Benefits – Benefits – Benefits
Having a review done by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website, as was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows. The traffic stayed, so there are great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z. Submit Your Plugin Here.

Today I am reviewing four great plugins.
John
Web Directory Free
https://codecanyon.net/item/web-20-directory-plugin-for-wordpress/6463373?ref=shamalli
https://wordpress.org/plugins/web-directory-free/
The Lowdown:
This is a freemium plugin that will allow you to create a web directory or a classified website. You could even use it to expand your current website out a bit.
The free version is pretty decent but you will need the premium if you want to collect cash off the site.
One big advantage with this plugin is the ability to import and export CSV files.
It uses short codes to create the pages you need so simplifies everything. This is a good simple way to get a webdirectory..
Rating 4 Dragons
WP Geo Directory
https://wpgeodirectory.com/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/geodirectory/
The Lowdown:
This is a freemium plugin to allow you to create a webdirectory or a business listings directory. The free version give you the basics you need for a simple site but to get the full function you will need to buy additional addons and maybe use a theme they have created just for this plugin.
You can build a local directory from a single location ex. neighborhood, city, addons let you do multiple cities.
Visitors can add thier own listings, user reviews and more this is a pretty good basic directory plugin and can be expanded out.
If your a developer you can add to it yourself using the hooks and filters and build your own addons for it as needed.
One big advantage with this plugin is the ability to import and export CSV files.

Advanced Browser Check
https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-browser-check/
The Lowdown:
Not allot of use for this plugin and it is kinda old but still works well. I recently needed it for a client who is getting hit by old browsers and they were complaining that they could not use the site properly. We add this plugin to let people know they need a modern browser to be able to properly use their website. It covers and tests all browsers and you can select what you recommend.
