ListingCore stores the listing data entered by the listing author (title, description, price, location, condition, and contact details such as phone and email) and each listing's view count, and stores each user's saved (wishlist) listings. Listing contact details are not publicly exposed. The contact-seller form emails the visitor's name, email, phone, and message to the listing author. Paid-listing and expiry events send transactional emails to the listing author. ListingCore does not transmit data to third-party services; if enabled, payment processing is handled by WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the plugin folder to the
\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install via the WordPress plugin installer by uploading the ZIP file.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Go to Listings \u2192 Categories<\/strong> and add your listing categories.<\/li>\n
- Create pages for your Submit Listing form and User Dashboard, and add the relevant shortcodes (
[listingcore_listing_form]<\/code>, [listingcore_user_dashboard]<\/code>).<\/li>\n- Use the shortcodes in any page or post to display listings, categories, and search forms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDo I need this plugin to use the ClassiPress Pro theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The theme handles presentation only. This plugin provides the classified ads data layer (post types, taxonomies, roles, shortcodes, and AJAX functionality).<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I use this plugin with a different theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe plugin works independently of the ClassiPress Pro theme. The user dashboard, listing submission and edit forms, contact form, and the single-listing detail page are plugin-owned, and themes can override any of them. The listing post type and all admin features work with any theme.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I add icons to listing categories?<\/h3><\/dt>\nEdit any listing category under Listings \u2192 Categories<\/strong> and enter an emoji or icon character in the \"Category Icon\" field. This appears in the category grid on the homepage and archive pages.<\/p><\/dd>\nAre paid listings supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Paid listings run through WooCommerce. Create listing packages (each with a price, duration, and optional Featured\/Urgent\/Verified flags), map each package to a WooCommerce product, and select a package when submitting a listing.<\/p>\n\n
When a package is selected, the listing is held as pending<\/code> until the WooCommerce order is completed, at which point the listing is activated and published with its package entitlements. When the paid period ends, the paid entitlements are cleared and the owner can renew the listing (choosing the same or another package). If an order is cancelled or refunded, the paid entitlement is revoked.<\/p>\n\nWooCommerce is required for paid listings. Free listing submission remains available without WooCommerce and is published immediately.<\/p>\n\n
Authors receive email confirmations for successful payment, successful renewal, cancellation, and refund, in addition to the daily expiry reminders.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I set a listing expiry date?<\/h3><\/dt>\nWhen editing a listing in the WordPress admin, use the Listing Status<\/strong> meta box on the right side to set an expiry date. The plugin's daily cron job notifies the author 3 days before expiry and again when the listing expires. On natural expiry, a paid listing's trust entitlements (Featured\/Urgent\/Verified) are cleared; the listing itself is not automatically unpublished.<\/p><\/dd>\nIs this plugin translation-ready?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. All strings use the listingcore<\/code> text domain.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes this work with Elementor or other page builders?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The shortcodes work in any page builder. The ClassiPress Pro theme also registers Elementor theme locations (header, footer, single, archive) for full Elementor template builder support.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I display the user dashboard?<\/h3><\/dt>\nCreate a page and add the shortcode [listingcore_user_dashboard]<\/code> to its content. Visitors who are not logged in will see a login prompt. Logged-in users see their listings with status, date, expiry, edit, delete, and renew actions.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Security: sanitize and validate frontend submission\/update form input at the request boundary (title, description, price, URL, location, enum, and boolean fields).<\/li>\n
- Security: escape all frontend and AJAX renderer output through explicit KSES allowlists, including filtered listing detail fields, listing cards, wishlist buttons, contact forms, and package selectors.<\/li>\n
- Removed obsolete
phpcs:ignore<\/code> suppression comments from code that is now properly sanitized and escaped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial release.<\/li>\n
- Registered
listing<\/code> and listing_package<\/code> custom post types.<\/li>\n- Registered

listing_poster<\/code> and listing_moderator<\/code> user roles.<\/li>\n- Added shortcodes:
