Represent your attention special Article Directory theme for using with Article Directory WordPress Plugin.

Worth noting that the ideological inspirer for realization article directory on WordPress engine is the ArticleDashBoard.com. Therefore, while creating Article Directory theme I was orientated to this directory.

Features

• Statistics on the total number of published articles and the number of registered authors.
• Each author has a page with his profile and list of his articles.
• The home page displays a list of the most recent articles. By default, 30 titles. The numbers can be changed in the template file index.php.
• Lists of “pages” are available at two locations in header of page. To mutual exclusion repeated pages you must find in two places of the header.php file the code like this:

  <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=2,3'); ?>

  and specify in the include option comma-separated list identifiers pages you wish to exclude from the list.  

• On the categories pages displayed so-called “bread crumbs.”
• The category page displays a list of subcategories and list of this category articles. That pages don’t contain articles from subcategories. Such articles are displayed on the subcategories pages.

• A page of a particular article contains a list of other articles from the same category.
• The Article Directory theme is intended to work with WordPress version 2.3+. Working with earlier versions is not assured.
