WordPress plugin that adds a custom post type and taxonomy for real estate listings.
This plugin registers a simple custom post type for real estate listings. It also registers a separate listing taxonomy. The plugin supports a featured image, general description, MLS link, location, and price. It does not support detailed input such as square footage, number of bedrooms, etc. If you need that, use AgentPress Listings instead.
If your site is running a Genesis Framework child theme, this plugin includes a template for the archive, taxonomy, and single listing page. If you're not running the Genesis Framework, you can create your own templates for these in your theme. You can also override these with your own templates/styles in your theme.
Note: although this plugin was written with the Genesis Framework by StudioPress in mind, it is not an official plugin for this framework and is neither endorsed nor supported by StudioPress.
Demo: http://robin.works/listings/
- WordPress 3.8, tested up to 4.9
- Genesis Framework (templates and widget will not work with other themes, although post type and metaboxes will work with any theme)
- Download the latest tagged archive (choose the "zip" option).
- Go to the Plugins -> Add New screen and click the Upload tab.
- Upload the zipped archive directly.
- Go to the Plugins screen and click Activate.
- Download the latest tagged archive (choose the "zip" option).
- Unzip the archive.
- Copy the folder to your
/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Go to the Plugins screen and click Activate.
Check out the Codex for more information about installing plugins manually.
Using git, browse to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and clone this repository:
git clone git@github.com:robincornett/simple-listings-genesis.git
Then go to your Plugins screen and click Activate.
If you're using a Genesis Framework theme, it's done. If you're not, use the included templates as a reference and have fun.
The AgentPress Listings plugin has a lot more features and functionality than I needed for a couple of projects, so I thought I'd make a simple version which would allow my client to post their own listings on their own site, but optionally link to the outside MLS service listing. They can feature their own listings without having to re-enter all of the data.
Simple Listings for Genesis works much like creating any other post or page in WordPress. One important thing is that when you are creating a listing, you must set a featured image. If you don't, there is a fallback image, but I'm pretty sure you would rather use your own. Everything else is more or less optional--whether you want to use a description, an outside MLS link, transaction amount, or location.
