Citadela is the universal theme. We have put all effort into that to create a piece of art. To prove that, we decided to make a DirectoryPro layout that looks the same as our current DirectoryPro theme.
Short history of Directory theme
The first Directory theme we created in 2013. It was the first directory listing theme in the world. We have started the revolution and showcased to the WordPress community what is possible to achieve with WordPress.
Back then, there were no page builders. Shortcodes controlled everything. After a few years, we made a new version, the second generation called Directory+, based on our Framework 2. Directory+ had our AIT page builder that is still great to use. It’s multilingual and has so many options for advanced designers.
In 2020 we decided to refresh our Directory+ theme with a new design and new features. We renamed the theme to DirectoryPro. It’s still based on our tested, stable and secure AIT Framework 2.
New directory revolution
Now it’s 2021, and we’re happy to show you our 3rd generation of Directory theme based on this Citadela family. Citadela DirectoryPro Layout has been released recently to all our Full and Lifetime Members. You can check it out here.
Are you asking what’s missing from the old DirectoryPro theme? The quick answer is – not a lot. Here’s an updated summary table:
Citadela is fast, secure and years ahead. Be prepared for all the changes that will be happening to WordPress CMS system in the end of 2021. Start using Citadela today.
Hey Martin,
very nice, and I am happy being back using this nice Theme and plugins.
For me it nearly got everything. Only small pieces are missing or I don’t find them.
– back to top button
– set size of the Google map (height/width)
– customized header menu
– show category of the items on item Page
– social media in contact
I am still learnings using Gutenberg 😃
Thanks,
Denis
Hello,
that’s a great idea, Denis! We really like your example of how this particular feature would come in useful to you. We’ll definitely have a look closer once we finish the 3rd phase. Thank you again for writing in and taking the time to provide your feedback.
Have a good day!

Hello,
Sounds good. will switch to it when event listings are available and changing from events theme to citadela is easy.
What about an easier way to add items? Something a little more user friendly and self explanatory?
Hello Aussie,
Thanks a lot for writing in and for asking. Yeah, CSV Import / Export plugin is planned and should be available in a few weeks (April/May).
It will allow you to transfer bulk data of portal items, item categories and locations quickly. There will be implemented features like:
– import data from CSV file to your portal theme
– export data from your website in CSV format to do local changes in Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers
– plugin will automatically generate sample CSV file for the current theme
– etc.
Kind regards!

does it have a gallery option (upload extra images)? or add our own gallery block?
also would be nice to have the option in the setup to have our own permalinks for items, events without the need to tweak plugin files.
cheers
Michael
Hello there,
Thanks for writing in.
Gallery block can be added right from the latest Citadela plugin release v 4.0.0: https://www.ait-themes.club/citadela-directory-4-0/
A standard permalinks settings available in the panel administration -> settings -> permalinks. Furthermore we’ll consider it as a possible update in the future.
Kind regards!

Hi
You are mentioning about migration from previous directory themes: Items, categories and locations.
What happens with reviews and ratings? Can these be migrated to from DirectoryPro to Citadela?
Hello Lea,
Thanks for writing in. The content like Item reviews or rating can’t be migrated by using CSV Import Export plugin. After import Citadela Layout will be lost. Perhaps some 3rd party developer plugin might help.
Kind regards!

Добрый день! Подскажите, пожалуйста, есть ли такая опция каталога для странички ресторана или кафе, как меню? То есть, чтобы клиент мог посмотреть (или скачать) меню с ценами. Может быть в формате PDF, как вариант.
Zdravstvujte Татьяна,
Thanks for additional question. In fact you use Citadela directory pack or Food Guide directory theme. I would like ask you to have a look at the comparison table in order to see the the differences between both products (Food Guide theme is represented by DirectoryPRO)
Kind regards!
