I have a question, you list sub listings / child listing but all I see in the demo is the floor plans and very limited info am I missing something or is that the extent of a sub listing format? Apartments / condos / resorts have main amenities that are available to all with access to the main property but the units themselves can have vastly different features. What is more advantageous is something like the Real Home theme that lists the sub properties under the main but they have their own unique post associated with them. IE: they list the apartment building as a post and within that there are the units posted as well that link off to their own individual post as each units features are unique and can be showcased as such. Does this theme support that sort of functionality the documentation is unclear.

thanks in advance for your reply.

Checkout http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/multi-demo/listings/8542-el-paseo-grande/ and scroll to the bottom of the listing you’ll see the sub listings area (screenshot), in my demo example it uses a “Housing Community” however this can be used for apartments & condos with several units in the same building, or resorts with multiple villas within the same community, etc…I’ve also included an option for the “Community” taxonomy to change it to other wording (admin screenshot) for other purposes.

excellent that is more along the lines I’m looking for. Based on that though I’m looking at the demo for the front end submissions but I don’t see a way to add them as community when you’re submitting them am I missing something there? Also the addition feature are being submitted as a list when you post a property which isn’t optimal how do you maintain any continuity in your listings? For example if the bathroom has a jet tub, whirlpool spa, jacuzzi they are essentially the same thing but for anyone searching they are check boxes and it depends what the listing agent put in. In that instance you needed to pick 3 selections to get a complete overview of what you want from the search. If you factor in typos or just someone wording something differently that list could get rather long and unmanageable. Does it have the ability to have check boxes on the front end submit like it does for the search itself and just allow admins to add additional features? That’d be a much cleaner way to keep that search usable.

Thanks for the fast replies.

  1. There’s a Community input field on the Submit Listing page, screenshot.
  2. I’ve done it the way it is because its the most flexible and works for 99.999% of my buyers, also by default an Admin has to approve each listing before its published so any error correction can be done in that process, or you can choose for them to be auto published via the admin options. However you could modify it to only output “approved” or existing “additional features” as checkboxes, if that suits your needs better — Similar to the Advanced Search Page which outputs all additional features as checkboxes with a custom function that could be used in the Submit Listing Page as well although it will require some coding knowledge. Or I’m also available for customizations, etc…for a fee of course. We can discuss that further once you purchase.

Hey! How do I implement ihomefinder IDX search onto the front page? I added the IDX Search tab but it doesn’t appear, and then I added the short code to my home page but it doesn’t appear…

I also need to switch the listings page to the ihomefinder IDX.

Thanks. Should I open a ticket for it?

No need for that, just go into Appearance > Widgets > find the IDX Quick Search Widget (screenshot) > add to the IDX Search Homepage area > then go to Real Estate 7 Options > Homepage > Layout Manager > enable the IDX Search module and place it wherever you’d like (screenshot), you’ll most likely want to disable the normal Listings Search module as well, but that’s up to you. Thanks for your purchase!

Thanks so much! You guys rock!

No probs, if you haven’t already please be sure you rate my theme in your http://themeforest.net/downloads area — 5 stars is always very much appreciated!

Has this theme build-in support for OpenImmo2WP? I need a theme, where I can import data, provided in the OpenImmo format (http://www.openimmo.de). This import must run periodically, so I can keep the data on the website synchronized with OnOffice, my CRM.

I checked out the site and it uses XML so Yes I’m pretty sure it will work no problem, you would just need to use WP All Import along with the official theme add-on checkout http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/documentation/#wpallimport and http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/recurring/cron/

Hi, can you set the theme up such that users can put in their own currency

The theme already has a way for you to enter whatever currency you’d like via Real Estate 7 Options > Listings > Currency http://cl.ly/1t263h1N0l0T, along with placement options, etc…

If you’re referring to a currency switcher for users unfortunately there’s nothing out there that I’ve found to easily accomplish that its honestly a pretty complicated process to set one of those up, the only pre-built I’ve seen is just for WooCommerce or similar eCommerce plugins.

Hi, I have some pre-sale questions…Is there possibility custom modification (paid of course)?

Yes, I do offer customization services once you purchase just open a ticket on the support site with a detailed outline of what you’d like done, then post the ticket number here in the item comments and I’ll supply a quote. Thanks!

Good Morning,

We get in contact with you three days ago and we have not yet received a response. The ticket number is: #783538

I Attached the message again to see if youcan help us to fix it because we need to be able to work:

Good Morning,

We have added a second language to the template with the plugin WPML. In the default language which is English there is no problem and appear the featured properties on the home. But in the time that we did the Dutch translation there is no way to get that appear the featured listings in the home. We continue to put in the Status “Featured” but it doesn’t work in the second language.

Do you have to put it in any different way?.

Thank you.

I just personally responded to your ticket, need your WP admin and FTP details and I’ll get you sorted out real quick.

You’re all set, thanks again for your purchase!

Hi Guys

Can you see the number of views each property has had from visitors to the website? If not, do you have any suggestions eg other plugins etc that could do this.

Thanks

Definitely, s couple recommendations once you purchase — Google Analytics (checkout this how to article) for that there’s also JetPack Stats which is also a great stats plugin and a little simpler to setup, but if you require deeper integration I highly recommend using Google Analytics, its what I use for all my sites and demos.

Great, thanks for your advice. I was thinking that it might be a GA setup. I will advise my client that we can move forward with your theme.

Thanks :)

No probs, lemme know if ya have anymore questions.

Big New Feature Update Coming Friday — Brokerages!

The only real estate theme with the ability to add Brokerages > Brokers & Agents and tie them all together. checkout the demo!

This will allow you to add as many brokerages (custom post type, admin screenshot), brokers (user) and agents (user) as you wish on your site and apply relationships between all of them, perfect for real estate directories like Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, etc…

Full documentation and an instructional video, coming with the update Friday as well!

Is there a plan to make changing the order of Listing simpler? Perhaps a drag and drop function to move Listings around?

I used post-types-order and it works perfectly. Thanks!

No probs, as always thanks for your purchase! If you haven’t already be sure to rate the theme in your http://themeforest.net/downloads area — 5 stars is always very much appreciated!

DO you offer theme installation (demo content and make IDX work) and/or customization (enhancements to listing detail page)?

Yes, I do offer all the above. Once you purchase open a ticket on the support site with a detailed outline of everything you’d like done and I’ll provide a quote. Make sure to reply here with the ticket # as well, thanks!

hi, I just applied the most recent update to the theme, and it disabled my admin section and threw my navigation bar completely out of whack… Can you please fix?

http://www.bythelakeandwaterfront.com

Can you check the ticket again, the host people are useless. Thanks.

I’ve responded, Hina is working on the fix please be patient.

OK great, thank you.

Hello. Opened a ticket two days ago. #777384. No reply. Can someone assist please? Thanks

Sorry I am wrong. Actually I need Parish instead of State, Area, Suburb, Province or Region. Can you add “Parish” there? Real Estate 7 Options > Listings > State, Area or Region?

I’ll consider adding “Parish” as an option to the current “State, Area, Suburb, Province or Region” option in the next update v2.5.7

If you could please purchase an extended support pack it would be much appreciated, thanks!

I need a new theme for my listings site, but it is a FBSO site – can this theme deal with owners listing their own property? Also, they currently pay a fee via Paypal for set up and then automatically set up a yearly subscription – is this possible?

Assuming you meant FSBO or For Sale By Owner, yes it has a front end system for that very purpose it also includes a simple single payment option built in for PayPal, if you require a subscription based setup you’ll need to integrate a membership plugin like https://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-memberships/ or S2Member, or similar one of your choice whatever suits your needs best.

?Hi, How can we prevent your Theme (WP Pro Real Estate 7) from generating image sizes (5 versions of each image uploaded)?

?Thank you

Did you purchase the theme on another account? If so please open a ticket on the support with that one so I can verify purchase.

Hi, Is it possible to have the agent’s website appear along with the rest of the agent’s info??

I’ll include that in this weeks update along with the Brokers caution post type and accompanying new templates and features.

Hello there… :)

Your theme looks amazing. But before I buy it, I have a couple of questions regarding it’s functionalities.

Q1 : Let’s say a user creates an account and a listing. How does he receive payment from a third user who wants to rent the listing for 7 days with a 100dollar daily price?

Q1.1 : How do the listing creator receive his money? Can’t se any buy now buttons/features on the demo. The theme supports PayPal, but how does it actually work?

Q2 : Can I, as a admin charge an additional service fee to the payment transaction? Normally a broker takes a commission of the deal (important feature for me – the whole business idea) If that is possible, can I set a static extra change to all user listings and how is that additional fee showed in the frontend/payment process? I see you can set additional charges such as cleaning etc.

Q3 : Can I as admin dispense money to my listing owners via paypal? How can I monitor all transactions?

Q4 : When a user chooses to book a listing via the ‘book the listing’ form, how is the actual flow.: User sends request to book listing > listing owner get a notification/email? -> how does the listing owner approve the request? -> Once the request is approve, how do the buyer get notified? -> Once the buyer is notified that the booking owner has approved the request, how does the listing owner receive payment?—> Once approve and payed, how does the listing owner manage his booking in the frontend? (regular users are not allowed in my backend)

Q5: Can I as admin withhold payment from the listing owner until I in some way have received notice that the buyer has showed up and approved the situation. (for example the buyer show up at location and all the listing features was i lie)?

Q6 : How many extra plugins do I have to buy to get full demo fictionality? Many themes authors fail to mention 7 premium plugins are needed.

I hope you can see where i’m going with my questions. I’m looking for an airbnb like theme and I haven’t been lucky in my search so fare. Fingers crossed your theme meets my requirements. Alternatively, you are welcome to recommend compatible plugins for your theme to meet requirements.

Again your theme looks amazing, just need some more reassurance before buying.

Best Regards Frederik

Thanks for the crazy quick reply! I already own woo commerce bookings, so that is maybe a way to go. But how do I then link the listings with the woocommmerce bookings and how is it shown in the frontend? Because now I have to set the price + start, end-date i woo commerce and not your listings.

They actually use “bookable products” rather than WP Bookings using a shortcode to add the calendar and booking for to the listings custom post type. However it looks like you can use this extension https://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-accommodation-bookings/ I’m not 100% sure as I haven’t personally integrated it but looking at the features I think it’ll do the trick.

I’ve used that too before. Last Q before buying: So where do I input the price and dates. Listings or woo commerce and how does the listings produce the correct frontend from woocommmerce – The listing needs to know where to get the info? And can user input price and date when they add listings in the frontend? I just don’t wanna get caught in the same loop as I did with other themes booking themes out there.

The first time after i bought this theme i wrote on support on 25 of this month. after 2 days no answer i wrote comment here and after some hours my ticket was answered very fast with no mood for help. after i answer immediately i now count 5 days for answer and still nothing. The important is that i have no message informing that now for example we have a major update or something or the ticket line is big or anything that we all can say ok there is big something coming we are humans we can understand…... a mood of not want to solve something. like ok we got the money for the theme now swim. that is my feelings… i give you and example… when you upload listings you CAN’T move the marker on the MAPS!!! you need or put co ordinates exaxtly and imagine what this means if you want to put 300 – 500 listings at first stage….. or find by address that is not possible in many cases when we speak for a plot….. so your conclusions up to you… unfortunately i learned the hard way…after i bought…move to new server to be good..install…customize etc and not i hit on the wall :) i hope i help someone or more better the support team look customers after sale also.

i got reply now…not answer on weekends, and since we want 2 days until the weekend (and can take up to 2 days for answer) if i am lucky i will have answer on Monday coming… of course i am little ironic but please people i want to say with this way to improve your support. maybe need hire more people? i say this so that all customers that supports you including me to be happy. even if you say no on something we understand if it is on time. if wait 5 days to hear no it’s not a good thing. i hope you understand me and not be prejudiced on me because i say in public. i hope the best

Hi, Just realize “customise” does not respond to any changes since I updated. Changes using other means work

If you could please open a ticket on the support site with your WP admin details and we’ll take a look, I released an update (v2.1.1 5/3/2016) a little while back that included a fix for the Live Customizer > Save not working properly but that’s all fixed. http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/changelog/

Hey Contempo … have fixed some things … check out Ticket #784561 ;-)

I’ve brought this up to Hina my support staff she’ll be getting back to you shortly, thanks!

Hi contempoinc! If you open your sample “Its already built in checkout the demo here http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/vacation-rentals-demo/listings/castell-de-manresa/" and resize browser width to imitate mobile device, you’ll see there is a problem with “Book this listing” calendar. All dates are put into a single column. Problem exists in all main browsers (IE, FF and Chrome). Hope that will help to make your product better ;)

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll take a look into that!
