OneListing Pro - WordPress Theme for Business Directory (Premium) 1.3.1

OneListing Pro is a premium, specialized WordPress theme designed to build robust, scalable business directories and local listing portals. Developed by Directorist, it is engineered specifically to work in tandem with the Directorist plugin, transforming a standard website into a complex directory platform like Yelp, TripAdvisor, or Yellow Pages.

In late 2025, it is considered one of the most efficient "directory-in-a-box" solutions due to its clean UI and focus on user-submitted content.

Core Directory Features

Multi-Directory Support: Create multiple types of directories (e.g., Restaurants, Real Estate, and Services) on a single website with unique categories and custom fields for each.

Advanced Filter & Search: A powerful AJAX-based search engine that allows users to filter listings by Location, Price Range, Ratings, or Open/Closed status.

Front-End Submission: Allows business owners to register and submit their own listings, upload photos, and manage their profiles without ever seeing the WordPress dashboard.

Monetization Engine: Built-in tools to charge users for:

Paid Listings: One-time fees for a spot in the directory.

Promoted/Featured Listings: Higher placement in search results.

Subscription Plans: Recurring revenue for business owners to manage multiple listings.

Claim Listing Functionality: Allows you to populate the site with data and then charge business owners a fee to "Claim" the profile and manage it.

Why "OneListing Pro" for Directory Owners?

Clean, Non-Cluttered Design: Unlike older directory themes that are visually overwhelming, OneListing Pro uses a modern, "Google-esque" aesthetic that focuses on the search bar and the maps.

Scalability: It is built to handle thousands of listings. The code is optimized so that as your database grows, your site speed doesn't plummet.

Mobile App Compatibility: OneListing Pro is designed to work seamlessly with the Directorist Mobile App (available separately), allowing you to launch a native Android or iOS app for your directory.

Best Suited For

Local City Guides: "Best Coffee in London" or "New York Nightlife."

Professional Directories: "Certified Accountants" or "Local General Contractors."

Real Estate Portals: Showcasing properties with map-based browsing.

Niche Communities: "Pet-Friendly Hotels" or "Vegan Restaurants Worldwide."

Pro-Tip for 2025

For a directory to succeed, the Map Experience must be flawless.

Recommendation: Utilize the "Search as I move the map" feature. In 2025, users expect the results to refresh automatically as they drag the map to a new neighborhood. This small technical detail significantly increases user retention and engagement.
