After a long haul and major challenges we are ready to release Easy Property Listings 3.1

We have been hard at work on the next major release of Easy Property Listings and have tackled some major issues and structural CSS changes to ensure that your listings look great on your real estate website.

Major changes like this are great for new sites however can be challenges to existing website prompting fear to update. Don’t worry we always consider backward compatibility to ensure that you can upgrade to the latest release. We did this by adding an additional setting to enable Legacy Styles from Easy Property Listings settings.

Note: When updating from 3.0.4 will enable Legacy Styles by default.
