Migrating a directory site to a new platform can be daunting, but Listdom Bridge makes it seamless. This add-on automatically converts listings from your existing directory/classified plugin into Listdom’s native format, so you don’t have to rebuild or re-enter data manually. It brings over all your important listing content — including details, categories, images, and even map locations — ensuring nothing is left behind, and all imported items become full-fledged Listdom listings ready to manage and display.
Key features include:
- Effortless migration from other plugins: Import listings directly from several popular WordPress directory and classifieds plugins (Business Directory, Classified Listing, Directorist, HivePress, WP GeoDirectory, WP Go Maps, etc.) via a simple interface in your WordPress dashboard, with just a few clicks.
- Comprehensive data transfer: Automatically maps all essential listing fields (title, description, categories, tags, locations, contact info, images, geo-coordinates, etc.) into Listdom’s structure during import.
- Advanced map support: Carries over map markers and even drawn shapes (circles, polygons, polylines, etc.) from supported mapping plugins into Listdom’s map system, so you retain your location data and custom maps.
- Safe & non-destructive: The import is non-destructive – your source plugin’s content remains untouched. Listdom Bridge simply copies your listings into Listdom, so no data is lost or overwritten in the transition.
- Reliable large-scale import: Handles large numbers of listings by running the migration in batches to prevent timeouts, with real-time progress indicators to show you the status. This ensures even big directories migrate smoothly without server issues.
- No technical skills required: Fully integrated into the WordPress admin UI – just select your source plugin and click “Import.” There’s no need for manual CSV files or complex setup, making it accessible to any user.
- Completely free: Listdom Bridge is provided at no cost. It’s an official addon from Webilia, so you can upgrade to Listdom without any extra fees while trusting that each supported plugin has a tailored migration routine for accuracy.
Who Is It For?
Listdom Bridge is ideal for anyone looking to transition to Listdom from another listing platform or consolidate multiple directory sites into one. If you’re a site owner moving to Listdom to take advantage of its modern features, this add-on saves you from re-entering all your existing listings manually. It’s also a valuable tool for developers and agencies merging client data from different directory plugins into a single Listdom-powered site. In short, anyone who needs a quick, hassle-free way to preserve and transfer their directory content into Listdom will find the Bridge addon invaluable.
