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.

Hello!
With this plugin you can add new profile fields with various types and formats. But not images, unfortunately.
Also no custom widgets provided by plugin.
Thank you for asking!
is it done for vantage yet?
Not yet but very close. Unfortunately I’m behind my schedule (
Do you have a estimated time line, b/c we trying to decide to code this ourselves right now and we are ready to press go. Maybe you can email me direct matthew [at] smallbusinessonlinecoach.com Maybe we can even contract you to help us. Happy to pay.
HI,
I get this on my classipress site, any update on this?
Hi!
It seems that you have updated CP to 3.2.1, but the plugin is not updated. Download latest version and re-install plugin.
I also ask you not to use the comments to address such issues related to the plugin. Please use the support forum http://forums.appthemes.com/advanced-custom-fields/.
aha, i see 🙂
Thank you, and i will use the forum later.
Hi! how can i create a password field like in the Demo? Thanks!
Password?
Maybe you meant anti spam question? if so, send me your email in PM and i’ll send you my “Good Question” plugin. It will available soon at public.
And I ask you not to use the comments to address issues to ACFCP plugin. To do this, there is a dedicated forum.
Questions about the anti-spam plugin, please ask directly to the PM until “Qood Question” public appearance.
Thanks
will this plug allow classipress to support more than 3 main menus?
Great plugin! Works like a charm! And the support is just perfect!
Many thanks for you are doing for the Appthemes community!
Hi, does this plugin have a multi-select field where you can specify a max amount of options one can select.
Hello, Melissa!
Unfortunately, no.
Do you want me to add this feature in the next version?
Yes, I am very interested in buying this plugin, and I really need that feature. So I’m thinking like a multi select field that scrolls. I have a horse classifieds site and want people to select up to 5 skills that their horse has as one of the fields.
Thanks!
So i can add new limitation methods for multi select fields:
You will be able to set one of these methods as a normal limitation of the field.
I want to use classipress for a book donation website. Donors will post the list of available books. Once the book is donated, he should be able to change the status of the listing to ‘donated’ and extra fields like donor name and other details should display in the front end. If the status of the listing is ‘available’ those fields should be hidden. Is that possible with this plugin?
So we are speak about front-end – single ad page?
If ad fields “donor name” and other details not filled – it will not shown in this page. To show it just need edit ad and fill this values.
‘donated’ – is synonym for ‘sold’ – you just need to rename it. And it can be marked through user dashboard.
So i don’t understand why you need this plugin if you can do it with standard ClassiPress functionality. Maybe i don’t understand something?
Regards!
Hi Dikiyforester,
Any update on when this might be compatible with the Dynamic MultiLevel Fields plugin? I’m dying to use your plugin but can not make the two work together!
Thank-you
Hi!
We discussed this with another seller and came to the conclusion that the chain ends in his product. Ie Ensuring compatibility should provide a second product. Now he is temporarily unable to work it out, but for a few days we will continue to work on this.
Thanks for your quick response – please do keep this thread posted with any update
Thankyou!
Hello I just purchased classipress and i am interested in this plugin, This may be a silly question but i will ask anyway; In this plugin is there a section to add viewable multiple languages flags?
My website is multi language and i would like the option for my visitors to pick a flag of their choice.
Hello!
There is no such option. You can add an additional field with the drop down list of languages. But the image through this plugin you can not insert. Sorry.
That is goof enough for me, so the drop down menu will convert existing classipress menus, existing text and information to another language?
Thank you for your quick response!
That is good enough for me, so the drop down menu will convert existing classipress menus, existing text and information to another language?
Thank you for your quick reply! One more question before buying, can i use this plugin on another classified ad website if i choose to create one?
so the drop down menu will convert existing classipress menus, existing text and information to another language?
No, this plugin can’t convert information to another language. It seems that you’re a little misinformed about the possibilities of the plugin.
This requires the development of additional code.
can i use this plugin on another classified ad website if i choose to create one?
Yes, as much as you want.
