Directorist Announcement 2.3

Directorist Announcement is a WordPress extension for the Directorist ecosystem that helps you communicate with your site’s users through targeted announcements. Instead of posting the same message to everyone, it focuses on delivering updates, promos, and news to the right audience. This improves engagement by keeping visitors informed at the moment they need it.

Built to fit into a WordPress workflow, the extension lets you manage announcements from your site and send them without disrupting your existing setup. If you use Directorist with a WordPress theme or template kit (and optionally tools like Elementor for your layout), this add-on supports clearer, more relevant messaging across your directory pages and user activity.

Main Features

• Targeted user announcements — Send messages to specific users rather than broadcasting to the entire audience.
• Update, promo, and news messaging — Prepare announcements for site updates, promotions, and new announcements.
• Directorist-focused communication — Designed for use alongside the Directorist plugin and its user base.
• Audience-focused delivery — Helps ensure your communication is relevant to who receives it.
• WordPress integration — Works within your WordPress admin environment for straightforward content management.
• Clear communication workflow — Manage announcements in a structured way so your team can stay consistent.
