TwinPress Bundle
This is a bundle of two different child-themes: ‘TwinPress Directory‘ and ‘TwinPress Classifieds‘
Purchasing here will save you over 20% of the cost of purchasing each theme individually
This bundle has been created to run as a network
Run multiple AppThemes side-by-side using the WordPress network interface.
These child-themes have been created using the same design and we have inserted a new menu at the top of the page to allow the customer to easily switch between themes.
We have pre-built the themes with two color schemes that you may select from, and with a little knowledge of CSS you may create your own swatches (or you could ask us nicely to create one for you).
Features
- Clean and responsive design.
- Multisite ready.
- Content has been designed at 1140px to accommodate larger screens.
- Newly formatted Classipress featured slider (no more errors when resizing).
- New top menu for navigation between sites.
- Newly formatted login now integrated as part of each theme.
Excellent support
Let us know what you think of our themes and what we could do to improve them. We’re in this for the long haul and will be pushing out free updates to all purchasers.
TwinPress Classifieds compatible with:
ClassiPress: v3.3
WordPress: v3.5.2
TwinPress Directory compatible with:
Vantage: v1.2.1
WordPress: v3.5.x
Please note: These are child-themes only and will require an AppThemes license for Vantage and ClassiPress.
The TwinPress themes are child-themes and will require the appropriate full AppTheme to work, they’re best thought of as a ‘skin’.
TwinPress Directory requires a license for ‘Vantage’.
TwinPress Classifieds requires a license for ‘Classipress’.
TwinPress doesn’t offer to combine both Vantage and Classipress into one website, instead it offers a unified ‘skin’ so that your directory site and your classifieds site both look the same. You will still have to manage each site’s content independently.
The ‘WordPress Network’ is an advanced option when installing WordPress that will allow you to manage multiple installations from the same dashboard. This will save you time as you will be logged in to all network sites at the same time and can switch between them easily.
Installation
If you’re setting up a Wordpress network please do this first, instructions may be found here.
Make sure Classipress and Vantage have been installed correctly.
Install TwinPress Classifieds and TwinPress Directory child themes by navigating to ‘themes > add new > upload’, browse to the zip files and upload.
Navigate to ‘appearance > themes’ and activate. (If you’re running a network you will need to make the themes visible through ‘network admin’ first).
Theme options:
TwinPress Directory
We’ve built in three default colors: ‘orange’, ‘blue’ and ‘green’. These can be selected by changing line 12 of the ‘style.css’ file. The easiest way to change this is through ‘appearance > editor’ (Or if you’re running a WordPress network: ‘Network Admin > themes > editor’)
Once the child theme is activated navigate to ‘settings > media’ and adjust ‘Thumbnail’ to 100 x 100px and ‘Medium image’ to 805 x 400px.
Please note: If you have images already uploaded you will need to regenerate thumbnails for this to take effect.
Single listing data is now found as a new Widget in the ‘appearance > widgets’ section.
TwinPress Classifieds
We’ve built in two default colors: ‘orange’ and ‘blue’. These can be selected by changing line 12 of the ‘style.css’ file. The easiest way to change this is through ‘appearance > editor’ (Or if you’re running a WordPress network: ‘Network Admin > themes > editor’)
Once the child theme is activated navigate to ‘settings > media’ and adjust ‘Medium image’ to 805 x 400px.
Please note: If you have images already uploaded you will need to regenerate thumbnails for this to take effect.

7 reviews of “TwinPress Bundle”
Disappointed with the lack of response from theme author. This product should not be being sold. Avoid it.
The way they sell it gives you impression that you can merge directory and clssipress together but you can achieve this with all themes. Classipress is broken. They don’t have support. They don’t care. If you want it, i will sell you my bundle for 70% of what I paid for it. They were nowhere to help.
I was trying to setup Twinpress Classifieds theme on a fresh installation of WordPress, but the layout seems to be messed up, the Menu has some issues, image in the search button is messed and the post ad button aswell. I am attaching screenshots. I have highlighted the problems i noticed in an yellow outline around it.
I tried installing in 3 fresh installation to check if its issue with server, or my wordpress installations, but seems like its not. The twinpress Directory theme but works just fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I bought this theme some months back but when I install, it says ‘The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.’
Yes sir nice theme, i purchase the theme ,but i had trouble upload the theme into wordpress , i tried 9 times but i kept getting a message by wordpress that the theme is missing the style css. I contacted apptheme but no one as contacted me yet. Hope to hear from someone soon.
I love these themes so far, and it looks like a new client is about to appoint me as thier web developer based on the demo I created for them using the classifieds child theme. Absolutely fantastic work guys. Thank you.
Just one thuink though, I have to do a fair amount of CSS customizations which required me to add an additional plugin to the site. I’m wondering is you cannot perhaps add a Custom CSS section to the settings of the child themes and if possible, maybe add a functionality for a user to define one custom color scheme that can be automatically applied through out the child theme. That would add much value to us.
But overall, I love this product. Absolute value for many!

Hi Tomer, I’ve responded to this through your forum post.
TwinPress Directory & Classifieds Bundle installation problems:
on my server i can see “twinpress_classifieds” but on wp-admin
i got onthor “Vantage”by orogon insted of “twinpress_classifieds”
i did try 10 times already so dont understand
A – Where is the “twinpress_classifieds” in my wp admin ?
B- Why is the “Vantage”by orogon Keep pop to my wp admin ?
Hi Tomer, please post issues to the forum where I can deal with them much more easily. If you are running a ‘WordPress MultiSite’ you will need to activate your installed themes for them to appear under your dashboard. Navigate to ‘Network Admin > Themes’ to switch them on.
really best themes in the market place. I hope to see Joproller soon thank.
I’m having a hard time understanding the purpose of the bundle. I own Classipress right now, and am considering buying Vantage.
…If I buy Vantage and this TwinPress Bundle, will this let users login to add their business to my directory (via Vantage) and to sell stuff (via Classipress), using ***ONE*** login?
Hi
Yes that’s correct, you should be able to set up two websites with the same core URL and have customers use a single login to access both sites.
To share the same URL you will need to set up a WordPress network, user accounts are shared between the two sites via a plugin.
Thanks

Is there any way I can install your theme and then apply this other theme too? I love their styling:

Hi
I’m afraid you can only install one child theme per site.

Hello corbs, Am very interested buying your theme. Can u make another two similar themes for job-roller and coupons with the same style for multisite platform.
Let me know if this possible and possible mean when…Then i will buy asap.
Thanks
Hi
We’re working on making improvements to our two current themes at the moment. Any future themes won’t be announced before their release.

Hi
Just a few questions:
1. I take it that you only need one registration then you can use both the directory and classifieds?
2. Can I add a forum and blog, again do I just need the one login?
3. Can I remove the events sections from the directory?
4. At the top of the site, is it easy to add additional tabs for forum and blog?
Thanks
B
BTW – have you got a responsive theme for bbpress?
Hi
1. You can combine registrations with a WordPress multisite by using a plugin. Please have a look at http://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-user-management/
2. You can create as many network sites as you wish, however if you use another theme it will look different to TwinPress.
3. Yes, events are optional.
4. Yes this is a fully configurable menu.
We’re currently working on a default TwinPress theme, it’s taking a lot longer than we’d hoped so no eta yet.
Thanks

WOW,Wow, This Child Theme looks great.
However I would like to know whether The Twinpress would be compatible with this plugin also available in the APPTHEMES.com marketplace
http://marketplace.appthemes.com/plugins/home-control-for-vantage/
Hope to hear from you again soon/
Thanks
Hi
This plugin hasn’t been tested with TwinPress. Theoretically it should work fine but there may be some minor errors introduced by conflicting style sheets.
Thanks

Felt cheated, the two themes can’t apply on one site.
Appthemes should mention it in the advertisement.
Can i ask for refund?
Regards,
HI
does this package include the latest 1.1.2 themes ? would like to use it right away instead of waiting for an update 🙂
Thx
Two presales questions;
1. Landing Page – I believe you may have answered this in the forum when someone asked about adding a “Home” button to the top menu. Am I correct in thinking that I could add a “Home or Landing Page” to each template? That way, when a user visits either site, they will see the same landing page with instructions on using the site and the menu tabs at the very top?
2. Child Theme to the Child Theme – Will I have to add child themes to the TwinPress child themes so I don’t lose my modifications when you publish TwinPress updates?

Hi
When is the updates coming out ? i read it in the forum that your working on 2.0 for a while now 🙂
thx
Will this work with the “Directory” child-theme to Vantage? I purchased the child theme and would like to use that.
Is anyone supporting these themes? There’s many questions at the forum and no answer for them! In my opinion TwinPress is just a fraud! My websites don’t look like the demo. And it’s not only my problem – it’s very popular complaint at forum, just check it before You decide to buy these themes! All together (Classi Press + Vantage + TwinPress) is 120 $ and think twice before You lost this money!
Hi,
Is it the same since Nov 18 2014??
I’m interested in this theme, but… you made me doubt.
Thanks!!
Im new at this. Will this give me the possability to set up many classipress sites,Eg mysite.org and mysite.com and then share the same ads on all of them? Or will they have their own ads only?
How to change the default thumbnail.
How can we get the TwinPress Bundle Plugin????
