Scale to a Large Volume of Listings

Listdom is engineered to support directories of any size—from small local listings to large-scale global platforms—with powerful performance optimizations and scalability features that ensure smooth operation even under heavy data loads.

✅ Key Capabilities:

Optimized Query System
Listdom uses performance-optimized database queries that handle thousands of listings, categories, and custom fields without slowing down the site.
Custom Post Type Architecture
Listings are stored using a dedicated WordPress custom post type, ensuring full compatibility with the WordPress ecosystem while enabling separation from standard posts and pages for better management.
AJAX-Powered Loading
Many of Listdom’s skins (like Grid, List, Half Map) use AJAX to load listings dynamically, improving page speed and reducing reloads—especially beneficial for directories with high listing counts.
Pagination & Lazy Loading Support
You can enable classic pagination, “Load More” buttons, or infinite scroll in shortcode settings to display listings in batches. This prevents overwhelming the browser and server with excessive content loads.
Advanced Search & Filtering Indexing
The Search Builder is designed to work efficiently even with dozens of fields, taxonomies, and conditions—perfect for large-scale, filter-heavy directories.
Taxonomy Management at Scale
Listdom supports thousands of categories, locations, tags, features, labels, and custom fields with optimized admin panels and bulk editing tools to streamline content management.
Clustering on Maps
With built-in support for marker clustering in map-based skins, Listdom avoids overcrowding the map by grouping nearby pins into clusters—critical for visualizing dense data points.
Import/Export Tools
Quickly bulk upload or export listings and their metadata, useful for migrating large datasets or maintaining external backups.
Caching Compatibility
Fully compatible with major caching plugins like WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache, enabling further performance gains through static HTML delivery and query caching.
Multisite and Multilingual Support
Run multi-region directories under a WordPress Multisite setup or use translation plugins to deliver high-performance listings in multiple languages.

Whether you’re building a regional real estate site or a nationwide business directory, Listdom is fully equipped to scale with your ambitions.

Custom Fields (Built-in, Unlimited)

Listdom empowers you to tailor your directory to virtually any industry or niche by allowing the creation of unlimited custom fields. These fields enable you to collect, display, and filter listing-specific data beyond the default fields—making your listing pages dynamic, rich, and highly relevant.

✅ Key Capabilities:

🔧 Unlimited Custom Fields
There is no limit to how many custom fields you can create and assign to listings. Whether you’re running a real estate directory, restaurant guide, medical directory, or service marketplace, Listdom adapts to your needs.

🔢 Supported Field Types
Create diverse field types to accommodate different data formats:

Text Field (e.g., “Pet Policy” – “Allowed”)
Number Field (e.g., “Square Footage” – 1800)
Textarea (e.g., “Service Description” – Multiple sentences)
URL (e.g., “Booking Page” – external links)
Email (e.g., “Contact Person Email”)
Dropdown (e.g., “Property Type” – Apartment, Villa, Office)
Radio Buttons (e.g., “Has Parking?” – Yes/No)
Checkboxes (e.g., “Amenities” – Pool, Gym, Wi-Fi)

Each field can be configured with a label, tooltip, placeholder, required/optional status, and default value.

✅ Fully Integrated with Display and Search:

Single Listing Page Display
Custom fields automatically appear on the listing details page under the “Additional Info” section or anywhere you specify using layout controls.
Search and Filter Builder Integration
You can assign any custom field as a filter field to allow advanced search capabilities. Users can filter listings by any of your custom field values (e.g., “Max Guests”, “Fuel Type”, “Warranty Period”).
Skin Filtering Compatibility
Skins such as Grid, List, Half Map, etc., can filter the output using specific custom field criteria—great for showing only listings with certain attributes.

✅ Design & Layout Control:

Field Order and Visibility
You can drag-and-drop fields into your preferred order. Fields can also be hidden from public view while still storing data.
Custom Layout Zones
Assign fields to specific areas of the single listing layout (e.g., sidebar, content block, tabs).
Conditional Display
With Listdom Pro, custom fields can appear or disappear based on selected category or other listing data—ideal for niche segmentation.

✅ User-Friendly Entry Interface:

Admin and Frontend Support
Fields appear in both the WordPress backend and frontend dashboard, ensuring smooth submission for admins and users alike.
Predefined Options for Fields
For fields like dropdowns, checkboxes, and radio buttons, define the choices users can pick from—ensuring data consistency.

✅ Performance and Developer Support:

Custom fields are stored as WordPress post meta.
Fully accessible for developers to query, sort, display, or integrate with third-party services.
Compatible with WP All Import/Export for bulk operations.

✅ Use Cases:

In a restaurant directory, add fields like “Cuisine Type”, “Reservation Link”, “Vegetarian Options”.
In a real estate site, add “Year Built”, “Lot Size”, “HOA Fees”, “Property Status”.
In a medical directory, add “Specialization”, “Languages Spoken”, “Insurance Accepted”.

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Integration

Listdom offers seamless integration with the popular Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin, allowing you to extend listings with powerful and highly customizable field structures. If you’re already using ACF to manage complex data or need capabilities beyond Listdom’s built-in fields, this integration makes it easy to map and display ACF data inside your listings.

✅ Key Capabilities:

🔗 Full ACF Compatibility
With the Listdom ACF Add-on, you can link any ACF field group to your listings. This gives you access to ACF’s advanced field types such as:

Repeater Fields
Flexible Content Blocks
Google Maps (ACF Field)
Image Galleries
Color Pickers
True/False Toggles
Date/Time Pickers
File Uploads
And more…

📍 Location-Aware Mapping
If you use the ACF Google Map field, Listdom can extract the coordinates and display the listing on the map—perfect for syncing data across systems.

✅ Easy Mapping & Display:

Dynamic Field Mapping
The ACF Add-on detects the custom fields you’ve created via ACF and makes them available for output within the listing layout—no code needed.
Display on Single Listing Page
ACF fields appear within the Additional Info section of the single listing page, or you can control their location via the layout editor.
Conditional Visibility
Supports showing ACF fields based on category or user role (when used with Listdom Pro’s conditional display system).

✅ Use in Frontend Dashboard & Backend:

ACF fields can be displayed in both the WordPress backend listing editor and Listdom’s frontend dashboard, so users can input data directly.
This is especially helpful in membership sites, classifieds, and agent-based portals where users need to manage their own listings with rich field data.

✅ Developer-Friendly:

ACF values are stored using standard post meta, making them fully accessible via WordPress functions (get_field(), the_field()).
Supports custom templates, Elementor widgets, and shortcodes for displaying data anywhere.

✅ Popular Use Cases:

In a car dealership directory, use ACF repeaters to list multiple vehicle features or service records.
In a real estate platform, use flexible content blocks for dynamic property descriptions.
In an events portal, display structured details like agenda, speaker lists, and schedules.

Requirements:
🔌 Requires Listdom ACF Add-on and ACF Free or Pro Plugin installed and active.

Contact Information (Phone, Email, Website, WhatsApp)

Listdom gives you full control over the contact details displayed on single listing pages, allowing visitors to quickly reach out to listing owners through multiple communication channels. This boosts engagement, increases trust, and enhances lead generation for directory platforms.

✅ Key Contact Fields

Phone Number: Display one or more phone numbers prominently. Users can click to call directly from mobile devices.
Email Address: Show a clickable email address that opens in the default email client.
Website URL: Link to the official website of the business, company, or listing.
WhatsApp: A special field for WhatsApp contact, enabling instant messaging through the world’s most popular chat platform.

🛠️ Display Settings and Styling

Flexible Element Control: You can enable or disable each contact element individually based on what’s appropriate for your listing type.
Custom Labels and Icons: Customize field titles (e.g., “Book Now” instead of “Phone”) and assign unique icons using the Advanced Icon Addon.
Inline or Block Display: Choose to show contact info in a single line, boxed area, sidebar, or integrated into the main content.
Conditional Visibility: Only display contact fields if they’ve been filled out by the listing owner, ensuring clean layouts with no empty placeholders.

Title and Slug Customization

Listdom gives you full control over the title and URL (slug) of each listing, making it easy to optimize for both user clarity and search engine visibility. Every listing is saved as a custom post type within WordPress, which means it follows the standard WordPress rules for managing titles and slugs—yet it adds enhancements specifically tailored for directory-style content.

✅ Key Capabilities:

📝 Custom Listing Titles
Each listing requires a unique title, which serves as its main identifier across all views and skins (grid, list, map, etc.). The title is prominently displayed on listing cards, search results, single detail pages, and in meta previews (e.g., when shared on social media).

🔗 SEO-Friendly Slug Configuration
Slugs are generated automatically from the listing title, but they can be manually edited via the WordPress post editor. You can customize them for keyword-rich, human-readable URLs—an important factor for SEO and user trust.

📍Permalink Structure Control
Listdom supports configuring the permalink base structure using WordPress’s permalink settings or with the help of plugins like “Permalink Manager.” If you want listings to appear under a specific URL base like /listings/ or /properties/, this is easily doable.

💼 Business Use Case Example:
For a real estate directory, you might have a listing titled “Luxury Apartment in Manhattan” with a slug of luxury-apartment-manhattan, resulting in a clean, professional-looking URL:
https://example.com/listings/luxury-apartment-manhattan

✅ Developer Notes:

The listing title is stored as post_title and the slug as post_name, both accessible via WordPress core functions.
Compatible with multilingual slug generation tools like WPML and Polylang.
Fully compatible with Listdom Pro and Elementor templates—titles and slugs are dynamically pulled and displayed in your custom layouts.

✅ Benefits for End Users:

Easy identification of listings in search engines and browser tabs.
Clean, meaningful URLs that users can recognize and remember.
Enhanced discoverability when titles include relevant keywords or locations.

Slug & Permalink Configuration

Listdom gives you full control over how listing URLs (slugs and permalinks) are structured, helping you create SEO-friendly, readable, and brand-aligned URLs for your single listing pages.

✅ Key Capabilities:

Custom Listing Slug
In the Listdom → Settings → General tab, you can define the base slug used in listing URLs. For example, change /listings/sample-listing to /directory/sample-listing or anything else that fits your branding or niche.
Automatic Slug Generation
When a new listing is created, the slug is automatically generated based on the listing title, ensuring consistent and clean URLs.
Manual Slug Editing
For advanced control, listing authors or admins can manually edit the slug of each listing from the Add/Edit Listing screen to customize the URL even further.
SEO-Friendly Structure
Short, readable URLs with relevant keywords improve visibility in search results and help users understand the page content before clicking.
Multilingual Compatibility
Works seamlessly with translation plugins like WPML or Polylang, allowing slugs to be translated or localized across languages.

This level of control is essential for directories that require clean and optimized URLs to maximize search performance and maintain content structure consistency.

Excerpt and Description

Listdom provides two distinct yet complementary fields for describing listings: the Excerpt and the Description. These fields help balance brevity and detail, ensuring listings are both scannable in preview formats and informative in their full view.

✅ Key Capabilities:

📄 Excerpt (Short Description)
The Excerpt is a concise summary or teaser of the listing. It appears in compact layouts such as grid, list, carousel, and table views. Designed to capture attention quickly, it gives users just enough information to decide whether to click for more.

Typically shown as a 1–3 line preview next to the listing thumbnail or title.
Editable separately from the full description field, giving precise control.

📘 Description (Full Content)
The Description field is a rich, fully formatted content area for detailed information about the listing. This is displayed prominently on the single listing page and can include anything from property specs to business profiles, menus, or tour itineraries.

Full visual (WYSIWYG) editor support.
Compatible with images, shortcodes, embedded media, tables, and links.
Accepts content built in Gutenberg or page builders like Elementor (if enabled).

✅ Design & Display Flexibility:

Excerpt Trimming: Some skins can be configured to limit the number of words shown from the excerpt field.
Conditional Display: You can choose to show or hide the excerpt or description on a per-skin or per-layout basis using the Design settings or Element Toggle panel.
Custom Styles: Style excerpt and description content separately via CSS or theme settings for better visual hierarchy.

✅ Use Cases:

A travel site might use the excerpt to show the destination and duration (“5-day Bali Escape”) and use the full description to explain the itinerary, inclusions, and terms.
A business directory could use the excerpt for a tagline (“Best Vegan Bistro in San Francisco”) and the full description to list menu items, services, and certifications.

✅ SEO Benefits:

Excerpt helps with click-through rate from listing grids and search results.
Description contributes significantly to the content richness of the listing, improving keyword coverage and indexability.

Price and Price Class

Listdom provides a robust pricing system that enables listings to include both exact price values and qualitative price ranges. This dual-approach system is ideal for directories across real estate, rentals, services, hospitality, and more, allowing you to communicate pricing with both precision and simplicity.

✅ Key Capabilities:

💰 Price Field (Numeric or Textual)
The standard price field lets you display a specific price or textual format—depending on the nature of your listing.

Accepts numeric values (e.g., 250000, 79.99, etc.) or formatted text (e.g., $200 per night, From $1,200/month).
Supports any currency or symbol (e.g., USD $, Euro €, Pound £, Yen ¥).
Works seamlessly with listing views and search filters.
Can be paired with a pricing suffix or prefix for localization (e.g., “from”, “starting at”, “per hour”).

🏷️ Price Class (Cheap, Normal, Expensive)
Listdom introduces a Price Class selector to allow qualitative categorization of pricing. Instead of (or alongside) showing specific numbers, you can assign listings a class based on relative cost.

Built-in options:
- Cheap
- Normal
- Expensive
Displayed as text labels or colored indicators in various skins.
Helpful for users who want a quick sense of affordability without needing a precise number.

✅ Design & Display Control:

Show or Hide Price: Enable or disable price display per skin or globally through settings.
Position Customization: Control where the price appears—in the header, under title, next to excerpt, or on hover cards.
Highlight Premium Listings: Use price values in conjunction with Top-Up or Ads Add-on to highlight premium-priced listings.

✅ Advanced Integration:

Search Filtering:
- Use built-in or custom fields to allow users to filter listings based on price range (e.g., $100–$500).
- Combine with other fields like location, category, or features for highly targeted results.
Custom Field Extension:
- Add other price-related fields such as “Cleaning Fee”, “Security Deposit”, or “Service Charge” using Listdom’s custom field builder.
Currency Localization:
- Use custom text or dynamic currency plugins to localize the price for multilingual/multi-region directories.

✅ Use Cases:

A property directory can show: $850,000 or From $2,500/month.
A hotel listing can show: €200 per night and label it “Expensive”.
A tutor profile might use: Negotiable or Hourly pricing available.

✅ Developer Access & Customization:

Price is stored in a dedicated field as post meta (_listdom_price).
Price Class is stored as a separate field and can be styled via CSS or used in sorting logic.
Both can be exported, imported, or manipulated via Listdom Pro or external scripts.

Business Hours

The Business Hours feature in Listdom allows listings to display their open and close times for each day of the week, offering vital scheduling information to visitors. Whether you’re managing a directory of restaurants, clinics, coworking spaces, or local services, this functionality adds a layer of trust and utility by keeping users informed of availability.

Map & Address

The Map & Address feature in Listdom provides precise geographic and location information for each listing, making it easier for users to find physical destinations, navigate using maps, or explore businesses near them. It includes a full address field, dynamic interactive map, and several customizable settings that bring location-based listings to life.

✅ Key Capabilities:

📍 Address Field with Auto-Complete
Listings include a full address field where owners or admins can type in any location. If enabled, the field supports Google Maps auto-complete, making address input fast and accurate.

🗺️ Interactive Single Listing Map
Each listing displays a dedicated map with a single marker, showing its exact location. This is highly useful for real estate, local business directories, and tourism listings.

📌 Custom Map Marker Icons

🗾 Google Maps or Leaflet Integration
Choose between Google Maps (default, with full styling options) or Leaflet (OpenStreetMap) for a free, API-key-free solution. This can be set globally or per listing (with Pro add-on support).

✅ Frontend User Experience:

🔗 Address-to-Google Maps Linking
The address displayed on the listing can be made clickable, opening Google Maps in a new tab for navigation. This improves mobile usability and quick access to driving or walking directions.

🎯 Accurate Single Marker Display
The map shows only one marker per listing (not to be confused with the multi-marker map on listing pages), giving a clean and uncluttered display of a single location.

🧭 Directions Integration
The map includes an optional “Get Directions” link, leading users from their current location to the listing using Google Maps.

✅ Map Settings and Customization:

🧩 Choose Map Position
With the Style Manager or Details Page settings, you can show the map at the top, bottom, or within the listing layout.

🖼️ Map Styling Options (Google Maps Only)
Customize the look and feel of the map using built-in styles such as Midnight, Subtle Grayscale, Ultra Light, etc. Custom styles can be applied via the Advanced Map Add-on.

🔁 Marker Actions

Redirect to full listing page
Open in a Lightbox
Or do nothing

✅ Admin and Frontend Listing Submission:

Users can pin the listing location directly on the map using a draggable marker.
Supports both backend and frontend submission forms (with Listdom Pro or Frontend Dashboard add-on).

Social Media Links

Listdom allows you to enhance each listing with dedicated social media fields, giving you the flexibility to connect listings with their online presence. These fields are part of the default elements in the single listing setup and can be optionally shown or hidden depending on your layout or preferences.

✅ Supported Platforms:

Facebook
Instagram
Twitter (X)
LinkedIn
YouTube

Each of these can be filled in via the listing submission form in the backend or frontend dashboard.

Images and Image Gallery

Listdom provides robust support for showcasing images in listings, helping you present your content in a visually engaging and informative way. From a single featured image to a full gallery, the system is designed for maximum flexibility and clarity.

✅ Featured Image:

Every listing can have one featured image that represents it in listing views, maps, sliders, carousels, and other skins.
This image is also shown prominently at the top of the single listing page by default.

✅ Image Gallery:

Listings can include multiple additional images as a gallery.
Gallery images are displayed using the built-in slider, which is responsive and touch-friendly.
Images are shown in the order they’re uploaded and can be browsed with arrows or swipes.

✅ Settings & Customization:

You can choose to hide the image section completely via Listdom → Settings → Single Listing.
In Style Management, certain layouts (like Slider Style) make the gallery a central focus of the design.
Image gallery behavior and layout (e.g., as a lightbox or slider) are determined by the selected layout style and available style settings.

✅ Fallback Behavior:

If no image is uploaded, a placeholder image is shown.
The placeholder image can be changed globally in Listdom settings or through add-ons such as APS.

This image support makes Listdom suitable for visually rich use cases like real estate listings, product catalogs, portfolios, event directories, and more.

Video Support (YouTube, Vimeo, Self-hosted)

This video integration empowers listing owners to better present their offerings and helps directory owners create modern, media-rich listings that captivate visitors.

Locations

Locations are a built-in hierarchical taxonomy in Listdom used to geographically categorize listings. Whether you’re building a global directory, a local business map, or city-specific listings, locations provide users with intuitive navigation and filtering by place.

✅ Location Management:

Create and manage locations via:
WordPress Dashboard → Listings → Locations
Each location supports:
- Name
- Slug
- Description
- Parent Location (for hierarchical structuring like Country > State > City)

🔁 Single or Multiple Locations:

By default, listings are assigned to a single location.
With the Multiple Locations Addon, listings can be assigned to multiple locations to increase discoverability in regional searches.

🗺️ Hierarchical Filtering & Search Integration:

Locations are fully integrated into the Search & Filter Form Builder.
Users can filter listings by location using dropdowns or dynamic fields that drill down into sub-locations.
Hierarchical display ensures that users can filter from broad regions down to specific areas.

📥 Import/Export Support:

Locations can be assigned in bulk import/export processes.
Useful when setting up a large directory with predefined geographic structures.

💡 Complementary with Map & Address Fields:

Locations work alongside the Map & Address section of listings.
While location is a taxonomy, the exact address is a meta field that can include coordinates for maps.

Features (Selectable Characteristic Flags)

Listdom allows you to define Features as a flexible taxonomy to highlight the specific attributes, services, or characteristics of each listing. Whether you’re creating a property directory, restaurant guide, or business catalog, this feature enables users to easily identify what makes each listing stand out.

Labels (Custom Display Badges, Dynamic)

Labels in Listdom allow you to assign colorful, eye-catching badges to listings—perfect for highlighting special statuses like “New”, “Hot”, “Premium”, or any custom tag you define. These labels appear prominently on listing cards and in the single listing view, making them ideal for improving visibility and user interaction.

✅ How Labels Work:

Labels are a built-in taxonomy in Listdom, similar to categories and tags.
You can create an unlimited number of custom labels from the WordPress admin by navigating to Listings → Labels.
Each label can have a name, description, and a custom background color that will be used as the badge color on the front-end.

✅ Display Locations:

Listing Cards (Grid, List, Carousel, etc.): Labels appear as styled badges—typically at the corner of the image or card.
Single Listing Page: The assigned label(s) display near the listing title or featured image, based on your Single Listing layout.

✅ Design & Customization:

Each label’s background color can be set individually, allowing you to create visual distinctions between types of listings (e.g., red for “Sold”, blue for “New”).

This feature is ideal for classifieds, real estate, product directories, and service listings where decision-making often involves multiple options.

Style Management for Listings

Listdom gives you full control over how individual listings are displayed through its robust Style Management system. Whether you’re running a business directory, real estate portal, travel site, or classified platform, you can choose from multiple pre-designed styles—or build your own—to ensure each listing matches your brand, audience expectations, and content structure.

✅ Built-in Layout Styles:

Listdom includes 4 professionally designed styles for single listing pages:

Basic Style:
A clean, content-first layout with all listing details presented in a linear format. Ideal for general-purpose directories.
Sidebar Style:
Separates primary and secondary listing content into main and sidebar columns. Great for emphasizing images, maps, or CTAs alongside content.
Slider Style:
Places an image slider at the top of the listing, ideal for visual content like travel destinations or real estate.
User Directory Style:
Tailored for user-based listings such as members, freelancers, service providers, or agents. Includes profile-specific elements.

🎨 Layout Flexibility and Control:

Per-Listing Layout Selection: When adding or editing a listing (either from the backend or frontend), you can manually select the layout style—Basic, Sidebar, Slider, or User Directory. This allows specific listings to stand out or be styled according to their purpose or industry.
- Useful for emphasizing photo-heavy listings (e.g. real estate) or simplifying profile-like entries.
- Overrides global or category-based defaults when assigned.
Per-Category Layout Assignment: You can assign a default layout style to specific categories via the backend settings. Any listing created under that category will automatically inherit the assigned style—unless a different layout is chosen manually at the listing level.

- Ensures visual consistency within category types.
- Great for directories with mixed listing types, such as services, products, or locations.
Subscription-Based Layout Customization: Using subscription-based logic (when used in combination with Listdom Pro and relevant monetization features), you can assign different layout styles based on the user’s package.

- For example:
  - Free users may only access the Basic layout.
  - Premium users may unlock advanced layouts like Slider or Sidebar.
- Helps create tiered visual experiences and motivates users to upgrade.

Listing Status & Publish Workflow

Listdom provides a flexible publishing workflow for managing listing visibility and moderation. Whether you’re manually adding listings via the WordPress backend or allowing users to submit them through the frontend dashboard, you can fully control how and when listings become visible.

🔁 Backend Listing Status Options

When adding or editing listings from the WordPress admin panel, you can choose from the standard WordPress post statuses:

Published: The listing is live and publicly visible.
Draft: The listing is saved but not visible on the front end.
Pending Review: Useful when listings need admin approval before being published.

This native WordPress integration ensures that Listdom listings follow familiar WordPress workflows, making content moderation and status management intuitive for site admins.

🌐 Frontend Submission Workflow (With Frontend Dashboard)

If you’ve enabled Frontend Submission, Listdom allows users to submit listings through a user-friendly form. These user-submitted listings are not published immediately. Instead:

Listings are saved in Pending status by default.
Site admins can review and publish them manually from the WordPress backend.

This prevents spam and ensures content quality, especially in community-based or monetized directories.

🔐 The Frontend Dashboard for user submissions is part of the free Listdom version. Display control features are enhanced with Listdom Pro.

Spam Protection with Google reCAPTCHA

To protect your directory from spam and automated submissions, Listdom supports seamless integration with Google reCAPTCHA, helping ensure that only legitimate users can submit listings or interact with key forms.

✅ reCAPTCHA Support in Submission Forms

Google reCAPTCHA is embedded into the Add Listing Form (on the Frontend Dashboard) to verify user authenticity before allowing submission. This prevents bots from flooding your site with fake or malicious content.

Supported forms include:

Frontend Submission Form: The reCAPTCHA field appears just before the submission button, asking users to verify themselves.
Report Abuse Form (if enabled): Spam prevention applies here as well.

🔧 Setup and Configuration

You can enable Google reCAPTCHA by navigating to:

WordPress Admin → Listdom → Settings → General → Google reCAPTCHA tab

Enable or disable the feature.
Enter your Site Key and Secret Key from the Google reCAPTCHA dashboard.

Listdom supports both reCAPTCHA v2 (Checkbox) and Invisible reCAPTCHA v3, giving site owners flexibility in how strict or seamless the protection should be.

Fully compatible with Frontend Dashboard forms.
Does not interfere with users who are already authenticated/admins (depending on your reCAPTCHA configuration).
Protects against form spamming, mass submissions, and bots.

Schema.org Rich Snippets Support Pro Addon

Listdom allows you to enhance your single listings with Schema.org rich data markup, helping search engines better understand your content and display rich snippets in search results. This leads to improved SEO, higher click-through rates, and better visibility in search engines like Google.

Assign a specific Schema Item Type (e.g. LocalBusiness, Event, JobPosting, RealEstateAgent) to each listing category. This tells search engines exactly what type of entity your listings represent.

Flexible Assignment Per Taxonomy
Schema types can be assigned at the category level, while schema properties can be linked to listing features or custom fields—making the schema integration both broad and granular.
Fully Compatible with Custom Fields System
Since custom fields replace traditional attributes in Listdom, schema property mappings work seamlessly with your unlimited and dynamic field structures.

Ranking and Score Integration Rank Addon

⚙️ Ranking and Score Integration

With Listdom’s Rank Add-on, you can assign scores to listings—either manually or based on user activity—and use those scores to sort, filter, or feature high-performing listings. This system enhances credibility, helps users find top-rated entries faster, and introduces gamified engagement for listing owners.

✅ Key Capabilities:

Assign Manual or Calculated Ranking Scores
Listings can be ranked with a numerical score (e.g. 4.8, 92/100) either:
- Manually by admins
- Automatically based on logic such as reviews, views, or custom integrations
Use in Search Sorting and Filters
Rank values can be used to:
- Sort listings from highest to lowest score
- Filter listings to only show those within a score range (e.g. 80–100)
Display Rank Value on Frontend
Show the rank as a visual badge, icon, or numerical value on:
- Listing cards
- Single listing pages
- Widgets or skins that support custom overlays

Top-Up System Top Up Addon

The Top-Up Addon in Listdom allows listing authors to boost the visibility of their listings by placing them at the top of listing views. This feature is ideal for monetized directories where priority exposure can be offered as a paid upgrade, using WooCommerce for seamless payment processing.

💡 What It Does

Manual Top-Up: Users can purchase top-up visibility from their Frontend Dashboard. Once paid, their listing jumps to the top.
Automatic Top-Up: Admins can optionally enable auto top-up for newly published listings, ensuring new content always appears first.

🛒 WooCommerce Integration

The addon integrates with WooCommerce, giving access to all supported payment gateways and flexible checkout management.

Key WooCommerce settings include:

Auto Order Complete: Automatically marks orders as completed after payment, activating the top-up instantly.

👤 User Experience (Frontend)

From the Frontend Dashboard, users will see a Top-Up icon beside each listing they own.
Clicking it opens a checkout page showing the price.
After payment (with reCAPTCHA enabled), the listing is upgraded and moved to the top—sorted by “Top-Up Date.”

📊 Sorting Behavior

To make use of Top-Up priority:

Configure your shortcodes to sort by Top-Up Date.
This places top-up listings above others until newer ones are topped up or auto-topped-up.

Admins can control whether this sorting option is visible or hidden per shortcode.

Create modern, responsive search forms without writing a single line of code. With Listdom’s visual Search & Filter Form Builder, you can drag and drop fields, arrange them in rows and columns, and customize how users interact with your filters. Want to keep things clean?

✅ Works seamlessly with all Listdom skins
✅ Improves usability on both desktop and mobile

Full-Text Smart Search (Titles, Categories & More) APS Addon

Labels

This results in broader, more relevant search results — great for content-heavy directories or classifieds.

Your directory may use different types of content — and Listdom supports all of them. You can include multiple fields in any form to allow filtering by:

Category
Location
Features
Tags
Labels
Price

Address
Booking data (Dates, Guests)
Any custom or ACF field

Everything is highly customizable: dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, input boxes, and range sliders.

✅ Target a specific skin shortcode
✅ Use the same form for multiple skins
✅ Display applied filters as visual “criteria”

Perfect for advanced or niche directories with multiple content views.

Use Auto-Locate for Localized Search Pro Addon

✅ Choose meters, kilometers, or miles
✅ Use with address input or GPS

Use Custom Listing Fields as Filters

Have unique data like “Speed,” “Seats,” or “Rooms”? You can create attributes and add them directly to the search form.

✅ Tailor searches to your industry (cars, jobs, real estate, etc.)

In addition to WPML, Listdom is also compatible with PolyLang, another popular multilingual plugin for WordPress. This provides flexibility in choosing the translation tool that best fits your needs.

RTL (Right to Left)

Understanding the importance of catering to languages that read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian, Listdom offers full RTL support. This ensures that your website’s layout and design remain consistent and user-friendly for RTL language speakers.
