Listivo Panel Advanced Setting

What every option under Listivo Panel > Advanced > Settings does: the pages Listivo redirects to, how to add a second search page, which contact form an ad uses, and the one switch you should leave alone.

This article provides a detailed guide on the options available under Listivo Panel → Advanced → Settings. It includes instructions for setting up Additional Search Pages and creating custom Login and Registration pages that are separate from each other. It also explains all other options available.

After a demo import these settings are already correct
Please remember that after the demo import, all settings are configured correctly and should generally not be changed, except in specific scenarios. Below, we describe what each option does.

1. Additional Search Pages

The Advanced screen of the Listivo Panel on its Settings tab, with arrows from the sidebar to the Additional Search Pages selector (reading Not Set) and the Panel Page, Compare Page and Login Page selectors below it.

WordPress supports one search page per custom post type — for example demo7.listivotheme.com/ads/. However, some website owners want multiple search pages, such as an additional map search page like demo7.listivotheme.com/map-search/. It is impossible to create a unique search page per term (different search pages for Vehicles and Real Estate, say), as the system supports only one main search, but a second page is still useful in some cases — for example when the map search is secondary and you only want to link to it from the menu. To handle this, create a new page via Elementor and place any of the following widgets on that page:

  • Search
  • Search V2
  • Search Map

Then, select this newly created page in the Additional Search Pages option. After selecting the new page, all search options will work correctly, especially breadcrumbs. This approach avoids loading unnecessary assets globally, improving Listivo's overall speed — which is why you need to set manually which page is an additional search page.

2. Panel Page

Here you select the page that contains the "Panel" widget. This is required if you use the front-end panel, as many functions across your website will redirect to that page. Examples include clicking "Add new ad" in the menu, logging in after a confirmation link, or using the monetization system.

The front-end user panel open on My Ads, listing an iPhone 13 pro case ad with Edit and Delete actions, while the Elementor sidebar on the left shows a note about the Panel widget.

3. Compare Page

Select the compare page so the Floating Bar across your website knows where to redirect users.

The floating compare bar open over a search page with three saved listings — Women's bicycle, Apple Iwatch and Wallie toy — and a Compare button, linked by an arrow to the Compare counter above it.

4. Login Page and Register Page

By default, the menu has Login | Register links that go to the same page with a widget containing tabs.

The site header with Log In and Register links above the login page, which shows Login and Register tabs with Continue with Facebook and Continue with Google buttons; arrows connect the header links to the Register tab.

If you prefer separate pages for login and registration, select the new page where each link needs to redirect. This way, your menu and other links across the website will point to your new pages. You can create a page dedicated to registration by making a new Elementor page and adding the "Login & Register" widget. This widget has an option called Type that lets you set it to both Login and Register (tabs), only Login, or only Register, as shown in the screenshot below.

The Login & Register widget open in Elementor with the Type dropdown showing Login and Register, Login, and Register; the registration form on the right has Username, E-mail, Phone, Password and account type fields.

5. Blog

Select your general blog page so widgets about posts know where to redirect users if they click, for example, the View All button, as shown below.

The Latest News section on the front end: a View all button in the top right, an arrow pointing back to the section heading, and blog cards such as "7 Instagram Accounts for…" and "Renovating a Living Room…".

6. 404 Page

If a page does not exist (for example, an ad was removed), you can redirect users to a specific page.

7. Contact User Form

Select the default Contact Form 7 form used on the single ad page user widget after clicking the "E-mail" button.

The user widget on a single ad page — Sophia Doe, member since 3 years, private account, online now, address and See all ads link, a masked phone number, and Chat and E-mail buttons — with the arrow pointing at the Chat button.

It will open the chosen contact form in a popup.

8. Legacy Mode

The Legacy Mode option with its checkbox unticked.
Leave Legacy Mode unchecked
Do not enable this option. It is only for those who migrated from Listivo 1.0 to Listivo 2.0 and still need the old widgets supported — it is not designed to work with the new Listivo 2.X theme, and turning it on can create styling problems. If you are making that migration, see Updating Listivo 1.X to Listivo 2.0.
