Perfect Solution for Us
My publication tried out 7 or 8 different plug-ins on our Dev site before settling on Connections Pro, and we’re 100 percent certain we made the right choice. The plug-in was easy for our core people to learn, and very responsive to our tweaks and [...]customizations. It also has been easy to train our ancillary team members on their directory-specific tasks. The online documentation is very helpful, and the tech support has been insanely good.We're a small company with limited resources. Connections Pro has
enabled us to add capacity without busting our (tight) budgets. Perfect solution for us. Read more »

Full-Featured Membership Management Solution
I'm impressed with the integration of features that this solution provides. The capabilities go well beyond just a directory. As an example, there are multiple ways to protect the privacy of email addresses. I'm using the Contact extension which provides a [...]form to email any member in the directory. I also like the Form extension which enables people to apply to be listed in the directory. These membership applications can then send submission notifications for approval by a site administrator.
There is a learning curve to using the Connections plugin, but I have found the Support to be responsive within 24 hours and often multiple times in the same day. It's helpful to know CSS or to use a text-replacement plugin to fine-tune the user interface.
I bought the Extension Pro Pack and feel it was money well-spent. I'm also using a beta version of software which provides improved search and filtering across multiple categories. The author considered one of my suggestions and indicated that it will be
included in future. Read more »

Best Wordpress Directory Plugin
Connections Business Directory is the best directory plugin that is out there. I did the research (I tried pretty much all of them) and if you want something for a local directory that can list and search businesses, organizations, or community services, then [...]this is the plugin you need.
The support is great and fast, even if you just get the free version. I urge you to try it out with the free version and then you will want to get a template and some of the extensions.They are very affordable and almost a steal with the support you get.I'm
using the cMap template and was able to customize with the amazing support team to fit exactly what I needed.
Documentation is great and there are tons of extensions that you can also add to this plugin and the cost is extremely affordable. Add in the stellar support and this is the best Directory plugin I could have hoped for! Look no further, just give this plugin a
try. Read more »

amazing support
I started working with associations a few years ago, and when I was asked about adding a member directory, I searched and found Steven's plugin. Although the install and set up is straightforward, I sometime found myself with questions that I could not seen to [...]figure out. Steven has always been available (do upgrade to the pro support, you'll never regret it) and patient with my questions and concerns. I now have 3 associations using the plugin, and 2 more are getting approvals to get the directories added.The
software is truly amazing, and the support is off the charts. Thanks Steven! Read more »
