Jibo
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:
- 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 Jibo Child Theme.
- Disable your Classipress core stylesheets at WP-Admin – Classipress – Settings – Advanced, Check Disable Core Stylesheets.
- Go to WP-Admin – Classipress – Settings – Advanced, and check “Use SelectBox Js Library”.
- 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.
Note: I do not provide support for custom development of the Child Theme. I will generally answer such questions with guidance and even small code samples but do not expect me to do all your work.

hello,
Where to translate “Post An Ad”?
Thanks
You need to edit jibo.pot using poedit, translate it and save it for your own language.
You can find it in jibo/lang folder.

I want to use this in order to realize gallery view like in ebay classifieds. I don’t want to open the thumbnails in the lightbox. I like to use this but for this i need the jquery.min.js

Please, can you help me with this issue?
thx
Jquery is already included by wordpress, why do you need to include it again? You need specific version?
Hi,
I liked it . is it possible to mirror the theme (from right to left)… this is required for right-to lift languages such as Arabic.
Cheers,
Mazen
Hi Mazen, you can use Classipress/Jibo with RTL languages. Let me know if you need help installing the child theme.
I’d like to completely remove the Welcome Back, user message in the sidebar that pops up when a user returns or logs in. This message occupies the top spot in the sidebar.
Thank you
I guess you could move it downstairs so you can reclaim that space. Can’t be done without modifying the files though. Send me your login credentials in private message to have a look.
Done, Can you please check and confirm its what you wanted?
Yes, it’s perfect 🙂
Your support is always great
Thanks
And when I update the template will change anything ?
Thanks
If you apply any child theme updates, this modification will be lost. You should at least note down any modification you make so you can restore it after Jibo update.
great looking childthemes.
Bookmarked.
Thanks megasale, good to know. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you to decide if this is what you’re looking for.
My site was perfect with the child theme Jibo. And thanks to the great support of the support team, my site has gotten much better. And now I can make even more money with the ads. I think to make good money with a website adverts it is very important to choose the right template. And Jibo is perfect for my business.
thank you 🙂
Hello! Congratulations on the beautiful work with Child Theme Jibo.
I bought your theme and I would leave it like your sample.
I would like to know how to include Google AdSense and how to put on the same page the registration form and login.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Silva, Claudio

Thanks for your purchase Claudio.
Responsive Google Adsense feature is not yet included in the public version. I still need to polish a few things before I release the new version. If you’re in a hurry, send an email to bicaovidiu at gmail dot com and I’ll provide you the code.
Hi… i want to remove the icon from the category in the “post-block” ion the home page.I think it is the image “folder-open.png”. I want to remove it from the list and grid view. How can i do that?
regards
You can rename the file custom-sample.css to custom.css and then paste this code in it after you delete the sample code.
Let me know how it goes.
I see that i am not the only person that want registration form and login on same page…I have not forgotten that you helped me with that malicious code (anunturitop).
Don’t forget to send me updates of jibo theme when they are done..
Thank you and you made a goo job for all..
Does it have to load the ads in list before it changes to grid? doesnt that slow it down
Hi Willie, it doesn’t slow it down. Once the ads have been loaded, a javascript function switches the CSS to grid view. The content is the same, it doesn’t load it again, its only being re arranged.
Your theme is very well done. Will there be an update soon? Thank you.
Hi there, there will be a new version soon, I just need to polish a few things first.
Hello Bica,
Any news about new version ?
Thanks
Almost there Mario, I’ve been busy lately at home, my wife just gave birth to our first beautiful child (boy).
You should go for it while the coupon is still active. You will get the updated version once its live.

@papauvi, Can you share a link? Also, I can’t find you among my customers. What username did you use to buy Jibo child theme?
Hi, does this theme include functionality to sort ads with a dropbox on each category/search page? Thanks.
Sorry, that’s not included but there’s already a plugin here in the marketplace that can be used for this purpose.
3 questions
1. how to make the image appear in the condition: new and used?
2. how to display the images post-new-ad and home-register?
3. that the start menu is not hidden to collect browser tab or the mobile?
1. there’s no image there, just text and you need to add a custom field named cp_condition with new, used, none values.
2. Images are included in the theme but the html code is not. You can copy it from the demo site and put it in: classipress admin – Settings – Home page message.
3. not sure what you mean but you are probably talking about the Jibo theme option settings.
PS. You should use the forum for this type of support.
the field cp_condition not work, tell me you have to activate something else, the field does not work.
Please send me your login details in private so I can add it for you.
send private login
the field cp_condition not work, tell me you have to activate something else, the field does not work.
undoubtedly the best cot available, perfect in all its funsiones and design theme, congratulations recommend
because the ads are not completed grid mode and infinite scroll is not done being activated
and send an image in private
@papauvi , please use the forum, this is not the right place to leave confidential information. Also, change your WordPress admin password as soon as possible.
Would this theme work on multisite network to have different settings on each blog?
There is posible that instead Google adsense to use my own banners?
Hi, what position are we talking about? you can add your own banners in Classipress default positions and you can also add your own advertising between user submitted ads but you’re limited to only one ad unless you have your own ad rotating script.
In your Jibo pannel , where is written “Adsense code between ads:, I wanna insert my own banner or to use for example a banner rotator. I have tried use a code from an affiliate program, but, unfortunatelly, it doesnt work.
Did you also choose the number of ads to appear in that place? If it works with adsense it should also work with your own html/javascript code.
If you don’t sort this out, please share a link so I can have a look.
did the template support RTL Arabic language is ready ?
Yes, it should work just fine with Arabic rtl but its not tested. I would appreciate if you would give me a hand on this one.
Should i have by classipress them too or just buy this them ?
You need to buy Classipress and install it on WordPress first.
Then you can buy Jibo which is a child theme of Classipress.
But as I said, I never tested Jibo on RTL languages so i can’t say for sure how it would behave. I would need a live sample of arabic web content on top of Classipress to be sure.
Hi Ovidio. Hope family life is well. Was wondering about an update? specifically, if Jibo will work with woocommerce? Thank you.
Just sent the update to Appthemes for review . Should be live in a couple of days. I added new sorting/filtering ads feature.
Sorry, never played with woocommerce and don’t plan to do so any time soon.
