I really like how simple this plugin looks for adding properties. However, I may have the ONE THEME that it is not compatible. I am on a deadline and a day has been lost already. Did not want to just jump ship already.

Please look and tell me what is up. I tried the whole copy folders single-php and change to single-listing.php and same with archive – except had to use index for my theme – nothing worked.

PLEASE ADVISE

Site I am working on is: http://31e.cac.myftpupload.com/ (Theme is GT#themes Oyster)

I sadly think I may have found a theme that is absolutely NOT COMPATIBLE with your great plugin! I would really love to get this to work, but am not feeling to promising right now.

I have a group of Realtors around New England who want an out-side-the-box website, but will allow for the real-estate functionality. Thought your plugin was answer. Willing to buy whatever customization or assistance I can get!

I do not even have a place that will allow me to upload images!

My issued – how do I get the images to appear? How do I get the listing to align with the page and not look like it is extending beyond it.

HELP!!!!!

Here is the site I am working on: http://31e.cac.myftpupload.com/

You are just missing a CSS wrapper in the archive-listing.php and single-listing.php

What you should do is duplicate the archive.php and single.php from within your theme. If you just do that the display should look similar to your blog: http://31e.cac.myftpupload.com/blog-with-right-sidebar/

Then replace the content area of the post with the action hooks. Just add them and save. Then remove the excess code from your template files.

Great looking website, when you are done submit it to the showcase.

I tried the duplication of the files and that did not work. I copied and renamed as you said. Then I tried to replace the code per the instruction. I am missing something. You mention CSS wrapper . . . is this what you are meaning and where would I place it? I am willing to pay for coding help I may get to make this work

<body>
<div id=”wrapper”>
Piece of text inside a 500px width div centered on the page
</div>
</body>

I do love the site I am developing and hate to walk away from it and go in another direction because I cannot make it work. I am also hoping you have an add-on (again, I will purchase) that will allow a calendar feature so people looking to rent can select the rental dates.

I got it to work SOMEWHAT.

Some issues:

The Menu Font is much smaller now then I would prefer. Trying to fix but keeps defaulting to this smaller font.

The listings wont show the photos like your video demo. ALSO – the listing is there TWICE – the old/bad way – the slightly better/new way populates beneath.

Please advise.

Also – can I add a calendar for the rental properties so people know when they are available?

RE: SEARCH function to show price range on listing

$150,000 – $200,000
$200,000 – $250,000
$250,000 – $300,000
$300,000 – $350,000
$350,000 – $400,000
$400,000 – $450,000
$450,000 – $500,000
$500,000 +

to adjust the search pricing you can use a filter in your theme functions.php like this.
```
<?php 
function my_epl_custom_search() {

	$search = array(
		150000	=> "$150,000 – $200,000",
		200000	=> "$200,000 – $250,000",
		250000	=> "$250,000 – $300,000",
		300000	=> "$300,000 – $350,000",
		350000	=> "$350,000 – $400,000",
		400000	=> "$400,000 – $450,000",
		450000	=> "$450,000 – $500,000",
		500000	=> "$500,000 +"
	);
	return $search;
}
add_filter( 'epl_listing_search_price_sale' , 'my_epl_custom_search' );
?>
```

The GT3 theme builder has not added image support correctly the the custom post types. Pop a question to them in the support forum.

Q: Where have you added the custom post types in the GT3 theme?

Q: Why does the gT3 theme disable the featured image ability of other plugins?

I can dig into the theme via FTP

This is the issue in the theme:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');

should be

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array('post', 'page','testimonial'));

the way WordPRess works is if they use the top way it removes the support from everything else. The theme is not coded correctly.

You can over-write the code. Withought FTP I can’t direct you where the missing code is
