I often find that many people are not clear on what theme to use for their website so I have decided to give little bit of clarification.
DirectoryPress – is a directory listing theme – used for instances where you want businesses or people to list their information (similar to yell.com)
ClassifiedsTheme – as the name suggests, is a classifieds theme – used for posting ads like buying or selling cars or a kitten – (similar to gumtree.com)
RealtorPress – used for property type website – for buying / selling and letting out properties – (similar to rightmove.com)
ShopperPress – your online store for selling own or affiliate goods.
CouponPress – coupons and discounts website
Look at the full list of themes and their intended use:
The problem is that some people just want their site to do ‘everything’ and then start in a very complicated way to ‘hack’ DirectoryPress to also work for jobs, classifieds, events, properties, coupons and selling products etc.
Please don’t do that!!!
It will make the site too complicated for visitors and customers to use and also add enormous development and management costs.
If you can’t get away from running a ‘single theme’ website and require other theme functionalities, then rather than ‘botching’ DirectoryPress or other theme, setup WordPress as a multisite and thus benefit from having a site with theme developed for specific purpose.
Kind regards,
Richard
