How to create a matching site using WordPress with the free plugin [HivePress]
By using the free plugin HivePress, you can build a matching site similar to a bulletin board like Jimoty for free!
By using a paid extension plugin, you can also have monetary transactions occur just like on Coconala.
- Real estate matching
- Skills Matching
etc,A plugin suitable for matching services for intangible servicesis.
We are using IT implementation subsidies to create matching sites on your behalf. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
Matching plugins other than HivePress
For your reference, there are other plugins that can be used to build a matching site besides the free plugin called HivePress that we are introducing this time. These are called directory plugins,
- Users can register freely
- Registered users offer their services
- Transaction between buyer and seller
- The operator collects the fee
- We can create a system like this.
I have actually researched and summarized about six types, so if you feel that HivePress cannot achieve what you want, please refer to this article as well!
What you can do with the HivePress free plugin
HivePress consists of free plugins and paid extension plugins. First, I will introduce what you can do with just the free plugins.
- user registration
- Service listing
- Register your favorite services
- Private Message
- location information
- review
Its main function is that it allows users to create a matching site without any monetary transactions on the site, such as Jimoty, using only free plugins.
What you can do with HivePress paid extensions
If you feel that the free plugins alone are not enough to achieve what you want, you can purchase paid extension plugins to increase their functionality.
1 Expansion Plug-in $29 If you buy the whole package, you get a discount of $199This will be a great deal.
Furthermore, I think it's a great deal because it's a one-time purchase rather than an annual payment.
- Setting up a booking calendar for each user
- Transferring money on the site
- Users can post requested services (a different feature from Coconala's public service requests)
- Member Charges
- Notify users of new services
- Social network login
- Social Media Links
- Data Import
- Business hours setting for each user
- Access analysis for each user
- Service tagging for easy search
If you purchase a paid extension plug-in
- Buy the great value all-in-one pack $ for 199 yen
- If there are 6 or less paid extensions, purchase them individually
I think it will be one of two patterns.
Please note that this is a one-time purchase license, but only one license per site. You will need to purchase a new license each time you want to create a new matching site.
Themes provided by the HivePress plugin
Themes are also available.
Benefits of purchasing a theme

The free theme is called Listing. You can use this free theme to build a matching site.
