Thread: A couple of questions about Classipress

Logo, header and colors

I would be really interested, too..., if you plan to add location...

I am looking for the perfect theme/plugin for my wordpress blog, it is related to a country...so without location, it is difficult to use your theme.

My question: Is it possible to change the header, logo, colors easily to make it looking like my blog ?

Regards.

I'm not sure what you mean by "plan to add location"? There certainly are location fields for ads in the existing version of the theme, there just isn't an option that automatically divides and filters locations like e.g. craigslist.

The next version of the theme V3.1 with the advanced search functionality will allow these ads to be searched by location and or whatever custom fields you choose to use.

If you wanted to place locations as the parent category you could do so. OR, as I mentioned in my other post create a multisite setup so you have an instance for each States/Province linked together via that network. This can be a tidier option for bigger countries divided into States, or someone wanting a separate instance for each country when you also have a lot of categories for each.

From within the ClassiPress admin dashboard you can set your own logo, and one of the 10 color schemes, but if you wish to completely change the colors to what is outside of the options then this would involve customization on your part. So how "easy" that is, is relative to your level of coding knowledge.

Thank you Pepsi !

Your team works really good , your themes and your replies on this forum are impressive.

Sorry for my english, I am french.

I have 4 last (?) questions:

1) Could I, when I begin with classipress, add old classified and keep an old date ?
For exemple, I will add manualy classifieds wich were posted in an other website in 2010 or example.

Can I put on my classipress this date for classified that I will add in the beginning (as we can do it for a post in wordpress, choosing the date...)


2) Could we hide, easily, authors name above each classifieds ?

3) In your demo (Demo Center | AppThemes) the author has an "author page" (David | ClassiPress Demo)

Could we disable that ?


4) I have my blog on www.xxxx.com and I will install a new wordpress for classipress in www.xxxx.com/classified.

Could I use the widget "From the Blog" which will display the last post from my blog www.xxxx.com ?

1) If you wanted to import ads from an existing Classifieds theme, then the most likely scenario would involve you importing them, and then creating a custom mysql query in order to move the ads to the correct location. This is because ClassiPress uses custom post types and taxonomies (which you can read more about in this blog post), and many of the import plugins do not support custom post types, so it means the ads get imported under "Posts" instead of "Ads". If you only had a few ads though, and added them manually, you wouldn't have such issues.

2) With some customization, yes this could be done.

3) This would also involve some customization on your part. Whether or not you find this easy to do is relative to your level of coding knowledge.

4) The "From the blog" widget is designed to pick up blog post entries from the ClassiPress installation, so in order for it to work as you describe, again it would involve customization of the theme.
