Hi,
1. you can do that using either the Authors extension https://wpadverts.com/extensions/authors/ or the free Ads By Author snippet https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/ads-by-author/ads-by-author.php.
How to install the snippet you can read here https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/ at the bottom of the page.
2. we have a Limit Listings snippet https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/limit-listings/limit-listings.php which should be doing what you would like to do.
After installing it (as explained above), edit the Free pricing from wp-admin / Classifieds / Options / Payments / Pricing panel, you should see two fields:
– Max Listings – enter here “1”
– Interval – enter here “36000”
What this will do is that the users will be able to post only “1” free ad every 360000 days (100 years).
Note that this will work only for users who are logged in while posting an Ad from [adverts_add], for unregistered users it is not really possible to check how many Ads the user already posted, so you would need to make the [adverts_add] shortcode available for logged in users only.
Thanks, Greg!
Limit listings work perfectly!
But i have a problem with Ads by author, when i clicking the link appear this error:
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘search_bar’ in /data01/virt81062/domeenid/www.nedia.eu/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/ads-by-author/ads-by-author.php on line 51
And is it possible when clicking the link then redirect to the author s profile page(Ultimate Member plugin), not to show author s ads?
Thank You!
Hi,
1. this is just a notice it does not actually break the site, but in order to fix it open the ads-by-author.php file and on the line 51 before $params["search_bar"] = "disabled"; add
if( ! is_array( $params ) ) {
$params = array();
}
2. if you would like the author link to point to the UM plugin user profile, then also in ads-by-author.php file you would need to replace on line 150 the code $link . $glue . "posted_by=" . $post->post_author with a UM link which will point to user UM profile.
I am not familiar with UM code, so it would be best to ask UM support: how to get a user profile link based on user id.
Thanks, Greg, i will try to find out about the UM link, the first problem is solved.
Hi Greg!
From UM support forum i got this snippet:
<?php
if ( class_exists( ‘UM’ ) ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
echo um_user_profile_url( $user_id );
}
?>
What do you think about this code and where it must be placed, functions.php or ads-by-author.php?
Thanks
In ads-by-author.php try replacing $link . $glue . "posted_by=" . $post->post_author with um_user_profile_url( $post->post_author ).
Thanks a lot Greg, it work fine!!!
