How do I place an Auction in a Post/Page?

Very Important: You can only place ONE auction per Post/Page. If you want to show a list of auctions in a Page, try our List Widget add-on.

  1. First, you need to add your auction.
  2. Set the “Show auction in AJAX Popup?:” to No and enter the URL of your Post/Page. Remember, your Post/Page has to be published already. This step is necessary to form a relationship between the Post/Page and the auction.
  3. You can then emded the auction in your Post/Page by using the custom panel that shows all your live auctions in a drop down or by using the custom shortcode [ wpauction id="1" ] where 1 is the auction ID. The auction ID is available from the Current Auctions panel of the plugin.
  4. If you embed an auction in a Post/Page without forming a relationship, from step 2 above, then the notification emails that get sent out will not re-direct the bidders to the correct location on your site.
