What Is Directorist – Listings With Map?
Directorist – Listings With Map is developed by Directorist Extensions and is a directory extension plugin for WordPress. Released in December 2019, it provides specific spatial layouts for listings, categories, and location-based search results. It belongs to the directory category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for local business portals and niche marketplaces.
The extension solves the issue of users having to toggle between map views and list views by placing them in a unified interface. It is designed for directory owners who want to offer a modern, map-centric browsing experience similar to Yelp or Airbnb.
Directorist – Listings With Map Features
The feature set is built around providing responsive, side-by-side layouts that synchronize search filters with map markers.
Interactive Mapping Systems
The plugin supports two major mapping infrastructure options: Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. This flexibility allows site owners to choose between the feature-rich Google ecosystem or the open-source data of OpenStreetMap. Real-time synchronization ensures that as users interact with the map, the relevant directory listings update accordingly.
Advanced Column Layouts
Listings With Map introduces two primary layout configurations. The Two-Column View places the filter and listing sections on the left with a large map on the right. The Three-Column View arranges the search filters, listing results, and interactive map in three distinct vertical columns for maximum information density. These layouts apply to search results, category archives, and location pages.
User-Friendly Customization
Admins can toggle specific elements on or off, such as showing listings with or without the map. These settings are accessible via the WordPress dashboard under Directory Listings and enable refined control over how markers and pop-ups appear. The extension integrates with the existing Directorist search form, making filter applications instantaneous on the map interface.

Retail pricing for the extension starts at $39.00 per year for a single site, while multi-site options range up to $99.00. Check current pricing on the Listings With Map sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
