AdSplash
This child theme works up to ClassiPress 3.6.1, it is not compatible with ClassiPress 4.x
AdSplash is a responsive ClassiPress 3.4+ child theme enhanced with new features that extend the ClassiPress theme on both desktop and mobile devices. Some of the features built into AdSplash include:
Mobile Responsive Menu
- AdSplash features a new responsive menu that turns into accordion on mobile devices making this the most mobile friendly child theme for Classipress
Responsive Tabs & Accordions
- AdSplash features an improved tab system that turns into accordion on mobile devices making this the most responsive, mobile friendly child theme for Classipress.
- these tabs, just like the List-Grid layout design, use cookies to preserve the state of the last opened tab upon page refresh or closing the browser.
- Recent ads (3rd tab) is presented by default to new visitors but this can be changed to a different tab ( there is an admin option built for this ).
- the first (Welcome) home tab is best used as a description page which is great for SEO (you can edit it in admin, html editor is enabled so you can use both text and images)
- Popular and Random ads front tabs can be disabled from admin for every visitor or only for the ones that use a mobile device.
Layout and Colors
- AdSplash features multiple color variations (Orange, Brown, Cherry, Grey, Green, Navy) for you to choose from. You can also choose how you want your content to be displayed (Aligned to Left or Right).
List / Grid ad layout view:
- the user can switch between List and Grid layout with a click of a button.
- new site visitors are presented with grid layout by default but this can be set to list as well ( there is an admin option built for this ).
- a site wide cookie is being set for the user to save the default selected layout, this way, the users will see the preferred layout design when they browse your site and even if they close the browser and come back later, the will be presented with the same design.
Search and filter by Location
- The top search bar has a unique feature that allows users to search for ads in a specific location using radius search.
- The City field is powered by Google Maps API and includes the options to either determine the user’s current location using Geolocation or to autocomplete the location as the user types the first letters.
- If City, Zipcode with Radius Search is too much for you, there’s also an option to use any other custom field as a location.
Infinite scroll pagination
- Besides default pagination that exists in Classipress, AdSplash has an optional pagination based on Infinite Scroll. Using this feature, visitors won’t have to click on page links to navigate in category pages because its enough to scroll down and new ads (pages) are loaded on the fly using ajax.
- This feature is optional, it can be enabled/disabled in AdSplash admin settings.
Support for Google Adsense between every 3rd ad
- Now you can include an Adsense ad (468×60 recommended) after every 3rd ad on category pages.
- Better yet (see bellow), these Adsense ads play well accross mobile devices.
Support for Google Adsense Mobile Responsive ads
- AdSplash has support for Google’s new Asynchronous code for Adsense which means Adsense ads won’t break the Mobile experience anymore.
Sorting / Filtering ads
Category pages include a sorting / filtering ads option
Users can sort ads by:
- Newest ads
- Oldest ads
- Last modified ads
- Price – Lowest
- Price – Highest
- Most viewed ads first
- Most commented ads first
Users can exclude following ads:
- Ads without an image attached
- Ads that were marked as sold
- Ads that expired
- Both ads that were sold and ads that expired
Related ads
- Single ad pages are extended with a set of 5 random related ads from the same category.
Admin options framework
- AdSplash has an options framework integrated so you can change some of the unique features present in this child theme.
Why are my thumbnail images stretched?
- AdSplash child theme uses custom image dimensions which means you need to regenerate your existing thumbnails for this to look fine.
- You need to install the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and run it from WP-Admin – Tools
Where are the menu items / icons and how can I enable them?
Menu icons can be enabled for the Header menu (Primary Navigation) from within the Menu Editor just like in the screenshot bellow. Note the fa-home icon name in the title attribute.
Valid icon names are the following:
- fa-home
- fa-twitter-square
- fa-comments
- fa-plus
- fa-minus
- fa-tags
- fa-lock-alt
- fa-unlock-alt
- fa-pencil-square-o
- fa-map-marker
- fa-files-o
- fa-folder-open
- fa-rss-square
- fa-cog
- fa-clock-o
- fa-random
- fa-caret-square-o-right
- fa-signal
- fa-power-off
- fa-asterisk
- fa-bullhorn
- fa-sitemap
- fa-facebook-square
- fa-gplus-square
- fa-wordpress
- fa-yelp

Installation:
- Backup your existing Database and Classipress files to a safe place.
- Upload the childtheme to your themes folder or upload the zip archive through WP-Admin – Appearance – Themes – Upload
- Activate AdSplash Child Theme.
- You may need to set your menus again. Go to WP-Admin – Appearance – Menus and activate your Header and Footer menu.
- If you had a previous Classipress installation with existing content, your thumbnails may look stretched, you need to regenerate your thumbnails after childtheme activation: Please install the Regenerate thumbnails plugin and run it.

Classipress and this theme is a waste of time and money, don’t bother buying it. Classipress has a lot of bugs and limited functionalities.

Just installed the child theme and I am so HAPPY with how it looks and how it works. And the support received was fantastic. Thank you so much for everything….I really can’t say enough. My website would not exits without Ovidiu’s help. Merci mult Ovidiu!!!
I’ve tried out a few Classipress themes, and I have to say this is by far my favourite.
It is well thought out, the support is great and most importantly it looks really good.
Definitely recommended!
I am a bit a particular about how I need my site to look and function. AdSplash caught my attention when it implemented the green theme and location search, and since I’ve come to love the clean and simple look and feel AdSplash has to it. I’m glad to be using this wonderfully well built child theme, as it works perfectly for my site’s needs. While rebuilding the site, I did run into a couple of issues, and I was impressed and grateful with how quickly Ovidiu is to give support. Thank you for the excellent work you have accomplished with AdSplash and for providing good support, Ovidiu 🙂 It’s much appreciated!
great child theme
I want to thank not only the work is excellent, but the support is more. bravo
I have bought a lot of classified themes the web space has to offer and I can categorically state that Adsplash is hands down the best off-the-shelf classifieds theme in the marketplace. Period!
The seller has been fantastic, I have been using his themes for two years now.
He responds to queries and does a fantastic job at that!
I strongly recommend him!
A nicely designed classified theme. Beautiful, simple and clean. I am very impressed because you take note of the importance of the location search function that you have added-on on your new 2.0 updated AdSplash version. I highly recommended this theme. Thanks Ovidiu.
This child theme work great especially with mobile device. Also it has a really nice modern design. The Admin option is really easy and straight forward to setup. The author is very helpful with solving issue or answering questions as well. A++ for this theme.
I bought this child theme and i am very very happy with it. I had a problem and the seller he fixed it very fast (within one hour!!). So i am verry pleased and as i am beginner with wordpress i am verry satisfied that this seller helps me when i have a problem! 🙂

Hello
Can I change the background of this issue?
Can you add a soft pink or Light Salmon colour like FFA07A as I would need this colour for my theme.
Thanks in advance
There will be one similar to the color of the first image slideshow above.
Is that close to what you want?
Thanks so much for your prompt reply.
That’s nice, but if at all possible a slightly lighter baby pink colour would be ideal.
Thanks again
Just wondering if this colour is available yet
Hello, you can change the background from WordPress admin.
Hi, I really like your theme but I’m wondering if you could make the layout like Ultra Classifieds. The sections in Ultra Classifieds are not separated as the main classipress theme. It looks very tight. Can you have such an upgrade for your theme or maybe to create another one? To be honest, I am looking to change from Ultra Classifieds as they are not very cooperative and I have a problem with their theme for quite a long time already, however but I like that “Tight Look” of the theme.
Kind Regards
Hi M, AdSplash may not be as tight as Ultra but I think that I achieved this goal you’re looking for through tabs and accordions. The layout doesn’t stretch too much, content is always at your eyesight and mobile users are taken automatically to the relevant content they were looking for.
I think its hard to please everyone, if you want to have your own ideas implemented, you may need to hire a developer (I don’t have time for custom development at this moment).
Please make one for jobroller !
very good looking child theme
Thanks John, I’ll take your request into consideration.
Can you change the theme colours?
Not at the moment or at least not from the admin. It would require to know a little bit of css.
Is it compatible with cp 3.3.3. I was having to many issues with 3.4.
Sorry, I haven’t tested it on outdated Classipress versions. My bet is that it is not since a lot of core files have changed.
Justmotors, if you’re still interested I just added 3 new colors with the ability to choose the default one from AdSplash admin settings.
This is a very nice theme, the installation was easy. I had one problem but the seller he fixed it within a hour!! I would recommend this product to everyone and the helpdesk is very good and fast!!!
I want to change the color to green like the one in classipress parent theme, How do I do that, could you help? Also the last row of the ads instead of 3 ads in a row I see only one. http://WWW.ASEANMkarkets.com
Thanks
Also with mobile site version I having trouble upload photo from take photo on the phone. Just want people to just take picture and upload it through there phone. Alway show error that the file is too large. I just want the photo taken to resize itself. Also is it possible that I can pay the author to be my temporary support for my website. Please let me know email: thatsuon@aseanmarkets.com website: http://www.aseanmarkets.com. Waiting for your response so we can discuss more detail about it. Sincerely That Suon.
Hi tsuon, can we continue this conversation over email? I’ll contact you shortly.
Yes sure, thanks for the fast response.
Also it seems my website doesn’t load in my iphone? Please help.
Hi Ovidiu, nice theme. I ve just bought Adsplash its quite easily understand how your theme function fyi. However, it will be tremendous help for your purchasers if you could layout steps on how to edit and make changes on Adsplash backend.eg Logo, Add catagories, Post Ads and etc..
And one very important function you have missed out is the Location(City/States) category search function. I am not sure if you left it on purpose for your future plugins project, but personally felt that is the Adsplash missing link.
Hi Jeremy, I’ll try to update the FAQ section with the steps needed to setup logo, and menus.
As for the location, which one are you talking about? the one next to Category, Author “Location” Clock ?
If yes, that link only appears in the category pages because it relies on default Classipress Refine Search widget which is only present on category pages.
Edit: Just realized that feature didn’t make it to AdSplash, its only present in Jibo child theme
Thank you for considering my request and your quick reply. Great Author!
Yes, at the categories page refer to “related ads”. Only categories and author link are click-able but not location(state/city). Anyway i can make it click-able?
I’ll look into it but only for the category page.
Hello my friend!
I ‘m using the cutest theme, but when upgrading the classipress to version 3.4 it gave some problems and now I have to buy a new updated version of the theme.
I saw your theme and I really liked, but the images are not showing up with the cutest now, will appear in your theme as before?
my site is http://www.estanciaimoveis.net
tks man!
Hi there, I’m not sure why your images are gone from the single ad listing but as a test, you can enable the Classipress theme and see if the images are back on the single ad listing page. If they are, it should also show up on AdSplash.
Let me know if you have other questions.
Hi Ovidiu
Need your help, please check your email, thanks
Hi
I really need the green color theme, because my logo and signature color is green color, also If you have more color choice that even better. Please help thanks.
Sincerely,
Can you come up with a Vantage theme as well???
Sorry Sam, I don’t have plans for Vantage at this moment.
Hi Ovidiu bica does this theme supports youtube links or any place to embed youtube links so that customers can show the video
Thanks
Sure it does, all you have to do is to enable the WordPress Embeds from Classipress – Settings – Advanced
Then they can paste the youtube url in the ad description and it will be converted to youtube video.
Here’s an ad: http://adsplash.wpthemeroller.com/ads/electric-innocent-kidnapper/
Hi I want to confirm can the category section of yours be made click expandable. As I am really interested in your theme can you make it.
Thanks
Sorry, I have no plans for such feature.
I love this theme! Its beautiful and works well!!
I strongly recommend to everyone!!
I would like to thank Ovidiu for creating the DREAM theme!!!

Awesome awesome 2.0 update. I have been searching for this location function all over the internet for Classified theme. AdSplash theme is one of the best for me so far. And your support are top notch too. Keep it up Ovidiu.
Thanks to Ovidiu I got my beautiful and responsive website http://www.aseanmarkets.com.
Also thanks to the fast and helpful support as well from the author.
I am considering your theme, however whenever I click on an ad it just goes to a blank page. Same for login/registration…
Sorry about that, its just a security measure of the web server not to allow sensible information (logins) to be posted through iframes. I may need to find a way to bypass it, thanks for the heads up.
You can load the demo site without an iframe at the following address:
http://adsplash.wpthemeroller.com
If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thanks, that’s much better!
I do have a couple questions actually:
1) How hard would it be to make my own color scheme for this? I imagine its a matter of choosing my colors and changing the appropriate CSS classes?
2) Excellent idea with the Locations field in the top search bar. Is it able to be connected to a custom field rather than State? I have my own custom “Locale” field, because my site is already targeted to only one state, so I’d like it to be a drop-down of my set locales rather than the state.
I’m binge developing my new site over the weekend and want to get it ready to market by Monday evening…meaning I’ll probably buy it as soon as I know for sure it will work for me.
Thanks again for your time!
Sorry, I guess I should have read the description more carefully. I see that the location field can be set to any custom field. Win #1. The customization of colors isn’t as important to me so I think I’ll be buying your theme!
Ok, let me know if you need help with this.
Im very interested in this child theme, is it compatible with classipress v3.41 ?
Thank you.
Yes wrostran, AdSplash is compatible with latest Classipress v3.4.1 and latest WordPress.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the child theme.
Ok i will buy it then, thank you.
I just bought the Adsplash child theme and i uploaded it and it says:
This theme requires a parent theme. Checking if it is installed…
The parent theme could not be found. You will need to install the parent theme, classipress, before you can use this child theme.
Theme installed successfully.
I have ClassiPress 3.41 installed already, i’m testing it cause i’m going to build it for somebody, here is where i’m testing it:
http://djwilros.com/
Can you tell me how to fix this please.
Thank you
my “classipress” folder theme had capital letters so now it all good, thanks
Oh, ok .. glad you found out what the problem was.
Where can i customize the color of the theme? and can you please tell me how to display info that the user filled up in the ad form.
Thank you
You can copy one of the color stylesheets from adsplash\style folder and start from there. If you provide a base primary color, I can create a new color scheme for you and also include it in the official release.
I’m not sure I understand the last question though.
I mean how to retrieve data from database, eg When the user place and ad, the user have to fill a form like: price, category, state and customized fields. So i will like to know the code or [shortcode] to display the data from the database, so i can place it where ever i want.
I dont know what the code looks like but here is an example:
[price] or
[cp_size] or
I hope you understand me, Thank you
Its not that easy, it depends where you are on the page. If you are on the single ad page you can use the following code:
This should fetch the ad details attached to current ad. (Without the description text).
Sorry, the comments section doesn’t support php code insertions. Better send me an email.
Hello,
i am wondering how i can get the small images next to the navigation links in the header. For example: “w” logo next to blog. Help please.
Have a look at the FAQ section on this page.
Thank you i saw that.
two more question…
1.I have Post anonymously plugin installed but for some reason it doesn’t work. Do you know if that will work with your theme? I have it already setup and almost ready to go…
2. How do i change the $ to another currency sign or text like CAD/USD/RUP
1. I don’t really know as I haven’t tested the plugin. Send me a copy so I can check. (use the email address).
2. You should use a custom field (cp_currency) with desired values and assign it to the form.
Ok sounds good i will be emailing you the plugin shortly. I also have one more question if you dont mind.
1. How do i change the search location drop down menu? It just says California for me and i cant get it to update with the 6-7 locations i want to appear there.
Please use the email for support requests, this is just a comments area
1. You need to decide what custom field you use for location in “AdSplash options”. Default option is probably cp_state, that’s why it shows California (The first demo ad that’s inserted when you install Classipress has the state California).
Just decide what custom field you add to the form for users to select their location when they post the ad, then insert this field in AdSplash options.
Email me if you don;t get this right.
hey what is your email i got a question i couldnt get the cp_state to update the drop down list. its odd. help please with you remail so i can ask you.
Can you tell: what change version 2.0 to 2.0.6
Just small bug fixes, no features added in this version.
