I tried changing the quoted code to author => true but it didn’t help. Looked through the code but couldn’t figure out what was restricting access to administrators.

Thanks for the answer, what can I edit to allow also editors or authors to be able to login and view the site. I need to do training and testing under these roles before the site launches.

Thanks this worked. Not sure where I got the non-existent filter name.

The only problem I have with this after the change is that filter is used on both land and property. I was making the change with land in mind, but now when adding a house, the default unit for the size of the house is acres. Which is a mighty big house.

I solved it by removing the area entry from the add property page completely. I think that will be ok because agents here usually don’t want to quote sq. ft. of a building on the site anyway.

But would there be a way to change the default to sq. ft. for a particular post-type or to make that a hidden value in the form so that the box for the number could just be labeled “Total Sq. Ft.” and no selection for unit.

It’s different but tell me, what do you think about the plugin?

I’m liking the plugin and especially your help in understanding it.

Since I dove right in initially to figure out if it would fit the needs of this particular website I don’t know all it’s capabilities yet. It looks like you have it working with MLS RETS feeds. While I don’t need that for this project, I do work with Realtors (I was one myself for 15 years) and have sites that pull listings from large RETS databases. So if all goes well I’ll be investigating that next.

Thaks I’ll take my next questions to your support forum. I’ll mark this topic as resolved and give you a 5-star rating.

OK, I promise I’ll never mention property again. ??

The funny part is that the site I am working on has the domain name like
agentnameproperties.com

I will just point out (before I make good on the promise to never mention the word property again) that the difference in the way trulia.com and homes.com use the /property slug vs EPL is that the initial search results slug on trulia/homes is for-sale and that the /property slug is used for the detail view of all property types. /property/property-name/id where on EPL the /property slug is exclusively used by the homes (residential properties) property type and not by land, commercial etc.

That was the result of my initial confusion, property=homes was not what I was expecting.

That is all about that.

Property is searched more than the word “residential” when a buyer is looking for a property.

HaHa of course, because around here anyway, there word “property” can apply to anything owned. commercial property, hunting property, rural property, personal property, residential property etc. etc. It’s just too broad a term as used by Realtors here. But it’s your program, I was just commenting how it struck me, I’ll get used to it.

I’ll start using the support forum, I thought I had read that it was only for paid support. I’ll probably end up buying some extensions just wanted to make sure I would be using the plugin first.

Thanks, I did find those instructions after I posted, although I did search first. I think I kept running into instructions for older versions of EPL.

Now I’ve got the mini-plugin setup and most of the extra stuff removed, I ran into problems on a couple of things that appear to be required. Like I removed the option to choose whether to show prices because they would always be shown. I figured the default would be to show prices, but then the prices didn’t appear.

Some docs, or better notes or icons on the admin screen, on which fields are not safe to remove without other customization would be a nice time saver.

One more question about customizing the “add listing” admin page. In the “author” drop down the admins name (mine) first on the list, how to remove it? The agent that owns the site will probably be the only author. (which it took me a while to realize is WordPress/Australian for “Listing Agent”)

Evidently Australian and American real estate terms are more different than I realized. ?? The term property evidently is equivalent to residential or home and the term suburb means city?

I found the instructions for changing the slug of property to residential and got that working, but that doesn’t change the admin menu listing of listing types that can be added.

For this kind of thing should I use a .pot file to create an Australian to American translation? Or maybe there is already one available? I see you have French and Russian, why not American English? ??

I’ve tried a lot of different real estate plugins over the last several months and I’m liking EPL and your support and business model so far.

I’m fairly new to WordPress and this the first time I’ve tried using it for a Real Estate site so some of my questions my be naive. Sorry this got so long.
