I will try, not guaranteeing anything, to include it in the final version

Hi @InvisionHQ you forgot my message above 🙂
For the bump feature, of course user has top pay for it each time he bumps his advert
 
Found a CSS bug, if no max-width a long advert title would break the css template (in the categories)
 
Fix : 
h4.ipsDataItem_title.ipsContained_container a { max-width: 450px; }  
  @InvisionHQ can you check this fixes the bug tx

Hi
As promised a short feedback on this plugin,
As you know we use this for our communities and communities of clients to which we provide SEO services
Results are excellent, we managed to fix some communities that were suffering from Google Panda related penalties, and traffic is back by focusing Google attention (ie Crawl budget) to rich content topics
we recommend to set 300 words for minimum, but it depends on your industry, it could be more
the more competitive it is, the more you will need to set up as a minimum to index
This plugin is the answer to those who wonder if they should move their community to a subdomain to avoid any collateral damage to their main domain
You can contact me if you need SEO services for your community / site

The issue here is that Google will still go to those pages crawl and at some point index. This process takes away from indexing more important pages in a timely manner. (They will continue to revisit the page; Otherwise, comments would be ignored.)
This affects people with lots of pages especially if you just migrated to a new system or rebuild your sitemap. You want to help Google as much as you can. It benefits you the most.
(I removed my previous comment that was here as I believe it will just confuse more than help)
The goal is to get Google to index/rank your quality pages faster asap.

You’re not allowed to say that. What are SEO companies supposed to sell if Google takes care of things itself?

@InvisionHQ Hello!
I ask you to fix several critical errors in the application, please...😪
1. Please correct the feedback system.
I contacted the author of the "feedback system" application, he said that the error was on your side and promised to send you fixes back in November 2020.


 
2. The custom filter works only on the first page, on the following pages it lives its own life:

 
3. Please do "BUMP(Raise your ad) the ad up the list manually" with the ability to set a timer in days or hours (as it was before in earlier versions on IPB 3..) 
Users very much complain that their ad, for example a week later, ends up somewhere on page 20 and they have no way to return the ad to the first page.

Thank you Michael we solved the issue !

When i contact IPS, they say "contact plugin support" 😅

As some asked me in MP :
How to noindex profiles :
go to ACP > site promotion > Search Engine Optimization > Meta tags > add meta tags
Page adress :    profile/*
Page name : leave empty
Button add : robots with property : noindex,follow
 
THEN
 
wait for 1-3 months approx depending on your board size and then check if you have no profile indexed anymore : site:yoursite.com/profile (you have to wait for google to crawl all profile pages and discover the noindex)
then add in your robots.txt the following directive :
 
Disallow: /forums/profile/

 

Can someone PLEASE help me with this as the same question has been asked by others here and there is no reply from the developer of anyone else.
I don't like the way the menu system works with this addon as it goes against every other addon and especially IPS itself. There are sub menu options of:
My Adverts
My Renewals
My Offers
My Wishlist
and these are placed in the user account menu and not as sub menu items and if you disable them in the app options then the user has no way of accessing them. If you enable them in the mobile menu through the app options then you get Classifieds as a menu item item twice.
If you want the sub menu options within the main IPS menu like every other addon and what IPS does itself then you have a problem creating the links because:
1. My Adverts contains the user ID to their profile
2. The other options contain csrfKey in their links
What I need is the links that can be used for the above in the IPS menu system so I can have:

So I don't get things like:

PLEASE can someone help me with this...the developer or anyone???

Hi
I would like to hightlight a plugin i recently ordered to @DawPi :
This plugin automatically adds a noindex to all topics containing less than XXX words (lets say 100 words for instance) you can update the number anytime and reset the noindex
This is a powerful SEO plugin that helps to avoid Google Panda penalty that might happen on communities with large numbers of thin content topics
I recommend it !
 
 
 

i agree with this request
we have many users getting confused because they post in the wrong category and then complained they couldnt choose the category when submitting
 
@InvisionHQ i think you should consider doing this in the next release

Hi
Great results, we could follow the performance with the google search console
and we noticed SEO improvements of 30% (without any other action) on sites with this plugin
>> logical  : remove poor content and google will love you  !
next step is : update Invision sitemap by removing the noindex topics (so that GSC doenst report errors of noindex urls in sitemap)
the plugin author replied to me about this feature : Option to remove noindex item from the sitemap and also ping the search engines after that would cost 195$.
who is ok to participate to this feature ? i go with $50,  who else ?

Is there a way to force users to select the category for each advert they post?
I want the submit button to always popup with the category selection box rather than automatically select a category if the user is viewing a specific category. Users are accidentally posting adverts in wrong categories because all they see is the Submit new Advert button in classifieds and they don't think about where they are within the entire site (and I don't blame them). 

The app captures the screenshot of the page. Logo is a image that you can upload manually.

Classifieds currently doesn't work without an IP.commerce license and I would have to buy one just to make a demo working on BBCODE.
Unfortunately IPS does not offer test licenses for developers.
In one of the next major releases of the app IP.Commerce will become optional and at that point I will have no problem installing a demo.

Links directory is an app from @Adriano Faria
so it should be on his board : https://www.sosinvision.com.br/ips4/
but i agree it would be nice to have a live demo too on his board of links

A little update on the roadmap of this app:
2.1 Advert filters #1 (prices, types, conditions) (Feb 2020)
2.2 Feedback system (March 2020)
2.2 MyClassifieds Page (March 2020)
2.3 Advert filters #2 (custom fields) (deadlines to be defined, for sure after 4.5)
3.0 Direct transactions (it can works also without IP.Commerce) (deadlines to be defined, for sure after 4.5)
Version 2.1 will be released this week also with some bugfixes.

OK, cant wait !

Fantastic - all great additions, appreciate the updating work, THANKS and happy to support, especially as you get to 3.0

* also noting - current feedback system is integrated and working perfectly; Trader Feedback System

categories
range of prices
etc

you can't
There is a big thing missing on Classified apps :
1) the possibility to filter the results : by price, by brand etc
2) A real search box with multiple criterias like you can see on various marketplaces :
i want to see the adverts with price less than $100, belonging to a category in particular etc
This is the major improvement we need for Classifieds
