Hi Wzoj, could you rate it or still having troubles doing that?
I would appreciate if you can rate and review the plugin in case you like the plugin or its support.
Best regards
Thank you. I look forward to using that feature.
Hi. So I bought both Ads by Category and Selected Ads. Selected Ads is working as expected – Great. Ads by Category only displays one ad no matter how I set it. Any widgets below it won’t show. I running the latest version of Classipress. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Bluehavoc,
only one ad is appearing even you select categories with more than on?
could you please send the url, and admin access by email?
Cheers
I have tested the widget again, it worked properly.
please send url so I can see
Hi Guys, the Ad by ad Tags widget is now added. just update to 1.0.3, and go to widgets, You’ll find another widged named “DAW: Display ads by Ad Tag”, use the same approach 🙂
Cheers
Agradeço por ter inserido o filtro por tag’s. Pense para o futuro, filtro de categorias e tags na mesma widget.
Parabéns, muito satisfeito com o seu trabalho!
Thank you so much for such kind review, I really appreciate it
Hello, thank you for your fast response. I have over 2000 active listings and 4000 expired. We just switched to ClassiPress 4 (lastest version). I thought it might be one of my other plugins but nothing so far. I will need to let my coder give it a try first. Maybe it is something I missed. I will let you know. Again, thank you.
You are the most welcome, Bluehavoc
if you use any cache plugin, deactivate it and try again, perhaps it’s messing something in the cached data.
for me, it works just fine.
Ah , yes, dont forget to change the options of the widget. and save it again.
Cheers
You can develop a classipress plugin:
1 – This plugin will replace the fields cp_zipcode, cp_street, cp_state, cp_city and cp_country by a field only, for example cp_address
2 – Be connected to google maps. As we begin typing the address the same is already filled (same as the vantage theme)
Can you do it for classipress?
Hi Wzoj,
1-You don’t want any of these fields, or you keep them but you only display the cp_address?
2-I thought classipress theme was made with the same framework of vantage, so in the geolocation module, it must work the same. I will inquire and get back to you if I find anything
Cheers
1 – Yes, I want to use this field only. It does not make sense to have so many fields in the classipress. The VANTAGE theme should be the same.
Hi Wzoj,
I will dig into the code and see if there is a similar option or function for classipress there like Vantage.
Do you have a demo to show list view in home page?
Hi Kris,
I am going to add that widget to the same home page of the demo.
Cheers
Hi kris,
Please see the demo now http://demos.wpclubz.com/display-ads-category/ ,there is list view of 2 columns ( you can set the number of columns and number of ads to show in the backend)
you can find it above latest blog posts , on the bottom part.
Cheers
Hi, I have Classipress 4, how do I find the shortcode to place on inner pages ? I see it working fine in the widgets but I’d like to create a new page and place in the main body of that ?
Thanks
Problem solved, I found the button in editor 🙂 thanks
This plugin doesn’t work correctly on inside pages, thumb size doesn’t change and it doesn’t recognise the categories or tags.
I just purchased your plugin and it is NOT WORKING
No settings or anything appear anywhere in my backend dashboard of Classipress 4
Also you plugin link on the screen goes to a french page that has nothing to do with this plugin https://www.wpclubz.com
I am SUPER FRUSTRATED.
No where do you provide proper instructions on where we are meant to set things up etc.
I am on such a tight deadline with this. Please tell me why I cannot find your plugin settings in the backend of WordPress or any actual instructions anywhere to get it working!
so you just purchased it , thank youfor that.
wea re here to help.
do you receve any errors? why you say it’s not working.
simply follow the install and readme file. go to appearance=> widgets => find Ads by category widget and drop it to the home page there. you should have ads already to filter them and ofcourse categories of ads. that’s so simple.
if you can’t stil make it to work, email us the url and admin access, we help you instantly.
One more time, the widget for the filter is located in wp admin => appearance => widgets => drop it to the home page (sidebar) to appear on the home page with the ads there .
Best regards
Hi, I just purchased Ads by Category but realize now I don’t think that works with Vantage, but Classipress? I’ve been looking for a plugin that I can use an “auto slider” for featured listings and/or ads. Do I need Listings by Category instead?
Ugh, I read more detail on the Listings by Category and it looks like it does not do what I want, I want the slider at the top of the category search page, not in the sidebar.
The home page of vantage 4 is widgetized which means the whole content page is a sidebbar named HOME, you can drop the widget there to see how it works, it will appear on the home page.
do you want it on inner pages ?
you can put it on the header sidebar instead.
I want a full width auto-slider under the header on the search listing / category pages, not just in the sidebar. Does Listings by Category do that?
Hi starrlightmedia,
sorry for the late reply, I didn’t get any notification of new comments
yes , this is what I meant, you put it on the header , on appearance => widgets on the home page (header of home page) or any other pages
Thanks for purchasing my plugin
this one works with vantage https://marketplace.appthemes.com/plugins/listings-by-category/
if you made 2 purchases, please ask appthemes to give you refund for the one of CP
I just bought this plugin, which I can see a great mind behind it, but unfortunately there are few issues and few things not functioning right. I have the latest version of classipress 4.2.5 and no child theme.
