content articles

Forgive me if this has been an answered but I didn't find it in the archives:

I'm putting together a niche classifieds site and need to be able to add articles. How would this be done?

Re: content articles

ClassiPress allows you to list classified ads only. If you wanted to also have an articles section I recommend setting up a separate instance of WordPress and making that your blog/article engine.

Re: content articles

By having a second instance of WP, how does this affect SEO?

How would I link to the articles?

Re: content articles

This wouldn't affect SEO at all.

I've seen several customers have their blog/site setup as the root, and then have classipress setup as a sub-directory.

http://www.yoursite.com <-- this is your first instance of WP.
http://www.yoursite.com/classifieds <-- this is your second instance of WP for classipress.

You could then just link to your articles from wherever you like.

Re: content articles

Classifieds would be the main content with articles as secondary.

I suppose related products and advertisers could be posted as well as items for sale, with their own categories...

Can eBay plugins be used with this theme?

Re: content articles

I haven't tried an eBay plugin but it should work ok.

Re: content articles

Hi, just hanging around, waiting for 2.9...

An interesting idea... Anyone have experience with eBay plugins?

Also, if you only need 1 or 2 articles, creating a new page might solve the problem.

Re: content articles

If content articles are in a separate WP install, how do I show links on the main classifieds page?

Could articles be just another category and mix with the other classifieds?

Are tags supported for the ads?

Re: content articles

yes tag support for all ad ..
If u want to show link on the main page (another wp), use rss feed plugin but i think below suggestion will be better solution :)


u can create another Category about article (with sub) and classifieds (with sub product type, brand, name and bla) ....

Re: content articles

Sorry to be so dense, but I'm not sure I understood all of this response... Can someone restate this, so that an old guy can get a clearer picture. Thanks to all of you for your help.
