{CP} Simply Responsive
A simply responsive child theme compatible up to version 3.6+, which enhances ClassiPress with many new features and adjustments (3.4.x & 3.3.x versions still available, just give me a shout).
CP Simply Responsive has been designed to fit well on MOBILE devices with a strong emphasis on UI – in other words, User Interaction. Everything we do with this theme is designed with the user (ie: your customers) in mind. No unnecessary gimmicks, css transitions or flashing animations, purely simple and functional.

Please note, you must have at least 2 featured ads in each category for this to function correctly otherwise non-featured ads will duplicate themselves. This is a quirk of ClassiPress.
Please feel free to adjust backgrounds, text links, buttons and colors to suit your own branding. If you know a little css, this can easily be achieved. See one example HERE
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that this is a ClassiPress child theme. You will also need to purchase the ClassiPress main parent theme for it to function fully.
Where has my main menu and footer menu gone?
Sometimes this can disappear upon installation of a child theme. If this happens, simply go to your admin area: Appearance -> Menus and redefine your header and footer menu locations. Set you primary navigation to Header and your footer navigation to Footer.
In WP3.5- set this in your Theme Locations (top left panel).
In WP3.6+ you will find the settings have moved to the Manage Locations tab.
How can I share my own logo to facebook?
Please read the ADDITIONAL NOTES in the Support section]
How do I translate this child theme?
There is a simply-responsive.pot file inside the languages folder. Simply use PoEdit program to to add translation into your own language. For more information and guidance on how to use PoEdit, see here and here.
1. Download the zip file from your AppThemes account. Unzip the zip file. Inside the unzipped folder, you should see a README.txt file and another zip file. This is the zip file you need to upload to your server. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes – Install Themes tab and upload the zip file. Then simply activate.
2. Check the ‘Use SelectBox JS library’ checkbox
Appearance -> Customize -> Site
3. Ensure your permalinks are set correctly. WordPress -> Settings -> Set Permalinks to “Post name” and save the settings.
If your menus disappear, see the FAQs section.
If your images look squashed, see the Support section.
For the optional features, please read the README.txt file for set-up instructions.
Set-Up and Installation Support for this child theme can be found here: http://forums.appthemes.com/simply-responsive/.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Why do my images look distorted?
Since this theme uses larger images in a square consistent format, you will need to install and activate the “Force Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin to resize all your images to the new larger sizes.
Download the plugin here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/
You should only need to do this once!
(Images uploaded to ads should be no less than 250px width and height)
Recommended logo sizes: Desktops / Tablets – minimum width = 226px / Mobiles – minimum width= 198px.
If you upload your logo to your images folder and your image has a different dimension, you will need to adjust the ‘cp_logo’ sizes in the style.css file accordingly.
If you upload your logo using the Classipress -> Settings -> General tab, then you will need to adjust the ‘.header_main_res #logo img’ in the style.css file accordingly.
Please feel free to adjust backgrounds and colors to suit your own branding, but please note, support is only provided for setup/installation and any bug fixing. We do not provide free support if you choose to further customize this theme. We will, of course, help you with any minor tweaks/adjustments.
How can I share my own logo to facebook?
To link to your own facebook page using the AddThis share plugin, you will need to have your own facebook account set up and your own app ID number. Simply replace the ID number in the head of the wrapper.php file with your own ID number and replace the fallback image URL with your own (see FAQs):
Make sure your logo is at least 200px x 200px or facebook will not recognise it.
On lines 21 and 25: <meta property=”fb:app_id” content=”594911647187742” /> <!– CHANGE TO YOUR OWN FACEBOOK ID –>
On line 22 and 31 <meta property=”og:image” content=”http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/year/month/yourimage.png” /> <!– CHANGE PATH TO LINK TO YOUR OWN LOGO/IMAGE –>
<!– CHANGE PATH BELOW TO LINK TO YOUR OWN LOGO/IMAGE –>

34 reviews of “{CP} Simply Responsive”
To be honest, I was about to uninstall classipress until I found simply responsive. This child theme saved what to me was not worth my effort to fix. Thankyou for what you do and your common sense approach in writing your child theme.
bellissimo ed utile al 100% molto semplice ed efficace
Support via Forums is excellent and full of useful information if you are willing to look for it! Developer is tops about following up with what has to be at time a flood of questions and obviously takes time to look at each problem and present a solution! Highly recommended!
Sara (Talent), your service was excellent!
With Your help my new classifieds-site is what it should be: Awesome .-)
There is no comparable child with these great functions.
I recommend your child theme “Simply Responsive”!
Good luck and many more pleased customers!
John
Great theme, nice look, compatible with most of the offical plugin of AppThemes.
If you want to give a look to my site: http://www.vendomercati.it/
Thanks a lot!
I am using the Classipress several years in one of my projects. A few years ago it had a lot of bugs. I prepared my own child theme based one of popular in this time. It takes me a long time becouse I’m not a professional programist. But it was original and it worked well. Unfortunately, stupid virus destroyed my work, I had no current backup. A few days ago I decided to change my theme and I bought your “Simply Responsive.” I had hoped that after so many years Classipress and Child themes are more professional. Unfortunately, its not true. Themes has still meny bugs, themes need be corrected manually, it takes a lot of time. I do not understand it. How you can charge the money for the product underdeveloped, infinite, etc. For me, this is unacceptable.
E.g. Why the ‘Post an Ad’ has no background? I have do it in style.css. Why color setting in personal section is so impractical? Several colors changes at once. It does not make sense. So why? Each color must be changed manually in style.css. The colors in the footer can not easily change. Again style.css.
Why I can not to delete an image in my profile? Why this picture is displayed such a large in list of ads? And others, others..
Unfortunately, there is no alternative for Classipress. For example Classified Engine has the same problems.
Turns out that a plugin they were using was causing the issues, as stated in a subsequent “comment”.
hello I not understand how activated “FEATURED LISTINGS” can you help me thank you
I recently made the switch to this Child Theme and I must say I love it. ~75% of my traffic is mobile, so I needed a better mobile solution. This child theme has met almost all of my needs and surpassed all of my expectations!
To boot, the product is supported better than any other product in the appthemes marketplace. Keep up the good work, we appreciate it!
Excellent theme and superb support! They responded to my email very quickly and fixed problems I had with single ad image gallery and posting ads. Theme itself is very simple. It has all you need to start successful classified ads website.
The theme itself is fully functional and is a quality band-aid for the plain classipress layout. It serves it’s purpose nicely. The bonus is how well the developer stays on top of updates whether it’s WordPress or Appthemes. She’s full of knowledge and keeps communication open at all times. Would recommend over and over for a brilliant child theme.
Theme is very easy to deal with. Support is very helpful and very prompt! If you are deciding whether to get this theme or not – 5 stars, very much recommended!
Great looking, works great. No need for any support yet … remember to check the read me file. This theme has saved me so much time developing a new responsive site. If you are looking to get your CP site up and running quickly — buy this — you will be glad you did! 🙂 Thank you!
Best theme so far on appthemes and the developer is no 1 in support anytime you ask for support she is there go give you the right answer to help you out. thanks talent you are great.
Simply Responsive is a pleasure to work with and even more pleasing to look at. Great work, I appreciate the subtleties of the design and nice touches… Moving the Contact Box to the front, “Featured” banner, larger map below the ad, the numbers for additional pages. Well Done!
Very clean theme, very good work, i don’t think so we need more then this…
thank you so for develop this theme… God bless you guys
I wanted to stop my project and hope came up with this theme and its support
realy nice THANKS
This theme has some cool features built into it, embedded videos and a my favourite page.
After testing various themes, I noticed different child themes effected the speed of my site, however simply responsive gave one of the best loading times for my site.:)
(This is something to look out for when purchasing themes,I was pulling my hair out with another child theme,this was not the case with simply responsive)
Sarah provides excellent support. This alone makes purchasing the theme a good investment!!:)
Thanks for all the help,along the way:)
Michael
The theme is cool. It offers nice responsive-design and a general clean design and user experience.
It takes some additional tweaking and I couldn’t get the international-language .pot file to open properly in Poedit, so if you are running in a different language than English, you might face the same problem.
Sarah, the developer, has been offering great support for most of my questions, so Kudos to her for that!
One thing the theme misses is Grid-View of your ads rather than just regular list view. Sarah does point out, that there is a plugin that might support that, but you’ll have to shed an extra $10.- for that and it may not work out of the box, as it isn’t from her.
Anyhow overall it’s a great theme and offers a nice user-experience.
READ the readme.txt to avoid some disruptions after installation! 😉
Looks great, simple install with no problems, great/fast answers to questions. Couldn’t be happier.
fits cushty on mobile devices, well planned.
I looked at a lot of child themes, but when I saw the simplicity and clean layout of Simply Responsive, it was love at first sight. Talent not only has a winner here, but continues to make it better and better with each update.
Need customized work? She does that, too… and it’s taken my site to a whole new level. My only regret in writing this review is that, now everyone else will want Simply Responsive for their Classipress site! 😉
When I found this child theme I simply amazed the responsive design.
Many thanks that I bought this theme for my site.
Very simple yet attractive design that make proud to be the site author.
To Sarah, you have excellent support to your customers. Your the BEST.
Simply Responsive is clean, modern, super responsive and and some really great features.
Highly recommend getting the Favourites plugin as well for seamless integration. The difference between this theme for me was the ease of making it work. I love the theme and your clients and users will too.
Cheers

Hi Talent,
Yes, I’ve seen it and I have replied.
Thanks.
Hi Talent,
Compatible with classipress 3.6.1?
Tanks.
Yes, as the description states it’s compatible up to version 3.6+, which includes 3.6.1
Are you working on one for clipper?
Hi Talent,
I bought simply responsive.
I need this theme in portuguese (Brazil).
How can i do this?
Tanks.
I haven’t been made aware of your purchase yet. Despite this, can you please use the support forum for support questions.
In the child theme forum you will find some useful links, which include instructions on how to translate the child theme (and the main Classipress theme) into any language.
Funciona no classipress 4.0?
No, it’s only compatible with CP3+.
There are no child themes compatible at the moment. The framework has changed quite a lot! Some hooks and functions have been removed in the new version making it impossible to keep the same functions and layout.
A completely new child theme would have to be built for CP version 4+ and I do not have a schedule for it at the moment.
I use classipress 3.6 themes. I want to replace the featured listing slide with the slide in simple responsive. How can I change it?
Hi, My classipress version is 4.0+. I like your plugin (CP simply responsive). When do you expect your updated plugin compatible with classipress 4.0+ and PHP 7+ will come out? Awaiting your reply, Thanks.
Hello Talent,
I requested some customization work and I have replied your email. However, the emails sent to your two email addresses failed to deliver after several attempts.
Kindly contact me.
{CP} Simply Responsive is really a nice looking site! But are you going to keep updating it with Classipress 4+ or have you just walked away? How about working with WP?
Not walked away. As the description states, it’s only compatible with CP3+
Hi talant.
Will you also update the theme for classipress 4?
Best Andi
