How To Make Wordpress An Article Directory

Just a quick post. I was just surfing the web investigating possible ways of making your wordpress blog an article directory. Guess what there is a plugin for wordpress versions 2.3 and older.

If you visit articlesss.com to see the plugin in use and actually download it to. The appearance is very similar to an article dashboard theme but with the wordpress operating system.

There are a few changes which you need to do if you want to run the wordpress article directory plugin with your current theme like:

Installation

Installation of Article Directory plugin is a simple:

1. Copy the article-directory folder in WordPress plugins directory (…\wp-content\plugins\). 2. Copy the categories.css file in directory with your theme.
3. Activate the plugin through admin interface.
4. Add the following code in the index.php (or another file) of your theme:
5. Add the following code in the style.css: @import 'categories.css';

You can get all the information and the article directory plugin from http://articlesss.com/article-directory-wordpress-plugin/ and the theme which will mean you do not need to do steps 2, 4 & 5 from http://articlesss.com/article-directory-wordpress-theme/

    This is an awesome idea! Too bad it needs to be used with an older version of WP. Either way, thanks!

    Hi, Janrafi,

    I have been a bit slow on the posting of late as I am toying with the idea of a complete re structure of my site……I am in a cross roads at the moment and cannot stay focused.

    I will pull up my socks and start posting again….

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone done this and actually made a successful article directory? It’d be cool to see an example of one that’s running well and gets a good amount of traffic.

    It’s cool that it’s that simple. I’m glad they made wordpress simple enough to change stuff like that without much hussle. Sure it’d be nicer if they decided to post their own tutorials on averything but whatever – thanks to bloggers like you it’s easy to find out how to do all this stuff.

    thanks for this great post. I is a fan of article marketing and have been using article marketing tactics for the past few years. But as my website grow, I have found that writing articles is very tedious and sometime I encounter writer block as well. for those who have problem writing articles, you can try http://ccarticles.com .

    I purchased around 300 to 500 articles from their company and the articles is top quality. Then i submit them using the Article Submitter Auto and generate quite a decent of money from it as well

    You are right about this plugin and the accompanying theme. I have seen sites that use it and they look very cool, indeed. They look like the normal articledashboard kind of article directories yet have the power of wordpress. And with the many completely free wordpress plugins that are out there, you can make the article directory much more unique. Here are 2 I found that use this plugin/them

    Do you guys really make money with such article directories? I mean it will be all duplicate content. I’ve seen many directories like that with almost zero traffic. Am I missing something?

    Oh well, we are at the point we can say it is possible to create any kind of website with WP.

    I think this plugin is awesome, and the theme is looking good too.

    But i have spotted some other article directories using wordpress and they don’t look like are using this plugin or theme.

    Any ideas?

    a total solution to this issue is a complete WP theme, plugins, scripts etc that work in combination for a WordPress Article Directory. Problem I found with articlesss is the backend kind of way to get their articles and ongoing payments.

    a full script/solution for article directory is something like http://www.SubmitArticleMarketing.com article directory software.
