How do I setup Classifieds WP?

Have a look at the Getting Started guides for help and advice on getting started with the plugin. In most cases it's just a case of adding some shortcodes to your pages.

Can I use Classifieds WP without frontend classified submission?

Yes, you don't need to have a dedicated page / shortcode for front end submission at all. This would imply that you'll be manually adding classified listings through the WordPress backend.

How can I customize the classified submission form?

There are three ways to customise the fields in Classifieds WP;

1. For simple word / string changes, you could use 3rd party plugins like Say What or Loco Translate
2. For field changes or adding new fields, you would need to use CWP hooks / filters inside your theme / child theme functions.php file. This does require a coding background and it'd be best to get in touch with a web developer for this.

If you'd like to learn about WordPress filters, we recommend having a look at the following guide: A Quick Introduction to using Filters

How can I be notified of new classifieds via email?

The easiest would be to use a 3rd party plugin like Post Status Notifier.

What language files are available?

Classifieds WP doesn't have any native translations available for download. However, it does come with a .pot file which can be used alongside Loco Translate or Poedit.

Getting started

Once installed:

1. Create a page called "classifieds" and inside place the [classifieds] shortcode. This will list your classifieds.
2. Create a page called "submit classified" and inside place the [submit_classified_form] shortcode if you want front-end submissions.
3. Create a page called "classified dashboard" and inside place the [classified_dashboard] shortcode for logged in users to manage their listings.

Note when using shortcodes, if the content looks blown up/spaced out/poorly styled, edit your page and above the visual editor click on the 'text' tab. Then remove any 'pre' or 'code' tags wrapping your shortcode.
