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

Hi Ovidiu, I like your theme a lot.
I am on classipress 3.2.1, will your theme work with this version? Please let me know.
I am not able to upgrade classipress because when i upgrade to higher version, classipress isnt working properly for me.
Sorry, its not compatible with 3.2.1. You need to run the latest Classipress version.
Is my existing adsplash installation ready for classipress 3.5.1 – can I upgrade?
And what about the “radius / address” feature shown here – when will ti be official?
hasepost, you should be fine running 3.5.1, there are only some small issues that have been fixed in the development version.
Radius search will be included in the next version due in a couple of days. Check your Appthemes Dashboard over the weekend for the updated theme.
Thank your for the fast response!
Last question, is there an existing translation to german language?
There are currently no translations for your language. If you translate it to German and send it over to me, I will include it in the official release.
Good afternoon, I liked the theme updates. Show you how to make a search radius in meters and indicate their values? For example, the user could specify the range of 50, 100, 150 meters, and so forth and receive listings in said radius search. Thank you for your answers, you helped me a lot
dmitry88, in Classipress admin – Settings – Google Maps, you have 3 more options for you to choose:
1. Put your Contry code to restrict locations to your country only. leave it blank for worldwide.
2. Choose the language you want.
3. Choose between miles or kilometers for radius search.
I want instead of kilometers and miles set search radius in meters . how to do it?
No idea, this is far too complex for me to understand. If you’re brave enough, you can look at classipress\framework\includes\geo.php
Hi.
Is that RTL compatible?
And do you have a version to works with WP 4.3 and Classipress 3.4.1 without password and other fields issuses?
Thanks.
vbigdeli, I have no clue about RTL, you would probably need to hire a developer from that part of the world as for me its impossible to work with that language.
Latest version of AdSplash should work fine with latest WordPress and Classipress 3.4.1.
I just added the compatibility fix in the development version, I will release it today.
Good afternoon. I think I did not correctly explain the problem. I will try again:
1) after the update in the menu bar appeared radius search. for me it is a very handy feature, but I want to set their values. By default, a list of 75 km radius of 5km, 10km, 15km, and so on. I want to do such as 1km, 2km, 3km and so on. What do I need to change? Which files need to edit the name and my values?
2) In my template list your form of a grid displays only 10 ads. I can display more ads?
Thank you for your answers
1. The values are in searchbar.php inside AdsPlash theme folder. Distance unit can be set from Classipress – Settings – Google Maps. Only Miles or Kilometers are available (this is a Classipress feature).
2. You can set it to a different value in WordPress amin – Settings – Reading. Recommended is 9/12/15 and so on for the grid to align properly.
Great 🙂 – Just used it at http://www.altomhest.dk – great
papepape, looks great. Some tips:
1 . Follow the installation steps, more exactly step 6 (regenerate thumbnails)
2. In WordPress admin – Settings – Reading …. set the number of posts to show either 9/12/15 and so on. This is for the grid ads to align properly.
Good afternoon, Ovidiu! Thanks for the answer, you very much helped me. I have the last question on this subject to you. I have installed “Dynamic Multi-Level Fields Plugin”. But this plug-in doesn’t interact with search radius in the menu. If I install the” User’s current location (Geolocation”) or “User input, location autocomplete settings”, Dynamic Multi-Level Fields Plugin automatically establishes the same city as in the field of “City or Zipcode”. Whatever value I wouldn’t set in a search radius, a search result zero. If to deactivate a plug-in, the radius of search gives out result.I don’t want to refuse this plug-in and function of radius of search is necessary to me too. I want that at the same time on a choice the user had possibility of a choice of the city through a plug-in, and also more exact choice of announcements through search radius. Is it possible to solve this problem? Thanks for the answer!
Not sure I follow, can you be more precise? A live link to your site would also help understand what you’re trying to accomplish.

Function search radius in the menu doesn’t work together with a plug-in of “Dynamic Multi-Level Fields Plugin”. When you choose distance and you press search, there is no announcement. Without this plug-in search in radius finds announcements in the set zone. I want to use the radius of search and “Dynamic Multi-Level Fields Plugin
i using Dynamic Multi-Level Fields Plugin this good 😀 but i need combine three step add new ads. ca you do it????
Hm, I have no idea how that plugin works or why it cancels the radius search feature.
Thank you that will answer, excuse me that I distract
Hello,
I did not success to install Adsplash. Can you help me ?
Thanks
It is ok i finally found the solution.
Thanks.
That’s great. I sent you an email. Please use it for future support requests.
Hello,
Great child theme. However, I would consider using but when the category is changed, the theme resets the location to the geolocated address. My users may want to change this per category and the reset might lead to confusing results.
Do you also do custom work?
best regards,
sam
