GeoDirectory Converter 2.2.0
Description
GeoDirectory Converter is a WordPress plugin that streamlines migrating an existing directory to GeoDirectory. It converts directories built with popular scripts like phpMyDirectory, Listify, Business Directory Plugin, and Directorist into a GeoDirectory-compatible setup. The goal is to reduce the manual effort and time usually required during a directory upgrade. By preserving your existing data structure and listings, it helps you keep content organized while switching platforms.
Because the plugin is currently in beta, it’s intended for staging sites and testing workflows, not live production use. This makes it well-suited for preparing a smoother directory migration before you go live with your GeoDirectory upgrade.
