WPL, Wordpress Property Listing

REALTYNA - SALES DEPARTMENT

Last update: April, 2022

Contents of this Manual are applicable to the WPL, the Wordpress plugin. Details of this Manual

may be different based on the customizations you have or your software.

Introduction

This manual contains information about the WordPress Property Listing (WPL) Plugin.

WPL is a powerful plugin that provides the ability for real estate websites using WordPress to

conveniently add and manage properties, property agents, as well as offer access management

and memberships for users. WPL is designed to handle small companies with a few agents as

well as large companies with many agents. WPL has many customizable options, themes,

packages, and installable Add-ons.

Using a mighty and easy form creator, WPL allows the website admin to freely customize

property/listing fields. For example, if the admin wants to have a select box (or textbox) to add

frontend information, which (by default) has not been included in WPL, the Flex Menu can be

used to create this field. Form elements such as bedroom, price, half bathrooms, etc. can be

made mandatory, enabled, or disabled with just a few clicks in the Flex function.

By using WPL, you can list properties on your website with different criteria. For example, you

can create a menu for showing featured properties or another menu for showing rental or

vacation listings. You can also list your agents by creating a Profile/Agent listing menu and your

visitors can see all of your agents or specific agent's properties by using this menu.

Visitors can search properties by using search widgets, browse properties on the map, see

property details and many other fantastic features.

System Requirements

1. WPL can install and work on most of the standard web servers but please check

following article for a list of WPL Server requirements:

and users will view when they access your website.

WPL Backend: The WPL interface working in the WordPress administrator section. It is the

to, but it generates what is seen on the frontend.

Installation

If you have the installation package of WPL, you can easily upload it from the following path:

WordPress->Plugins->Add New->Upload

If you do not currently have the installation package, you can find the latest version of WPL in

https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-estate-listing-realtyna-wpl/

Also you can install the WPL directly from WordPress->Plugins->Add New. You should activate

the plugin after installation.

The WPL plugin widgets such as search, carousel and agents along with some other features are

included in WPL package, which can be found upon activating WPL.

You can also purchase advanced themes, more Add-ons and features from our official website:

https://realtyna.com/shop/wpl-shop/

These Add-ons and features include MLS/RETS integrations, PRO Add-on, more professional

themes, etc. There is also the option to order any customized features and themes.

Getting Started

Immediately after installing and activating the WPL, you can use it out of the box. You just need

to add your listings! BTW, you may need to configure some parts of WordPress and WPL based

on your needs.

WordPress Configuration

It's recommended to use one of WPL native themes or compatible themes. If you're using the

PRO version of WPL, then you can install and use Theme28 of WPL. You should receive this

theme upon purchasing WPL PRO.

It is not mandatory to use WPL themes. You can also use your preferred WordPress theme.

However, you may need to make some CSS/HTML tweaks in the WPL interface in order to

match your desired WordPress theme.

If you want to show listings on the homepage of your website, you just need to create a

Home page and put [WPL] shortcode into the page. You shouldn't use the WPL Properties page

as the home page.

For adding WPL pages in your website menu, you should use Appearance->Menus. First, select

the menu group that you want to work on from the top of the page. Based on your WordPress

theme, they may be listed in order of Top Menu, Footer Menu, Side Menu, etc.

The next step is selecting the page that you want to assign to the new menu. Type the menu

name and click on Add to Menu. Then you should select the right position for the new menu

among other menus. The final step is to click on the Save Menu button on top of the page.

For adding WPL search and WPL carousel widgets you can use Appearance->Widgets and

include them in your theme's sidebars.

Also, you should set WordPress Permalink Setting to one of the advanced options. You can find

this option on the Settings->Permalinks menu.

WordPress Configuration

After the installation, a menu named WPL will be added to the admin section of the website.

You can manage all of the administrative activities

of the WPL through this menu.

WPL has a very advanced and flexible data

structure. It allows you to add/edit property fields

of the "Add Listing" menu from the administration

section through the Flex Add-on without any

programming.

Additionally, you can manage the Property Types

(such as Apartment, Villa, Office, Land, etc.) and

Listing Types (such as For Sale, For Rent, Vacation

Rental, Student Accommodation, etc.). These types

are pre-populated by some default values, but you

can always add more fields or edit/delete existing

ones.

Furthermore, you can:

· Change the position of items by dragging and dropping them

· Change enabled/disabled status of items, modifying details, etc.

· Manage unit types, room types and property sort options

· Manage WPL Settings

· Manage your profile information. This data will be shown in the Frontend of the

website on pages such as Listing Details and the Agent page. If you fill in all of the fields, you

will have a better view on the frontend.

· Manage users by adding new WordPress users into WPL as agents. If needed you can add

some users from Users->Add New menu first and then add them to WPL. You can assign specific

access and limits for your agents by clicking on the edit icon too.

Remember to change the default currencies of WPL as needed. For example: If your currency is

C$ you should enable it from "Unit Manager" and disable other useless currencies.

Warning: Do not change any settings that you are not familiar with or certain of!

Add Listings

You can simply add your listings from WPL->Add Listing menu. Also, you can manage previously

added listings from WPL->Listing Manager menu.

WPL Backend

Dashboard

On this page, you can view the WPL change-log, as well as the related add-ons that can be

acquired separately for adding more features to your website.

You can also see shortcuts and update messages on this page. Only admins have access to this

menu and agents cannot see it.

Data Structure

By using this page you can manage some of the most important sections of WPL, such as Listing

Types, Property Types, and Units.

Property Types

You can add/edit/delete/enable/disable Property types from this page. To add a new listing

type, simply click on the + icon.

Listing Types

You can add/edit/delete/enable/disable Listing types from this page. To add a new listing type,

simply click on the + icon.

In order for your listings to show on Google Maps, you must assign a Google marker to each

listing type. You can also add new marker icons and delete them by using the Google icon block.

Note: You can also set Advanced Markers in the “Settings” section.

Unit Manager

Use this tab for managing WPL units. The default view is set to show currencies, but you can

select the unit type from the top of the page to manage the units. You should have some

enabled units in currency, length and area. You can also change the position of units.

Note: The top unit in each category will be the default unit in WPL.

It is mandatory to have at least one longer length unit such as "km" and "mi". The larger length

unit is needed in some cases, such as a radius search.

It is required that at least one unit should be enabled for each unit type.

Sort Options

You can enable/disable your desired sort options here. These Sort options will be shown on

each property listing, profile listing, carousel widget and also on the shortcode wizard. The sort

options are in a default order, but you have the option to change the position of them as well.

Room Types

This page is used for managing room types in WPL. You can add a new room type and manage

current room types. These room types will show on the property wizard page when adding a

property. You can specify a property's number of rooms and assign width and height for each

room. The data for each room will be shown on the property show page.

Note: For showing data for each room in the property show page, room activity must

be included in your theme.

Flex

The most interesting WPL feature is the Flex and its structure. The power of Flex allows you to

easily customize your property structure. You can add your desired fields based on your needs

and change the sorting of them. You can also make some fields mandatory or not.

For adding new fields into WPL, you can select the type of field you need and then click on the

Add button.

You should select the proper field type

and then add it to WPL.

The most frequently used field types are

"text", "select" and "number".

If you need a special field such as

"feature" or "appliances" be sure to

select the proper field type.

Note: The gear icon in WPL is developed

for customization purposes. By default, it

set, so do not put any data into it if you

do not need it.

Each field type has its own parameters and will present a different form after making the

selection.

For example, if you choose the "select" field type, you must specify multiple values for it. If you

choose the "date" field type, you must insert the date ranges into the Flex form. Please view

the figure below:

In general options, you should specify the category of each field and also the field name. The

text search option is for including the value of the field into the text search feature.

In a specific option, you can make the field specifiable or not. By default, it is not

specifiable. You can choose to make it listing-specific or property type-specific.

For example, Bedroom is a property type-specific field. It's specified to Apartment and Villa by

default because Offices do not have a bedroom field. Price type is a listing-specific field related

to For Rent and Vacation Rental listings.

You should assign values of the selected field in the parameters section and then click "Save"

button to save the field.

One option worth noting is: “If Zero.” This option lets you assign a function if a value is zero. For

example, on a “Land” listing, if the number of “bedrooms” is 0, you can choose to hide this

field.

Note: New fields will be shown in the "Search Widget" available fields and "Property Show"

page. They are not shown on the "Property Listing" page by default and you should customize

your theme if you want to add them into the property listing.

Locations

You can manage your locations and settings through this menu. By default, WPL has all the

countries and states of the United States (US).

If you would like to work in a country other than the United States, you will need to enable your

desired country first.

Note: When you enter a Location Level, you will have the opportunity to enter an

abbreviated version of the name to aid in the search. ie- United States will automatically add US

as an abbreviation. Los Angeles could be abbreviated to LA and so on.

After enabling a country, insert the secondary level locations, such as the states or provinces. To

do this, click on "Load Next Level" next to the country name and then click on the + icon next to

breadcrumb activity and insert all of the locations one by one.

If you click on the settings icon next to the page title, you can see "Location Settings". You can

insert your desired location names and select proper configurations based on your country’s

location system.

By filling in location keywords, you can easily change the label of the locations in the WPL. For

example, you can change the label of the secondary location level from "State" to "Territory" if

needed.

You can select the zip code

parent level by changing its

settings. If you do not need a

"County" location level, you can

simply remove its label and

insert "City" as location 3.

WPL can support 2 location

methods:

Location Database

By using this method, all location

levels will be shown as

drop-down menu boxes and

agents can only pick a location

from ones that exist in the

database. This means that you

need to enter all location levels,

including states, cities, counties,

etc., manually from the location

management menu in the

backend of WPL.

Location Text

By using this method, WPL

shows Country and State as

drop-down menu boxes in the

Property wizard or Profile wizard (wherever it is needed) and shows other location levels as text

input. By using this method you do not need to add any locations into the database and your

agents can insert the address of each property easily by typing it in. This is the default method

of the WPL system and it is highly recommended.

Settings

By using this menu you can manage all the WPL global settings in one place. Based on the

Add-ons you installed on your website or any customizations you might have, the setting

options can be more or less.

Note: If you wish to make your plugin compatible with Right to Left languages, you should

change the site language in WP Settings > General > Site Language. WPL will automatically

switch to the RtoL style.

The WPL Log manager provides a complete log of all events that happen in your WPL website,

such as: adding a new user, add/delete fields in flex, add/delete/update a property, etc. Please

find this article for getting started with the WPL logs manager menu.

Payments

WPL PRO uses an advanced payment system. You can use the payment system of WPL for

selling subscription memberships to users, sell bookings on vacation rental properties, etc.

Please find this article for getting started with WPL Payments.

User Manager

By default, WordPress users are not WPL users. This provides you better managerial supervision

for distinguishing between the agents and the basic users such as subscribers, authors, etc.

You can activate users in WPL simply by clicking on the "Plus" icon. For specifying user

access and limits you should click on the "Edit" icon, change the settings and save it.

By clicking on each username you can edit selected agent profiles directly without needing to

My Profile

Each agent has their own profile page and they can edit the information to be shown on the

"Agent Activities" or "Listing Details" page. Uploading a profile picture and company logo is

highly recommended so it is good to request that your agents upload their pictures.

Note: Do not forget to click on the finalize button after filling the profile page.

Add Listing

This menu is for adding/editing listings on your website.

Data Categories

As in the Flex menu, there are some categories for Flex fields available. You can browse them

with a simple click. Based on the Add-ons installed or the customizations you may have, there

will be more or fewer categories.

Some categories might be property type-specific or listing type-specific. It means they're only

available for certain property types or listing types.

Finalize

This is the last step of adding/editing a property. This step is mandatory otherwise the property

will not show on the frontend of the website. In this step, WPL will generate some systematic

data like text search, location text, property cache data, property alias, etc. After finalizing, WPL

will confirm the property if the agent has confirmation access.

Note: Finalizing is required for either adding and/or editing actions.

Mandatory Fields

Some fields are mandatory. This means that in order to finalize the property, these fields are

required and need to be filled in; otherwise, the property cannot be displayed.

Default Units

For some fields, it is mandatory to select a unit. WPL will select default units for each unit type

by default.

Note: You can change the default unit by changing the sort of units (example: the top unit is the

default) in WPL->Data Structure->Unit Manager.

Listing Type/Property Type-Specific Fields

As mentioned before, some fields are listing/property type-specific. For example, "Bedroom" is

a property type-specific field, so it will only appear as an option after selecting a property type

that is relative, such as an Apartment or Townhouse versus an Office or Land.

Important Items for Adding a Property

These items are important when you are adding a property:

- Listing Type

- Property Type

- Price (and Price Type if needed)

- Location

- Geo point on the map

- Property Description

- Rooms/Bedrooms and Bathrooms

- Property Gallery

To have a better interface on your property listing or property show page, it is highly

recommended that you include high-quality pictures for your property.

properties will not show on the property listings or the property show page.

Trash/Restore

feature is that you can easily restore the property whenever you want.

Purge

property’s data from the database and will also remove all property files and images from the

server.

WPL Widgets

Widgets are some tools that you can place them on a position of your theme that is called

Sidebar or Widget Area. You can manage your website widgets from WordPress

Backend->Appearance->Widgets or WordPress customizer interface.

WPL also has some widgets that you can use in your theme or WPL widget areas.

Search Widget

Using the Search Widget, your website's users can search on the listings and find their desired

home in less than one minute!

Go to Appearance->Widgets and include "WPL Search Widget" into one of your theme sidebars,

then open it and click on the "View Fields" button to see the below figure:

Drag fields from the bottom bar, drop them into the wide center section and then select the

options of each field. Some fields need extra options for generating sliders or min/max

selectbox+ field type, so remember to fill them in.

You can also browse other data categories from the top bar and add their fields into the

search widget. After adding your fields, close the lightbox and click on the Save button.

If your website has more than one layout, you can choose one of them through the layout

option of the widget.

Once completed, check your search widget from the frontend of the website.

Note: The interface of the search widget in the frontend is related to something like the width

and height of the sidebar, theme styles, and the fields you have selected.

If you use the WPL28 theme, the frontend of the search widget will be similar to this:

Carousel Widget

The carousel is a WordPress widget that is used to showcase properties in different layout

formats (we occasionally add new layouts! Be sure to check the WPL changelog after each

update to see if there is a new layout available). This widget is normally used on the homepage

of the site and can show either random or specific properties.

Go to Appearance->Widgets and include "WPL carousel widget" in one of your theme sidebars.

From here, you will be able to configure all the settings in regards to Title, Target Page, Layout,

CSS Styles, Dimensions, Slides (and slide options), Property Filters, Defining Similar Properties,

Sort and Limits.

Note: The interface of the Carousel Widget in the frontend is related to something like the

width and height of sidebar, theme styles, carousel layout and specifically to property galleries.

Note: If you would like to show only similar properties, select the option “yes” and then

configure the types of similar properties you’d like to show. From this menu, you can choose

things such as “agent,” which will include properties with the same agent, price, property type

and nearby. You can also choose to override listing types from these settings.

Note: If you would like to limit the loading times for your Carousel, enable the “Lazy Loading”

functionality that allows images to load only when they need to.

If you use multiple images layout on the WPL28 theme, the carousel interface will be similar to

the following:

complete guide for this widget. How to enable the WPL currency switcher?

Widget Shortcodes

All WPL widgets can work as a shortcode as well. It means you can put the widget shortcode in

any position of your website pages. Also, you can use the shortcode for placing it inside of page

builder plugins like Visual Composer, Beaver Builder, Divi builder, etc.

WPL Activities

Activities are small codes of WPL that can be placed on different WPL positions. For example,

gallery activity is responsible for showing property images and it can be placed on Property

Listing and Property Details pages. So if you want to disable gallery activity in property listing

views, you just need to disable its activity from WPL->Activity Manager menu.

Also, each activity has some options and you can configure those options to reach your desired

feel and functionality.

Google Maps

Google Maps is an activity for showing properties' markers on the map. You can see it on the

property listing, property details, complex listing and details (required Complex Add-on) and

also neighborhood details pages (required Neighborhoods Add-on).

You can find all instances of the Google Maps activities on WPL->Activity Manager by searching

for googlemap.

Note: Users may change the maximum daily usage for their Google Maps API in the Googlemap

activity. Use caution when changing this number, as it may cause charges on your Google Map

Platform account.

By default, there are two instances for this activity. One for the property listing page and

another one for the property details page. So you can simply disable the property listing

instance if you want to hide the Google Maps on search results pages or you can change its

position to show on the bottom of the page.

Also, there are many options for this activity and you can configure them based on your needs.

You may see even more options on Google Maps activity if you have APS add-on, Demographic

add-on, WPL PRO installed on your website.

1. To choose or edit your Google Markers, you have 2 options.

2. You can choose/upload a marker by navigating to Data Structure > Listing Types > Google

Icon

You can select from Advanced Markers by following Settings > Advanced Markers > Enable.

Here you can choose different markers as well as assign them colors. Remember to save.
