Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/emregunarslan/listivocurrencychange/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/emregunarslan/listivocurrencychange ↗

A standalone WordPress plugin for Listivo ad forms. It keeps a CAD price box and a USD price box in sync while the seller types:

  • Type in CAD → the USD box fills in automatically.
  • Type in USD → the CAD box fills in automatically.
  • The auto-filled box becomes read-only until the source box is cleared, so both prices cannot drift apart.
  • The converted value is written into the real Listivo field and saved with the ad.

No theme files are edited. Tested against Listivo / listivo-core 2.3.93 on racecarandgear.com.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer.
  • The Listivo theme with two price boxes on the ad submission form.
  • PHP's SimpleXML extension (enabled on virtually all hosts) for reading the rate feed.

Installation

  1. Zip this folder (the folder must contain listivo-currency-converter.php).
  2. In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip and activate it.
  3. Go to Settings → Listivo Currency.

Default configuration

The defaults match the current field IDs on racecarandgear.com:

Setting Default
CAD field #listivo_130_listivo_13 — the required Price (CAD) field
USD field #listivo_9145 — the Price in Other Currencies text field
Fallback rate 1.4488 CAD per USD
CAD rounding nearest 5
USD rounding nearest 1
Decimals 0

If the IDs change (for example, after recreating a custom field), update the two selectors. If a selector is empty or no longer matches, the plugin falls back to looking for CAD / USD in the field labels.

If the main Listivo Price field is actually USD, swap the two selectors: the rate is always quoted as 1 USD = X CAD.

How the rate works

  • Rates are read from the European Central Bank daily reference feed (no API key or account).
  • USD/CAD is derived from the ECB's EUR-based quotes.
  • The rate is cached in the lcc_rate_data option for 12 hours and refreshed twice daily by WP-Cron.
  • The ad form only reads the cached rate, so it never waits on the feed; the settings screen and WP-Cron refresh it.
  • If the feed is unreachable, the last successful rate is kept; on a fresh install the configured fallback rate is used and the hint says "fallback rate".
  • Settings → Listivo Currency → Refresh rate now forces an update.
  • Developers can filter the rate with lcc_usd_to_cad_rate and the enqueue condition with lcc_should_enqueue.

What gets written

  • A Listivo price field receives a plain number, e.g. 2761.
  • A Listivo text field receives an amount and code, e.g. 2,761 USD, matching the format already used by existing ads.
  • If you later change the second field to a Listivo Price field, the plugin automatically writes a plain number instead.

Notes

  • The script only loads on /panel/ URLs (the create/edit listing screens). Use the lcc_should_enqueue filter if the form is on another URL.
  • The existing Baxtersweb display-currency plugin is left untouched; this plugin only changes what is entered in the ad form.
  • The hint under the converted box shows the rate used and whether it is a fallback.
