Directory Theme for Wordpress site, can anyone tell me a good one?

[mistyone]

Would anyone have a complete set of 'incircle' wordpress theme. I have downloaded the theme from 3 different sites but each one seems to be missing the template file, which is preventing me from being able to activate the theme.

In the read me file, I found an email address of the coder for the theme and I emailed him but I have not received any reply. I have also contacted the site iguides.org asking them if they can provide me with a complete set of files for this theme.

This is one site that has the download link: inCircle - Free phpLD Template for version 3.3.0 | Elegant WP Themes

I wonder if someone was to download it and try to activate it in their wordpress site to see if they have the same problem. Maybe it is something that is happening at my end???

I have converted a directory site that had stopped allowing people to add their website to it, to a wordpress site and I was wanting to use the 'incircle' theme because it is a directory theme but each download seems to be missing a template that will allow it to be activated.

The alternative for me would be if anyone knows of another theme that is a directory theme for my wordpress site?

Seriously though I would love it if someone could offer me a solution to my dilemma

This won't work on a straight Wordpress installation because it is a PHPLD template, not a Wordpress theme. These aren't going to work at all on Wordpress unless you majorly hack them up. As far as a good "directory theme" for Wordpress... I haven't found one yet. I was looking a while back for a site of mine and couldn't find a great solution. I ended up matching up PHPLD with Wordpress so they looked pretty seamless, but they were both installed in different directories on my site.

Hi Michael

Thanks for coming to my rescue

I am disappointed to hear that the theme isn't a wordpress theme. I converted this site over because I thought I had a theme to use. My domain name is mylink2dotcom and it was starting to receive really good traffic but then it went and broke itself and I couldn't afford to fix it, so now I have traffic going to a site that can't accept listings

I am a complete tech newb and I can't fix these things or do what you said you did so I guess I will just have to try and make the best of the domain name and keep looking and hoping that someone codes a wordpress directory theme

Cheers

Viv,

If you do a search for link directory plugins here, you might find something that will work for you:

WordPress › WordPress Plugins

I found a couple that you could install and try out.

WordPress › Open Links Directory WordPress Plugins

WordPress › WordPress Link Directory WordPress Plugins

Is DirectoryPress brand new? I have not heard of it until now. I had an upcoming project I was planning on doing in Joomla that I think, thanks to DirectoryPress I will be able to do in Wordpress instead.

Thanks for the tip!
