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!

    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!

  • dikiyforester

    So i can add new limitation methods for multi select fields:

    • minchoice
    • maxchoice
    • rangechoice

    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?

  • dikiyforester

    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!

  • nayyer

    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

  • dikiyforester

    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.

  • nayyer

    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.

  • dikiyforester

    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.

  • hostking

    That is goof enough for me, so the drop down menu will convert existing classipress menus, existing text and information to another language?

  • hostking

    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?

  • hostking

    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?

  • dikiyforester

    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.
