About
WP 2 CL Classifieds Theme turns an ordinary wordpress installation into a classifieds listing site modeled after craigslist. Just install wordpress, upload WP 2 CL Classifieds, activate WP 2 CL Classifieds and you’re well on your way to having your own listings site. Setting up your listing sites works the same way as setting up your wordpress blog. Add categories for your listings site the same way you add categories to any ordinary wordpress blog. The regions (countries, cities, states) are wordpress pages. You add a region by creating a page with the region name. WP 2 CL Classifieds will be able to organize your listings according to the location under which they are posted thereby making your pages like region categories that can be browsed like ordinary wordpress categories.
Features
WP 2 CL Classifieds Theme uses the features already built into wordpress to turn your wordpress installation into a classifieds listing site like craigslist. Users register on your site using the regular wordpress registration. Of course you need to make sure you have registration allowed in your wordpress settings, and you need to set the default user role to contributor. To help you control spam and better organize your listings, only registered users are allowed to submit listings. There is a built-in reply to ad system. You can allow or disallow non-registered users replying to ads from the theme options page.
Once a user is registered and logged in, they can add listings the same way they would add a regular wordpress post. The system uses a simple post process to collect the minimum required information to make the post. After the user has submitted a listing, the user can modify the listing at any time using the post editing feature built into wordpress.

I notice there is nothing in the forum about this theme yet.
David Kidd, thanks for your questioin. Yes, I have plans to further develop WP 2 CL Classifieds.
when it is going to be ready, more or less?
Will there be a feature that allows for posting without the registration option? Having kinda both works better for the end user, wouldn’t it?
With the search function, I noticed that, if the user is in a particular place, the search looks at the entire site instead of that particular spot their in.
Bobby, thank you for the info. I will give some thought to the posting without registration option to see how it can work out.
Hello there,
What about translation(multi) of the thema for visitors? Do you have an good working plugin and tested package !!!
Thanks, Hamilton
Hi there just wondering how long this has been tested for as i am looking for a classified ads department on our website. many thanks
Damian, the WP 2 CL Classifieds theme is still a young project.
I like the product. Just getting it up and running. I can’t understand why the selected city advances to the next city when you press the add a new listing feature. Example. If I select Atlanta, the select add a new listing, the city changes to Boston which is the next on the list.
Where can the problem be viewed?
