placester plugin, how to design detail pages

@ballyhoo, which theme are you using, do you by chance have a screenshot of the page? I just want to be sure what you have set up at this point.

Hi,

This is the site. It is in ‘coming soon mode’. If you mail me an email-address I can send you the login info.

Hi ballyhoo,

I’m guessing that you’re not using one of our themes, but are using shortcodes to make your search pages and listing pages. (If you do want to try out our themes, visit Placester > Theme Gallery on your wp-admin page. The theme downloads available there are more up-to-date than those at www.ads-software.com.)

The default listing detail output of the plugin is very basic. But you can change it at wp-admin > Placester > Shortcodes > Listing Details Templates. “None” is selected by default. If you select “Columbus” you’ll see a more stylish format on your detail pages. You can also create your own template to select (from scratch, or by copying and modifying Columbus) and edit both the HTML markup and the CSS styling as you wish.

The listing detail pages use the theme template single.php. Or, if it exists, they will use single-property.php instead. You can edit that template file to control the header, footer, and sidebar(s) in the usual way of WordPress.

Good day,
I installed the plugin and now I cannot access the site anymore and gives the below error

Warning: require_once(PLS_FUNCTIONS_DIR/util.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/marock/public_html/wp-content/plugins/placester/blueprint/blueprint.php on line 398

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘PLS_FUNCTIONS_DIR/util.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/marock/public_html/wp-content/plugins/placester/blueprint/blueprint.php on line 398

Please how do I resolve this?

Thank you

Hi eoriaifo,

This kind of error results from a failure of our plugin to initialize properly. It’s almost always caused by a conflict with some other active plugin, which takes over the same WP action handlers that we use.

We’ve seen it most often occur in the past with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Which version of our plugin did you install? Our latest version 1.3.0 should be able to work with ACF, so please try that if you haven’t already.

If you still have a conflict with 1.3.0, you can try starting out with all your other plugins disabled before enabling the Placester plugin. (And to be thorough, using one of the basic WordPress themes, say twentyfourteen.) Then enable each plugin one by one (and finally your theme) to find which component is in conflict.
