    What would be great is if we could have "featured ads" per category. By this I mean that if a user is viewing a particular category it would show the featured ads for that particular category at the top just as the front page version does.

    I`ll support that option also! Good idea!

    You can try using the code below. Just copy the formatting of Classipress for the posts and you are good to go. You can paste it just after this <h2><?php _e('Listings for','cp')?> <?php single_cat_title(); ?> (<?php echo $wp_query->found_posts ?>)</h2> in the archive-default.php .

    Code:
    <?php
    $cat = get_query_var('cat');
    $sticky=get_option('sticky_posts');
    $args=array(
      'post__in' => $sticky,
      'category__in'=>array($cat)
       );
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> "><?php the_title(); ?>
        <?php
        the_content();
        //this is necessary to show the tags
        global $wp_query;
        $wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
        the_tags();
      endwhile;
    }
    ?>
    I have not yet tested it on my classipress site but I have it working on my other wordpress site. For reference, here's wordpress forum link where I got the code from, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/272324?replies=2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    Please help our moderating team work more efficiently by not sending us support questions via PM. You can read more about how AppThemes support works here. However, you can send a PM to follow up and remind me if I missed your support request/thread.

    Thank you and have a nice day.
