I don't like this plugin. Looks great but doesn't work.

By dannielph on February 23, 2025

Does not work for me, So many errors with custom permalinks and translation.

The best ad plugin you can find!

By crofrenki on January 29, 2025

I'm don't leave reviews often, but this plugin and Greg deserved it big time!

I planned my whole platform around this ad plugin and it's awesome.

You can see it on action here: instrukcijezasve.hr

The whole platform is based on the WP Adverts plugin and it is amazing! Greg is always there to help out, even for the custom code, he's there. He is very patient and will hear out all of your problems/ideas and will gladly work on them with you.

I fully recommend this plugin to all of you who need something to do with your ads on the WP site.

Good plugin - premium version a must have

By thriftysites on July 4, 2024

The premium version is a must have for any classifieds website.

Excellent standard of post-sales care and support from Greg and the team!

Excellent support

By ponzi99 on March 27, 2024

I would like to express my gratitude to the developers of this plugin, I needed help with some issues and I did not expect to receive it so quickly. I am very pleased with the communication and of course the functionality and recommend installing and purchasing this plugin.

Translation

By Sergioot (sergioot) on February 22, 2024

Latest version 2.1.2 does not take translated .po file.

Not the best. Didn't make me happy.

By samueluwawah on January 31, 2023

Well, all i wanted to do was to ensure that my users can indicate if their intended listing is a "Used Item" or "Brand New Item". I feel this is a very vital feature that should be in every classified plugin. It wasn't included in this plugin and i could not find a way to insert it myself. I just had to uninstall the plugin and look for another one.

Perfect for custom projects, fast and proficient support from author

By benborie (frenchdistrict) on June 28, 2022

The plugin has lots of customization possibilities and we were able to implement most of our project specifications. We worked with the plugin author on some custom functionalities and it was a smooth ride : quality work, speed and communication. I highly recommend this plugin for its quality, customization potential and support.

Flexible in setup

By anwind on April 7, 2022

You can easily implement the WPAdverts plugin with any theme and customize it for your tasks. Definitely worth the money.

Great support.

By befeleme on April 2, 2022

Very fast support. Thanks.

great out of box, and simple to do advanced customization

By interstice on December 4, 2021

This plugin has been awesome and fit all needs in replacing another classifieds plugin that stopped working. It's quite customizable out of the box, and then has theme template override capabilities for further customizing all pages, listing details, etc. Plugin author is very responsive and helpful. Super happy!
