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.

Classified Ads WordPress Theme

Escort WordPress theme to build your own escort directory in minutes

This theme will help you build your own escort directory in minutes.
Once you install it it's ready to go.
No need for configurations, no need for 10 extra plugins, just the theme.
We built this theme based on client feedback and we'll continue to update the theme and make it even better.

3 user types: Agencies, Independent Escorts & Members

Once you install the theme your visitors will be able to register on your site.
Depending on what they want to do on the site they will be able to register as either an agency, an independent escort or a normal member. All user types have different capabilities as described bellow.
All users register and edit their information from the front-end. At no time are they allowed to go in the WordPress dashboard so they will not even know you are using it.

Payment options

PayPal and Payza(ex: AlertPay) Integration + Manual payment mode
You can choose from a wide selection of payment options. You can set a price for the premium status of an escort, the featured status, agency registration, escort registration, escort added by agency and VIP status for members.

The theme also provides a manual payment option.
You can write your bank account information for payments, Western Union, Moneybookers or any other payment processor you want.
Whatever you write as the payment instructions will be displayed instead of the payment buttons.
Your users will see the instructions and will need to follow them in order to buy anything on your website.
You can even paste your own "buy now" button code for each of the payment options.

Moderation options

You can choose to put all escort and agency registrations in moderation. The profiles will only become public after an admin activates them. You can also choose to have them become public immediately. Setting a price for the registration will only activate the profiles after payment.

Independent escorts

Escorts will be able to register on your website and add their full details.
All escorts will have a profile page where they can add images, a description and a lot more details about themselves, their rates or services.
All the information they add is completely editable by the escorts directly from the front-end of the site.

All agencies can add more than one escort profile. They have the same capabilities as the escorts just that they will be able to edit all the escorts they have added.

But what if you have a blog for a really long time and you just decided you want to watermark all your images? You would have to copy all your images from your blog to your computer, open all of them up and add a watermark. Not good.

But what about the original images? What if you ever need them without the watermark?
Here is my solution. I have used this on a number of blogs and it does the job really well.

What we are going to do is fake the display of an image. What we are displaying instead of the image is a php file that processes the image and ads a watermark to it. The url of the image stays the same, the watermark gets printed on the image and best of all the image on the server doesn't stays intact.

All you need is a bit of code in your .htaccess file, a php watermark processing file and a watermark image (png preferably).

Step 1

Add this code in your .htaccess file:

RewriteRule (.*)wp-content/uploads/(.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png)$ $1watermark.php?p=br&q=90&src=wp-content/uploads/$2

Change p=br and q=90 with your preferred watermark position and image quality.

Step 2

Create a new file in the root of your directory(where wp-admin, wp-content and wp-include is) and name that file watermark.php. After that copy and paste the code below in that file and save it(obviously).

//we tell the server to treat this file as if it wore an image
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
//image file path
$img = $_GET['src'];
//watermark position
$p = $_GET['p']; if(!$p) $p = 'br';
/*
p can be anything from the following list:
tl = top left
tc = top center
tr = top right
cl = center left
c = center of the image
cr = center right
bl = bottom left
bc = bottom center
br = bottom right
*/
//watermarked image quality
$q = $_GET['q'];
//if the quality field is missing or is not on the 0 to 100 scale then we set the quality to 93
if(!$q || $q<0 || $q>100) $q = '93';


$filetype = substr($img,strlen($img)-4,4);
$filetype = strtolower($filetype);
if($filetype == ".gif") $image = @imagecreatefromgif($img);
if($filetype == ".jpg") $image = @imagecreatefromjpeg($img);
if($filetype == ".png") $image = @imagecreatefrompng($img);
if (!$image) die();

//getting the image size for the original image
$img_w = imagesx($image);
$img_h = imagesy($image);
//if the filename has 150x150 in it's name then we don't apply the watermark
if (eregi("150x150", $img)) {
	imagejpeg($image, null, $q); die();
} else {
	$watermark = @imagecreatefrompng('watermark.png');
}
/*
//if you want to use the watermark only on bigger images then use this instead of the condition above
if ($img_w < "150") {//if image width is less then 150 pixels
	imagejpeg($image, null, $q); die();
} else {
	$watermark = @imagecreatefrompng('watermark.png');
}
*/

//getting the image size for the watermark
$w_w = imagesx($watermark);
$w_h = imagesy($watermark);

if($p == "tl") {
	$dest_x = 0;
	$dest_y = 0;
} elseif ($p == "tc") {
	$dest_x = ($img_w - $w_w)/2;
	$dest_y = 0;
} elseif ($p == "tr") {
	$dest_x = $img_w - $w_w;
	$dest_y = 0;
} elseif ($p == "cl") {
	$dest_x = 0;
	$dest_y = ($img_h - $w_h)/2;
} elseif ($p == "c") {
	$dest_x = ($img_w - $w_w)/2;
	$dest_y = ($img_h - $w_h)/2;
} elseif ($p == "cr") {
	$dest_x = $img_w - $w_w;
	$dest_y = ($img_h - $w_h)/2;
} elseif ($p == "bl") {
	$dest_x = 0;
	$dest_y = $img_h - $w_h;
} elseif ($p == "bc") {
	$dest_x = ($img_w - $w_w)/2;
	$dest_y = $img_h - $w_h;
} elseif ($p == "br") {
	$dest_x = $img_w - $w_w;
	$dest_y = $img_h - $w_h;
}

imagecopy($image, $watermark, $dest_x, $dest_y, 0, 0, $w_w, $w_h);
imagejpeg($image, null, $q);
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($watermark);

Use any image editor you like and create a png file that you will use as your watermark image. Save that image with the name "watermark.png" and put it in your root directory.
