Description

The Blogs Directory creates a navigable directory of all sites in your WordPress Multisite network, displaying each blog on cards with avatar, description, category, and direct link for visiting. The extension organizes subsites by customizable categories, adds keyword search, and sorts results by creation date, activity, or alphabetical order, ideal for those managing Multisite networks with dozens or hundreds of internal blogs.

How to Download Blogs Directory

Blogs Directory is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it on the network via the Network Admin. The directory becomes accessible via shortcode or a dedicated page after activation.

Designed for those operating Multisite networks with a significant volume of subsites, Blogs Directory solves a classic WordPress network problem: the lack of a central page that presents all hosted blogs.
