Hi can you confirm if this is a website theme or a plugin? I want to keep my Ocean WP theme but would like to use your directory feature
Hello. It seems there is a bug in the latest version… Top Ad or listing level change is not working anymore. When a listing is raised from free to top ad it does not work. Any suggestions?
Hello, is it become expired after raise up?
Hi. No, it just does not show on top as featured or top ad anymore when you change the ad level from basic to top ad or featured. It seems this issue started after the latest updates. Thanks!
But was the real level of that listing changed? It is still on free level after you click save button?
Under Listing Directories, when a listing is deleted, the associated images remain in the WordPress Media Library. The images uploaded with the listing should be automatically removed when the listing is permanently deleted. This is necessary to save disk space and to prevent having orphaned images or files stored on the server.
Kindly check if this code will solve the issue
/** * Auto delete unused images when a Web 2.0 Directory listing is permanently deleted */ add_action(‘before_delete_post’, ‘w20_cleanup_listing_images’);
function w20_cleanup_listing_images($post_id) { }
// Only target Web 2.0 Directory listing post type
if (get_post_type($post_id) !== 'w2dc_listing') {
return;
}// -- 1. Delete featured image --
$featured_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post_id);
if ($featured_id) {
wp_delete_attachment($featured_id, true);
}// -- 2. Delete gallery images (used by Web 2.0 Directory) --
$gallery = get_post_meta($post_id, '_w2dc_gallery', true);
if (!empty($gallery) && is_array($gallery)) {
foreach ($gallery as $image_id) {
wp_delete_attachment($image_id, true);
}
}// -- 3. Delete custom field images (if any) --
$custom_fields = get_post_meta($post_id);
if (!empty($custom_fields)) {
foreach ($custom_fields as $key => $values) {
foreach ($values as $value) {
}// If the value is an attachment ID, delete it
if (is_numeric($value) && get_post_type($value) === 'attachment') {
wp_delete_attachment(intval($value), true);
}
}
}In your previous message, you mentioned that support would be faster, yet I still haven’t received any response from you. Your support system is also not ticket-based, so users cannot track or check the status of their requests. It has now been five days with no reply from your support page: https://www.salephpscripts.com/support/
By default WordPress saves images attached to posts, even they have been deleted.
The best way is to use some kind of plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-cleaner/
Using this plugin media cleaner could potentially harm the website, as it may delete attached photos when searching for orphaned images. I’m using the Motor theme, and they provided me with a code snippet that automatically removes images from the media library whenever a listing is deleted.
I believe a similar code snippet should be available for your plugin as well—so that when a user deletes a listing, any media files attached to that listing are also removed.
Hello
Under Directory Admin > Content Fields, when creating a field group, selecting the option “Place this group on a separate tab on single listing pages” and then saving causes a fatal error. Please look into this issue.
Additionally, the directory categories display is overlapping and not fitting properly within its layout—the visual presentation is quite poor. Kindly investigate and resolve this as well.
Hello,
can you please give any screenshots and/or text explanation of these issues. I can not repeat any error on creating content fields group, nor on categories display no issues were found.
This is for category display issue https://pasteboard.co/CVsafx3YKP1s.png
This is for the content fieldgroup section https://pasteboard.co/64AsZ99KDGbY.png once you select /tick place this group on separate tab , it causes a fatal error
“Additionally, some search shortcodes are causing errors when used with Elementor. When these shortcodes are added, the Elementor page containing them cannot be edited unless the page is deleted or removed. The shortcode causing the issue is: [webdirectory-search form_id=”104722”]

Sorry for the delay,
Just released new version with the fix of “E_ERROR was caused in line 48 of the file” – this should fix the issue on content fields group creation. You need to update the plugin to the latest version v2.10.12
Okay. As of now, CodeCanyon has not made the update available yet. I’m not sure how long it will take—possibly a few hours—but I’ll keep checking the plugin section periodically to see when the update becomes available.
I also sent you an email through your support system, and it still hasn’t been attended to.
Plugin update was already published.
As I see your email contains the same questions as you placed here in comments.
My email contains alot of issue and which you only picked one out of many
Directory Plugin Issues — Assistance Needed to Resolve Multiple Conflicts
I’m currently experiencing several problems with my directory setup and would appreciate help troubleshooting them. Below is a detailed summary of each issue, along with video references demonstrating what’s happening.
❌ 1. Search Form Shortcode Causing a Fatal Error
When using the shortcode:
[webdirectory-search form_id=”104722”]
the site triggers a fatal error. Video demonstration: https://www.loom.com/share/c4d14a6175dd407094b66d4d1c9f7ae7❌ 2. Featured Image Not Displaying on Directory Listing Archives
The featured image does not appear on the directory archive/listing results page, even though it displays correctly on the single listing page. Video demonstration: https://www.loom.com/share/d6ad54ccc556460aa6a1f0a8a2179d93❌ 3. Listing Title Showing Even When Disabled in Settings
Despite disabling the title display in the directory settings, the listing title is still appearing on the frontend. Video demonstration: https://www.loom.com/share/3c3279f371d1476e81dbe08d119e2eb4❌ 4. Breadcrumb Conflict With the /w2dc_listing/ Slug
When clicking a breadcrumb that includes the /w2dc_listing/ slug, it does not link to the correct directory listing. Instead, it redirects to my car listings, which use the Motor theme. Video demonstration: https://www.loom.com/share/ce4efbca49ac44b09118778814cf9540Please how does this contain only one issue ?
Your plugin has been giving me sleepless night running into one problem or the other
1. search shortcode issue needs more details from errors log file, propaply it is related to error message you have sent before, if yes – then it should be fixed in update.
2. you need to enable logo images in Directory Admin -> LIstings levels settings.
3. and 4. as I see it is content rendered by your theme, probably there are some settings to disable it in your theme pages.
thank you
5) Hello, how can we update the plugin to the latest version? The update isn’t showing up. I’ve been checking for hours (screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/bUgognLlaOQO.png ), and even after refreshing and clearing the cache, no update appears. It’s still stuck on version 2.10.11.
6) How do I create or get the search box shown here: https://pasteboard.co/rkNf5QBjLqXo.png ? The version I created using the Elementor widget or the shortcode doesn’t look the same, and it also doesn’t work.
I would also like to remove the example tags such as “sport, business, event,” as well as the “Los Angeles, US Capital” text. How can I remove these?
Lastly, the search box still isn’t functioning correctly. Here is a screenshot of the issue: https://pasteboard.co/iq8GLO56u5In.png
Search box is conflicting with elementor searchbox on other pages search box are used
Is this how we need to work with a lot of errors? Your demo https://postimg.cc/wtw1DHqb
1 question before buying Stripe subscriptions work directly, or need to use WooCommerce for subscriptions?
2 Can you limit the fields in memberships by user roles in here? asking because I have a membership system based on user roles
Why do you ignore my message?
Sorry for the delay,
1. yes, subscriptions require WooCommerce subscriptions
2. there is only option to hide content fields from regular users and stay visible for admins.
If I install this plugin on a subdomain that runs WooCommerce, will users need to sign in or register before they can use it?
Or — can it function without requiring sign-in, allowing users to simply fill out a form, upload their files, and make payment as guests (without creating an account)
Yes, there is frontend submission and guest payments using WooCommerce.
Hello. Thanks for the support!
I think it would be great to have a loader icon or progress bar for the media (Photos) attachment. The way it is now, when you are attaching and uploading an image or photo, there are no signs that it’s uploading until it finishes uploading… Adding a loader icon or progress bar will help the user know whether their photos are being uploaded or not, or at least see the progress of the upload status.
Thank you!
Hello,
actually there is loader icon on images upload, both at the frontend listings submission and on admin backend.
Oh, OK… I guess I know what the issue may be on my end…
I have tried to get the CSS selector of the loader icon, but it seems to be a little tricky. Can you tell me what the selector is for the loader icon?
Thank you!
Never mind. I already found the selector.
If I load the plugin, it tells me it’s installing version 2.9.12, which is older than the one I’m currently using. How is this possible if an update was released yesterday?
I just realized that Download
- All files & documentation has version 2.10.11 - Installable WordPress file only has version 2.0.9
But there’s another mystery… I had the June 27, 2025 version, which already tells me it’s 2.10.11
Hi pre-purchase question I don’t want to use any map API’s is there an option to have the address then a link to direct them to google maps.
Hello, we just released new update with this option when no maps engine is used.

and in my files on my server in the images/locations-icons folder there are icons

Hello, we’ve just released new update with the fix of this issue. You need to update to v2.10.11

is there a way to not display the ?swLat=50.25786646908394&swLng=-10.668477171874997&neLat=54.60718634421251&neLng=6.887675171875003
so its just the domain name
Hi I sent 2 support messages and until now I have not receive any reply to my issue. What do I need to do to get a reply back with a solution to my problem?
Hello, I have replied to your emails several times. Also tried to send messages from different email services. Please check your inbox and spam folder.
This is the message I have sent:
Hello,
there are 2 settings you need to switch at the Advanced settings tab: https://www.salephpscripts.com/wordpress_directory/demo/documentation/settings/advanced/#miscellaneous“Enable imitation mode” – switch this On, this should fix the problem with categories pages. If not, then create new page with [webdirectory-category-page] shortcode – this will create separate template for categories pages.
“Overwrite WordPress page title by directory page title” – switch this Off, this should disable listing title in H1.
Also create new page with [webdirectory-listing-page] shortcode – this will be separate template for listings pages and will remove search form at the right side.
Regards, Mihail Chepovskiy. Wordpress Directory plugins development https://www.salephpscripts.comis your plugin compatible with stylemixthemes motor themes?
Hi, If I need to renew support, I will, but I have 1 question to which I cannot find the answer in documentation: I changed from Google Maps to Mapbox.
When I use the Mapbox default public token it works fine.
When I restrict the Mapbox token by entering the site’s url’s, filtering doesn’t work anymore. I added with and without www and http(s), no difference.
The debug page renders 403 forbidden.
Is there a special url that should be added to restrict the API token but keep functionality in tact?
thanks
PS the Mapbox documentation says this (see below) about url restrictions. Could it be that url restrictions are not possible with Web 2.0 Directory?
URL restrictions
403 errors from Terminal or Postman If you use an access token with URL restrictions to make a Mapbox API request in Terminal, Postman, or a similar tool, you will receive a 403 error since the request originated from an unauthorized URL. To run API requests in Terminal or Postman, use a token that does not have any URL restrictions.
Supports:
API requests that include a referer header Versions of Mapbox GL JS greater than or equal to 0.53.1 Up to 100 distinct URL restrictions per token Billable services listed on the pricing page Does not support:
Default access tokens Wildcard characters IP addresses Requests from websites with a noreferrer or same-origin Referrer policy Requests from mobile applications built with the Mapbox Maps or Navigation SDKs Requests from versions of Mapbox GL JS before 0.53.1 Requests from websites or browsers with privacy blocking extensions (including but not limited to Brave Shields and Ghostery)
Hello, would you please answer my question? This one: Could it be that url restrictions with Mapbox are not possible with Web 2.0 Directory?
Hello, no, this is not possible that url restrictions with MapBox do not work in the directory plugin. The problem with your URLs you have entered, or possible restrictions in your MapBox account.
please update the version :2.9.12 on codecanyon while wp asks for 2.10.9
Does this have s3 storage where pictures can be saved to the cloud? is this a standalone or it works with the current website login users? must your website be woocommerce before it can work ? what payment method is available for this plugin?
This is WordPress plugin, this works on your existing site or new installation as you wish it can be configured. Current website login users can submit listings as well as new users. You can install woocommerce as you wish to work with this payments system instead of 2 built-in payment methods: paypal and stripe.
Thank you Can i use paystack form as means of payment, my paystack form is already configured with paystack gateway and wallet option
Hello, If “paystack” means some kind of payments processor integrated with woocommerce, then yes, users can pay by this payment gateway.
Thank you How many demos does it have Does it have demo for Automobile ? Can i upload videos? Can all the images and videos be uploaded to cloud?

In addition to selling registration and listing in the web directory, can I sell Products Print on Demand like T-shirts(etc. clothing), Mugs, Hats etc. with on demand printdd graphics or pictures of local area of the town & harbour & beaches? By, Printify, Printful, Redbubble, TeePublic, Merch by Amazon.com…
C. About, license can i use this Plugin for one WP website www.aaaa.com … ? And one testing environment eg. Https://testing.aaaa.com…?
I meant WordPress Themes for this WordPress Plug-in, specifically for city or town, web directory …?
You can use any WP themes you wish, the plugin compatible with most of free themes and themes through the market, those follow WP coding standards.
Yes, you can sell any products on your directory.
Also it is possible to transfer the license from one domain to noahter after testing was completed.
Do you have this Plugin manual of use and setup in PDF format?
CityBook – Directory & Listing WordPress Theme, TownHub – Directory & Listing WordPress Theme, Guido – Directory Listing WordPress Theme, Fioxen – Directory Listing WordPress Theme, ApusListing – Directory & Listing WordPress Theme, Travolo – Travel & Tour Booking WordPress Theme,
All these themes are compatible? They are from elements.envato.com. Can have more than one theme installed and use one active at a time for this plug-in?
There is only online version of docs available https://www.salephpscripts.com/wordpress_directory/demo/documentation/
Unfortunately we did not test these themes, but I guess they should work. You can have any number of themes installed, but active theme only one.
The latter link says about Installation. Before installing, what other WP Plug-ins are required to be installed first?
Can you tell 2-3 WP Themes that have been tested with this WP Plugin?
My hosting quarantines this file
/wp-content/plugins/w2dc/search/plugin/search.php
Saying that the file is infected and without that file the plugin does not work.
I wrote you an email 2 days ago but no one has responded yet.
Before publishing codecanyon scans all files of the plugin. So I’d recommend you to install good antimalware soft on your pc, also check your hosting files, change password, e.t.c.
