Easier for Theme Developers
One of the main reason we built V2, was to make it easier to build themes for it.
We want Theme developers to create Directory themes for WordPress powered by GeoDirectory.
In almost 5 years, 3rd party developers designed only a couple of themes for GeoDirectory V1.
Today we are glad to announce the 1st theme for GeoDirectory V2. It will be available very soon.
Say hello to Listimia
Listimia is a sleek looking WordPress Theme that already existed as a PHPmydirectory theme.
Because the PHPmydirectory project appears to be dead without an update in over 2 years and support topic unanswered since 5 months.
Rachid, the man behind addictedtoweb.com decided to convert it into a theme for WordPress powered by GeoDirectory.
We sincerely hope everyone will enjoy GeoDirectory v2.
