OmniDirectory

OmniDirectory registers a “Directory Members” custom post type and lets you build a searchable staff/member directory that adapts to almost any profession — doctors, lawyers, consultants, clergy, companies — just by relabeling three custom fields from Directory Settings.

Core features:

• Custom post type (“Directory Members”) with a photo, three admin-configurable fields (e.g. Specialty/Title, Location/Office, Phone), Email, Bio, and an optional “Directory Category” taxonomy.
• Live AJAX search shortcode [omnidirectory_search], restricted to matching Title and Directory Category (no false-positive matches from unrelated meta/content).
• Built-in Arabic + English search: an Arabic search term automatically matches Arabic listings and an English term matches English listings, with Arabic letter-variant normalization (e.g. “احمد” and “أحمد” match each other) baked in, and full RTL support throughout.
• Eight search-results layouts: Modern Grid Cards, Horizontal List Row, Avatar Badge Compact, Structured Table View, Masonry Pinterest Grid, Horizontal Directory List, Compact Table Matrix, and Interactive Hover Flip Cards — switchable from Directory Settings.
• Eight single-profile layouts: Modern Centered Card, Two-Column Sidebar, Hero Banner Top, Tabbed Profile View, Minimalist Clean, Split Screen Cover, Interactive Dashboard, and Floating Card Overlay.
• Attachments / Documents: attach PDF, Word, Excel, or plain-text files to a member’s profile, with an optional custom label per file, shown as a labeled download card on their profile.
• Click-to-Reveal privacy option: optionally mask phone numbers and email addresses behind a “Click to show” button, to deter basic spam-harvesting bots.
• Category filter dropdown, a primary accent color picker, an “hide empty fields” display toggle, and a CSV Import/Export module for bulk-adding or backing up your directory.
• Polylang and WPML compatible: the post type, taxonomy, and translatable fields are registered for both, with a wpml-config.xml file included for WPML.

3. Add members under Directory Members → Add New, or bulk-import them via Directory Members → Import / Export.
4. Place the [omnidirectory_search] shortcode on any page to show the live search box.
