• These products are interesting but there is discussion on a few different forums about the compatibility between the plugin and themes not made by the same developer. I don’t want to get stuck in a situation where I purchase the premium version of this plugin and have to use one of only two themes that are sold by the developer.

    I have read generic responses from the developer about this, they simply say that the plugin may not be compatible with all themes. What they do not say is whether the plugin utilizes wordpress theme industry standards or not.

    Is this a gimmick to buy premium themes or is the plugin designed to be theme agnostic?

    Hello,

    Plugin does not have premium versions. However it has different premium Add-ons ( plugins ) which extend the functionality. So you could easy download it and check if you could achieve your needs with it.

    You can use almost all WordPress themes. But to achieve your needs, you probably will need to modify CSS styles.

    Also, you are able to modify WP-Property templates by copying default templates to your theme’s root directory.

    You can find default templates in the following directory:
    wp-property/static/views

    For example, to modify single property page’s template, you should
    copy wp-property/static/views/property.php to your theme’s root directory and do any changes there.

    Regards.

    Sorry, i meant premium addons. I am interested in purchasing almost all the addons, i am just hesitant because of the themes. Im not very good at modifying them, i like to just pick free ones and customize it.

    Could you explain how to customize the property page? I want to remove the dotted lines and coloured table rows. Also, i want to change the width.

    Hello,

    Premium Add-ons also can be used in almost all WordPress themes. But, as I already mentioned, to achieve your needs, you probably will need to modify CSS styles.

    Also, be aware, if you find that a purchased product ( Add-on ) does not meet your needs, simply let us know within 7 days of purchase. More details you can find here.

    Could you explain how to customize the property page? I want to remove the dotted lines and coloured table rows. Also, i want to change the width.

    You could remove the dotted lines and coloured tables rows just via custom CSS styles.

    Here is example:

    <style>
    /* Remove dotted lines */
    ul#property_stats.list li,
    ul.wpp_property_stats.list li,
    #property_stats.overview_stats,
    .wpp_property_stats.overview_stats {
      border: none !important;
    }
    /* Remove coloured table rows */
    ul#property_stats.list li.alt,
    ul.wpp_property_stats.list li.alt {
     background-color: transparent !important;
    }
    </style>

    I dont think 7 days is enough time so I will have to experiement with the suggestions you gave me before making any purchases.

    Do you have a backend demo of Madison theme? I would like to test the customizer.

    Unfortunately, we do not have backend demo of Madison theme.

    Ok, thank you. I applied the css code you gave me and that worked. But what do I do with the property.php page that I copied to my theme folder? How do I change the width of the content on the property pages?

    Hello,

    Please, note, we are not supporting any customisation of WP-Property plugin here.
    I just provided example for you how you could modify your view above.

    Your question belongs to custom solution and it is related to modifying CSS styles and HTML of template. You can find a lot of CSS/HTML tutorials which describe how to modify CSS styles ( including width of DOM element ).

    Regards.

    This is precisely why I started the topic.

    not supporting any customisation

    I do not want to customize the plugin at all. The base plugin, wp-property, does not work with most themes. I cannot get it to display properly except with the twenty-fifteen theme. If it is so complex that it needs customizing right away then how can you expect me to buy the add ons? I am looking for a total package that does not require so much custom coding as you suggest. I am willing to pay for it but I need to see it in action first. Right now it does not work well at all, see for yourself:

    You told me to copy the property.php file to my themes folder and I did what you said but then what?

    There are a lot of reasons why you have broken property view: it can be specific styles in your theme or, even, in other plugins, which are breaking the view.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to have absolute compatibility with all plugins and themes which users can use on their sites. No one plugin can achieve it.

    The only way ( to use view from box ) is to use already existing real estate theme, which allow to customise your view without CSS/HTML or even PHP knowledge. I’m not advertising our premium themes now. There are different solutions on market.

    WP-Property plugin is a powerful solution for building real estate sites. It gives your the most functionality from the box and has a lot of Add-ons to extend your site. But, it’s only plugin with set of available templates. It’s not a theme.

    Regarding your broken content view.

    Something ( your theme or another plugin ) cuts left side of content. I did not investigate it deeply. But the following CSS solution could do the trick:

    <style>
    #content {
        position: relative;
        z-index: 999;
    }
    </style>

    Also, you have javascript error on that Property page:
    https://screencast.com/t/qeymVH6Pn

    I guess, the error is occurred because of conflict of two real estate plugins ( I saw you have another activated real estate plugin on your site ). See: https://screencast.com/t/HR1PMihY

    Its very convenient to blame the rest of the world for your problems but your statements are baseless and its very unfortunate that you are combative rather than cooperative.

    I am testing several real estate plugins at the moment as you have concluded with your investigation. However, yours is the only one that does not get along with all the other plugins.

    Here is how Easy Realty plugin outputs the same information with no coding required:

    https://squarefeet.ca/commercial/867-lansdowne-st-w-peterborough-on-unit-4/

    It doesn’t seem to care how many google map apis there are, it fits within the content area of my theme just like any other content would. It is also working even though I have wp-property installed too.

    My conclusion is that my original doubts were correct, WP-Property does not work well with non developer themes, you have provided no evidence of that. Also, it would be a mistake to invest money in your products because of the combative nature of your support. Its unfortunate but I’m glad I had this conversation before making a purchase.

    I’ve re-read the whole topic here and all I’ve seen is the author patiently attempt to help you. If you don’t want to use this plugin then I am sure that’s fine but please try and keep it civil in these forums.

    I am. He is suggesting I broke something. What exactly did I break? Why is it is my problem his plugin does not work? I originally asked if the plugin was compatible with most themes and there was no real answer. If he could provide a simple YES or NO then this would not have gone on so long. There is nothing uncivil about anything I said and I don’t appreciate the patronizing. Im am serious about finding a working solution and it would have been nice if me, the potential customer, did not get blamed for the errors that seem to be coming from this plugin. These forums are for support, thats what I’m doing, looking for support for this plugin.

    I think it may be a language barrier. Does your interpretation of the sentence change when you read it as this:

    There are a lot of reasons why you have a broken property view:

    Not really. He followed that with:

    specific styles in your theme or, even, in other plugins, which are breaking the view.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to have absolute compatibility with all plugins and themes which users can use on their sites. No one plugin can achieve it.

    He cited my theme and other unnamed plugins as the source of “breaking the view”. But its not true. The view breaks because of the styling in his plugin alone.
