AWP Classifieds is a WordPress plugin for adding classified ads and directory listings to a site. Listings can include images and embedded videos, expire automatically, and be imported or exported through CSV. Ads may be free or paid, and the plugin supports fee plans and payment gateways including PayPal, PayPal Pro, Stripe and Authorize.net. Other listed functions include listing approval, seller messaging and featured ads. Integrations include Yoast SEO, WP-PageNavi and BuddyPress. The maker says the plugin can be responsive with a mobile-friendly theme and has been tested with hundreds of thousands of listings. The free core plugin is available, while paid plans add features, support and updates for one year. Basic is 49.50 USD per year at an introductory rate and renews at the full price of $99; Pro is 149.50 USD per year and renews at $299; Elite is 249.50 USD per year and renews at $499. Support covers built-in features, not custom code or customization. WordPress Multisite requires activation on individual subsites rather than network activation.
