Frequently asked questions

Question: Where do I enable the Osclass admin toolbar on the front office?

Answer: Go to oc-admin, Users, User settings, check Enable admin toolbar in front, and save. The bar is off by default. Only logged-in administrators see it. Ordinary sellers and guests never get the toolbar. Osclass stores that switch in User settings, not in the theme.

Question: Who can see the Osclass front-office admin toolbar?

Answer: The admin toolbar is visible only to a logged-in administrator. Enabling it in Users, User settings does not show it to subscribers or guests. Use it while you walk listing pages. Log out to see the classifieds site as a visitor. The bar is not a seller moderation tool.

Question: Can I edit an Osclass listing from the front-office admin toolbar?

Answer: The admin toolbar includes an edit listing link into oc-admin when an administrator views a listing. Static pages get an edit page link. The bar also links to backoffice, logout, and the notification list. It does not replace the full item edit screen. Save still happens in oc-admin.

Question: What notifications show on the Osclass admin toolbar?

Answer: The admin toolbar lists new comments, listings marked as spam, and available updates while you browse the front. Sellers and guests never see it, even when Enable admin toolbar in front is checked. The bar is responsive on phone and desktop. Open a listing as admin to confirm it appears.
