Open Classifieds 2.2.1 Released! Please Read Update Instructions Carefully

***Note: Do not click on automatic updates, it will not work***

Since 2.2.0 major release we’ve had a couple of tweaks we wanted to add to the software and to fix some of the issues you were facing, SSL improvements (after Google’s latest news) with some cool features like dragging and dropping FAQs to change their order, ad visit counter switch On/Off option and an awesome way to show category icons on Newspaper theme.

And as of now every premium theme license allows you to use your theme on any sub-domain you want, so you don’t need to buy a license for each sub-domain.

Really important that you do not execute the automatic update from your oc-panel since it won’t work! read this instructions carefully.

If you can’t update your site we offer the update service for $50 if you have a 2.x, if you have an older version contact us first please.
