High a couple of questions on the Agents Page.
1. If we use the small photo and contact details option the button to Show Listings does not appear but clicking on the Agent does then show the full bio and all listings. My feeling is the option to click a Show Listings on this would be more obvious.
2. The click through page with listings etc has a URL sitename/author/agentname. Would this not be more appropriate as agent rather than author? Also there is no form of access to this page. We would like to create a direct access using a custom menu option so that an agent could promote his own page on the site that would be sitename/agentname. I am assuming the template is the “author.php page. Any suggestions welcome
Thanks

- That’s correct and done by design as the button would take up way to much space the Grid layout is supposed to be compact for brokerages that have a lot of Agents, like this buyer http://www.mainstreetrealestategroup.com/brokers/ has 50 and counting. However if you want you can always create a child theme copy over the template-agents.php and make modifications as you see fit for your particular site.
- You can change the standard WordPress slug author to agent or whatever you’d like as I did in the demo site with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/
Thanks again for your purchase!
Thanks
Can this theme be set up so that sold listings are taken out of the ‘listings’ mix, but can be shown on their own page?
Yes, I’ve actually included a status called Ghost so that any listing with that applied is removed from the standard listings search, more on that http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/documentation/#taxonomies. Then you can create a page and use the Visual Composer > CT Listings module to display any listings with the Sold status if you’d like http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/documentation/#visualcomposer.
Awesome – thanks for your reply. I have included your theme on my short list for the client.
Hi, the theme has a price/linting option, but i need a price/picture to. Can you make it? Thanks
Hi, not quite sure I’m following the question could you be a little more descriptive? Are you referring to the sorting feature on the search results, example Price High to Low, Price Low to High?
Hi, No, i’m referring to submit a listing in Front Page. Now, that agency or agent will pay for his listing, right? Well, besides that, i need him to pay extra for the large number of pictures, or even price per picture.
Ah, ok you would need to make modifications or integrate a membership plugin that would allow you to have different levels of payments for different options, etc…
Do you know a plugin like that? Or can you make it for an extra payment?
There’s a lot of options out there free and paid take a look at this review post by my friend Chris Lema http://chrislema.com/best-wordpress-membership-plugin-2015/

hello,
I have a question about editing a home.
If I want again to edit an existing property, I see a few errors in the editing screen. The map will disappear and the text that I wrote in the “property features’ disappears. Is this a bug in the theme?
regards, Jelle Kuijpers
Definitely not a bug, make sure you’re running the most up to date version and test again sounds like a file or something might be corrupt or possibly the data you’re entering isn’t correct. Thanks for your purchase!
Hello I am a beginner I made a mistake that I had to delete and start again. Now I have an error with the slider revolution indicates not activated. But when I write it. it shows “the purchase code is invalid” What can I do ?
No need to enter a purchase code for Slider Revolution, just activate the plugin add the slug of your slider to Real Estate 7 Options > Homepage > Revolution Slider http://cl.ly/1A0T170Z1h0U and you’ll be good to go. You can dismiss the notice to register Slider Revolution as well, I always update the plugin for you via theme updates. Thanks for your purchase!
thank you for your reply I have the plugin but it says “plugin activation” NO ACTIVATE And Apparances / Pluggin installed> Activate Slider Revolution for Premium Benefits. You can Enter an existing key or Purchase a license key license. I can not do the update, I have the version 5.2.1
I m lost…
Just close/ignore that message, also make sure you’re running the latest version of the theme you shouldn’t get that message when updating. Please see this article on updating https://contempo.ticksy.com/article/5970/
Hello, I´m interested in buying the template. Can I modify a template to include parts from the other styles and make on more suited to me?
You can modify it via a child theme and all the included hooks till your hearts content, take a look at http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/documentation/#childthemes and http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/documentation/#advdev
Hi,
I will like to use this theme for renting temporal spaces , like a office for 1 hour etc.
Can the user submit the property and manage the availability? When a booking is done what happens, can the use pay the booking online, will the property owner get notify, will he have a place to see the bookings that have being paid or done?
Please help me explaining how the booking system works. I{m looking something as airbnb for offices.
Hi There,
Pre-sales question: I am looking to set the website up so that it works in a similar way to emoov.co.uk (allows you to sell your own home). I understand your theme works with Membership plugins, namely Memberpress.
I would need to set it up so that a customer pays upfront for say 1 month and then is able to list a single property only. How simple is this to setup with your theme/memberpress?
Would the plugin and theme be able to talk to each other and offer a featured listing?
The same with regards to booking a viewing on the property – the plugin though which you recommend, for multi-user is $650, which is a lot. Would this all work on a front-end property management basis?
Thanks!
Because of the multitude of membership plugins available, theres noway I can build in specific compatibility features to interface with the frontend listing system unfortunately, so I’m guessing some modifications will need to be made, but I really doubt it would be very difficult you’ll basically just be putting the frontend submit, edit & manage listing pages behind your membership paywall and using its built in features for payment, login, register, etc…
You can use any booking plugin you’d like one I would recommend is https://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/
Thanks for the quick reply.
I appreciate you cant make it compatible for everything that would be nuts!
I see how you mean in terms of limiting things out, if we just want a single listing available per subscription, how would that work? Is there an option within the theme to set 1 listing per account max?
For the booking plugin, the client is looking to have a calendar where someone can request a viewing for a person’s property and the property owner can accept or decline the invitation.
Finally – do you offer custom work?
Thanks again
james
That would have to be a part of the membership plugin you setup to limit the amount of listings a user can post based on the level they paid/signed up for.
The Woo Booking calendar could handle that no problem.
I do offer custom development & design work, site migration and setup, etc…basically once you purchase the theme you can shoot me a message via my profile with a detailed outline of everything you’d like to accomplish and I’ll provide a quote.
Hello, I’ve just installed this theme But i’m getting stuck at 99 percent when installing the demo content for the multi listing template. Please advise thanks
Thanks for your purchase, please see this KB article its a simple max_execution_limit change you need to make https://contempo.ticksy.com/article/5952/
ok thank you. Now I’ve installed the demo but it does not look like the demo on your site and when i go to the home page i get the following error “Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias not found. Maybe you mean: ‘home-realestate’ or ‘home-realestate1’ or ‘home-realestate2’” There is also no option inside a listing to view images that are “uploaded to this post” like the video you published.
Go into Real Estate 7 Options > Homepage > Revolution Slider > enter home-realestate into the Slider Alias field > Save Settings and you’‘ll be good to go. http://cl.ly/460P3q071R3U
Make sure you’ve installed and activated all the required plugins via Appearance > Install Plugins, otherwise the proper options, custom post types, custom fields, taxonomies, etc…won’t be available.
great that worked. Maybe i’m missing something but the testimonials and the partners did not load into my demo.
and i have no menus etc
Sounds like all the content didn’t actually import, for the menus go to Appearance > Menus > Locations > assign Primary and Footer.
For the testimonials and partners you’ll need to add those via Real Estate 7 Options > Homepage > Testimonials & Partners.
Can you tell me, If i have my web programmer edit the css (to make it so a larger logo can fit in the header) using a child theme, would those changes be lost if one of your updates edits the css? He told me that if your updates aren’t made in a child theme, then all those revisions from the base theme will have to be removed and redone in a child theme….. please advise how to solve this. thank you.
Thats actually the reason for more a child theme so that when I release updates to the parent theme your specific changes won’t be lost.
Hi, I installed this theme on my wordpress site and i’m not able to use the skin creator, it seems like maybe the files might have been corrupted? please advise what i need to re install
Make sure you select Yes from the Use Custom Styles? option, it can be set via Real Estate 7 Options > Create a Skin (click the main link) and you’ll be all set.
it is selected but i still cannot create the theme. when i go to change the colors there’s no color picker etc.
do you have a number or email i can send my issue to? it seems that your support site is down “https://contempo.ticksy.com/”? also i have 2 tickets that have been open for a week i believe.
Ticksy my service provider is having server issues unfortunately, although they’re working on it hope to have it resolved very shortly.
ok, but can you help me fix the promlem i’m having now? i think some files need to be reinstalled. can you tell me how to reinstall the theme without loosing any customization i’ve done already?
Support site is back up, what are your ticket #s? Reinstalling won’t affect anything you’ve set like options, content, etc…as those are all stored in the database so you can safely delete the theme and re-upload and activate safely.
ok i will delete and re upload thanks. Private Ticket #704284 and Private Ticket #711718 hasnt’ been a week yet, i sent them on the 18th and 21st.
Ok, thanks having Hina look right now. Appreciate your patience.
great please tell hina i’m about to submit a ticket for the problems i’m having now. unable to create a skin and revolution slider not showing up correctly
here is my ticket for today’s problem which is pretty daunting. i’d appreciate if you can get hina to look at asap . Private Ticket #714556
She’s taking a look right now.
Thank you for the quick reply.
where can I find a list of the required plugins to keep installed for this theme? I have too many plugins and i want to delete some but i’m not sure if they were required for wp real estate pro 6 or they’re for 7. thanks
These are required:
- Contempo Real Estate Custom Posts
- Slider Revolution
These are optional:
- WPBakery Visual Composer
- Booking Calendar
- Co-Authors Plus
- Contempo Mortgage Calculator Widget
Thank you is there a way using the theme to generate contact forms similar to the “request more info” forms on the listing pages? These contact forms come from the address that is entered in the email field. but when i use jetpack or contact 7 the emails always come from wordpress@mydomain.com
Those forms are custom coded so they do included listing information, etc…not sure if that’s possible with Contact Form 7 or JetPack unfortunately.
Hello, I’m still waiting for a few tickets to be responded to. Private Ticket #714556, Private Ticket #715741, Private Ticket #704284 please advise thanks
Hello, I have version 5, can I upgrade to V7? are there any hassles? do you have documentation on this?
Thanks.
You can, I’ve actually personally upgraded a buyer from RE3 to 7 http://stayfurnished.com/, you can use the WP All Import plugin along with the official theme add-on plugin please see http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/documentation/#wpallimport, you would also use the WP All Export plugin as well to export out your current site content into the new database https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-export/. Easiest way to do it is setup a dev site on your server in say another folder called dev, install WordPress, export out the data from your current live site, import into the dev site, get everything running the way you like it, then install the theme on the live site, and switch the database connection via wp-config.php and you’re all good to go.

Not quite sure I’m following the question?
Chris,
I am trying to activate front end user registration for people who want to create an account and favorite properties for their portfolios. For some reason, even after installing a membership plugin, I cannot activate memberships and no one can create an account from the font end.
Is there a walkthrough text for this or a simple video to explain this process? Ive already submitted a ticket through contempo support and have yet to hear back about this issue.
Thanks!
Unfortunately I don’t have any walkthroughs for membership plugins as those are third party and I can’t provide support there, just a heads up the login/register frontend submission is all built into the theme you only need a membership plugin if you’d like to sell different packages.
Whats your ticket #?
Hi! Been reading some earlier comments about captcha and wonder if you have you been able to come up with a solution on how to enable reCAPTCHA in your contact page template yet? It’s a nice contact form and a reCAPTCHA enabled here would be splendid.
Thanks!
I’ll see about getting this as an option this week.
Hi there
I’m considering buying the theme but I have a question that is very important to me. I do not want to be constantly changing themes, so when next year comes the version 8 of this theme, how actively you continue maintaining the version 7 ?. What I mean is that if I want to stay with this theme for several years, perhaps paying support, can do so without problems.
Thank you
You can see from the changelog that I update two or three times a week normally http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/changelog/ no need to worry it will always be maintained.
I am having problems with: “Show on agents page”. When i check and save appear uncheck, why?
Please open a ticket on the support site sounds like a database issue.
Hello, I’ve already done but the support site doesnt works. I have to resolve this urgent. Another issue, the images on propertie page not load.
Update your theme to the latest version I released a fix for the Agents checkbox last week v1.7.8 on 3/2/2016 latest version is v1.8.4 http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/changelog/, update and you’ll be good to go on that and get the new features. https://contempo.ticksy.com/article/5970/
i did it. I dont know if i do it right. But i have updated the version. Put the child theme as the current. But i still having problems to show featured properties on home page, the box of “show on agents page” still unchecked, and i dont have the third page builder for home page.
The agent checkbox is 100% fixed, make sure you’re overriding the entire parent theme folder and in your child theme have you copied over and modified template files in your child theme? Or just CSS?
can you please tell me which is the entire parent of the agent checkbox? For the child theme i just create one, and put it as the current theme, without adding or edit anything
The entire folder you download from Themeforest named realestate-7.zip, you’ll need to unzip that and upload via FTP overwriting the existing folder on your server.
Thanks..i think that i already fix everything. Just the last issue. I cant see the featured listing on home page, just the title. On homepage settings, on theme admin, i add “featured listing”, then i put some properties as featured (“destacada” in fact, because its translated) on edit listing…but i can´t see them. Do you no what could be
Make sure that you tag is as “Featured” and it’ll appear on the homepage.
Due to the impossibility of the theme to easily change the characteristics and their values ??(eg enter the number of kitchens or sofas and other previously described absurd problems ) and the lack of support of the authors, I lost my customer, who prefers use another theme, more reliable and flexible. I have always worked with wordpress and with free and professional issues, but it had never happened to find the difficulties so insurmountable. Martina
I’m very sorry to hear that, not sure what you mean by lack of support and all the other “issues” you’ve stated, did you ever open any tickets on the support site? Number of Kitchens and Sofas aren’t standard fields normally however more fields can be added by using a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields, then you could just create a child theme and output those within the templates wherever you’d like them to appear. Its pretty straightforward and definitely not “absurd” or “insurmountable” to say the least.
