Unlock the full potential of your WordPress site by transforming it into a complete, professional classifieds and business directory. WP Classifieds v1.6.0 is a comprehensive solution that gives you and your users all the tools needed to create, manage, and display listings with unparalleled flexibility.
Frontend Submission Form [wpc_classifieds_form]
Empower your users with a sleek, two-step submission form that’s both smart and easy to use.
- Dynamic Cascading Categories: Users first select a main category (e.g., “For Sale,” “Local Services,” “Jobs / Careers”), and a sub-category dropdown appears instantly via AJAX.
- Smart Price Fields: The price input field changes based on the category! Options include “Make Me An Offer” for “For Sale,” “Get Quote” for “Services,” and “Salary” or “Per Hour” for “Jobs.” It also fully supports “Free ($0.00)” listings.
- Rich Media Uploads: Users can upload a required main photo, an additional image gallery (up to 5 photos), and up to 4 YouTube video URLs.
- Google Maps Integration: A Google Places-powered address field autocompletes locations, with an option for users to hide their exact address and “Only show the city.”
- Listing Duration: Users can set listings to run forever, until a specific date, or as an auction with an end date/time.
Configurable Listing Grid [wpc_classifieds_grid]
Display your listings anywhere with a powerful and versatile grid shortcode. You get 5 independent instances to configure in the admin panel.
- 5 Unique Instances: Use
[wpc_classifieds_grid instance="1"](through 5) to display different sets of listings across your site. - Layout Control: Choose between a 1-Column List, 2-Column Grid, 3-Column Grid, or 4-Column Grid for desktop. All layouts are fully responsive and default to a single column on mobile.
- Filter by Category: Use the checklist in the admin to select exactly which categories to display in each instance. Includes a “Select All” button for convenience.
- Display Toggles: For each instance, you can choose to show or hide the listing’s Category, Publish Date, and End Date.
Professional Single Listing Page
Modeled after a Google Business Profile, the listing page is designed to convert. It features the listing’s main photo as a dynamic cover image and automatically uses the author’s User Profile Image (Avatar) as the business logo.
- Drag-and-Drop Layout Editor: Take full control. Go to the admin panel to drag and drop sections (like Photos, Gallery, Videos, Description, Map, and Contact) into a main column or a sidebar.
- Global Aspect Ratio: A single setting lets you choose between 1:1 (Square) and 16:9 (Widescreen) for all gallery and grid images site-wide.
- Galleries & Maps: Includes a beautiful image gallery with a full-screen lightbox (with next/prev arrows) and an embedded YouTube video player modal. The listing map is interactive for users.
- Frontend Editing: Listing authors can click an “Update Listing” button on their own post to open a modal and edit all details from the frontend.
Other Included Shortcodes & Features
- [wpc_classifieds_map]: Display a single, filterable map showing all your listings.
- [wpc_classifieds_categories]: Show a 3-column list of all your classified categories.
- Admin Management: A simple, single-page settings panel (no tabs) with a Google API Key verifier. You control default post status (pending/publish) and can add/manage categories (like the newly added ‘Collectables’) directly from the core WordPress “Posts » Categories” menu.
