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
Is possible to make the homepage show the Categories tab by default?
Thanks
B
Yes, you can choose in admin options between Welcome, Categories or Recent tabs.
New users will land on the tab you set in admin options (Categories)
Returning users will land on the last tab they had open on their previous visit.

Hello,
I purchased the Jibo theme a few days ago and I am very satisfied. However, I am having an issue. The custom logo that I uploaded has now disappeared. Instead of my logo, the space where the logo is supposed to be (upper left) is now populated by “Site Title” and Tagline which can be customized in the theme settings (just the text). I was not having this issue prior to today; everything was fine. Please advise…

Hi.
Just like to know if it´s possible to hide number of views in each ad. Is it included somewhere in the theme options? I liked the theme, but I would like to hide this information.
I also would like to know if I need the sidebar on the left side, if I should make changes in classipress or in Jibo.
You can make that change in Jibo, only need to rename custom-sample.css to custom.css and have a look at this code:
Hi.
Is there any example of left sidebar?
In custom.css I should only keep one of the options to make it on the left sidebar?
Are the future updates on this theme included in the theme price?
Luiz.
I just edited the comment above so you can just copy/paste the code.
The theme licence is valid for lifetime, updates and support as well.
You need to hurry though as the licence will change soon in regards to free updates and will follow default appthemes policy, 1 year free updates then 30% of the theme’s price for next year updates. This will only affect new customers, not the previous ones that bought an appthemes marketplace item.
Yes, you can hide the ad view stats in Classipress admin.
The widgets on the footer in the demo comes with the theme as soon we install it? (Recents, Popular, Random)?
No, that’s a WordPress plugin that fetches google incoming search terms and displays them in those widgets.
I am going to purchase your child theme, But i want to confirm before buying that you’ll support me for some changing in child theme. is it fine for you?
Depends what you mean “changing in child theme” and your level of knowledge.
I can help you achieve some small tweaks (colors, etc) for free but heavy custom development won’t be supported. You also need to understand that some changes will be lost on future theme updates unless you document them well and reapply them after theme update.
The map do not work for me. I am in Brazil and the map do not work even when I enable it. I don’t know what is hapening.
Can you please email me the link to your site to have a look? bicaovidiu@gmail.com

Hello!

Regards!
Hello, not out of the box but it can be done as a customization.

1) Is it compatible with wordpress 3.9.1 ?
2) Is it compatible with Classipress theme version 3.3.3 ?
3) Is it compatible with Advanced Custom Fields plugin ?
Thanks,
Choo
Yes, Jibo is up to date and working with all the themes/plugins you mentioned.
Great, thanks. I will purchase it soon.
Thanks, let me know if you need help setting it up.
When you click on the category in classipress appears a Refine Results box on the right.
Have you removed this in your childthemes?

Sure, just updated the demo link so you can see the price condition removed from refined search form.
No, it depends on how you set your form layouts. You can see the search refine in this category here.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi,
How to create a 404 error page in Jibo child-theme.
Amar (www.4jat.com)
Hi,
Auto-complete search option in Jibo Child theme is very poorly designed (Visit http://www.4jat.com) where as I see the same option in other site using eClassi child theme (http://www.krreddy.com/) which appears very nicely. Please suggest some solution to this.
Thanks!
Amar
I will look into this, looks like I missed it.
As for the 404 page, on your site it looks like you’re using a plugin or server side 404 error handling outside of Classipress.
Meanwhile, can you please use the forum for support? Its hard for me to keep track of requests in the comment section.
Hi,
is lifetime, updates and support still available. If yes pls let me know at your earliest. I would like to buy the theme today.
Thanks
Iftikhar Ahmad
You won’t have to pay for updates or support of Jibo Child Theme.
Only for Classipress itself after 1 year from purchase.
Ovidiu
Hi
I like you Theme. But befor I buy it I would like to ask you if you Jibo Theme accept other apps who are made it for ClassiPress.
Thanks!
sladi
Hi Sladi, sorry for the late reply. Jibo supports other plugins made for Classipress although I have not tested them all.
Does your themes supports RTL websites ?
I need rtl.css!
I didn’t add any special code for RTL other than original Classipress.
hi, I look at the statistics, Jibo last updated on Aug. 29, 2014. What change log for the newer update?
Thanks
Hi there, I only updated a few bug fixes. Some of them I already fixed on your part.
Hi, I buy the child theme and have the previous version, as I get the update?
You can log in to your appthemes account and download the updated theme from within the dashboard.
Hi i just want to know if there is a way to put a share facebook option for the adds?
Hi i just want to know if there is a way to put a share facebook option for the adds?
You can look for wordpress plugins that do just that.
Hi there, I have a few questions:
1) Is it possible for one of the homepage tabs to show ads relating to a certain category or tab by default?
2) Can I place the Google Maps underneath the advert?
3) Can you refine results based on radius from a Zip/Postal code?
Many thanks
Also, is it easy for me to integrate banner management software like OIO publisher into your them?
Hi Mike,
The features you are looking for are not built into the theme but can be achieved through small custom modifications.
As for plugins, they work just as they would work with default Classipress theme.
Let me know if you have any other concerns.
Thanks for your help, I have another question, can I change the grid layout to show 5 adverts in 1 row (smaller pictures)? I don’t mind if I have to reduce the sidebar width.
You have 1 row after every 3rd ad. Maximum 3 rows. You would need to fit them all in ~590 pixels/row. With padding and all… you could probably fit 4x125px buttons.
I don’t think you can make it larger because that would break the design, not to mention the responsive one.
