Swift and expert coding!
Swift and expert coding by Kerit to apply a personalised display adjustment on the Reign Theme for a media plugin that was not fully supported at the moment.
Business directory
Build a WordPress business directory with community features
A directory of places or businesses with member submissions, reviews, and a social feed. Listora runs the listings free and Reign styles them. If your directory already runs on GeoDirectory, the Reign GeoDirectory Addon styles every directory surface instead.
The Reign theme is the only thing you have to buy. See every plugin that installs free, or have us install the whole stack for $699.
Stack recipe
What you need to assemble.
Buy the theme. Install our plugins free. The third-party engine and its Reign add-on are here for people already running that stack, not a second bill everyone pays.
Build it in 5 steps
From zero to live community.
01
Install Reign, the one purchase
Reign is $99 a year or $249 once for a single site. Nothing else in this recipe is compulsory.
02
Add the community engine, free
BuddyNext gives listing owners and visitors profiles, an activity feed, and messages at no cost, so listings belong to members rather than floating free. Already on BuddyPress or BuddyBoss? Reign styles that too, and the BuddyPress Community Bundle adds our Pro community plugins from $249 a year.
03
Add listings with Listora, free
Listora handles listings, categories, search, and member submissions in the free version. Pro adds maps, claim and verify, paid listings, and reviews from $69 a year, which covers the monetization step when you get there.
04
Already on GeoDirectory? Style it instead
GeoDirectory keeps your listings, categories, and maps exactly as they are. Add the Reign GeoDirectory Addon ($39 a year for one site) and the archives and single-listing pages adopt Reign tokens. GeoDirectory pricing add-ons still sell your listing tiers.
05
Seed the first 50 listings
Nobody submits to an empty directory. Import 50 listings yourself from public sources such as government registers or the Google Places API, respecting each source license, before you tell anyone the site exists.
Add these free
More pieces you can add at no cost.
Same team builds the theme and the plugins, so these inherit the Reign design instead of needing custom CSS. The ones marked free install at no cost, and upgrades are sold per plugin, so nothing here needs a bundle.

FAQ
Common questions.
Listora or GeoDirectory?
Listora is ours, installs free, and is styled by Reign directly, so it is the cheaper way to test whether a directory has an audience. GeoDirectory has deeper map integration and multi-CPT support, and Reign styles it with a $39-a-year add-on. Start with Listora unless you already run GeoDirectory.
How do I make money from a directory?
Listora Pro sells paid listings and adds claim and verify plus reviews from $69 a year. On the GeoDirectory path, the Pricing Manager sells free, featured, and sponsored tiers. Either way, charge only once the directory has traffic worth paying for.
What does this cost to run?
Reign at $99 a year or $249 lifetime, plus free plugins. Add $69 a year for Listora Pro when you monetize, or $39 a year for the Reign GeoDirectory Addon on that path. The Reign GeoDirectory kit bundles the theme and add-on from $129 a year.
Ship it
Reign is the only thing you have to buy.
Listora and the rest of our plugins install free, and the theme styles them out of the box. Building on GeoDirectory instead? The Reign GeoDirectory kit ships the theme with the matching Reign add-on.
