Simple Link Directory

Link lists get tedious when every entry needs a title, a description and an image typed in by hand. Simple Link Directory handles that step. You add a URL, and the plugin retrieves the site's title, meta description and a screenshot thumbnail to build a complete listing. Categorizing and filtering keep large collections easy to browse, and the backend is simple to work in.

The plugin supports several kinds of directories: resource pages, partner listings, top sites lists, video galleries, YouTube video directories and logo collections. Layouts are responsive, so listings fit phones, tablets and desktops, and you can adjust the look to match your branding. If you want to charge for placement, PayPal and Stripe are built in for paid or claimed listings.

Features

• Automatic listing details: Paste a URL and the plugin pulls the site's title, meta description and a screenshot thumbnail, so each listing is filled in without manual typing.
