please help

you would use http://doc.osclass.org/Display_only_certain_type_of_listings
which is what is being used, but it looks like you forgot to add the function.

may I also recommend that you turn on your debug, it will help you immensely as you are creating your site.

I tried just now, but there is a little error that ads on the category appears twice, examples like this

category A

- Selling clothes pink girl
- Selling girl dress in blue

category B

- Selling men's shirt in red
- Selling clothes pink girl (ads in category A, category B appears on, this duplication ad)

how to avoid duplication of ads on different categories?
