I picked up a site with this plugin and walked into backwards. Steven helped me figure out what the issue was and gave me the solution perfectly. Great customer service. I appreciate it and him. Thanks again!

We decided to use WordPress for a support site for our online store because the plugins allow adding some quick functionality without too much fuss, expense or programming.
We selected the Connections Business Directory plugin after reading the reviews, the level of author support and the cost. There are quite a few sites that showcased some of what is possible and so we dived in – I should also mention I am not an advanced WP user.
Using the plugin we just finished laying out a number of contractor search portals for our customers which will allow them to search by zipcode radius, or by multiple categories such state and by the types of services offered. We are able to map multiple addresses and the structure is versatile enough that I can see additional uses.
I got stuck in a few places while developing it do to my lack of knowledge but the author was very responsive on the forums and pointed me in the right direction – and in a couple of cases even supplied drop in code.
I am extremely satisfied by this plugin and recommend it for your consideration if you need to build any type of searchable directory.

I have been using the Connections Pro plugin for quite a while now for more than one customer. The plugin offers a unique and simply approach to directory listings which is excellent value. The customer support is great and all questions are answered within a good amount of time, sometimes custom code is offered too! I highly recommend this if you are looking for a directory on your website.

Connections suited our needs perfectly without overcomplicating things. When I needed some additional functionality they were quick to respond and very helpful with troubleshooting. Would highly recommend!

We have been using Connections for a long time now in our internal site; first to only show upcoming employee birthdays and anniversaries (which is a feature not easy to find), but more recently we started using it as our employee directory as well. In the backend, it has great customization options for setting up your entry form, and the entry manager makes finding/editing employees easy. And any time I’ve needed help with the plugin, Support is quick to respond, nice, and super helpful. (Thank you Steven!!) This is a great plugin!

My publication tried out 7 or 8 different plug-ins on our Dev site before settling on Connections Pro, and we’re 100 percent certain we made the right choice. The plug-in was easy for our core people to learn, and very responsive to our tweaks and customizations. It also has been easy to train our ancillary team members on their directory-specific tasks. The online documentation is very helpful, and the tech support has been insanely good.
We’re a small company with limited resources. Connections Pro has enabled us to add capacity without busting our (tight) budgets. Perfect solution for us.

I’m impressed with the integration of features that this solution provides. The capabilities go well beyond just a directory. As an example, there are multiple ways to protect the privacy of email addresses. I’m using the Contact extension which provides a form to email any member in the directory. I also like the Form extension which enables people to apply to be listed in the directory. These membership applications can then send submission notifications for approval by a site administrator.
There is a learning curve to using the Connections plugin, but I have found the Support to be responsive within 24 hours and often multiple times in the same day. It’s helpful to know CSS or to use a text-replacement plugin to fine-tune the user interface.
I bought the Extension Pro Pack and feel it was money well-spent. I’m also using a beta version of software which provides improved search and filtering across multiple categories. The author considered one of my suggestions and indicated that it will be included in future.

This plugin is a real nickel-n-dimer. To get useful basic functions that should be included for free, you have to pay a ton of money for templates and addons. I recommend a pass on this one.

This plugin has the best customer service ever. I have reached out multiple times with questions or issues. My replies have been promptly answered, even several times a day. The directions are clear and I’m not made to feel bad for not understanding something or trying to figure something out. Would recommend this plugin to anyone!

Connections Business Directory is the best directory plugin that is out there. I did the research (I tried pretty much all of them) and if you want something for a local directory that can list and search businesses, organizations, or community services, then this is the plugin you need.
The support is great and fast, even if you just get the free version. I urge you to try it out with the free version and then you will want to get a template and some of the extensions.
They are very affordable and almost a steal with the support you get.
I’m using the cMap template and was able to customize with the amazing support team to fit exactly what I needed.
Documentation is great and there are tons of extensions that you can also add to this plugin and the cost is extremely affordable. Add in the stellar support and this is the best Directory plugin I could have hoped for! Look no further, just give this plugin a try.

We have been using the Connections Plugin for an Alumni Tool and the plugin ticks all the boxes for us and Steve has been excellent in his support to help us get this Live. I would highly recommend this plugin for usability and in terms of support post purchase.
Can’t fault the solution or support.
Thanks Steve!

I started working with associations a few years ago, and when I was asked about adding a member directory, I searched and found Steven’s plugin. Although the install and set up is straightforward, I sometime found myself with questions that I could not seen to figure out. Steven has always been available (do upgrade to the pro support, you’ll never regret it) and patient with my questions and concerns. I now have 3 associations using the plugin, and 2 more are getting approvals to get the directories added.
The software is truly amazing, and the support is off the charts. Thanks Steven!
Update: 1/18/24
Once again, Steven has been patient, professional and extremely helpful in solving an issue I was having with the GoMaps integration. If only more developers were as conscientious, running an agency would be a breeze, thanks again Steven!

Using this on a clients’ site we were excited about the possibilities it had in store. After using it quite a bit, and going through the various options, on several templates, we experience it as a very sturdy plugin capable of more than it says on the tin.
We wanted something “very custom” and we needed to tweak and tweak and tweak to get to where we wanted to be, due to our wishes ofc. But we are really happy to say that this plugin delivers!
The support from the developer is excellent and we could not be happier with the answers we have had so far. The help has been needed as we don’t do code, and sometimes, we needed some code.
Without the help, we would have easily struggled a lot more.
So this is a HUGE thanks to Steven, for the build, and the support.
Thanks a lot for a great plugin.

After searching for various directory plugin solutions, I stumbled across Connections Pro. It checked all the boxes I was searching for in a plugin. I needed the plugin to be customizable, from a layout perspective, to match my client’s site. I also needed it to work on mobile, have multi-category search features, and auto-generate individual directory pages. This plugin does it all! It was also cheaper than purchasing a plugin from other providers that aren’t as customizable. It also has an excellent support community, and the plugin creator is super-quick about responding to requests and providing bespoke service (I don’t know how he does it). If you’re looking for a directory plugin that’s a power-house for developers, then I highly recommend this one. While the documentation and support forums can sometimes be a lot to wade through, the end result is definitely worth the effort.

I run several websites for non-profit clubs (plus a church). For years I had looked for a way to make our membership directory available online, but still protected (when needed) – but could never find something I was happy with.
Until I found Connections Pro. It is so customizable that it will do almost anything a person could hope for. And on top of it all, the customer support provided is better than any other plugin or theme I have ever used. I don’t give 5-star ratings willy-nilly – this program (and author) have earned it.

Have built our advisory partner directory using Connections Pro and love the functionality and professional look of the directory. Recently also had an issue which Steven looked at diligently, and worked with us in identifying the issue (plug in conflict elsewhere) and researching the fix for us. Fantastic support, thank you
