can a shortcode be ran within the widget ? and can it be a different shortcode depending on the category being viewed? many thanks
Hi madmanc,
The plugin provide widget space to display widget in the sidebar.
What ever widget you will use will display. And to display the widget you should use plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/
Thanks
thanks for that , unfortunately the new widget always sits below refine results widget on category pages. it does not truly sit above main as set….
Hi madmanc,
Because the refine results is coded at most first and sidebar action hook after that only that’s why you can see sidebar below that only.
Thanks
ok thanks, as it cant be set above main (thats where i need it 100%) and thats the only reason i bought plugin (shame as its ALMOST perfect), can i ask for a refund , i shall delete the plugin , thankyou .
maybe reword your page to reflect this so it is clear it cant be set above main content. thanks again
also vipul , when you add a widget to a category page , if you use the refine results , once the page is reloaded the widgets disappear once you press the refine results button. can this be avoided?
HI martin,
Refine results goes to search page / all ads page and not remain on category page.
Thanks
any update on a refund? the widget isnt ABOVE others like stated , i have no use for it unforunatley.
thanks
HI madmanc,
You may apply for refund on marketplace@appthemes.com
As while you see sidebar.php file from ClassiPress theme the only filter will display first and there are not any action hook to display any thing above those filters. So as per your demand we cannot change, it is not possible and I think you may have check our demo as we have display the demo and filter is always above the additional widgets. Sorry for inconvenient.
Thanks
Important Notice: – Members, please do not buy ‘ClassiPress’ theme because
The users cannot post Ads directly as free ads, this is very important to classified sites, only admins can post, this complained in the Apptheme forms several times
but the problem is not solved by the theme developer
