     169= What types of classified listings directories can I create? =
     170
     171Our classifieds website builder software combined with our add-on modules is the most powerful classifieds plugin on the market. The options for classified advertising are limitless. Here are a few types of classified directories you can create:
     172
     173* Job board listings and help wanted
     174* Auto, truck, and car listings
     175* Apartment classifieds
     176* Property and real estate listings
     177* Dating and personal listings
     178* Fashion listings to buy and sell clothing
     179* Announcements for events like yard sales, reunions, auctions, and school events
    228180
    229181= Can AWPCP support paid and free listings? =
    230 Yes it can.  You can do this by creating fee plans for 0.00 and some other paid amount at the same time.  For more details, read [this article](https://awpcp.com/quick-start-guide/#qs-freepaid).

    231183
    232184= Will AWPCP work with my theme? =
    233 AWPCP will work with any well-written, WP 4.x compliant theme.  Generally speaking, paid themes tend to be higher quality than free ones, so we don't recommend those.
    234 
    235 Whatever theme you pick, we recommend using the Theme Check plugin (available for free on WordPress.org) to validate how WordPress-compliant that theme actually is.  The more errors and warnings you see on the theme when you run that check, the worse the theme is.  You can read more about it here:  https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-check/
    236 
    237 (This plugin was developed by WP Core developers to validate their own default themes and is highly respected in the theme community)
    238 
    239 In general, we like WooThemes as a solid company with great products and support.  You can check them out [here](http://woothemes.com)  Or [StudioPress](http://studiopress.com​​)

    241189= Can AWPCP be translated into my language? =
    242 Yes it can. AWPCP comes with many user-provided translations under the /languages folder. For details on how to do it, our [translation guide](https://awpcp.com/quick-start-guide/#qs-translate) will help get you started.

    243191
    244192= Is AWPCP compatible with WordPress Multisite (WPMU)? =
    245 Yes it is. However, you cannot "network-activate" the plugin (as this will share the database). Activate it on only the subsites on which you need a directory.  This can be done under Plugins->Add New as the Administrator user. Do not "network activate" AWPCP as the "super admin".

     169= What types of classified listings directories can I create? =
     170
     171Our classifieds website builder software combined with our add-on modules is the most powerful classifieds plugin on the market. The options for classified advertising are limitless. Here are a few types of classified directories you can create:
     172
     173* Job board listings and help wanted
     174* Auto, truck, and car listings
     175* Apartment classifieds
     176* Property and real estate listings
     177* Dating and personal listings
     178* Fashion listings to buy and sell clothing
     179* Announcements for events like yard sales, reunions, auctions, and school events
    228180
    229181= Can AWPCP support paid and free listings? =
    230 Yes it can.  You can do this by creating fee plans for 0.00 and some other paid amount at the same time.  For more details, read [this article](https://awpcp.com/quick-start-guide/#qs-freepaid).
     182Yes it can. You can do this by creating fee plans for 0.00 and some other paid amount at the same time. For more details, read [this article](https://awpcp.com/quick-start-guide/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteversion#qs-freepaid).
    231183
    232184= Will AWPCP work with my theme? =
    233 AWPCP will work with any well-written, WP 4.x compliant theme.  Generally speaking, paid themes tend to be higher quality than free ones, so we don't recommend those.
    234 
    235 Whatever theme you pick, we recommend using the Theme Check plugin (available for free on WordPress.org) to validate how WordPress-compliant that theme actually is.  The more errors and warnings you see on the theme when you run that check, the worse the theme is.  You can read more about it here:  https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-check/
    236 
    237 (This plugin was developed by WP Core developers to validate their own default themes and is highly respected in the theme community)
    238 
    239 In general, we like WooThemes as a solid company with great products and support.  You can check them out [here](http://woothemes.com)  Or [StudioPress](http://studiopress.com​​)

    244192= Is AWPCP compatible with WordPress Multisite (WPMU)? =
    245 Yes it is. However, you cannot "network-activate" the plugin (as this will share the database). Activate it on only the subsites on which you need a directory.  This can be done under Plugins->Add New as the Administrator user. Do not "network activate" AWPCP as the "super admin".
