GeoDirectory List Manager

GeoDirectory List Manager is an official add-on of the GeoDirectory ecosystem, developed by AyeCode, that allows users to create, organize, and share custom lists of places, businesses, and events within a WordPress directory. Inspired by Yelp's collections section, this add-on transforms the basic concept of favorites into a social and collaborative tool that enriches the experience of any directory site.

With List Manager, visitors can create unlimited lists with custom titles and descriptions, and decide whether they want them to be public or private. Public lists can be explored by the entire community, while private ones remain hidden but can be shared via a unique URL. This flexibility opens up a range of possibilities: from travel itineraries and restaurant guides to thematic collections of events, favorite place markers, or user-curated recommendations.

The add-on integrates natively with GeoDirectory listings and events, allowing multiple locations, venues, or events to be grouped into a single organized list. Additionally, thanks to compatibility with the Custom Post Types add-on, it is possible to include various types of custom content within the same list, further expanding its versatility.

The add-to-list functionality is available in three formats: shortcode, widget, and Gutenberg block, making it easy to place anywhere on the site without requiring technical knowledge. The list output is presented through a dedicated page template, also created with shortcodes or blocks, offering total control over design and presentation.

This add-on is ideal for local business directories, travel guides, event platforms, professional portals, and any community site where users want to curate and share their own recommendations. By encouraging active visitor participation, List Manager increases dwell time, generates user-generated content, and builds a more engaged community around the directory.

To function, it requires the GeoDirectory plugin 2.3 or higher and the Posts 2 Posts plugin 1.7 or later. With simple installation and minimal configuration, List Manager becomes a key piece to differentiate your directory and offer a richer, more personalized experience to your users.
