Hi, I was wondering if there was any shortcode that would allow placing the LDD’s search bar on different pages. And when the user submits their query, it would take them to the directory listing page.
I tried to paste a screenshot of the code, but I'm not sure if it worked, so I'll paste the text again below - but I have to remove this "11" typo after the contact name from the code every time there's an update or it shows up on my directory pages. Can you fix it with the next release?
It's on the listingshortcode-grid.php file.
Thanks!
<h3 class="listing-title grid-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="listing-meta meta-column">
<ul class="listing-meta fa-ul">
<?php if (ldl_has_meta('contact_name')): ?><li><i class="fa fa-user fa-li"></i> <?php echo esc_html(ldl_get_meta( 'contact_name' )); ?>11</li><?php endif; ?>
All listing pages can’t be edited with divi and they show the header and footer with no way for me to remove it since I have no idea how to locate where each of these pages live. They don’t show up in pages. They don’t show up in posts. I have the option to use default template or a slider revolution blank template (since I use slider revolution elsewhere ini my site). No matter which I do, I can’t add my sites header or footer to the page or remove the divi ones. Help!
]]>Is it possible to make the search show results that are included in peoples’ listings such as their name, location, zip code, anything?? Right now the only way I can get it to work is if I add a bunch of tags to each user which just looks downright stupid since the tags show up when their listing is pulled up.
]]>Since this plugin is no longer supported (support emails bounce) does anyone know a way to export the data so it isn’t lost? I know a plugin is offered for $14.99 to do so by the developer, but that seems unlikely.
]]>For some reason, the same directory is listed multiple times instead of just once. How do I fix this?
]]>Just a warning if you’re thinking of installing this plugin. The SSL certificate on the developer’s website expired two months ago and emails to the support@ email address are bouncing. For whatever reason, s/he seems to be AWOL at the moment and so using this plugin is very much at your own risk.
]]>At random times the LDD Directory shifts from Categories to Listing at random times. I have to go back in and change on the Setting>Appearance page. I know I am not changing it and no one else has access.
This would be a really good plugin if the Author @suffrage actually followed up with the errors that are being reported!!
I am now considering moving to another plugin after spending days entering data due to the lack of interest by the Developer.
]]>Is it possible to allow another editor (WPBakery from the theme) rather than just a visual/text editor? I am able to create another page using the WPBakery editor and then copy/paste, but this isn’t ideal for a large number of profiles as it ends up just being code and difficult to edit manually.
Is there a way to enable the theme editor as well?

]]>I am starting to add entries into the Directory Lite and the Google Map is not displaying on the listing page for entries that have an address. The Google Maps Api is working as I use it in another plugin and it also displays accurately on the Listing Edit form. I also have the Google Maps checked on the Settings>General tab.
It’s really cool but I’m wondering if it can be made to redirect directly to the website I’ve entered when clicked
]]>I have tried several test emails, to a few contacts within the directory and nobody is receiving them, including me (above link is my directory entry). I have put a plugin on which shows other emails as having been successfully sent (Post SMTP) from my WordPress site but it does not log any originating from the directory.
I would prefer not to have the form than one that doesn’t work, so the only option if no solution is to remove email addresses from every directory entry, which will be time-consuming and disappointing obviously.
]]>hi Team can anyone share me a Category CSV or Excel we need to import in my website,
]]>I tried to update the LDD Lite plugin from 2.7.9 to 3.9. After updating, all of the listings appear with two logos. I have reverted back to the older version of the plugin for now. Do you have suggestions for how I can run the update without the doubled up logos showing?
]]>Is it possible to import the listings with assigned users to these listings too, importing one global csv file instead of a csv file for each user?
]]>Since the last round of WP Updates (which included updates to the WordPress version, Avada child theme, and the LDD Directory Lite plugin), our site has experienced two major issues.
1. The media library in grid view is stuck loading. This leaves us unable to work with media files when editing the backend of the site.
2. A critical error message was displayed on our site causing us to degrade PHP versions from 8.0 to 7.4
Just updated to the latest version. My listing are now showing up in one column instead of multiples. Also… the social media icons are no longer working.
]]>There is a typo or a misspelled filename on line 44 of /includes/cmb/includes/helper-functions.php. I’m guessing it’s a misspelled filename since all of the other files in the directory use capitals except this one. The filename that is being called in the include statement is /includes/cmb/includes/CMB2_Hookup.php but the actual filename in the plugin is /includes/cmb/includes/CMB2_hookup.php with a lowercase h. This causes warnings in PHP 7. In PHP 8 this is a fatal error and the site stops working. I’m running WordPress 6.1, PHP 8.1.12, and version 3.7 of your plugin. After renaming the file so it has the capital h everything is fine.

Been using LDD Directory Lite happily for some time but now cannot see any of the additional fields if adding or editing listings (only the name, description, summary, category, tags and logo fields are available). I cannot add any address or contact details.
Installed:
WordPress – Version 6.0.3
LDD Directory Lite – Version 3.7
LDD Directory Reports – Version 0.4
Unable to open Admin Panel after updating 3.7 version.
Showing error message – contact administrator critical error occurred.
What should I do now. kindly help me to sort out this issue.
I resort backup to start my work.
]]>Suddenly (I appreciate I don’t check every day so it may have been related to a recent update of WP or similar) I get dozens of messages all over the admin interface with content like the following

Nothing has been removed or modified in the LDD Lite directory.
Any thoughts as to the reason
]]>Hello,
We bought a new plugin for the Directory on our organisation’s website (https://ncan.co.uk/directory-of-advice-and-support-organisations/) on 10th March but the link to the plug-in does not work. We then emailed [email protected] but the email could not be delivered.
Can you help, please?
Many thanks in advance

]]>Howdy Wonderful People,
I’m a cynic, I don’t like spinning my wheels unless I’ve seen some examples…
Documentation, a working website.
so, I was hoping to find a showcase, example sites that use this plugin.
It seems in this ecosystem we get two extremes, either verbosity adnauseum, or nothing at all.
I didn’t find an example of a site using this plugin, and documentation, I have to say that on their website [plugins.lddwebdesign .com], none of the links resolve to any page other than 404. And, THAT does not do a thing for me.
I’m correct again!! When you pay nothing, expect nothing, you’ll never be disappointed.
Good luck everyone.
Happy Holidays.
Hi, I am currently user-testing LLD Directory Lite plugin for a website admin.
I have submitted 2 listings, however, I cannot access them through “Manage Listing” tab.
The first link is an image of a listing that I posted.
The second link is the image for “Manage Listing” tab logged in as a user.
Third image link is the settings that the web admin currently has.
I’ve asked the web admin if “Yes” option is checked for “Public Submission” field in directory setting. The web admin confirmed that “Yes” is checked in that field. I am not sure why I cannot find/edit my own listing in the “Manage Listing” tab.
]]>Hello,
We are a nonprofit and are new to WordPress. We are trying to figure out how best to create a simple data-driven site we need, and we would appreciate your help in understanding whether the LDD Directory Lite Plugin would meet our needs.
Background:
All we need is a simple site with one directory type of page. It should look exactly like this https://changingthepresent.org/collections/george-washington-high-school-10002
There are 140k schools, each of which will have a page like that. We need each school page to have its own URL so schools can link directly to their page.
We do not need a way to search for the schools, as that will happen on a separate site.
Each of the ��products�� will be a student or a donation opportunity. Those pages will not be on the WP site. ALL the links on the school pages will go to a separate site. Student ��products�� have two links (profile and wish list, each on a separate site).
We may have as many as 2k ��products�� in some schools, and a total of 5M �C 10M products. Of course, we need pagination and caching.
We do need the filtering by tag as you see on the left WITHIN a school (not site-wide), and we vastly prefer compound tags like that so we can group them.
Search within a school would be nice but not essential, so long as we can filter on the left and show alphabetized results.
The two forms at the bottom are just iframe embeds.
Questions:
- Can we do the above-mentioned with the LDD Directory Lite Plugin?
- Do you let us add what I think is called Custom Post Types to accommodate the specific fields we need?
- Do you recommend a specific theme? Again, we want it to look exactly like the page at that URL I cited.
- How does it integrate with the MySQL database?
- Do you provide tools to manage the connection to that database?
- We want to be able to add new products on the fly as we add them. Can we do that with Google Sheets, Zapier, Integromat, or something?
- Do you recommend a specific hosting company for this? 5 to 10M records and 500k to 2M visits per month?
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated!!
Thank you very much!
