The WPAdverts – Mark As Sold addon is a premium extension for the popular WPAdverts classifieds plugin. Its primary purpose is to allow sellers and administrators to flag listings as “Sold” without deleting them, which preserves the listing’s SEO value and shows potential users that your marketplace is active.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Visual Badges: Displays a clear “Sold” label or icon on the ad in the search results ([adverts_list]) and on the single ad details page.
Contact Management: You can configure the plugin to automatically hide the seller’s contact information or contact form once an item is marked as sold, preventing frustrated buyers from reaching out for unavailable items.
User Empowerment: Registered users can mark their own items as “Sold” directly from their management panel ([adverts_manage]).
SEO Retention: Instead of a 404 error from a deleted page, the ad remains live, allowing search engines to continue indexing the content while clearly signaling to users that it’s no longer available.
Customizable Notifications: You can customize the “Sold” text and choose to display it at either the top or bottom of the ad description.
As the site owner, you have granular control over how the “Sold” status behaves:
Restrict Relisting: You can decide if users are allowed to mark an item back to “For Sale” once it’s been marked “Sold.”
Dashboard Management: Admins can manually toggle the “Sold” status for any ad from the WordPress backend.
Visual Customization: Change the colors and labels of the “Sold” notification to match your site’s branding.
