Jibo

Live Demo

Jibo is a responsive ClassiPress 3.3 child theme enhanced with new features that extend the ClassiPress theme. Besides features, Jibo brings a beautiful, well-crafted design that increases you site reputation in the eyes of the audience. Some of the features built into Jibo include:

Responsive design

Jibo is designed to fit nicely in all modern devices including Smartphones and Tablets.

Grid – List based layout design:

  • 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’s 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.

Jquery-UI Tabs

  • the home, single, blog and author pages got a new tabbing system based on jQuery-UI Tabs.
  • 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’s is an admin option built for this ).
  • the first 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.

Infinite scroll pagination

  • Besides default pagination that exists in Classipress, Jibo 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 Jibo 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

  • Jibo now has support for Google’s new Asynchronous code for Adsense which means Adsense ads won’t break the Mobile experience anymore.

Featured ads

  • each sticky (featured ad) is presented with a distinct “Premium” ribbon, different background and active yellow border.
  • all featured ads stick on top of normal ads both on category pages and on search page.

Sorting / Filtering ads

Category pages include a sorting / filtering ads option

Users can sort ads by:

  • Newest ads ;
  • Oldest 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

Mark sold and/or expired ads

  • Sold ads or the ones that expired can be marked with a “Sold/Expired” text overlay over the loop images
  • Title and descriptions are marked with a line-through the middle of the text so your visitors will know that the item/ad is no longer available.
  • Both these features are optional and can be enabled/disabled individually in Admin settings.

Custom field in post-meta

  • There’s an admin option to include an existing or  a new custom field you may have created, in category loop pages for every ad like this: “Category | Author | cp_custom_field | Clock”.
  • Any existing field can be used. Default is cp_state so it prints the state location for every ad. You can change it to cp_city or even cp_telephone (if its defined).
  • Another nice feature about this field is that when it’s clicked, it triggers an advanced filter for that custom field within the current category to show only ads that include that value.

Optional Backgrounds

  • The default background is now “White” but you have the option to choose your own background color (color picker enabled) or you can upload a background image from your computer. The settings can be found in WordPress Admin under Appearance – Background.

Google Maps

  • For those that don’t want to use Google Maps, there’s a Child Theme admin option to disable both Google Maps and the external js file loaded for the maps.

Custom image dimensions

  • Jibo uses custom (bigger) images for better appearance. (Please see the install section regarding these custom images)

Related ads

  • Single ad pages are extended with a set of 5 random related ads from the same category.

Where are the category icons?

  • Category icons are not included into the childtheme, these are only for demo childtheme.
  • However, its pretty easy to add your own icons, Google search for “free icon set” and get the icons that are representative for each of your main categories.
  • 2nd, follow this tutorial written by Seth on how to Add Category Icons to Classipress.

Why are my thumbnail images stretched?

  • Jibo 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

Installation:

  1. Backup your existing Database and Classipress files to a safe place.
  2. Upload the childtheme to your themes folder or upload the zip archive through WP-Admin – Appearance – Themes – Upload
  3. Activate Jibo Child Theme.
  4. Disable your Classipress core stylesheets at WP-Admin – Classipress – Settings – Advanced, Check Disable Core Stylesheets.
  5. Go to WP-Admin – Classipress – Settings – Advanced, and check “Use SelectBox Js Library”.
  6. You may need to set your menus again. Go to WP-Admin – Appearance – Menus and activate your Header and Footer menu.
  7. 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.

Awesome theme with support to match!

I’ve had many compliments about how nice my site looks and that’s because of the Jibo theme. There were minor styling issues and setting configurations that I needed help with but the author’s response was quick and friendly. Quite possibly the best purchase I made on the Marketplace!

Jibo has given my site fuctIonality & features that any professional classifieds site needs
By -

After researching and trying other child themes, Jibo has been the best thing I’ve done for my Classifieds site. It added the must have features on my list including sort function, ability to set the tabs on the single ad page to default to Contact rather than maps as well as a great image slider plus a host of other cool features. Can I also add that the support is amazing..my questions were answered promptly and efficiently. 100% happy with Jibo and highly recommend this theme.

Great theme, Very Flexible theme & Excellent Support
By -

Mr Ovidiu Bica, First of all, a big thank you to you for making such a professional and the best theme which has rich features, very flexible and most important, Excellent Support.

Some of the features would like to tell everyone –
Nice looks, Responsive (tested on ipad, iphone, android phones, galaxy tab), switch between grid and list view, Price Negotiable tag, expiry tag, login and register forms combined on the same page, extra banners for content, infinite scroll, extra custom field beside meta, different view types…
From your latest version 1.5 – Ad’s Sorting options, Currency Drop-down box to choose different currency for posting ad’s
….there are many more…

Also, your plug in Smooth Approve is the best to make the ads go through approval once again if there is any change to the ad content. It helps to avoid duplicate ads and any spam/malfunctioning.

I highly recommend this child theme to all those who are looking for a best and clean website… 🙂

Thank you very much…:)

EXCELLENT Support for a fantastic theme
By -

I had a couple “small” issues with my site after installing Jibo for ClassiPriss theme and I could not be happier with the support that I received from the author. VERY quick response and very knowledgeable not only with his theme but programing in general. The author went over and above what was expected and help with other issues that where not theme related.

The theme itself is great and very user friendly for people like me that need a “plug and play” answer when it comes to any type of programing or modification. Install, turn on, adjust a couple setting and your ready to go.

This feature rich theme is simple to use and configure. AND you would be hard pressed to find better support than that of the author, Ovidiubica. I highly recommend Jibo and Ovidiybica (A+++) for your ClassiPress site.

A complete classipress child theme. Could not be more satisfied. Highly and very easily customizable. Extra features like infinite scroll, extra custom field beside meta, different view types, disabling google map with one click etc. makes Jibo a child theme that pays off big time. Many thanks to the developer for amazing support. Highly recommend

    Its hard to say, did you try to deactivate all your plugins and see if the price appears again?
    What exactly did you transfer from localhost to c-panel? Files only or database too?

  • kyei_zz

    my localhost is running on a database i created with laragon, however the site runs on a database i created in c-panel. i only transferred the jibo theme files with file zilla i have not moved databases since the site was already running on a classipress child theme i created and so is somewhat populated with ads. The owner only wanted to see a grid view and a list view that is why i was asked to buy jibo . Also i want to expend the menu bar with the Post an Ad from end to end just like the footer
