Hi, Thank you for this amazing theme. Just 2 questions please : - Is it possible to sort the bedroom number on the advanced search from min to max value ? At the moment, the values are displayed randomly. - Is it possible to automatically sort the listings on the search result page from lower to higher price? The site URL is : https://barnestransac.dara-agency.com/
A fast support answer from you is needed. Thanks in advance. Matt
Morning, thanks glad you’re enjoying it!
Recommend using the Beds+ and Baths+ fields if you’re going into the double digits, go into Real Estate 7 Options > Advanced Search.
Yes, there’s a sort by option in the search results the user can use for that.
Hello, thank you it’s much better for the beds with the beds+ option. For the sort by option for the search results, can we use one option as default (low to high prices) ? Also, I’m using the price slider on the advanced search, but it doesn’t seem to work properly, it doesn’t sort the results. One last question, on the listing page where all listings are displayed, it is possible to use a small photo slider on the thumbnail ? I’d like to display more than one picture. Please keep me informed. Regards, Matt
- Yes, but would require customizations. Unfortunately, in-depth modifications like this are outside the scope of my support. Hope you understand.
- Do you have an example I can look at?
- Yes, but same as #1
Hi, point 2. is fixed now, the price slider is working perfectly, but, I’d like to know we can add like from 1,xxx,xxx to 100,xxx,xxx+ ? How much will you charge for point 1 et 3 ? Waiting for you quote. Thanks
You can set the min/max values in real estate 7 options > advanced search.
Open a live chat with a detailed outline and any examples on http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/ (bottom right corner) and I can get you a quote and turnaround time.
Hi,
I am unable to import or activate a demo. The setup shows that my websites meets all requirement but when i select a demo (demo 3 – wpbakery) from the drop-down and click next to start importing. it shows 0% and stops there.
See previous reply.
Hi, I am unable to import or activate a demo. The setup shows that my websites meets all requirement but when i select a demo (demo 3 – wpbakery) from the drop-down and click next to start importing. it shows 0% and stops there.
Hi. Its due to your server timing out on the demo import process, keep in mind my demos have a TON of very large images which take some time to download depending on the server resources. Did you make sure to check https://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/docs/installation-demo-import/#theme-requirements before running the wizard, you’ll need to make sure your PHP settings are correct as outlined in the documentation.
Once you’ve done that the easiest way to get it back is to use the WordPress Reset plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-reset/, sets you back to WordPress default database then just reactivate my Real Estate 7 theme and you’ll be directed to the setup wizard then just follow the steps and make sure to select and import a demo on step 4, as outlined in my narrated instructional video https://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/docs/installation-demo-import/
It’s not required but I recommend getting https://www.siteground.com/go/ct-wordpress-hosting and their GoGeek plan, have a ton of buyers using them, really fast, optimized for WordPress, excellent customer service and works great with my theme.
Another recommendation is Cloudways its excellent, easily scalable if needed, super-fast, free migration and great customer support also works great with my theme and you can spin up a 1GB server from them starting at $10/month https://www.cloudways.com/en/?id=128386
I am using namecheap shared hosting already. However, i do not understand exactly where to add the codes shown on the instruction to .htaccess.
php_value max_execution_time 40000 php_value memory_limit 512M php_value post_max_size 64M php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
Should i add this line within the </IfModule> or outside the closing tag of the htaccess.
Not to worry. Everything works fine now.
Glad to hear it.
Hi Contempo, really like the look of your theme and you have some awesome feedback in terms of support. This is a pre-sale question for an Australian based property management client – does the property feed support REAXML syncing? Thanks in advance.
Morning, thanks! If that service supports exporting via XML or CSV you can use WP All Import to sync the data, once you purchase have a look at https://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/docs/wp-all-import/ I also offer data mapping services if needed.
Hi, I’m sure you’ve answered this question but I couldn’t find what I was looking for in the comments. Is there a way to change how many columns there are in the footer? I know how to take the information out via widgets but the remaining content still displays in 4-columns. Any help you could provide would be awesome!
Thanks, Lindsay
Morning, changing the footer columns requires getting into some code via your child theme, and modifying the admin > sidebars.php file or copying the footer widgets sidebar function to your child themes functions.php then modifying from there.
This is a tremendous theme. I’m excited about the recent update. Were you able to add a CT Listings Grid carousel as we discussed a few weeks ago? My client is eager to implement a carousel for Available Homes. Thanks!
Hi, thanks glad you’re enjoying it! Not in this update but I did add it to the list when we spoke before for possible inclusion in the future.
Thanks for the quick response. Is it possible to take this conversation to private email? We want to contract you for additional compensation to add that carousel feature to our website. It’s a client requirement and I don’t have the programming skillset to get that done.
Also, how do I use the ‘square footage slider’ as a search tool? I can’t seem to get that to render on screen like I can the ‘price slider’. Thanks!
Sure, can use the live chat via http://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/

Hi! I would like to insert listing (3 properties) in my home slider. Is it possible to do that? Thanks for your answer! Gaëlle
Morning, yes you can create a slider with Elementor (recommended) or Slider Revolution https://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/docs/slider-revolution/
Did you buy the theme on another account I can’t verify support or your purchase?
Hi! Thanks for your answer
I got the site but it was not I who bought the theme. So I discover it … My client would like to have 3 properties in his slider. Is it possible to put this kind of post?
Yes please refer to the previous reply.
Another Happy RE7 Buyer!
Hi, have you any idea how I can fix my single listing images when clicked to enlarge I get the image can not be loaded. It was working fine this morning so I’m not sure what’s happened.
Morning, things really don’t just “stop working all of sudden” something has changed on your site, possibly a new plugin that was added or maybe some modifications that were done. You’ll need to do some detective work and go back and see what happened and remedy it, I’d start by deactivating any non-required plugins and testing. You can also have your hosting provider check your raw server error logs.
Just a heads up your support is expired and you’ll need to purchase an extended pack, thanks!
HI, i’m making a site on wordpress with your theme. i nedd to add floor in the listing and add rooms (now i have only bedrooms), and change energetic class names (where?)
Morning, you can choose Rooms via Real Estate 7 Options > Listings scroll towards the bottom.
If you’d like to add new fields like “Floor”, I’d recommend using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, you’ll need to create a child theme https://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/docs/child-themes/ then copy over each of the templates you’d like to add your newly created fields too. Unfortunately, customizations like this are outside the scope of my support, hope you understand.
The Energy Class names can’t be changed at this point in time, without code modifications.
Hello,
This theme is great, but has a big problem that the author must solve, when I submit 2 properties with different images, but with the same names, the second property takes the images from the first one. for example, if property 1 has images 1.jpg and 2.jpg, and property 2 has different images but with the same name. the same photos appear in both properties.
This has already been validated in the demo that is published.
I already bought the theme, but I can’t go live until it is resolved.
Hi, we spoke about this via live chat on a few occasions, it’s how WordPress handles Media not the way the theme operates itself.
Hello Chris, Thank you for reply as fast as you usually do.
We had already discussed this, but I did not have a solution.
Wordpress renames the physical files. But I think the Theme saves it with the name that comes up, and when the theme shows the image, it searches for it with the original name, not the one modified by wordpress.
I bought and used another theme for real state and I had no problem like this with wordpress, I decided to buy realstate7 because it has great characteristics the others do not have.
But imagine that I have several customers uploading their properties, many images from one customers will appear to another in their properties and when a customer deletes a image the other is also deleted. This is serious, I really don’t know how other customers are handling it.
The other thing is that if I remove an image and upload it again with a modification, it keeps seeing the previous one, I have to change the name to a unique name for it to work.
I understand that a fast work arround would be that when the image is uploaded it will automatically rename itself in yyyymmddhhmmss.jpg format. or something like that.
Or not index by file name, it must be by ID.
I hope you can find a work arround for this. Is a great Theme, but this must be handle.
Please let me know if this can be handle in future releases
Best regards.

I don’t know if this is just happening on my devices, but my website (and other Real Estate 7 websites I’ve seen) have started to glitch. After loading 3-5 pages on a fresh browser, there is a momentary white screen. The pages load fine but the white screen is strange. It didn’t happen before. Some examples of random websites where this happens: https://www.unikehouses.com/ https://www.capevillarentals.com/

Hi, I need to develop a real estate portal for multiple real estate agents. Each agent would need its own login and own listing page with logo and contact details of their company. And each agent can only view and edit its own properties in the admin panel. Is this possible? Thank you.
Morning, there is a full front end system for registered users to add & manage listings on the site, with optional membership and packages for monetization.
You can login to the following demo with agent/agent to test it out, https://contempothemes.com/wp-real-estate-7/elementor-demo/Thank you for your quick reply. Can registered users be limited to the ones only created by the admin?
Yes, the admin can create the users and have the front end registration disabled but keep the front end login.
Hello, I’m having a specific issue with the carousel when viewing mobile view. The images are get extremely large when displayed on smart phones and browser emulators that run mobile views.
Hi, do you have any screenshots or a URL so I can have a look?
Gotcha, yeah that’s something else causing some conflicts, disable any non-required plugins and test.
Here’s a screenshot from Chrome just resizing causing the layout to break and always go full device width https://share.getcloudapp.com/WnubKbyK not the way the theme works by default something is changing that behavior.
Okay, I’ll try disabling non-essential plugins and see if that helps
LOL! The very first non-essential plugin I disabled fixed it! Thank you!
Awesome, glad to help!
Hi, I wonder if you can help? I can’t search by property type? I’ve checked slugs etc and all seems fine but it brings up all properties regardless of whether I select villa, apartment etc.
See www.sleekproperty.com if you need to check?
Replace your wp-content > themes > realestate-7 > admin > theme-functions.php with https://gist.github.com/contempoinc/320c4322ecd6f5559eae7b6a36d51678 and you’ll be all set, that fix will also be in the next theme update.
Lovely thank you 
Not a problem
Hi again sorry to be a pain, I’ve tried to change the code and upon saving it says “unable to communicate back to site and to try using SFTP”
(I don’t know what this means sorry) – I do now have a submit listing on desktop header though which is pretty cool 
You’ll need to talk with your hosting provider support on that sounds like the file isn’t writable through your admin.
Okay no thank you. Is this an update which is coming soon? I can just hang on until then if so
The update will probably be out mid-month.
That should have said no worries thank you
Hi, hope all is well. Just a quick question. Is there anyway of being able to add an extra feature section to the packages so the benefits of higher price can be distinguished? I’m wanting to basically add “professional photographs” “floor plans” etc included in premium package.
Thanks xx
Morning, the best method to do that would be with some Javascript and using append() otherwise you’ll have to get into the packages plugin code, if you go that route you can’t update.
Okay no worries, thank you. I’m not sure I’d be able to manage it myself I’m worried I’d mess it up.
I couldn’t download the whole file. I tried all zip file. it gave me expire link!
Morning, that’s due to your upload limit have a look at https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-link-you-followed-has-expired-error-in-wordpress/ your host can fix that for you, make sure they increase it to 12mb then run the process again, or you have the option of using FTP as well.
Hi Chris After updating the theme, my single listings image gallery still has a square where the arrows should be. Any idea? Also the svg option for the map markers – I can’t find the css for those markers after choosing the svg option? Thank you
Morning, make sure to clear/purge that otherwise the front end changes wont show, usually there’s a menu item in the top dark gray admin bar, something like “Purge Cache” or similar to do that.
Also, clear your browser cache with shift+refresh.
I have cached and purged everything. I’m using Hummingbird and Cloudflare for that. Could it be anything else? Also other changes I’ve made do show.
Guaranteed your server is still serving up the old stylesheet for the flexslider nav, or its your browser if you’ve updated to v3.0.0 properly.
Hi Chris, Just had a long conversation with my host about the above and they say I should be able to see the changes on the backend (but I cant – the arrow is still a box on the backend). I have cached my Cloudflare numerous times and still the changed do not reflect. What could be happening? Please help. Thank you.
I’d have them check your server error logs and go from there, most likely 404 problems.
I have checked with the server end and after checking the error logs the host suggests that the functions.php is having trouble. They suggested I contact you about it. Could you help?
Can 110% guarantee its not the child or parents functions.php also not a theme or associated plugins bug.
ok understood – do you have any advise of where I could start looking when most errors end like this ”/themes/realestate-7/admin/theme-functions.php on line 3083”
should I re-install the theme?
Could try deleting the theme and installing again might help.
OK thanks
Hi again,
I’ve spent hours on this and it just leads me back to RE7. I did delete and re-install the theme – the errors persist and the flexslider still shows boxes and not arrows. My host confirms that the theme itself is giving errors. My error logs are filled with RE7 errors like this one:
PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home3/vacatjk3/public_html/wp-content/themes/realestate-7/admin/theme-functions.php on line 3083
Perhaps I need to replace theme-functions.php ??
Thank you again
Morning, that’s just a warning, not an error also isn’t related to any type of problem with the icons not showing. What’s the URL to the listing where you’re seeing the icon issue?
I will send it to you on chat thank you
Replied via live chat — problem solved and you’re all set, thanks!
There is an additional issue that we need help with on: http://jonaswebsitedesign.com/verticalbuilders/
On the homepage, we have an Elementor Advanced Search bar. My client wants to use the Size Slider for users to search square footage. The Size Slider is enabled, but not rendering on screen. Can you please help me achieve that Size Slider functionality? I can provide Admin access as needed.
The CT Listings Search module for Elementor isn’t setup to use those slider options at this point in time due to the style and column sizes it would be very, very small, recommend using the price from/to fields.
I really appreciate the quick response. It’s strange, I can get the Price Slider to display and work well in the CT Listings Search (within Elementor), but not the Size Slider despite it being visible in the Enable column on the backend. My client fell in love with the Size Slider (sq. ft.) when selecting themes and wants to find a way to use it. Currently, we are using to/from fields.
We’ll possibly add all of them in a future update, they just don’t work well in the space.
