 * I have two related questions that I’m pretty sure are idiotic, but I am beating
   my head against a wall and can’t figure them out. Might be a case of not being
   able to see the forest for the trees.
 * I installed the plug-in and it seems to be working best I can tell via my admin
   control panel. However, I can’t see the classifieds on the live site (as an end
   user). The control panel tells me the page’s URL is (my site domain plus) /index.
   php?pagename=classified
 * But when I open that page, I see a blank page of my site with no classifieds 
   stuff either visible, or in the source code.
 * Second question – how do you change this url? I’d rather it were (my site domain
   plus) /classifieds
 * I’ve noticed that others are able to do this, but I don’t see a setting that 
   will let me change the url.
 * Sorry to be dense, but I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

 * Not a dumb question. Seems something has gone awry with wp-classifieds with the
   latest version of wordpress.
 * Do this as a workaround:
 * Create a new page, with the title “[WP_CLASSIFIED](http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_CLASSIFIED)”(
   without the quotes).
 * In the content of this page, write “[WP_CLASSIFIED](http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_CLASSIFIED)“.
 * That should get you up and running. You’ll also need to modify the “pagename”
   for this entry to be “classified” – best way to do it is through SQL.

 * I tried what [@natalieorphan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natalieorphan/)
   said, but although i have the same situation as above – in my case still doesn’t
   work. Did i miss something?

 * After 5 loooong hours, I finally found the bug!! thanks natalieorphan for your
   comment because it gave me some ideas, but it doesn’t work because you have to
   create the new page, and in the title and the content write:
 * `((WP_CLASSIFIED))` -> Instead of (( )) use the [ [ and ] ] twice without spaces
   because the forum doesn’t allow me to write it in that way for the spam stuff..
   
   So it has to look like this (without spaces) [ [ W P _ C L A S S I F I E D ] ]
 * Then in that page that you create, it will be your WPClassified =) if you want
   to modify the title it would be through SQL like natalie said.
 * Hope it works for you guys!!

 * Thanks guys! I had this problem too and by adding [WP_CLASSIFIED](http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_CLASSIFIED)
   to it, I can now view it on my page.
    I do have a few questions though…… How 
   do you place ads? Is it just the “list” that is the ads? If so, when I make a
   list under a category, it makes a link to the ‘list name’ but that link takes
   them to my homepage and there is no where to modify where that link goes. If 
   we have someone place an ad, it should be linked to their website, correct? Can
   anyone assist me with this? Also, it seems to me that only admin can post the
   ads? Is this correct? Thanks in advance! Lori [http://occupationalhwy.com](http://occupationalhwy.com)
