Another issue realated to this if I delete a user created with [adverts_add] I have the option to move the ads created by this user to another user, but only as long as this other user was created by [adverts_add]. I’m not able to move the ads to users created with [adverts_author_register]. Now I have to recreate the ads as I move the users as the users created with [adverts_author_register] seem to work better, ref the bug listed above etc.

1. About my first question from som days back where you wrote “currently this is not possible as in the preview step the Ad is actually saved in the database as a draft.”

It would be great if those non approved drafts where listed as drafts when users with a profile click “My Ads”. Many will forget to approve their ads. This way it’s not lost and more logical in my opinion..

Greg, could you please explain why they create different user types ? What is the reason for that ? Without knowing this it’s hard to know how to best setup the site.

About the second part.. yes it seemed as a bug but as I see different signup methods create different kinds of users, its a bit confusing all.

More info: I now see that your plugin create the users in two different ways depending on the shortcode in the page where the user vas registered.

[adverts_add] creates “Users” and they cannot be displayed via [adverts_authors_list].
[adverts_author_register] creates “Authors”, but this don’t seem to be a standard wordpress author, this is the only user type what can edit his data with the Authors dashboard.

So this is very confusing to me as I don’t think the documentation mentioned this, I have looked trough it many times. So could you please explain the difference between these and how the idea is to use them best.

I can’t see anything about this in the addon documentation https://wpadverts.com/documentation/authors/

2) What I refer to is the order of the content listed here for example: https://demo.wpadverts.com/lite/advert/minecraft/

1) OK

2) I refer to the order of the items listed when an a classfied is displayed in the front end. Your plugin display image, ad kategory, location etc.. map and on the bottom the descriptive text. I would like to change the order of this as the descriptive text is almost lost there at the bottom.

3) renewal pricing is in the payments addon?

Hi Greg, I’m not sure if you correctly understood my question. I’ll try to explain my problem a bit better:

1) Firstly can you confirm that the plugin treat users created via the [adverts_add] as users created via [adverts_author_register] 100% equal? From what I have seen the plugin treats the users very differently. Example, I cannot create / display profile for users created with [adverts_add], this only works if user was created via [adverts_author_register].

Users created with [adverts_add] can login via [adverts_author_register] and see the Authors dashboard. But if this user try to “Edit Profile” and enter data here. This data is never stored.

2) About my question “Can I prevent / disable users to Register directly?” – With the standard config users can register via [adverts_author_register] or [adverts_add] and immediately publish an unlimited number of ads. I would like to have some control over this either by require new users to be approved by admin or to require new ads to be approved by admin. (I don’t have “Fee per category” active).

Thanks.. Solved it with your addon. Very easy.

You got it?

Thanks again, that worked like a charm. But ideally I could add this to the code that changes the URL of the other “static” url’s from this plugin.. now I have it as a plugin as described in: https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets

Sorry, I just noticed there was a new update today so I have updated to Version 1.3.0 – but I get the same errors. Meaning that map show just fine with correct location etc in each ad. But [adverts_mal_map] show the map in the middle of nowhere .. and show no pins at all.

I have the most recent version. Do you have a private space where can post URL ? This is a public forum.

After installing the “Maps and Locations” plugin there is another URL that needs to be translated/SEO-friendly /advert-location. This is not handled by the custom-slugs code example that this thread link to.

How can this be fixed?

Great! Got it working now… just a tip for other users. When you do these changes. WP Supercache plugin can trick you into not seeing changes made. And also try to disable/enable the WP Adverts plugin if you don’t see the changes to the URL’s. It should fix the problem.

Thanks! I disabled the plugin I used for this and fixed it with the login link as in your example.
