I think the directions "read first important" are self explanatory. If you continue to have issues visit the forum with more specific details I can help you.

Terry... how easy it is to NICHE out an article directory with your theme? Say I wanted a directory just for pets, or just for green and environmental issues... What is the mechanics for setting up the categories? I watched the video and read the sales page, but you don't go into any detail there.

Thanks for a quick reply.

Well WebDiva... the automatic import (the easiest way to set it all up with a couple clicks) imports about 300 categories (parent and children). So I guess instead of explaining how to set up a niche site WITHOUT using the import file you can simply go to your WP category page in admin, click the categories you don't want and delete them. You can then add your own categories by typing in their name and 'submit'. (all covered in the exhaustive videos and printed documenation...)

Just an FYI, this is one of those great reasons I created this. After having used several other PHP scripted (exclusively PHP) directories it was a nightmare changing stuff like this to fit my needs (and I know some PHP...).

For the average person? You'd pull your hair out and the script would lay there on your hard drive.

Please read the sales page for full details.

There IS NOT one WP plugin that has this functionality. As a matter of fact no combination of currently written plugins can produce the output without conflict.

The biggest advantage... authors submit from the frontend. Only admins are allowed in the backend. If you had authors submitting articles they would choose 100 categories and you'd have duplicate content all over your site.

It's a combination of custom scripts, javascripts, forms, templates, plugins, css, etc that bring the whole thing together.

P.S. FOUR left for this WSO, thanks to everyone...

Sorry about not answering your last question....

Of course, other article directories (if they do offer SEF urls) usually charge more for SEF url's.

Also, the most advanced (easiest to use with options) directory script just got pinging service added to it but doesn't ping the full array of services.

My header includes SEO scripts built in so you don't need extra plugins (but feel free if you want to use them), no page has duplicate data in the header info, meta, title, description, etc.

Also some little added in tags for your "keywords" that I don't care to go into here. Just know that I use the same scripts that I sell, so I maximize them for my profitability and you ride my coat tails....

couldn't resist! just put in my order.

Thanks Terry.

So to summarize, it took me about half-an-hour to set it up. And another hour or 2 to customize it.

I really like this article directory in WordPress format.

Terry, I do have a query on the Tab thingy. PM you.

Would like to give a special thumb's up for Terry support in resolving my "Tab" issue.

For the benefit of those who are using cPanel's Fantastico to set up WordPress, you'll have 2 About tabs (one created by original WordPress installation and another by the import to set up the article directory). Remember to delete the About tab with id=4 and keep the id=2. Else, you'll have to mess around with MyPHPAdmin like I do.

Now my article directory is fully set up. Guess the next task, for the long term, is to populate it with articles and to grow the article directory.

This is not just any article directory. Terry has integrated it with useful plugins, included multiple monetization methods and even a huge library of ebooks you can give-away to grow your list. Everything is so well-thought.

For those who are still sitting on the fence, jump on this one before the license run out. I give it 5-star!

Checking Back In,

Got a bit side tracked with a few offline HOA (Home Owners Association) issues here in Baja CA. where I live.

Anyway, bottom line this is worth every penny Terry is asking for it and then some.

Out of all the plugins, themes & server side scripts I have purchased for WP this is
without a doubt in the top 4 or 5. And I've purchased a bunch!

Not sure how many weeks, no make that months he put into thinking this out & developing it but it is really well thought out and a very solid product. Works as advertised.
How rare is that?

Best Regards,
Dave
P.S. Terry when you do your official launch
let me know & I'll send you a testimonial
