ListingHive is a lightweight, clean, and modern WordPress theme. Primarily a minimalist blog theme, it pairs seamlessly with the free HivePress plugin to power professional directories, listings, or classifieds sites with minimal effort.
ListingHive has no rigid templates or niche-specific layouts, making it ideal for any listings site—from professional directories and dashboards to pitches, classifieds, or custom catalogs. Customize listings to be searchable, filterable, sortable, and grouped by categories. Add custom attributes to support multiple listing types on one site.
All ListingHive settings live intuitively in your WordPress dashboard. With basic WordPress experience, you'll have it running in minutes. Options are straightforward—for instance, adjust posts per page under Settings > Posts > Display. Tooltips explain every setting, minimizing the need for docs.
ListingHive includes free extensions for one-click functionality expansion directly from your dashboard. Install only what you need without bloating your site. Current extensions (7+ and growing):
ListingHive integrates with the WordPress Customizer for effortless tweaks: site logo, favicon, primary/secondary colors, fonts, and custom header images per page or site-wide. HivePress adds advanced listing fields and search options for tailored sites.
Fully compatible with WooCommerce—the leading WordPress eCommerce plugin—ListingHive supports global payment gateways. Use HivePress extensions like Paid Listings (charge for adds, features, renewals) or Claim Listings. Alternatively, sell WooCommerce products alongside listings.
CSS-savvy? ListingHive's BEM methodology ensures semantic HTML and intuitive class names for easy customization. Leverage the robust hooks API (actions/filters) to tweak templates, layouts, menus, or hook into events like post creation/deletion. Built-in REST API supports custom front-ends or mobile apps using HivePress as backend.
Built with top security practices: sanitized inputs, escaped outputs, capability checks on all actions. Front-end-only user management hides WordPress backend. Moderation tools, manual approvals, user reporting, and native reCAPTCHA protect forms from spam—no extra plugins needed.
Active development means monthly updates for ListingHive, HivePress, and extensions. We're responsive to feedback—your suggestions shape the roadmap. As official WordPress.org plugins, updates arrive automatically in your dashboard.
Free support from the ListingHive team covers bugs and queries, with 24-hour responses typical. Direct dev input ensures precise, expert solutions.
