CP Addons
CP Addons is plugin #1 for monetization of your ClassiPress site.
It allows creating unlimited pricing add-ons with different enhancements for listings.
Plugin Features
- Unlimited Add-ons can be created
- The listing owner can purchase new add-ons or prolong existing via a special payment form. There are appropriate buttons on the user dashboard and listing page.
- The site owner can apply any addon to any listing manually through the back-end listing form.
- The add-ons can be included to the listing Packages as default features. So the user can purchase an Add-ons bundle with discounts.
- The add-ons can be included to the Membership Packages as default features for new ads.
- The add-ons can be excluded from the listing/Membership Packages, so users can’t purchase or upgrade addons within the package
- Each add-on can have multiple prices and durations.
- The plugin shipped with a widget with a highly customizable slider where you can display random ads or ads filtered by an addon.
- Compatible with ClassiPress 3.6.1 and ClassiPress 4.0.0+
Listing Enhancements
Each addon can be configured with a number of features. They will be applied to the listing after addon activation.
- Extend listing duration – Purchased addon prolongs listing duration on number of days configured in the addon’s settings.
- Show on Top – Display the listing on the top of other listings
- Bump period – Allows periodically bump listing on the top (every hour, day, week, as you wish)
- Custom CSS – Allows applying custom styles to the listing. Highlight with color, bold text, ribbon or the badge – can be added via CSS
Default Add-ons from the box
We’ve added some preinstalled add-ons so you can see how easy they can be configured.
- Highlight – Highlights the listing with a custom background-color
- Premium – Sticks the listing on the top of other listings (in search results and taxonomies archives)
- Bump Ad – Bump the listing on the top once a day.
- VIP – Displays Ad in a featured slider on the home page.

wasted money. no solution is produced. I bought it, I can’t use it. I just want to use it on the user panel.
What a solution you are looking for?
Please create a new support forum thread, explain your issue and get help.
Will this work with child themes or just the base Classipress theme?
It will work with child themes for sure. Although, sometimes, may need some extra styling to make it look best.
it is possible to place advertisements free of charge for a certain period at the beginning. About the first 14 days free of charge, then the first payment?
Unfortunately there is no such feature.
This plugin is compatible with this theme http://demos.jobthemes.com/eclassify-demo.php

Hello!
Please create a new support forum thread https://forums.appthemes.com/cp-addons/ and describe the issue. The screenshot would help a lot.
Also, if you don’t mind, send me your site URL in PM, so I can inspect the slider and help you better.

Thank you very much, now everything is working fine, the plugin is perfect and I recommend it to everyone
Excellent! It was a pleasure to help you!
Could you help me with just one more thing, the ad headline has a problem fitting in the ad box? How could I limit the size of the headline, so that it would be better presentable? If you can tell me how to do it I would appreciate it very much

Another thing would you have the payment method of Mercado Pago or PayU here for Brazil?
Add following CSS code to the Additional CSS section of the WordPress Customizer:

Thank you Artem! Can you please tell us which files were affected? I just finished adjusting the css styling on the last release and I’m afraid to override them with the newest update 🙁
Yes, sure,
templates/planless-addon-options.php
andincludes/class-view-process-create.php
I have a short instruction on how to compare files and folders to see the changes between versions, take a look if you’re interested https://arthemes.org/blog/comparing-files-and-folders/
Ah YES! Meld app! Will download it and check it out, thank you for the headsup!
Friend thanks a lot for the help, the app was great, I’m just having a problem translating some texts into my language, I found the languages folder and includes 2 new files pt_BR.mo and pt-BR.po, but the texts are not translating , do I need to do anything besides putting these 2 files in the languages folder?
Add text domain prefix, so your files will be dkf-cp-addons-pt_BR.mo and dkf-cp-addons-pt_BR.po.
Artem,
We are currently running Version 1.1.2 which I know has been updated but we are not finding anywhere allowing us to do that. Its not showing as an option in either the WP Plugin screen or Dashboard Updates. How do we get this updated? Does it need to be removed and added back? Will that disrupt our current advertisers?
Let me know what I need to do.
Thanks!
Veronica
Hello Veronica!
Glad to see you! The plugin can be updated from the WP Plugin screen or Dashboard Updates, but you need to install free AppThemes Updater plugin to tell WordPress where to look for updates.
Read more about Updater plugin in this post https://www.appthemes.com/blog/new-plugin-to-keep-your-themes-healthy/
Best Regards!
Hello!
Just created a demo site, where you guys can test CP Addons plugin before purchase https://demos.arthemes.org/cp-addons/.
Regards!
Artem,
We do have that on there already, I have even just manually had it recheck… Everything is showing as current with no new updates needed, but our CP addons is still only showing Version 1.1.2
Veronica
Veronica,
Unfortunately I don’t know what is wrong, not enough info. Maybe this is due to incorrect AppThemes key entered into the Updater plugin, or maybe the key from another account?
Also, check the plugin folder name, just in case.
If this doesn’t help, just download new version from your AppThemes dashboard, unzip and replace the folder on the server with new one.
Finally, I can update the plugin for you on your site, but I would need an admin creds (which you can send via forum private message).
Regards!
Artem,
I have tried loading the current version but keep getting a message stating that it has failed so I do need assistance. For some reason I can’t access the PM either? Can you shoot me a note, maybe it will let me respond.
Thanks!
Veronica
Veronica,
I’ve sent a note via PM. If this didn’t help I would suggest contacting the AppThemes, maybe something with your account.
Good Luck!
Is it possible with your plugin, to allow ads to be featured for just one week. And then the person has to pay again to extend it, or later could pay to feature the ad again? I wasn’t sure if your plugin allowed a set time for items to be in the featured section. thanks.
Yes, sure, you can set duration for each addon. Moreover, you can set multiple Price/Duration pairs for each addons. For example “5 days for $3”, “10 days for $5”, “30 days for $10”, etc.
Person can extend existing addons or purchase new ones using Upgrade procedure, linked to user dashboard and listing page.
Hello, I’m having problems on my website with CP ADDONS, nothing stopped appearing on my website, I didn’t do anything to change my website and I don’t know why the ads aren’t showing anymore, the website is https://mercadodinamico.com.br could you help me make the plugin work correctly?
Please follow your thread on the support forum.
Hello,
I currently have over 3000 expired ads (since the last Classipress 4.2 update).
I don’t want ads to expire in general.
Could your plugin easily allow me to re-publish them?
Anthony
Hi! The CP Addons plugin can’t do that. Why wouldn’t you just disable “cp_ad_expired_check” cron job that supposed to expire ads? There are some free plugins for managing cron jobs, check them out.
Thanks you for your answer. I already unchecked cp_ad_expired but now I want automatically re-publish all expired ads….
3000 ads it’s not so big number. You can re-publish them via Quick Edit form. Open Ads page in admin dashboard, open Expired tab, set number to show 300-350 ads per page, then select all and Quick Edit, set status to Publish, save and go to the next page.
YES! I can do that, thank you for your time.
Hello!

Hi there!
CP Addons plugin has been updated to version 1.3.4.
Fixed a regression bug appeared since 1.3.3 for ClassiPress 3.x users.
With this plug-in, will featured (paid) ads always come first?
It is possible to determine an order among the featured (paid) ads, example: who paid a more expensive plan to enter first?
If don’t meet our expectations, how can I, and how soon can I request a refund?
Hello!
Yes, featured ads will be shown on top of others in the ad archive, ad category archive and search.
By default, only Premium addon has such feature, but you can enable it for any other addon activating option “Show on Top”.
You can not determine an order among featured ads!
For refunds, please contact the site administration. Marketplace sellers can not manage refunds.
Regards!
