Listdom Reviews

This arrived at just the right time. I have a vision for a business directory and I was on the hunt for something to power it. Obviously I'd contemplated ACF and Metabox, but if the directory scaled to where I aim for it, ACF and Metabox might not be the most efficient backbone for the site.

Listom arrived on AppSumo and I had to give it try, then I spotted they were about to launch a Bricks Builder addon to integrate with Bricks' dynamic data features. SOLD.

Once that arrived, Listdom became perfect for my needs as it removed my only critic of Listdom and that is the (in my opinion) ugly and lacking in customisation built in elements.

I'm now able to build a directory website, with Listdom as the backbone but entirely invisible on the front end.

I've spoken with the team behind it about some issues and suggestions and they've been superb with their responses and I'm hoping some of my suggestions are chosen for the future (especially the ACF addon being able to recognised ACFPro when it's been bundled with another plugin or theme).

If you're looking for a directory backbone for your website, Listdom should absolutely be on your list.

Solid Directory Plugin With Room to Improve the UI

Hello, I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Listdom. I hesitated a little before purchasing the plugin, so I took time to read online reviews and watch several YouTube videos before deciding.

After installing it, I’m happy to say the plugin is working well on my site. I have not had any compatibility issues with my Astra theme, and overall, I really like the plugin. The pagination works great, the listings display nicely, and most importantly, the plugin feels solid and not buggy.

For context, my setup includes the free Listdom plugin, the Pro Add-on, Excel Importer, and Bridge Add-on.

That said, I do think there is room to improve the usability and organization of the settings. Some areas were a bit confusing for me, especially the General settings, Customizer, Single Listing options, category styles, and style settings. The gear icons for elements seem to lead to different options, but there is not much explanation about what each setting controls.

I also had trouble finding where to manage the social share icons for the shortcodes I created. It would be very helpful to have clearer global settings, along with more shortcode-level controls to enable or disable specific elements depending on how each shortcode is being used.

I would also love to see more flexibility with the import option. It would be very helpful to have the ability to import listings as drafts only, instead of publishing them right away. This would give users more control to review, edit, and clean up imported listings before making them live on the site.

The sorting options within the shortcodes also feel a bit limited. Another feature I would love to see is a simple “back to listings” option after someone clicks into an individual listing. Currently, the breadcrumbs take users back to Home or to the listing category, but not necessarily back to the main listing page created with the shortcode.

Even with these challenges, I am giving Listdom 5 stars because the plugin itself is solid. It works well, it is compatible with Astra, and once the listings or resources are displayed, the result looks very good. It reminds me of another directory plugin I used, but Listdom has been a much better fit for my current setup.

I do recommend this plugin. The company has clearly put effort into documentation and features, and I hope they continue improving the user interface, shortcode controls, and style options. I will also reach out to support to ask how I can manage the social share icons within different shortcodes, since I may want them displayed in some areas but not others.

Maybe I need to enable the Business Directory Tool Kit to see if I have more control over the elements that I have but this review is based on the tools I have installed and tested so far.

Overall, Listdom is a strong plugin. Definitely love how beautiful my listings are displaying. So, yes I do recommend this plugin! I found it by chance here in Appsume when I typed "directory" I am a bit surprised it doesn't more visibility!

This is a buggy piece of software. Be careful. You're buying Listdom, but their system didn't recognize my account and is VERY FRUSTRATING.

There's also zero support - unless you don't like speaking to a human. DIY. They make it hard for you to submit a ticket. It's all not worth it to me.

I am refunding.

After already work with another similar plugin I can say this is complete. It offers all you need for creating fully functional and clear UI looking directory. Paired with a good theme it gives you all the options you need just with Gutenberg. Enabling just what you use it work fast, no errors at all and good logic behind. 5 tacos without doubts. You deserve to be more promoted!
