What Is GeoDirectory: List Manager?
GeoDirectory: List Manager is developed by Geo Directory and is a directory plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the directory category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for location-based websites.
The plugin solves the problem of static directories by allowing users to interact deeply with content through saved collections. It is designed for directory owners who want to mimic the user engagement features found on major platforms like Yelp.
GeoDirectory: List Manager Features
The feature set is built around user-generated content and social curation within a directory environment.
Custom Lists and Collections
Users can create an unlimited number of lists with custom titles and descriptions. This allows for specific categorizations like “Must-try Italian Restaurants” or “Summer Events 2024.” The plugin goes beyond simple bookmarks by supporting multiple Custom Post Types (CPTs) within a single list, especially when used with the GeoDirectory CPT add-on.
Privacy and Sharing Controls
List Manager includes granular privacy settings for every user-created collection. Lists can be set to public, allowing other visitors to browse them, or kept private for personal use. Even private lists can be shared with specific individuals via a unique URL, facilitating collaboration on travel plans or event itineraries.
Gutenberg and Shortcode Integration
The “Add to List” functionality is highly accessible for site builders. Developers can place the action button using a dedicated Gutenberg block, a WordPress widget, or a shortcode anywhere on a listing page. Outputting the saved lists is handled through a new page template that supports both blocks and shortcodes for design flexibility.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the standalone extension varies based on site license requirements. Check current pricing on the List Manager sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Site | $29.00 | 1 Site | Plugin + 1 Year Updates |
| 2 – 5 Sites | $39.00 | 5 Sites | Plugin + 1 Year Updates |
| Unlimited Sites | $69.00 | Unlimited | Plugin + 1 Year Updates |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | List Manager + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers List Manager plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.
