Tell us what you are trying to do? I whant to make ads for 1 month with post expired in cred and after that it will autorenew the ad with recurring payment, if the payment not good the post status change to draft, if the payment is complete the post status change to publish for 1 more month.
How can I do that?

First you'll need to determine how to set up recurring payments. That's not something Toolset is designed to help with directly. WooCommerce Subscriptions is one option. Unfortunately Forms Commerce is not well integrated with this extension - Forms Commerce only supports simple WC Products, not Subscription Products. So you won't be able to use Forms Commerce post status changes based on Order status. This means you'll have to write a significant amount of custom code to handle these changes, and the code will most likely use the WC Subscriptions API: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/subscriptions/develop/

You'll need to know how to link an Ad ID to a Subscription product, then you can use their API to change the Ad's post status based on the Subscription payment status.

Also, I must warn you that the Classifieds Reference site is not intended to be used as a boilerplate for an actual site. A large portion of the code for the Classifieds site is not written in a way that is easily extended. You will run into many problems if you try to extend this reference site beyond the existing functionality, even if you are an experienced developer. The Classifieds Reference site is available to show you what is possible, not to provide a ready-to-use starting point.
