Default Advert Expiry Date

Hi,
1. i am afraid not, at least not without some custom programming.

2. you can change it in wp-admin / Classifieds / Options / Core panel

3. to do that you can add the code below in your theme functions.php file

add_filter( "wp", "paying_members_only_init", 50 );
function paying_members_only_init() {
    if( is_singular( 'advert' ) && !current_user_can( "read" ) ) {
        remove_action( 'adverts_tpl_single_bottom', 'adverts_single_contact_information' );
        remove_action( 'adverts_tpl_single_bottom', 'adext_contact_form' );
        remove_action( 'adverts_tpl_single_bottom', 'adext_bp_send_private_message_button', 50 );

        add_action( 'adverts_tpl_single_bottom', "paying_members_only", 5 );
    }
}
function paying_members_only( $post_id ) {
    $flash = array( "error" => array(), "info" => array(), "warn" => array() );
    $flash["warn"][] = array(
        "message" => __( "Only logged-in can contact sellers." ),
        "icon" => "adverts-icon-block"
    );
    adverts_flash( $flash );
}

4. you mean to hide the search bar on the [adverts_list]? If so then you can do that by using the shortcode with search_bar=”disabled” param like this

[adverts_list search_bar="disabled"]

See the docs here https://wpadverts.com/doc/creating-ads-list-adverts_list/ for more details.

5. you can do that using the adverts_post_type filter, please see the snippet here for more details https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/custom-slugs/custom-slugs.php

How to best install the snippet you can read here https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/ at the bottom of the page.

Excellent Plugin Greg and Thanks again for replying quickly.

##Do you have an action hook when saving the ad? So it can be used to dynamically add an expiry date?

## I also saw that you used remove_action( 'adverts_tpl_single_bottom', 'adext_bp_send_private_message_button', 50 ); in your earlier snippit. So do you have a Personal messaging functionality ?

1. if you are not using Payments Module or the WooCommerce integration then you can use the wpadverts_advert_saved action to change the expiration date when the Ad is saved as pending/published.

add_action( "wpadverts_advert_saved", function( $post_id ) {
  update_post_meta( $post_id, "_expiration_date", strtotime( "NOW +5 DAYS" ) );
} );

This will of course change the expiration date for all the ads to 5 days in the future you would need to customize it to have a different value for each role.

One thing to keep in mind is that the value for _expiration_date should be a timestamp.

2. the line you quoted disables the contact form created by WPAdverts BP integration.

If you have the BP integration then you can show a contact form on Ad details page which will start a conversation with the Ad owner via the BuddyPress private messages.
