1) I don't want anyone to be able to post on my site for free...so I went to the payment page & updated that. I'm confused at how my dashboard still asks when I enter the data- Free listings or Pro Listings? Do I need to enter all my data (listings) in as Free listings (even though they paid prior to my site being up?) I was listing all as Pro but it was making them all featured banners...changed to Free & they are correct. What defines Pro or Free when all my ads will be paid ads? 2) Is there a way I can take Recent Listings Off the home page & put it somewhere else? Maybe make a link & add a new page with that info?
If you don't want to provide free listing post in your website, you can deactivate the free listing option from payment option. After you set deactivate it, that will not show free listing option in listing submition page.
And when the user (listing sumitor) select any of the payment packages, user have to first pay the payment. In this stage, the listing will be submited in pending mode. After payment receive successful, if will be submited as you set pending or publish mode in theme option panel. See below thumbnail.
