In line with our efforts to provide you with the best experience you can get when building or managing your classifieds website, we have been working a lot for a simpler, better and more customizable version of our software. We have saved the best for last in 2013 and today we are launching Belgrade = 2.1!

We had 5,600+  total downloads for version 2.0.7 and we’re hoping Belgrade = 2.1 will be even more appealing for you guys.

What’s new at 2.1 (Code Name Belgrade)?

  • New admin theme, using bootstrap 3, and more mobile friendly than before, huge effort to do this ;)
  • Refactor for Ocean theme to use Bootstrap 3 also.
  • Custom fields per category. Now you can specify in which categories you want your custom fields to appear
  • Social Authentication, login or register with FB, Twitter etc.. (Only premium themes)
  • Blog integration, create a simple blog for your site in 2 steps.
  • Better advanced search and widget search
  • Option to disable publishing at parent categories
  • Menus, you can edit the links at the top of your theme and add whatever you want
  • New languages translation Japanese, German, and Portuguese
  • Search for ads in the admin
  • 1 file installation, upload this file, download and install! faster than ever ;)


These features are added since many clients asked for them in the forum or in our uservoice or simply because we wanted them in our own classifieds sites ;)
