    1. Activate the plugin
    2. On activation plugin will create two Pages (in wp-admin / Pages panel) with [adverts_list] and [adverts_add] shortcodes.
    3. Go to Classifieds / Options panel and configure the options.
    4. For more detailed instructions visit plugin documentation

    3. Add shortcode X in your Post or Page.

    5. For more detailed instructions visit plugin documentation.

    On a XAMPP testing site since step 3 is missing from your installation/setup steps it causes the Apache server to crash. Also on your website for more detailed instructions I did not find any help that stated that the shortcode needed to be added in a Post or Page.

    I am not sure what do you mean by “Add shortcode X in your Post or Page.”? Out of box you should not need to configure anything, it should work with default settings.

    Also what do you mean by server crash is it a 500 error? or white page? In either case you should have an actual error message in error_log file somewhere on the server.

    Finally, are you able to replicate this issue on the demo site https://demo.wpadverts.com/ ?

    This is on a XAMPP Local Development server if that makes any difference.
    1. Installed and activated the plugin.
    2. setup options/preferences.
    3. created a new advert by clicking Add New.
    4. added Gallery images and saved the Post.
    5. clicked View Classified button and Apache server crashes.
    6. there is no shortcode in the visual post editor window.
    7. added this shortcode [adverts_list] and the advert page loads successfully, i can see the gallery images and the Apache server does not crash.

    5. does it crash or shows 404 error? if there is 404 error, try going to wp-admin / Settings / Permalinks and clicking “Save Changes” button to reset WP router.
    6. this part is confusing. On which page are you looking at? Is it a post or an advert? The advert that you create should not have any shortcodes, there should be however a page (in wp-admin / Pages) panel with [adverts_list] shortcode in the content.

    No server errors because the entire Apache server crashes. No php errors because it is not a php error. It is not a permalink problem.

    I am a plugin developer so what I am telling you is at the developer level and not user level. The semantics and other details do not matter whatsoever. I was testing a possible conflict between my plugin and your plugin, but I do not see a conflict. I only mentioned this because I thought that a setup step was missing. If it is not missing then disregard this topic. I only stated exactly what i found. You can consider this matter resolved. I have resolved this thread.
