User Dashboard [Pro]<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n

The dashboard is the seller’s command center \u2014 where they see their listings, edit them, check messages, manage saved searches, and review their order history.<\/p>\n\n\n

The shortcode<\/h2>\n\n\n
[bc_dashboard]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n
The WOW Feeder creates \/my-account\/<\/code> with this shortcode. That’s the recommended URL.<\/p>\n\n
\n\n
Tabs<\/h2>\n\n\n
The dashboard is a tabbed interface:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n
My Listings table<\/h2>\n\n\n
Per-listing actions:<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n
  • Edit<\/strong> \u2014 opens the frontend submission form pre-populated<\/li>\n
  • Pause<\/strong> \u2014 toggles listing to private<\/code> status (hidden from public, still visible to owner)<\/li>\n
  • Bump to top<\/strong> \u2014 paid action that updates post_date<\/code> to now (re-runs the package payment)<\/li>\n
  • Promote<\/strong> \u2014 upgrade an active listing to a paid Featured slot<\/li>\n
  • Renew<\/strong> \u2014 re-purchase the same package after expiry<\/li>\n
  • Delete<\/strong> \u2014 moves to trash; sellers can’t permanently delete (only admins can)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
    Filter by status with the buttons above the table: All, Active, Pending, Expired, Drafts.<\/p>\n\n
    \n\n
    Messaging [Pro]<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n
    Enabled at Classifieds Pro \u2192 Settings \u2192 Messaging \u2192 Enable<\/strong>. When active, the contact reveal buttons on listings are joined by a “Message Seller” button that opens an in-site thread.<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Setting<\/th>\nDefault<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead>
    Allow file attachments<\/strong><\/td>\nOff<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Email notification on new message<\/strong><\/td>\nOn<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Block contact info in messages<\/strong><\/td>\nOn (regex strips email addresses + phone numbers from message body)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Auto-archive after<\/strong><\/td>\n60 days inactivity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n
    The block-contact-info setting is important \u2014 it prevents sellers and buyers from circumventing your platform. Tweak the regex via best_classifieds_message_strip_patterns<\/code> if you want stricter or looser rules.<\/p>\n\n
    \n\n
    Saved searches<\/h2>\n\n\n
    Users save the current search query (text + filters) and optionally subscribe to email digests when new matches are posted.<\/p>\n\n\n
