This plugin is absolutely great for creating a classified ads site. It adapts to many situations. The support is excellent too!
November 11, 2024
I’ve tried several classified and directory wordpress plugins, some I’ve paid for to enhance the usability but none have come close to the ease of use and layout you get with Classified Listing by Radius Theme. I have also been able to drop a few other plugins required by some of the other classified plugins for things like login, (really this should be standard). Another didn’t come with business hours for the business directory, again should be standard, especially when paying for the full plugin and of course there’s the price, again not just because it’s the cheapest, actually took me a while to get here but this is the cheapest on the market and that includes places like Envato. Yes I’ve searched and now I feel more confident about taking my classified website forward. Thanks. Also want to say about the customer dashboard, again first class to include it and stands alone from the wordpress environment, which means again less plugins to hide wordpress header bar and gives a more professional approach for clients when logging in.
