Description
The Ultra Classifieds (Classipress) transforms WordPress into a complete classifieds portal, with front-end paid ad submission, hierarchical categories with customizable fields, and integrated checkout to highlight listings. Registered users post offers with photos, price, and location, while the administrative dashboard controls manual approval, publishing plans, and automatic renewal of expired ads.
Main Features
- Front-end submission: guided multi-step form for visitors to publish ads without accessing the WordPress admin.
- Custom fields by category: each category can display its own attributes such as brand, model, year, condition, or square footage.
- Pay-per-publish plans: charging per ad, per display duration, or for highlights, with control over duration and auto-renewal.
- Integrated payment gateways: processing advertiser transactions directly on the site with order history.
- Advanced search with filters: keyword search, category, price range, and location for visitors to quickly find offers.
Benefits of Ultra Classifieds (Classipress)
- Direct monetization: revenue generated from ad posting, highlighting, and renewal payments.
- Self-service for advertisers: users manage their own listings, reducing manual work for the team.

- Visual customization: color adjustments, logo, banners, and highlight blocks through the theme admin.
Who is It For?
- Entrepreneurs wishing to launch a regional or national classifieds portal.
- Communities and niche verticals (real estate, vehicles, jobs, services) needing paid listings.

How to install
Updates: manual. When a new version comes out, download it on this same page and upload it over the old one; WordPress asks whether you want to replace the current version.
The file on this page is the full package the author publishes on the marketplace: the theme, the documentation and sometimes the plugins it uses. Do not upload that file through the dashboard, because WordPress cannot find the theme inside it. What gets installed is the theme folder, which is in there.
- Download the file
Ultra.Classifieds.for.Classipress.zipand extract it on your computer. - If the extracted package contains another ZIP file named after the theme, extract that ZIP as well before looking for the theme folder.
- Look for the folder that has the
style.cssfile and thescreenshot.pngimage (in this item, the folderUltra.Classifieds.for.Classipress/ultraclassifieds). That is the theme folder. - Zip that folder only. Do not use RAR.
- In the WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme and upload the ZIP file you just created.
- Click Activate.
- Uploading the whole package is the most common mistake when installing a theme. WordPress answers that no valid theme was found, and nothing is installed.
- If after extracting you already find
style.cssandscreenshot.pngin the main folder, that folder is the theme folder. - The rest of the package belongs to the author: documentation, demo files and, in some themes, the plugins it asks for during setup.
