 * Hello,
    first of all, congratulation for the excellent plugin. Is there the possibility
   to create the adverts with ‘post’ type? If no, is it possible to change it automatically
   after the creation? I use other plugin that use only Post type to do something…
   Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
    i am afraid that right now it is not really possible, while you probably
   could change the post type after saving the Ad, all of the data stored in wp_postmeta
   would be lost, unless you have some kind of functionality which will display 
   it when editing the Ads from wp-admin / Posts panel.
 * Also, by default the users would not be able to manage their ads from [adverts_manage],
   the [adverts_categories] and [adverts_list] shortcodes would not show any entries
   and the Ad details pages would not use the default Ad details layout (with gallery,
   price and etc.).
