I’m proud to announce that WPDirectory Pro 1.6.1 has been released.
Version 1.6.1 contains a small change to further improve upon the security put in place in version 1.6.0. There are no other changes or fixes.
This release is not required by users, but is recommended.For further information on the XSS vulnerability please see this post
Additionally, all the plugins for WPDirectory Pro have been updated for the correct URL and directory naming structure. Thanks to a customer who noticed an issue with naming that I thought was corrected I have uploaded these as well. There are no changes to the plugins, only the directory naming. If these are already working on your site there is no need to replace them.

I must say that, in my opinion, WPDirectory Pro is quickly becoming the best Link Directory plugin for Wordpress. It started out as a plugin with limited features, and due to the hard work of Bruce ( WPDirectory Pro Owner ) and his programmer, its morphing into a full fledge Link Directory at an outstanding price.
WPDir Pro now has its own offical website. All support, software releases, and information pertaining to WPDir will now be located at the new website.
A new release is expected soon to deal with a license issue that will affect all WPDir Pro users. Please watch there website to ensure you dont experience any downtime.
