I have the official SocialEngine Blogs / Classifieds Plugin installed on my website, but I like the visually appealing Blogs / Classifieds that can be set up with this plugin. How can I change my site's blogs / classifieds to like yours?
After installing this plugin on your website, you can easily import the existing blogs / classifieds on your website into this plugin, and you can then have an attractive and engaging Blogs / Classifieds system like the ones on our demo here: https://demo.socialapps.tech/blogs, here: https://demo.socialapps.tech/classifieds, and like the other demo links in the Listing Types tab. You can then configure it to change the URL of the resultant listing system to match that of your old blogs / classifieds systems. These blogs, classifieds, etc systems could be one of the many listings that you can have on your site with this plugin. For any queries regarding this, please contact us.
I love the kind of Listing System that this plugin can create. However, I do not need multiple Listing Systems on my website. I just want 1 Listing System. Is there any other option for me?
If you just want 1 such Listing System on your website, then you can use the plugin: "Reviews and Ratings Plugin". The listing created with this plugin will have all the features of the listings with "Multiple Listing Types Plugin - Listings, Blogs, Products, Classifieds, Reviews & Ratings, Pinboard, Wishlists, etc All In One". The difference is that you will not be able to create Multiple Listing Systems with this plugin alone, and would require the extension: "Reviews and Ratings - Multiple Listing Types Extension".
Does this plugin come pre-configured with multiple listing systems, like the ones I can see on your Listing Types tab?
No, this does not come pre-configured. However, you can easily configure the listing systems, that you create with this plugin on your website, from its admin panel. We will soon post instructions detailing the settings we chose from administration for the various listing systems on our demo.
