Using AWPCP classifieds plugin

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, We’re using the plugin Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin on our site.

It uses the default template when posting a new ad. This template is generally fine, with the exception on one thing – it draws on the metadata of including the author, which is not appropriate to classified ads, but is obviously necessary for all our articles.

AWPCP uses Custom Post Types, so it’s not a simple case of assigning a template per post.

I’m hoping to either assign a specific template to that plugin, or, simply change one aspect of it – getting rid of that author metadata.

Hoping you can help

For anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation, here’s a clearer explanation of the solution to customizing in this context:

1. Navigate to the “Cloud Template” section under CPT/Taxonomies > Classifieds > Single.
2. Choose the option to “Create a blank Template.”
3. Open this template in the TD Composer editor.
4. Insert the “CPT Content” element onto your page. This will display the advertisement information.
5. It’s essential to set this as the default template for your ads.
6. Test by viewing an advertisement to ensure it displays with the template name you created in TD Composer. If it doesn’t automatically show your template name, manually select it. Remember, it will have the same name as the one you assigned during creation.
7. Lastly, make sure to click on “Global” to apply your template universally across all advertisements. This step is crucial to ensure consistency.

This process will help you customize the appearance of your classified ads in the system.
