We explain HivePress, a free plugin that allows you to create a matching site using WordPress.

When a user offers a service for sale, it is called listing, and we will explain how to set up this listing.

1. Listing page

If there is no listing page in static pages, create a listing page by clicking [Static Pages] > [Add New] and link it to the settings.If the linking is successful, the text “Listing Page” will be displayed.

2. Display of listing page

If unchecked, the search items and list of listing services will be displayed.

If you check this box, a screen will appear asking you to select a category first.

The process is as follows: Select category → Search within the category.

5. Related Listings

At the bottom of the listing details page, there is a Related Listings section. You can set the number of listings to display.

Since there are three pieces lined up horizontally, we recommend multiples of three.
