NexDirectory
What it is
NexDirectory is a self-hosted WordPress platform for publishing, discovering, and managing structured listing sites. Starter profiles cover events, local directories, job boards, and marketplaces, with one active profile per WordPress installation. Visitors can search by keyword, taxonomy, date, price, city, and distance, then use archive, map, or calendar views. The free core includes unlimited submissions, approval queues, claims, and anti-spam controls. CSV and JSON imports support files up to 5,000 rows with mapping suggestions, previews, and duplicate skipping. Map configurations can use OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, or Google, with location search, map bounds, and marker clustering. Free access includes core REST endpoints and extension points. Pro adds IndexNow Search Push, domain verification, completion hooks, and payment or Event Web App webhooks, but its commercial price and terms are not published. An optional Chrome Scanner sends event details from permitted pages to WordPress as reviewable drafts or pending listings. Listings and settings remain in WordPress, while optional services may process data under their own terms.
