Before you email us, please make sure you have read through the Support FAQs below:
Support FAQs
- What kind of support is offered with a purchased product?
Your product purchase includes one year of access to premium support via email and one year or free updates. Beyond that, you will need to renew your subscription year on year for around 30% of the product price. Support covers issues such as bug fixes (if any) under normal operation, how to use basic product features, very basic WordPress help, and help with very basic theme customisaton. If you need more advanced modifications please consider hiring a developer to do it for you. - Will you provide help with small modifications?
If you need to do small modifications, you may get help from us as long as they are reasonable in number and nature. If you have a lot of such modifications, please consider paid developer help. - What kind of help would be unreasonable to ask?
This is not an easy question to answer. We are here to ensure that the product you purchased works as intended by us and serves its purpose on your website. That means if it doesn’t work for you, we can step in and help you with it. However, it is when there are no issues with the functioning of the product and all you want is help with modification, that demands start getting unreasonable.
As mentioned before, we don’t mind helping with modifications, but we also expect you to have tried everything to do it yourself. In other words, we expect you to have tried all the settings in your theme, ensured that the issue relates to the product in question, searched through legacy product support forum, and looked around on Google for the answer to your questions before approaching us. Please bear in mind that one theme, one child theme and a few plugins can get you only so far, and you will probably need to make changes to the code of your website to add functionality, change design and personalise it. In case of too many modifications, we will politely ask you to seek paid help. - I am using one of your child themes. I am having an issue with it.
Please make sure the issue is really with the child theme by activating the parent theme and checking if the problem gets solved. Also please make sure you have tested all the settings in parent theme and child theme, sometimes the answer is right in there! Send us an email if the issue still persists. - I am using one of your child themes. I need help with customisation.
As a pre-requisite, you are going to need a basic understanding of HTML & CSS to start customising the layout and style of your theme. To dig deeper PHP knowledge, specifically to WordPress, will help as well. The WordPress Codex is a great place to start learning. For CSS changes related to text colour, background colour, fonts, etc, please consider using the Firebug extension. A simple Google search returns many good text/video tutorials. - Do you offer paid WordPress development services?
Yes we do depending on our work schedule. You can always run your requirements by us via email.
This plugin was acquired by the seller “mohsinoffline” from the original author “dikiyforester” because the author was too busy with his work at AppThemes. We hope to carry forward his good work and hopefully make it better going forward!

27 reviews of “Advanced Custom Fields for ClassiPress”
There are IMPORTANT issues. I have contacted the developer several times via the email as described in the support section. I have never heard back from the developer. I sent issues to the forum and no answer. Very bad plugin, DON’T BUY IT.
I bought the plugin
very good plugin – solved all my problems with the configuration of fields – recommend it to everyone – excellent work by the developer.
I use the classipress version 4.2.2 – I really liked the features, I believe that extending to include woocommerce fields would be even better.
congratulations
I have contacted the developer several times via the email as described in the support section. I have never heard back from the developer.
This plugin is Conflicts with Classipress 4, makes it slow, and doesn’t show ads details in the search list,
update need.
Thanks
great plugin, with many options on the fields inserted for users .. only flaw, you can not add any of these fields to the management of the administrative side users.
i don’t understand why you sell on market place products, with problem on the last version of appthemes software. I ask to appthemes to remove this certain of add-ons cause i trusted them as they are guest on this market place.
please, I’m having trouble with the ACF, it seems that he needs mb_convert_case function to work, my hosting offers the 5.3.29 version of php and informed me that this function is not compiled, you can help me solve this, because I can not update my users nor the ClassiPress ads.
All Classipress websites must released with this plugin ACFCP
useful plugin and must have but no good support
It is necessary Plugin to have professional Template. Little of customisation still to realize to have exactly for what I looked
thank you very much
All are good but there is no TyniMCE for textarea. I submitted forum to ask how to do it but no respond until now.
Plugin works exactly as advertised! Support is even better. This is a “must have” plugin for any apptheme powered theme.
Keep up the great work
works great. does its job. I would be better if you could modify the text color easier through the plugin instead of going into the css files hunting for it..
OK, so I’m going against what all the other reviewers have said, but I find this plugin over-rated, over-priced, and un-necessary to the point that if I’d got it free from the WordPress depository, it would have been uninstalled by now.
Documentation is overly technical – who on earth is going to fathom out that you need to input a maxlength of 6.12 on a rangewords limitation for eg – and what on earth does all that mean anyway?
I’ve got it so that I have a city and area listing at the bottom of ads (it doesn’t work at the top of ads) purely to save a little face for shelling out nearly $30 on a white elephant that only (sometimes, if you can work out what on earth it’s all about) does what can be done normally through the normal classipress settings.
Sorry if I’ve been a little blunt, but with no legible documentation for this plugin, it’s a big thumbs down from me.
This is absolutely essential for each ClassiPress theme plugin
. Affordable prices
. The best support
. Quick response
This plug-in is a must have for anyone running a classifieds site. It does exactly what it claims and the developer provides prompt and excellent support. After fighting with Microsoft Technical support for two weeks over a simple email issue, working with this developer was a breath of fresh air.
Additionally, I sent the developer an email asking for a quote on some custom work (specifically – automatically putting the category name in the title field). He said that the changes would be easy to make and he would post the code to the ClassiPress forum for free within a day…and he did. Outstanding!
Great Plugin. It handles most of my needs!
I bought Advanced Custom Fields for ClassiPress, ACF Hyperlinks and ACF private and I am verry happy with it.The developer helped me out with an extra option, so now I can even put a custom field like a company-URL to my featured slider (a Tutorial is on the Appthemes forum). Thanks a lot.
Great job on a fantastic plugin. Your work makes my work much easier. I am currently developing a booking-type of website, and your contribution to this community via your plugins and countless hours spent helping your customers is greatly appreciated.
If you are reading this review and contemplating spending the money for a plugin, or thinking about trying to do everything yourself learning ClassiPress, php, and javascript like I did, believe me, make the purchase and move on to other things. Although I learned a lot about programming, it is much easier to spend the $29 and ask a few questions if needed.
ACFCP is a great plugin, I use is for auto filling user fields in ads, which of ocourse my users love… and also for getting far better registration details!
The developer is the most supportive developer I have worked with ever, I cannot recommend this more highly!
I really appreciate ACF suppot, but plugin the same. Never was a question that dikiyforester doesn’t reply. I would that all marketplace sellers to answer so quickly and punctual that dikiyforester does. I use this plugin and me and my website users are pleased with eassiness that it works and offers “spot” informations about website content and it is a really help for users that post more ads and they are not obeyd to complete again and again the same information about their profile.
Dikiyforester, congartulations for your work, good luck and WE wait new features for your plugin.
Just wanted you to know that this plug-in of yours (the ACF one) really kicks ***!!!
I bought it today and at first it really messed with my head, but after just a couple of minutes of trial and error it now puts a BIG smile on my face! I can´t imagine how I should have done what I want to do any other way…
So from a new fan of yours, keep up the brilliant work and I´ll support you in any way I can from now on!
All the best
/Lars D
Wow :-), what a neat plugin – a real must have for Classipress sites – and what a great support. This is what I call true value for money!
Respect, guys.
Cheers, Kees van Amersvoort
It’s very usefull plugin with fantastic support the team never give up with any problem:) I’m use it for couple of my sites and I’m happy… If you need checkbox on register site it’s perfect solution it have a lot of options you can use best regards for development team
I have been using this plugin now for 2 weeks it is a must have!
I was looking for a plugin to make custom profile fields and add fields.
This plugin let me do both within 1 simple page, with loads of customising options.
Also the support is great, I have posted around 16 questions and all be answered, even most of them within the hour!
Some questions where not even plugin related.
dikiyforester is my ClassiPress Guru, I hope to see he more plugins from him.

[…] Times in 49 Posts GOOD NEWS!!! Now anyone can buy this plugin on AppThemes MarketPlace http://marketplace.appthemes.com/plu…custom-fields/. This is a special store on the AppThemes website. Official store is not open, but the sales have […]
@Aleksandar Srebronakit
Hi, You want to use Search by Custom Field? But why you don’t want to add a sub categories? Search by Custom Field not provided in this plugin, but I interested in this idea! I will think about it.
I’ll be grateful to you if you put this idea into thread http://forums.appthemes.com/acf-classipress-feature-requests-35580/.
Thank you for sincere answer.
Maybe Im not 100% with sub-category model, but, in my case, customer can offer some tires for “ford” and some for “opel”.
If I want to use subcategories, i will need to create:
ford -> tires
opel -> tires
mercedes -> tires …
With linked custom fiels (like with tags) I am getting more content, and kinda search through categories .. without redudancy. Am I right?
yes more content from all categories, but if your user want tires only for Opel? Custom fields can be linked to many categories, but subcats only for one category.
And another example: if you define manufacturer like a category, then all ads in this category will be added by one form layout. What about tires and engines? They are have different characteristics.
So, product types – categories or subcategories
characteristics – custom fields.
Maybe manufacturer better to make the custom field?
This wiil be for used parts … so it dond need precise specification and search criteria for everything .. this is class Ad site, not shop ..
On the other side, No way I will enter 40-50 manufacturer x cca. 40 different part types as subcategories .. even with excel it is too hard ..
I created cca 40 manufacturers as “categories” and I defined custom field “part type” (“Vrsta auto dela” on Serbian) and it looks fine for me – and I believe for customers too.
See here: http://gyazo.com/11325c9bf5e0ab18d99d83f7744ec184
Im only suggesting thet it will be good to have those custom fields “clickable” .. Im just hoping you can sell that idea …
B.R.
Alex. Serbia.
Ok I understand. In this case better use multi categories feature (my opinion). Search by custom fields more difficult for server.
In any case thank you for idea, I will keep this in mind, but no promises.
Thanks a lot for creative conversation.

Hi,
this plugin include Dynamic Multi-Level Fields on custom ad category forms?
Thanks a lot
Unfortunately, the plugin does not have this feature now. It is only in the plans.
Hi, I am curious if I could change the private setting so only site admin (me) could see that category and not even the poster? I use classipress as a directory and want an extremely private ratings system only I can see. Is this possible?
My site is http://www.PresentingArchitecture.com
Yes,
You can add custom ad field and set the visibility settings of the field.
Need to disable output this field on the “add new ad” form, “edit ad” form and “single ad” page (using the plugin).
Then you can fill and save this field from admins dashboard.
Here description

Hello, Alioune!
Thank you for your purchase!
Add different form layouts for ads by category you can with standart ClassiPress functional http://docs.appthemes.com/classipress/creating-custom-fields-and-forms/.
My plugin add additional functional for the fields, such as formats and limitations, display options and validation.
If you bought my plugin only for ad form layouts, I’m sorry.
But I believe you will never be disappointed in buying!
If you want to add custom form layouts for user registration and editing, this functional in developing now.
Incredible new plug-in functionality will be released soon.
I develop “Role-Playing-User” framework. You can add custom roles for users with different permissions. User Can select role in registration such as seller, advertizer, seeker, etc… And you can set role in admin dashboard.
For each role you can set different forms, options and permissions.
This framework will be added to ACFCP plugin.

Alioune
Hello muryel74 with a little bit more information maybe i could help point you in the right direction. could you please send the URL to your website for analysis.
Thanks Chris
Hello Alioune!
if you can’t see ad custom fields on forms – try to check plugin settings
Section “Ad Fields” — “Add New display”, “Edit Ad display”, “Single Ad Display”
If this checkboxes are unchecked – try to check them.
Alioune, The best choice for the discussion of such questions – ask them on the support forum ACF Support
Post new thread on this forum and we are certainly will help you!
Thank you, Chris, for trying to help!
Hi Dikiforester,
The upcoming new plugin functionality, is it going to be a part of advanced custom fields or a complete new plugin?
Regards,
Dieter
This frame work will as a standalone program. But I will implement it to my plugins. There are two plugins where need “Role-Playing-User” :
1. ACFCP plugin and similar for other themes.
2. Sellers Place CP – advanced author’s page which looks like individual store.
Thank you for your reply dikiyforester.
What do you suggest, wait some time and buy the ACFCP plugin after the role-playing-user framework is added or buy it now and update the plugin after CP v3.2 comes out.
Best,
Dieter
I have only one position: I will not going to sell promises!
If current Plugin features is not meet your needs, then you should not buy it.
If some existing plugin features you need in the moment, then buy it now and you will save some money in future (price may change). The transition from one plugin version to the other will be smooth and you will not lose your data.
Thats fair enough.
I actually need some of of the exising features now so my best choice is to buy the plugin now.
Thank you for your reply.
Best,
Dieter
You are welcome)
Hi! Is possible change this plugin to use in JobRoller? If MOD needed, how much and time to do?
Of coarse I want to rebuild this plugin for JobRoller, Vantage and Clipper, but I have no time for it now. It’s not difficult, but need only time. When will ready beta version for JobRoller I can invite you to the beta testing, tell me your nickname on the forum.
Tkz dikiyforester! My nick in the forum is “entropiabr”. I’m from Brazil and my english is very bad, so many sorry!
If you want, send me a price to make that changes. I have some clients and this options are perfect! If this is possible, how much I pay for that two options (ClassiPress + JobRoller)?
My personal e-mail is:
And is possible to me make the translation and sold the plugin to you in Brazil, because my contacts.
Tkz for “speed”!
My English is not good too)))
No need to pay for changes, it will be a separate plugin –
– A similar plugin but only for JobRoller.
PS: I remove your email for safety reasons
Hi again! Tkz to exclude the email, my bad…
Ok about the price. I have a website online with ClassiPress, but some MOD’s was necessary to put online. See: http://www.agoraemais.com.br
My brazilian developer do the MOD’s. But to JobRoller this plugin is perfect!
Some idea of time to do that? You can remember me about?
Where are you from? Denmark or something?
Cool site. I looked at your registration page and noticed that you are using a mod. I can not guarantee that my plugin will work correctly with this mod – I have not seen code of mod.
About “Advanced Custom Fields for JobRoller” plugin: I can not say a release date. Sorry
Denmark? he-he it would be good))) but no, I am from Russian Federation)))
Tkz! My priority is the jobroller, but CP is important too. I have others websites with CP and no MOD’s.
In JobRoller I have only a MOD in home, with new widgets. See:
http://www.jobcorretor.com.br
Probably I buy the plugin to CP, and later the JobRoller version. If you have some time to do that, please, I buy and sell to you here, in Brazil! 🙂
You’re from Russia! Cool. My brother was there few months ago. He is a student in Iran, and travel a little. He was in Russia on December, I think.
Ok, I’ll let you know when “Advanced Custom Fields for JobRoller” plugin beta will ready.
This plugin will be sold at the “MarketPlace” therefore sell elsewhere is not allowed. But you can take part in Appthemes affiliate program, and get paid for it sale at 30% for each sold copy. This applies to all products “Appthemes” and “MarketPlace”.
I am guessing that your brother wanted to know what the real Russian winter, and so went to travel in December. I hope he is not too freeze.
He was lucky, he had seen the world in different places and and he’s got a lot of experience/impressions.
Hi
Just bought the plugin in and am getting invalid phone number for my country which is using 8 digits,(55555555) format.
Can you tell me how to rectify it and is there a manual on how to use the plugin?
In the admin panel for ACF options, i see
Registration form field
Edit form field
Author page display
Single ad display
Loop ad top
Loop ad bottom
Private field
I only understand that when i check the box in Registration form field, it will show in the registration form for new user. How about the rest of the options??
Am sure it is a useful plugin, but just need more documentations.
Thanks
I write help section for the plugin as well as i can write.
You can find “Help” button in right top of plugin settings screen.
Also You can read the same section on my dedicated Forum
http://forums.appthemes.com/acfcp-plugin-v1-0-help-section-36073/
Maybe you find usefull video tutorials for plugin also on forum
http://forums.appthemes.com/video-tuts-installing-using-acfcp-plugin-36003/
I add for you a new format 4d_4d. It allows you get values like:
55555555, 5555 5555, 5555-5555, 5555.5555
I just want to comment what an awesome plugin this is… I use it to create advanced registration details, and allow my customers to build lists of shipping details that will pre-fill in their ads. Absolutely fantastic plugin. Also I have never found such a cooperative and dedicated author. I had 2 or 3 issues to do with my mods on site and all were resolved with help from dikiyforester.
You can tell a lot of work had been put into the brain storming and development of this plugin and what a solid plugin it is, Dikiyforester is a complementary asset to the AT community, Thank you for being one step ahead!
This is a very useful plugin to compliment Classipress.
Have given it a 4 rating. Would have given it a 5 if it can edit the profile picture as well. Currently have to install another plugin to upload and change
the profile picture.
In my opinion, the size of the profile picture is too small. Hopefully in your next update, you will include my suggestion and set the size of the picture to minumum 150 x 150
My plugin does not have control over the profile image, and I have never said anyone that this opportunity is in the plugin.
Nevertheless, this is already in my todo list, but no date.
In any case thank you for rating!
Best of luck with this, you deserve it to be successful and I am sure it will be. You have put so much work in on this and I know that you are never satisfied with where it’s at in its development. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.
This is a must have addition to classipress in my opinion.
Keep up the good work 😉
First of all I would like to commend the hard work and support by dikiyforester.
ACF Advanced Custom Fields plugin for Classipress, probably is and still will be the most wanted plugin you will never need, you’ll be grateful for what you can get from this wonderful piece of work.
I used the plug-ACF and found that the user interface is so easy to understand with its five main tabs.
I would be lost without her, I have much control over the functionality of my website now.
The help and support that come with this plugin is excellent.
The author has put a lot of time and effort into writing documentation to assist in the care and support with this plugin, documentation, clean and fresh and very easy to understand, the documentation can be found here
You can also ask other customers, what they think, and I guarantee you first class support on all issues you raise, I usually get a response back within a few minutes of submitting any questions.
Hi,
I contacted you all ready on the classipress forum and thought lets ask the same question again over here :p
The plugin seems great only i want 1 simpel thing and cant figure out if this is suported.
On the ad page where you see the info about the poster and ofcourse the ad it zelf. Can i ad a costum field to the info about the poster that the poster can not change him self ?
Zo a costum field that can only be editted by the admin ?
Hi tjalling
The answer to your question is “YES” this can be achieved by the ACFCP plugin!!!
Here is how to achieve what you are trying accomplish.
When you create a custom field in ACFCP Options “Profile Fields” you can first set the field type and default value of your custom field.
You can then set the “Format & Limitations”, “Labels & Descriptions” for each custom field.
Once you have done the above, you can select from the “Display Options” how you would like the custom field to be displayed. To achieve what you have asked i found 2 ways that you can retrieve the data.
1. You can in the “Display Options” tick the check box in the column “Registration form field” relevant to your custom field. This will give new user on registration the option to input data into the field you have just created, if you also tick the check box “Single ad display”, once a post has been created this custom field will show in a single ad page just like you asked. If you do not want to allow the user to change this field in there profile then make sure “Edit form field” is deselected.
With the above in mind this option will allow you to gather information from the user him/her self and display the data from the registration field in a single ad page, without giving them the option in the profile page to change this data.
2. This option will offer an option of just the admin setting the data in the custom field.
First create the custom field like i mentioned above, on the “Display Options” make sure that all the column options are deselected apart from “Single Ad Display”.
This will not allow the user to see or change data from there profile page and show the data of this custom field in a single ad page.
However with the above options, when you are wanting to input the data for a specific user, you will need to go to the “Display Options” and tick the check box “Edit form field”, then go to the users, select the user that you are wanting to edit the data into. you will now see in the admin user page the custom field where you can enter your data.
Once you have done this you must go back to “Display Options” and deselect “Edit form field”. The reason for this is because this displays the “Edit form field” in the admin and user profile pages. By deselecting it you will hide the option for both user and admin to see and change this data.
This will then Display in a single ad page just like you wanted the data of that specific custom field that can not be edited or changed by a user.
Hope this help
However the Author may know of a better way to achieve this.
Regards
Chris
WOW! Chris, You are well versed in the plugin settings!!!
Thank you for help!
That’s right, the only thing I want to add – I need to add an option that allows the administrator to edit certain field, but it will prevent the user. I’ll do it in the next release.
Thanks
Oke well that’s sounds great. One more question before i buy it.
The costum field like i wanted is it posibel to make it a clikabel link ?
Hi Tjalling
Again the answer to your question is “YES”
Just for your information you can set the “Format Of Value” inside the ACFCP plugin to a URL to make it a true link, i have prepared a small video tutorial to cover this for you.
Sorry there is no sound, and i had to rush it due to time restrictions but at least it should cover your question.

Regards Chris
@Tjalling
Well, did you saw video by Chris?
As you can see you can add clicable link.
So Join our helpful community!
Thanks to Chris!
Oke finn will join in a couple of days tho trasfaring to paypal is taking a while.
Will watch the video when i have the plugin installed.
Nice support over here.

Can you tell me if the inputted data for the ad is able to be sent to admin in a notification email? At the moment (default setup) notification emails only include Title, Category, Author plus Preview Ad and Edit Ad links.
I’m trying to seek a way that the admin can copy/paste info to be also used in newspaper listings. Will your plugin allow them to do this?
Thank you,
Paulo
or an RSS feed with custom field data added… I forgot to mention that!
Cheers,
Paulo
Hi, Paulo!
Sorry, but ACFCP does not have this feature…
Your idea very interested for me, and i will think how realize it in future.
Thank you for your quick reply. I would be very happy if you could add this feature, it would be great.
I’m hoping that the form used to post an ad can behave like a contact form, so that all fields arrive in an email to the admin:
Name
Title
Contact
Price
Description
etc.
Hi, Paulo.
I looked out the ClassiPress files regarding email notifications. At the moment there is no way to connect the plugin to the emails function. Only through CP code modifications.
I will contact AppThemes Developers and maybe they are include action hook to this function, but maybe not.
