Hi @dvharrison
I’m glad to hear that you are considering AWP Classifieds for your project.
To keep things easy to read, I have provided answers to your questions inline below.
- We need a membership setup. Am I able to set up a membership for posters, jobseekers and both posters and job seekers? — Sure thing! AWP Classifieds uses the default WordPress registration function for creating accounts on your classifieds site, so you can use any membership plugin that works with the WordPress registration.
- Is it easy to vet posts for stop words (eg swear words) — Right now we don’t have this feature but there may be another plugin out there that will help with this. Our sister plugin, Business Directory Plugin, does have this feature. In case you want to check that out, you can download and try it here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/business-directory-plugin/
- I get the area, town etc but is there a radius option or an interactive map? — Right now we don’t have this feature but we are considering it for the future. I’ll add your vote for this!
- Are posters notified by email when their listing has gone live or been refused? — Yes, users should receive that email once they set up the listing and it has been approved (if you have the setting turned on for approval being required). I’d recommend trying a test listing as a non-admin user to see how that works!
- Can AWP Classifieds plugin integrate with MailChimp? Or is it easy to export to mailchimp or a spreadsheet? — We don’t have an integration with MailChimp, but we do have an export to CSV process. You can learn more about that in our Knowledge Base here: https://awpcp.com/knowledge-base/import-export/
- Is it easy to view daily statistics on how well the board is performing, eg new signups and posts, etc? — We don’t have a dashboard for this, so you’ll have to track these things manually. You can consider a service or plugin that’s specifically designed for tracking this kind of data. However, Business Directory Plugin does have something like this so I’d recommend checking it out!
