3. There was a somehow good PAID theme/plugin for Classifieds, named Classipress but i see now it is abandoned.
Right. Working great. I remember I bought it at this time and was well in advance.
Time permitting , I'll give it a try again (...have to hit the archive HD stored somewhere..... :((
4. If you are an advanced Wordpress webmaster (or if you can hire one), you could adjust a Directory plugin to work for classifieds also. Also some clever workarounds will be needed, -for example- to bypass the custom login/register functions of the plugins.
Good luck
Right too !!
and replacing the default pre-included header in the files of your template would easily permit to bypass the login/register function.
Actually the modularity and design of WordPress allows it easily.
Hi, It took me a bit longer to evaluate some Wordpress options. So far nothing at Wordpress.org fits my needs. One plugin i liked is mostly for creating a Directory and doesn't seem to support classifieds.
I found 2 theme's for Wordpress (paid) at Themeforest.com and at Codecanyon.com that seem nice.
So i consider to stay with Osclass script and probably buy a theme from Osclasspoint.com.
What do you think?
@true-detective Hi,
A few months back we switched from Osclass to Wordpress using:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hivepress/
We run a regional site. We had to start from scratch, with zero ads since we only managed to import our Users from Osclass. They needed to make a new password but that was understandable.
We tried to import also the ads but failed.
With HivePress, if you use their free theme (ListingsHive or something like that) everything is done (almost). If you use some other theme, you have to do some work.
But it works fine and the support is great. They run a forum of their own at
https://community.hivepress.io/
I hope i have helped.
@asaga Sorry to see you departing from Osclass platform, still i fully understand.
Also thanks for the tips using Wordpress and that plugin you mention.
I hope we will be seeing you again here!
All the best
what about osclass classified wordpress plugin from original osclass team? anybody used it?
I have it with me. If we can modify it to make it work, i think it will make a good alternative to current osclass.
