Hello xphp – hope you are well. On Envato it said there was a update on the 6th June 2025, but it appears to be the same files released on v.3.53 21 February, 2025?
To anyone else potentially buying this script I would like to just say it is amazing and the author is very supportive!
Hi 123Simples,
The v.3.53 version released on June 6th just fixes a typo on line 105 of the file ‘results.php’, that’s the only file that was changed.
Thanks for recommending the script 
regards
Hi xphp – you are most welcome the script is on point for sure!
Is it possible to turn it into software directory.
Hi opiniontime15,
This script is mostly for location based businesses. If you don’t need features such as maps, then maybe my other script “Classifieds Plus” will work for you: https://codecanyon.net/item/classifiedsplus-classified-ads-cms/22790421
But even then it would require some template editing to hide things like “city” information.

I would like to make a couple of suggestions. 1) Allow the administrator to add listings from the admin, without having to choose a plan every time a listing is created.
2) Plans need to be much more configurable to be more profitable, basically being able to control everything the submitter is doing. For example, you should be able to have one plan that allows a person to submit basic information (like for free), then a second plan if you want to allow them to add a logo (say $10), then a third plan which would allow them to add a logo and photos (say $25), then a forth option, which gives all the benefits, plus makes them a featured listing (say $50).
Hi gahinton,
1) Choosing a plan allows the admin to define a listing as featured. Skipping this step would only save one click, is your intention just to make the listing creation by the admin faster?
2) more configurable plans would certainly be nice.

Adding additional admins to back end. How do I add an additional admin to the back end. Not seeing any settings to add, upgrade a user etc… I have this installed for my client and want to make sure to have my own access seperate from theirs. They need to have same access to manage.
Hi Livewiremaxx,
You can add this snippet in your ‘inc/my-functions.php’ file:
if($userid == xx) $is_admin = true;
change xx with the user id that you want to add as admin.

Pre-Sale Question: Can the admin upgrade rate plan ie from free 30days to 365 membership? without triggering a payment? I tell a customer sign up a 30 free plan once I see there info as admin I upgrade to a higher plan? Thanks
Hi sharktankstore,
It’s not possible to change the plan’s rate or price, mostly because it would require changing details at Paypal/Stripe and it would probably require some action by the user. I think it’s possible to create plans like first 30 days free, but this is not implemented in the script, maybe possible if you know how to manually edit the generated payment buttons.

Free inclusions – So I am using the directory as a memborship business directory where only members invited will be to be included in the directory. I have set up a 0.00 free plan, I do not currently expect to usse PaPal as it will be free. When the member clicks on the plan even though it says 0.00 it wants to pay with PayPal etc… to complete. Suggestions?
Hi Livewiremaxx,
This only happens when the plan type is not set to “Free”, the plan type is defined when you create the plan. It’s not possible to edit the plan type after you create it, need to create a new plan.

Gotcha, some how I must have missed doing that when testing. Thanks! This is a great script
I seem to be getting errors when migrating the website? The message says it wasn’t installed, but it’s a straight migration. Is there a migration guide? Thanks

Hello, Can the blog section appear somewhere on the homepage ? It looks as if all blogs are only displayed on a different page other than the homepage.
Thank you.

PHP 8.2 and 8.3 there are errors when signing up as a new user:
File: register.php Error: Function utf8_encode() is depreciated Line:176 File: register.php
Please send me an email, this error is already fixed but not pushed to a new update yet. I will submit a new version(3.53) to Codecanyon later today.
Is there a place we can we edit the placeholder text in the admin area or do we have to look in the db?
Yes in Admin -> Language
Hello, I am making a directory for my town. We only need a single town/city. On the homepage how can i have the default city set to my town, instead of the user having to write it? I am moderatley capable with coding, but I would really appreciate your expertise. Thanks
Ignore, I have sorted it through a few lines of code. Thanks
Hello, it suports php 8.2 and it has cataloges of blog.????
Hi TonyHoang80,
Yes, PHP 8 is supported, tested up to 8.3.
It doesn’t have blog categories though.

In each plan, this script has limit images or vides for it, doesn’t it?
no, admin can limit the number of images per listing but that is for all plans. All plan types share the same limit.
Hi, Your demo. 404 error using the search bar. For example if you search New York.
Please can you check? Search function doesn’t seem to work.
Hi rickiesee,
I was making some changes last week and it caused this bug, thank you for informing me, it’s fixed now.

How do you edit/remove fields on the “Create Listing” page?
Not the custom fields but the ones that are hard coded.
Hi sebastya,
It’s possible to remove then by editing the corresponding template file, tpl-create-listing.php
regards
Ok but it generates errors when I remove them and a user clicks Submit Listing:
SQLSTATE42000: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ’’ at line 1 Listing was not created
Just a FYI for future updates.
So maybe you removed some unrelated code. Removing non-hidden input fields should not cause a problem.
sorry if this question has already been asked. I have an existing website that is not a business directory. how hard would it be to show featured business listings on other pages?
Hi endtimespsalms,
Not difficult if you know how to query the database using PHP/Mysql, it would basically require querying the database and showing the results formatted in HTML.
