It is like a craigslist in that people can post for free. Someone browsing or searching the listings needs to be able to sort according to proximity from their inputed zip code, and I need to keep the contact information permanently confidential. Sending e-mails needs to work like Ebay. They go through the website. Once contacted both persons have each others e-mails and I have provided the connecting service. End of service. Here's my BIG question. What plugin would allow me to charge a fee to then enable someone browsing to contact someone who listed and made the post? I want posting to be free, but contacting those who post needs to collect a fee. I could have each registered member load a credit of $20 to their account and then I could debit $1 per click when e-mailing another member. I could also charge a yearly fee and allow unlimited contacting during that time period. I know this sounds like a porn site but it is actually a religious networking site. Elgg has too much functionality, Buddypress allows too much contacting between members and I don't want that without a fee. Where do I go? I use Wordpress for all my sites. I am hosted on Godaddy. I am not looking for a free site. I can pay a reasonable fee for this functionality. Of course, free is always good. =) Blessings.

What I'm interested in is when Classipress might upgrade to take advantage of WP3.0 features like custom post types (no more using blog posts for listings?).

When do you plan to upgrade Classipress to take advantage of custom posts and other WP3.0 features?

Is it too soon to ask if you have any idea how long after 3.0 final is released that you will have an updated version of Classipress? Thanks again! @David, of course I understand that you are limited until the final release of WP 3.0 but I was wondering if any ground work has been laid with the WP betas or RC version so you might have a head start once the final is released?

There's no reason to wait since 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 will be more of a bug release vs a new feature release. @Ray, I recommend installing CP 3.0.2 instead of 2.9.2 since it’s a completely new version.

Also not everyone updates to the latest version of WP right away so we won't have a new version of CP at the same time as WP 3.0. @bellboy, we’re at the mercy of WP and can’t release any new features to take advantage of WP 3.0 until it’s been released.

Any word on what's going on behind the scenes David? :) This is what I am doing….patiently waiting for WP 3.0 to release and for David to spice up the already spicy ClassiPress to take advantage of the new custom post types and taxonomies.

Though I am in the middle of setting up a ClassiPress site on 2.9.2, I'm wondering if I should wait until launch of WP3.0 and a version of ClassiPress that takes advantage of its features (obviously, I don't have a hard launch date).

A 2.0 version of wptouch (wptouch.com) is slated to be released very soon that may make for easier integration with existing Classipress sites so I am looking forward to it. I want to purchase ClassiPress to use with a planned new site but as we are at the cusp of a major WP release I would like to wait until it is out so I don't have to do a full site upgrade right away. Roughly how long after the WP 3.0 release do you expect to release a fully compatible ClassiPress update (note: http://wpclassipress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3499)? "This month and next will be launching the new site and making sure all customers have a smooth transition." - can you elaborate on this? A wpclassipress.com is getting a design refresh and you want to ensure customer accounts transition smoothly? Understood.

Thanks for sharing. At this point I'd rather focus on getting more features released than worrying about iPhone optimization. Smart phones are gaining popularity but it's still a very small percentage of web traffic. Regarding the next release, it won't coincide with WP 3.0.

With regards to iPhone display I should have been more specific as I meant something along the lines of wptouch (http://www.bravenewcode.com/products/wptouch/) which makes the site appear like a native iPhone site. Looking forward to the post Wordpress 3.0 release. Is this already in development using the 3.0 beta of Wordpress or will there be more of a delay until it is released? Thanks for your reply David.
