich Islands.

    I am hoping if I do that it will shrink the width of the form enough so that my pages load smoother without slightly shifting everything.

    A small and ridiculous request I know, but just wondering.

  118. Nope not a ridiculous request. It is easy to do if you know how to access your database. Other than that I would have to write something up for you.

    Let me know if you can do it or if I need to write something up real quick for you.

  119. I will work on the widget a bit more later after I get some other features done but It can surely be done.

    As for it being connected to the wordpress links and categories, I really wanted to stay away from that. I use that for something else entirely different and wanted to keep this separate. maybe in the future I can do that as an added feature.

  120. I found the table in my DB and just moved South Georgia and the south sandwich islands.

    I just hope the 20 people that live in that area (according to wikipedia) have another option for a country. I guess it is a British territory.

    I had to investigate…

  121. Heh… I didn’t check the list when I put it into the sql file. I’ll go remove them.

  122. Great plugin! I have two questions:
    1. Since I’m using this plugin for a link exchange (not a true business directory), I don’t need the extra fields for address and country. How can I remove them?

    2. Is it possible to display a list of categories only? I would like to display a list of all categories on the top level page (not links within the categories) and require users to click on the desired category to see a subpage listing all the links within the category. Is there a short code to do this?

  123. Also, how do I modify the submit link field to capture reciprocal link info (e.g., the URL at which I can find my link on the submitter’s site)?

  124. 1. Since I’m using this plugin for a link exchange (not a true business directory), I don’t need the extra fields for address and country. How can I remove them?

    A. Just leave out the tags. Look in the Options page in the Admin Menu. You will find the where you can customize the layout there.

    2. Is it possible to display a list of categories only? I would like to display a list of all categories on the top level page (not links within the categories) and require users to click on the desired category to see a subpage listing all the links within the category. Is there a short code to do this?

    A. No shortcode as of yet. I know this is a very handy feature. Trying to figure out the best way to do it. That is something I need for mine as well. And it will probably be a shortcode. It just isn’t quite ready.

  125. Not yet but I can put it on my todo list to add for you if you like. It will be a tag that will be added to the submit form with a new field in the database. I might be able to get this into the next release.

The directory listing can range from the simple link with description to a full business address, phone, fax and contact email. You can create separate pages for each category or list all of them at one time and allow your users to add links that will be pending until approved.

  127. Love the directory plugin! One question on the editing ability: how can I make all fields editable from the dashboard?

  128. It is supposed to be that way already. I think that I have fixed it in the version I have but just haven’t updated yet.

    Not sure if I have uploaded it to the trunk version in the SVN repository but you can take a look at that one and see if it will solve the issue.

    I have been working on getting some things done and hope to have an new version soon. It will definitely be fixed in the new version.

  129. I am interested in the directory “index page” as well, where you can list all the categories with a number count beside each for how many listings, and clicking on that shows the category page with links as normal. For directories with hundreds+ links this is kind of a necessity.

  130. getting a basic search function is the current goal for the next release but I can add this to the list as it shouldn’t be that difficult. I had thought about it a bit earlier as well.

  131. Hi,

    Great plugin. Thank you.

    Everything is working nearly.

    Just one thing at http://whylose.com/get-local-subscription/quote-requests/?category=2 which is caused by clicking the category. The message is:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class AppSTW in /home/fhlinux137/w/whylose.com/user/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-directory-list/stw.class.php on line 12

    Any ideas please? WP 2.7.1.

  132. are you using the STW feature?

  133. Thanks for the quick reply.

    I was and now I’m not because of your question and that appears to have resolved the issue and raised another one as you can see at the same link.

    The one entry is shown twice.

    BTW Google Maps as well as STW wasn’t working for me. I saw the comments above regarding STW so I didn’t mention it. Is there a problem with Google Maps displaying also please?

    I have entered my keys for both. And thanks again for your support.

  134. Acutally google maps isn’t working at the moment. I should probably go ahead and remove that so as not to confuse people.

  135. Guess so, no problem and thanks for a great plugin.

  136. [...] WP Directory List [...]
