Folders for directories, properties and jobs
A directory with 1,000+ listings still has old properties, expired vacancies, locations, and archived entries that need to stay in WordPress.
Separate current listings from older records by type, location, client, or stage. Plathix PRO adds a private folder tree to the listing lists of your directory, property or job plugin. Listing pages, maps and search stay as they are.
Expired, sold, closed, and still in the list
Listings end, but they rarely disappear. A sold property keeps its page for search, an expired vacancy is reused next year, a closed shop stays in the directory history.
So the admin list mixes what is live today with years of older records, and the plugin’s own statuses do not always match how your team works.
Folders by stage, location, client or year separate current listings from the rest, without changing what visitors find.
Folders that match how a listings team works
By stage
Active, sold, expired: the records you still keep, sorted the way you work.
By location
City, district or region, as a private group for your team.
By agent or client
One folder per agent, employer or advertiser.
Featured
The listings you promote this month, in one place to review.
Archive by year
Older records out of your daily list, still in WordPress.
Directories, properties and job boards
Each plugin page explains which of its lists get folders.

Visitors find listings the way they always did
| What you do | What changes | What stays as it is |
|---|---|---|
| Put a listing in a folder | Its Plathix folder | Listing page, map, search filters, URL, expiry date |
| Move sold properties to “Sold 2025” | The folder tree in wp-admin | Public listing pages |
| Rename a location folder | The folder tree in wp-admin | Locations and categories on the site |
| Turn Plathix PRO off | The lists look like plain WordPress | Your folders wait in the database and come back |
Folders are not listing categories or locations. They have no URLs and never appear in search or on the map.
