Support Policy
Support is only available via email from our email address:
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.

let me know what you are facing so i can help you better.
Hello,
I read that the plugin works with Classipress 4.0.0. Since I only bought Classipress recently, I only have version 4.2.0 available. Does the plugin also work with this version?
I have another question: Can the plugin also be used to set certain fields to only be visible if the user also has an active membership package?
Thank you, AL
Hi Zakaro
Thanks for the comment.
Yes the plugin works perefctly with 4.2
To hide the fields for users based on memberships or user roles, here is the addon of the ACF for CP https://themebound.com/shop/acf-privacy-classipress/
Cheers
plugin muito bom – resolveu todos meus problemas com a configuração de campos – recomendo a todos – um excelente trabalho do desenvolvedor
very good plugin – solved all my problems with the configuration of fields – recommend it to everyone – excellent work by the developer
Can I add a password and phone number to the user registration form with this plugin?
Hi there,
I have a problem with the configuration of the “Advanced Custom Fields for ClassiPress” plugin.
I’ve tried quite a few combinations. None of the settings I made led to success.
I want to achieve the following:
– Users must be logged in AND have bought a certain membership package in order to be able to see certain fields (e.g. street in the profile and street in the ad).
How do I have to set the plugin to achieve this?
Many thanks for your help!
Thanks, AL
Hi,
I have replied you by email.
you can achieve that by using this addon https://themebound.com/shop/acf-paid-fields-plugin-classipress/
Cheers

Hi Buddah,
– Yes the latest version of ACF/CP is compatible with the latest one of Classipress, but I am not sure which third party plugins are compatible or not.
The plugin is updated.
I was sending you earlier through your website themebound an email with my website link. If you need access please send me your direct email so that I can email you the login information. Thanks
is there any update on the problem with the address plug in yet please?#
Hello Moshin, did you looked into the plugin issue, I’m have this error message show on my website all ads, “Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home2/mywebsite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-for-ClassiPress/includes/acf-content.php on line 308”. I hope this issue can be fixed asap. Thanks
