This theme will turn any WordPress installation into a fully working classified ads site. Just like eBay or Craigslist.
You'll find lots of features and it's really easy to set up.
About 4 years ago I created a highly popular WordPress theme named ClassiPress. Maybe you heard about it. After a while I sold the business but I liked the idea of the theme so much that I decided to make another theme on the same concept but with improved design and concept.
My new theme is DolceClassifieds.

User registrations
Your visitors will be able to register and post their own classified ads.
They can upload images, set a default image for the ad, edit the ad as many times as they want and they can even upload a personal avatar image.
PayPal Integration
You can charge users for each ad they place on the site.
You can also choose to make posting free but charge users for the possibility of showcasing their ad in the header of the site in a slider.
More than this, users can buy custom border colors or background colors for their ad, so they stand out from the others.
All the borders, backgrounds and prices are fully customizable by you, the admin.
Styling options
![]()
The theme has one major color that is used thru out the site.
Changing that color is very easy and it will make your site unique in a heart beat.
You can also upload your own background color and the way you want to display it, tiled, fixed etc.
Sorting options
Visitors will be able to sift thru the classified ads by choosing to sort the listings by price, views or ending time.
If this is not enough for them then they can also choose to see only ads with products that are new, used, reconditioned or broken and if the user has invoice or warranty for the items.
City and country filtering and searching options are also available.
SEO optimized
The WordPress theme is built with SEO in mind.
All the pages have the necessary H1, H2 and H3 tags.
All links have relevant title descriptions and all the images have relevant alt tags.
Category pages have a custom-built breadcrumbs navigation. This improves SEO and helps the user navigate easily thru the site.
No plugins necessary
The Classified Ads WordPress theme works right out of the box with absolutely no plugins necessary.
Everything is built into the theme.
If you do want to install your own plugins for extra functionality then you can do so.
Translation options
The theme is built for easy translation.
All the words from the theme wore carefully compiled in one single file.
You only have to edit a single file to have your theme translated in any language you may wish to use it in.
If you do translate it and want to share your language pack then please contact us.
Languages available:
- english (human translation)
- dutch, french, german, greek, italian, portuguese, russian, spanish (machine translations)
User reviews
Users can leave other user reviews on their profile page.
A review can be positive or negative. The number of reviews will show up on the profile page and on the item that the seller is advertising. This way, the users can see if the seller is trustworthy.

Is there any option to sort items by geography (country, state, city, etc.)?
At the moment the theme does not have such an option.
Some other people requested this feature so it will be implemented in the next release.
I am really looking forward to that!
Nice work! We've purchased!!
It's an awesome theme… Is the sort item by geography already implemented in the current theme version? I'm really interested to buy if the features already implemented…
The theme does have a sorting option by geographical region.
