Hello @zokkoz
Thanks for your suggestion! Currently, Directorist does not support multi-level URLs that include location and listing type structures like:site.com/listings/barbershops/us/maryland/montgomery/abc-barbershopAt the moment, you can only include the directory type in the single listing URL.
We don’t have an immediate plan to add this feature right now, but we truly appreciate your idea!
You can submit this request to our official roadmap here: https://directorist.com/roadmap/This will help our team consider it for future development based on user interest.
Regards,Hello @rlinux
Thanks for reporting this issue.Please follow the steps below to fix it:
Set up the Directorist pages correctly:
- Go to Admin Panel → Directorist Listings → Settings → Page Setup.
- Create all the required pages with their respective shortcodes.
- Assign each page properly in the settings.
Verify page shortcodes:
- Make sure each page includes the correct shortcode.
Reset permalinks:
- Go to Admin Panel → Settings → Permalinks.
- Select Post name as the structure.
- Click Save Changes to refresh the permalink structure.
These steps should fix the issue by resetting page recognition and URL mappings in Directorist.
If the issue still occurs after following these steps, please reach out to us via our official support channel, and we’ll be happy to check it directly on your website.

Thank you for asking. You cannot remove the prefix from the URL, but you can change it according to your preference. To do this, edit the “Single Category” page and update the page slug. Once saved, the URLs will be updated as well.

Kind RegardsHello @telinkens
Thank you so much for reaching out to us.
Just to clarify, when guest listing is enabled, Directorist system will always create a user account whenever someone submits a listing. This happens because every listing must be linked to a user profile, so they can edit/update the listings in future. So, if you’d like to avoid having new users created on your website, the best option is to disable guest listing submissions.
That said, we do have a workaround for you. Instead of creating a new user each time, you can connect guest listings directly to an existing admin account with a bit of custom coding. Please use the code below to set this up.
add_filter( 'directorist_should_create_guest_user_account', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'directorist_insert_listing_post_data', function( $post_data, $posted_data ){
if( isset( $posted_data['guest_user_email'] ) && ! empty( $posted_data['guest_user_email'] ) ) {
$post_data[ 'meta_input' ][ '_guest_user_email' ] = $posted_data['guest_user_email'];
}
$post_data[ 'post_author' ] = 1; // Please use the admin user id here
return $post_data;
}, 10, 2 );Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind regards,Hello
Thank you for reaching out.
I think you are using the Pricing Plan extension and the fields are not allowed in the pricing plan you have attached to the listing. If not, please contact to the support channel here – https://prnt.sc/cKSW-z2RTXrs. They will solve the issue on your website.
Kind regards,Hello @fedeflooro
Thank you for asking.
- Is it safe to delete the cron event?
– Yes, absolutely safe if you’re not running any gallery imports. It won’t affect normal Directorist Gallery functionality. - Will it recreate automatically?
– Yes, the Directorist Gallery extension will automatically recreate it when you start new CSV imports with gallery images.
Please let me know if you have more queries.
Kind Regards,
Hi @fedeflooro
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
To clarify your questions:
- Is it normal for this cron to be set to run every second?
No, it is not normal. Running a cron every second is not suitable for WordPress and can potentially overload the server. - What exactly does this function do, and in which cases is it required?
The functiondirectorist_gallery_import_cronis used to import gallery images for the Directorist plugin. It is typically required after a bulk import or during a data migration process. - Can I safely increase the interval (e.g., every 5 minutes) without affecting the plugin’s functionality?
Yes, you can safely increase the interval to 5 minutes or more. This will not affect the normal functionality of the plugin and will also help reduce server load.
That said, we recognize there is room for improvement in how this cron job is handled. Our team has plans to optimize this in a future update to prevent such issues.
Please let us know if you’d like guidance on adjusting the cron interval, and we’ll be happy to help.
Best regards
Hi @dejman
Thank you for reaching out. I will submit a request to our product team to include TikTok and Threads in the list of social media links for listing pages. These links may be added in the future if we receive enough similar requests.
In the meantime, we do have an unofficial extension that already includes many social media links, including TikTok and Threads. You’re welcome to use that if you’d like.

Hi @kodon
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We genuinely appreciate all kinds of user insights, both positive and critical, as they help us improve Directorist every day.It’s true that after releasing version 8, we encountered some technical challenges that unfortunately led to a few negative reviews and user dissatisfaction. However, we’ve resolved those issues, and the plugin is now stable and running smoothly. If you’re still experiencing any problems, please don’t hesitate to open a support topic on the forum. We’d be more than happy to assist you in resolving any issues on your website.
Also, just to clarify, we never ask for reviews in exchange for support. That’s not our policy, and frankly, it wouldn’t make sense, as it could easily result in negative reviews. Our support team is committed to helping all users, regardless of reviews.

Hi @fedeflooro
Thank you for highlighting the other issues regarding the listing submission layout, CSS selectors, listing widgets, and more.
We understand your frustration. When we introduced version 8, some architectural changes caused these unexpected issues. We’re aware that these changes affected things like layout control, CSS behavior, and widget styling.
To provide you with the best possible assistance, we recommend creating a support ticket (https://prnt.sc/cKSW-z2RTXrs). Our team will review your website setup and help resolve these issues. If necessary, we’ll also provide custom code solutions tailored to your needs.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve the platform.
RegardsHello @fedeflooro
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns.
We have carefully tested all the shortcode parameters you mentioned. Currently, only the
advanced_filterparameter is not working as expected. This is because we have introduced a new setting in the admin panel to control the filter display. You can find these options here: https://prnt.sc/YOgXSOmBwUKU. We recommend checking them out—they may help you achieve the layout you’re looking for.We also want to let you know that new parameters like
sidebar="no_sidebar"have been introduced in version 8, but we haven’t added them to the official documentation yet. We are actively working on this and plan to release a full list of supported shortcode parameters very soon.Additionally, we are planning to introduce more shortcode options so users can control features more flexibly on a per-shortcode basis.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we truly appreciate your patience as we continue improving Directorist.
Regards,Hello @themesartist
Thank you for reaching out. Please try the following shortcode, I believe it will fulfill your requirements.
[directorist_all_listing view=”grid” listings_per_page=”8″ header=”no” columns=”4″ advanced_filter=”no” show_pagination=”no” sidebar="no_sidebar"]Please let me know if you need further assistance.
