Capability family
Define each listing as a structured directory record, then organize it by subject, place, keywords, distinguishing characteristics, and the details that matter in your niche. This core foundation gives builders a consistent inventory model before they configure visitor discovery, owner workflows, or selected extensions.
Built for
Directory builders, publishers, and operators deciding what every listing should contain and how visitors will browse it.
The problem
Generic WordPress posts do not clearly model a directory’s listing types, geographic context, attributes, or browse paths.
Why it matters
A consistent listing model helps operators maintain reliable inventory and gives visitors clearer ways to understand, browse, and compare relevant listings.
What you can put to work
Use core listing records for the directory inventory, combining content, media, address or coordinate context, and related terms or field data. Builders can define the information a business, property, service, or other listing type needs instead of forcing every record into an unstructured post format.
Learn how it works →Use categories for subject, locations for geography, tags for keyword connections, features for distinguishing characteristics, and labels for visible listing markers. These core terms help operators organize inventory consistently and give visitors meaningful browse paths before they start a search.
Learn how it works →Add core custom fields and attributes for vertical-specific details such as amenities, specifications, dates, or contact information. Configure fields for the appropriate listing categories, use them on submission and listing pages, and include them in discovery workflows where the selected field and search configuration support it.
Learn how it works →Choose the ACF Addon when a project needs documented Advanced Custom Fields integration, or the Multiple Categories Addon when its category-assignment workflow requires it. These are optional extensions, not requirements for creating and organizing core Listdom listings.
