GeoDirectory Ajax Duplicate Alert 2.3.5
Description
GeoDirectory Ajax Duplicate Alert is a WordPress add-on designed for GeoDirectory-powered sites that manage many listings. It helps prevent duplicate or degraded entries by checking new listing titles in real time against existing titles stored in your GeoDirectory database. Instead of discovering duplicates after the fact, the plugin warns users before they submit an entry. Using Ajax, the alert appears as part of your normal workflow, so editors can quickly correct issues while they’re adding content.
For directories built with GeoDirectory, this plugin supports cleaner taxonomy data, more consistent naming, and a smoother authoring experience. When a new title matches an existing one, users get a clear warning that they’re about to create a duplicate.
