Extended Theme Description:

Please Note: This theme has changed dramatically from what is shown here.

ClassiPress is the first and only WordPress theme dedicated to classifieds websites, theme designed by AppThemes.

The theme features a bold, white and blue, sleek theme design with a large search box and “Post a Classified!” areas, so it is easy for users to submit new advertisements.

Categories are displayed in a horizontal navigation (tabbed) bar, but the page must refresh with each change of category, which may be seen as a disadvantage over AJAX or other “no refresh” methods.

Beyond this, items are placed in the box beneath its category with the price, location, and post date.

Overall, the ClassiPress theme offers a wide array of features for managing your classifieds and allowing others to post them on your site.  It is with welcome relief that this was created, as most other solutions are poorly manageable, plus you are working in a familiar environment with WordPress.

One feature that I would like to see integrated, possibly in a future version, is a blog/news page, although it wouldn’t be too hard to create a new page layout or add it as a separate WordPress installation.

Support: You will need to contact one of the designers for support.

Showcase: You can find a showcase of how the theme is being used in various sites around the web on this page. The theme makes it easy to setup any form of online classifieds without any large development costs (you are the person in charge of design).

Additional Features:

• The first and only premium WordPress theme designed to easily turn your website into a classified ads system.
• Feature-rich theme built for ease right out of the box, with strong integration into the WordPress feature system.

• Instant Image Uploading – No more having to wait for customers to email you their images before posting the ad. Your customers can attach multiple images directly to the ad submission form.
