Paid Ad Features will show additional features to the user when posting an ad. With these features you will be able to change the look of ads and make them more attractive for users.

This plugin requires Classipress theme to be installed.

Why should I use this plugin?

Well, if you think featured ad that comes with Classipress is not enough and you want to make some extra money with your site, then this is the right plugin for you.

Here are some screenshots of plugin for you to see what can be accomplished with this plugin.

So how does this plugin work and what does it do?

This plugin includes multiple features and here are the features you will be able to select:

• Feature price
• Duration in days
• Background color
• Blinking background
• Hover color for background
• Border style
• Border thickness
• Border color
• Blinking border (does not work in ClassiPress 4)
• Hover color for border
• Bumped ad – ad is displayed on top
• Ribbon – show an image from your media library

How to use this plugin

After installing the plugin you should go to plugin’s settings and there you will click on a Plus button that will add your first feature.

Adding your first feature

Feature settings

On the left you have “Enable” checkbox that will enable the feature. Not enabled features are not shown to users.
Next is “Feature name” and “Description” that are shown after Featured ad selection when posting an ad.
In the “Price” field you specify the price a user has to pay to get this feature.
“Duration” is time in days that this feature will be available for certain ad. After that, the feature is removed and the ad is shows as other ads.
“Bumped ad” means the ad will be shown on top of all other ads.
“Remove Featured Class” option will not show an ad as a featured ad. Child themes usually display featured ads with some ribbon, different background… If you select this, the ad will be displayed as a normal ad.
“Featured ad” will make an ad show as a featured ad
“Expire ad” will expire ad after duration
“Border Type” sets a type of ad border.
“Border width” and “Color” are basic settings for border.
“Pulse border” means the border will blink. With “Pulse speed” you can set speed and with “Pulse opacity” you can set min opacity when blinking.
“Hover color” is the color of the element when you hover it with mouse.
Same settings apply to background element.

You can combine all elements into one feature setting if you like, but pulsing on border and background at the same time will not work. In this case select only background pulsing.

As you have probably noticed there is a number shown on the left of the feature that represents the number of ads using that feature.
If you decide to delete some feature, you won’t be able to do that until that number reaches zero. So if you would like to take away a feature, first disable it. Ads using this feature will still be shown with that feature until that feature expires. After that you will be able to delete it.

Changing feature settings

You can change feature settings even if there are ads using it, but some settings won’t be reflected until a feature expires for certain ads.
These settings are:

• Duration
• Bumped ad
• Ribbon

All style features are reflected on the ads immediately.

.post-block class
Since you are all using child themes and every theme has different design you should go to your child theme style.css file and search for .post-block class. Copy it to the box and if there is a setting for background, change it to background:transparent;.

Language files included:

• English

Compatibility

This plugin also works with child themes.
This plugin has been tested on Classipress 3.6.x and 4.x
