AWP Classifieds + BuddyBoss
Give Your Members a Place to Buy, Sell, and Trade Inside Your Community
What is AWP Classifieds?
AWP Classifieds is the original WordPress classifieds plugin, trusted for over 10 years, that adds a full-featured classified ads marketplace to your BuddyBoss community. Members post listings for jobs, items for sale, rentals, services, and more, directly from their BuddyBoss profile.
A dedicated BuddyPress module posts ad activity to member activity streams, adds a Listings tab to every member profile, and lets members manage their ads from the front end without entering the WordPress dashboard.
Members search listings by location, category, or keyword, contact sellers through a blind email system, and pay for featured placements using PayPal, Stripe, or Authorize.net.
Key Features of AWP Classifieds
Classified Ads Marketplace
Create a full classified ads directory with custom categories, search filters, and listing management. Support any type of listing from jobs and real estate to vehicles and local services.
BuddyBoss Profile Integration
Members get a dedicated Listings tab in their BuddyBoss profile showing all their active ads with counters. Profile owners and admins manage ads directly from the member profile without accessing the WordPress dashboard.
Activity Stream Integration
When a member posts, edits, or deletes a listing, an entry appears in the BuddyBoss activity stream. Community members see classifieds activity alongside posts, course updates, and group activity in their feeds.
Paid and Free Listings
Run a free classifieds board or charge for listings with multiple fee plans. Set different prices for ad duration, image limits, and featured placement. Accept payments via PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.net.
Location-Based Search
Members search listings by city, state, country, or ZIP code radius to find ads near them. The Region Control module lets you restrict which listings members see based on their location.
Ad Moderation and Controls
Admins approve ads before they go live, flag inappropriate content, and manage all listings from a central dashboard. Members create, edit, and delete their own ads from the front end with secure editing keys.

Use Cases and Examples
Local Community Sites Running Neighborhood Buy and Sell Boards
Local community sites on BuddyBoss want to give members a place to buy and sell items within their neighborhood or region. AWP Classifieds adds a categorized directory where members post items for sale, search by ZIP code radius, and contact sellers through a blind email system that protects contact information. New listings post automatically to the community activity stream, keeping all members informed without requiring them to check the classifieds page manually.

Course Communities Where Students Exchange Resources
Course platforms using BuddyBoss attract students who want to buy, sell, or swap textbooks, tools, equipment, and course materials with other students. AWP Classifieds creates a peer marketplace within the community where students post listings from their BuddyBoss profile. Listings appear in the activity feed so enrolled students see relevant offers from classmates, and the location search helps students find nearby members for in-person exchanges.

Professional Networks Hosting Job Boards and Service Listings
Professional communities on BuddyBoss want members to post job openings, freelance opportunities, and service offers directly within the community rather than linking to external job boards. AWP Classifieds creates a dedicated listings directory organized by category, with custom fields for job type, rate, and location. Members manage their postings from their BuddyBoss profile and receive applications through the built-in contact system.

- Member Classifieds Inside Your Community: AWP Classifieds adds a dedicated marketplace directly inside your BuddyBoss site where members buy, sell, and trade without leaving the community. Listings connect to member profiles so buyers see who they are dealing with, and sellers manage everything from their existing BuddyBoss profile page.
- Activity Feed Integration: New listings, edits, and deletions post automatically to the BuddyBoss activity stream so all members stay informed about marketplace activity. Members discover listings from people they follow, in groups they belong to, and across the global community feed without checking a separate classifieds page.
- Full Ad Lifecycle Management: Members create, renew, edit, and delete their own listings from the front end of your BuddyBoss site. Admins moderate listings before they go live, flag inappropriate content, and manage the entire marketplace from one dashboard. Listings expire automatically on the schedule you set, keeping the directory current without manual cleanup.
