You can however use a manual method, should you want to segment them via categories, with the instructions here – https://wpauctions.com/wpa-code.txt

The List Widget shows all the auctions, it does not segment them. Sorry.

Once an auction is finished the winning bidder will automatically receive emails with payment instructions. Any information can be entered in the “Bank Details” and “Mailing Address, as they are just text boxes.

Thanks for the quick response!

To clarify: I can use the List Widget to insert a list of many auctions in one page entitled “Celebrities”and then another page entitled “Military” etc. and add as many pages as I need with as many individual auctions per page as I need? Each auction will have to be assigned an individual post though, which would open up once someone clicked on the Bid Now button? Therefore, a large auction could be organized by using designated pages as categories which in turn could make finding items easier?

Once an auction is finished will the winning bidder automatically receive an email without me having to send it myself? Can I insert any information I want into those emails or are they pre-written?

Sorry to be so verbose, but I need to make sure WordPress and your plugin could be a viable solution for a large auction site. Thanks again.

Once you create an auction you can embed it into a Post or Page. Only one auction per Post or Page only, you cannot have more than one as the bid form won’t work otherwise.

Your Posts can be organized by categories you create in WordPress, you would have to insert an auction by ID into each Post. Directions are provided in our download page once you purchase.

If you would like to list multiple auctions in a Page/Post you would have to use our List Widget available under the “Extras” on our site, up above. As I stated above you cannot have more than one per Post/Page.

Would I be able to utilize the embed in a post feature and assign categories to those posts in hopes of being able to organize a large (1,000 plus items) auction on my website? As an example: Assign “Auction 10” category to all the individual items being auctioned and then also give them sub categories so as to make items easier to find within my site. Would that be possible?

I just noticed that the auctions can be placed within a page. Can I list multiple auctions within one single page so clients can scroll down and see what is available? Possibly breaking up the multiple categories I have for an auction into different pages and listing the individual items on the corresponding page?

Thanks for any help.

Hi. I have v2.5 gold on my site. I don’t think I got any updates from you but now I see there’s a new version. How do I get it? I only used a few times because I got complaints about the bugs. But I would like to try the new version…. What do I need to do?

In this post would be a great place to either say ‘Upgrading? Nothing gets lost, just FTP and you’re good’ or have a paragraph (or link to one) that explains what to do to ensure all current and expired auctions (and their respective ID numbers) are all still fine if a person does X,Y,Z.
