    Default pictures for the specific categories

    Most of the people click on classifieds with pictures.
    The thing is that many people do not upload any pics.
    And... I think that could be fixed by adding a feature in the ADMIN panel.

    * if no picture is uploaded - add one from the gallery, corresponding with the category the AD is listed to ( pre-default pictures are being uploaded by the admin for every category ).

    The truth is that people click where it's more colorful so we need pictures for EVERY add.

    I hope I've described my idea clearly

    Makes sense. You could also make the image upload field mandatory or easily put some default images in there on your own. Just go into the ads without images and paste in the url to the image. This goes into the image custom field box. Another option would be to overwrite the blank image placeholder with something more colorful.

    So you don't have the option of a "default" image assigned to each category listing?

    There is a default image but it's just a placeholder. You could replace this with something else more colorful if you wanted. It's the no-pic.png file in the images folder.

    Hi Dave, and welcome

    1. Yes you can move the image field, however this is not something you can do from the WP/CP Dashboard. You should be able to search for topics relating to this if you are unsure how to do so.

    2. Currently there isn't the ability for the user to add images after an ad is posted as a standard feature, however another member of the community has been able to achieve this and shared the info with others in this thread:
    http://wpclassipress.com/forum/viewt...4&t=947&p=3902. Also, you should know that the next version of CP v3.0 will have this feature included.

    3. I believe there are others who are running more than one language on their CP site, and again since this is customization work you could either seek help from the community in the form of a request in the Mods and Tutorials thread, or hire a coder.

    For future reference, please start a new topic for any questions you may have as they can easily be missed amongst existing threads. Thanks
