Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import listings from my MLS?

Yes. With an IDX Broker subscription and adding their IMPress for IDX Broker plugin to your site, IMPress Listings can import featured properties from the MLS.
 

I have an IDX Broker account but why are my listings not automatically coming though?

In order to display your own listings, you first need to install the IMPress for IDX Broker plugin and link the API key. Click here for instructions on how to install the plugin. From there, you should see your featured listings coming through under Listings -> Import IDX Listings. If you are still seeing issues, check to make sure that you have the Featured ID set in your IDX Broker account.
 

How do I change the sort order of the IMPress Listings - Featured Listings widget?

This can be done by using a plugin that allows you to rearrange posts, such as Post Types Order.

I already use the AgentPress Listings plugin, can I use this plugin?

Yes. This plugin can be used instead of the AgentPress Listings plugin. It uses the same post type name and custom field names (along with several new fields), so the posts you’ve added using AgentPress, along with the associated meta data, will remain attached to the listing post. Just be sure to deactivate AgentPress before activating IMPress Listings.
 

My theme already has a single listing template. How do I use the one provided with the plugin?

Some themes may already have a single-listing.php (and archive.php for listing archives) to display listings with the same post type name of ‘listings’. Templates placed within your theme folder have precedence. To use the template(s) provided with the plugin, delete the single-listing.php and/or the archive-listing.php templates within your theme’s folder (recommended to make a backup).
 

How can I create a custom single listing template?

Name your template file single-listing-CUSTOM-NAME.php (replace CUSTOM NAME with your own descriptive name). You can use the single-listing.php within the plugins /includes/views/ folder for a guide on how to display the post type data. You’ll need to include the following block of text at the top of your custom template:
/*
Single Listing Template: Test Template
Description: Give it a description to help identify
*/
 

How can I remove the default property status terms or property type terms?

Its possible to remove the default property status terms by using a filter in your theme or custom plugins.

Here is an example for the status terms:

/* Remove Default Status Terms from IMPress Listings */
add_filter( 'wp_listings_default_status_terms', 'custom_default_status_terms' );
function custom_default_status_terms() {
  $status_terms = array();
  return $status_terms;
}

Here is an example for the property terms:

/* Remove Default Property Terms from IMPress Listings */
add_filter( 'wp_listings_default_property_type_terms', 'custom_default_property_type_terms' );
function custom_default_property_type_terms() {
  $property_type_terms = array();
  return $property_type_terms;
}
