REST API & Template Overrides.

Full CRUD endpoints with authentication, filtering, and pagination. Override any template from your theme, the same way WooCommerce does it.

  • Full REST API with WordPress authentication and filtering
  • Template hierarchy with theme-level overrides
  • Action and filter hooks at every render point

Modular by Design

Install only what you need. Each module hooks into the core plugin and adds its own fields, templates, and features.

DamDir Directory

The core plugin handles field registration, search, submissions, reviews, and the REST API. Modules build on top of it for specific directory types.

  • 24 field types with extensible registration
  • Frontend submission forms with validation
  • Review and rating system with moderation
  • Full REST API with authentication and filtering
Single listing page showing details, contact form, and reviews

Built for Developers

Register a custom module in under 10 lines of PHP. Extend everything else with hooks.

my-module.php 
add_action('apd_modules_init', function($modules) {
    $modules->register('my-module', [
        'name'    => 'My Custom Module',
        'version' => '1.0.0',
        'requires_core' => '1.0.0',
    ]);
});
single-apd_listing.php 
$listing = apd_get_listing();

echo $listing->field('business_name');
echo $listing->field('phone');
echo $listing->rating();
echo $listing->reviews_count();
