Thanks to pstatus and chaty1 for the nice comments on my real estate themes. Much, much appreciated.

Bryan, you should create your own post about your themes instead of injecting them in mine or others. This is the second time you’ve done this in my threads.

By the way, to all, I did end up changing the web address to: https://www.WPforRealEstate.com due to trademark restrictions.

Actually, the site you’re looking at (https://www.NWColorado.com) isn’t using the great real estate plugin…it’s something I created using custom fields, other plugins, some custom php, etc.

However, now I’m using the great real estate plugin on forthcoming sites, but I’m open to other real estate plugins such as yours and others, granted they’re really solid.

Once you’re done with your plugin, feel free to tell me about it and I’ll gladly cover it on the WordPress for Real Estate site, assuming you’re okay with that. That’s the objective of the site, to showcase and discuss WordPress real estate plugins and ideally sell real estate themes.

Regarding the dark green, yeah, I agree, but the client wanted it that way. To each their own I guess. Here’s the original version before I changed the colors:

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey, it’s me again, the original poster JHouse…

I ended up making a site dedicated to using WordPress for Real Estate, with current and future links to real estate related plugins, articles, hacks, and such. Here’s the web address: https://www.WPforRealEstate.com

Peace.

Yeah bro brah, your site’s ultra sick too: https://www.village-idiot.org/

Wasn’t aware of the trademark issues. Will have to make changes.

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Awesome plugin! I’m gonna really check it out, thanks.

To wordpress_guy, please stop promoting your stuff in other people’s threads, that’s not cool. This thread was about RogerTheriault plugin, not the people you have partnered with. Thank you.

That’s what I do, too. I’d definitely be willing to partner on some projects as well. I think I’ve made it really simple for Realtors to add and edit properties, plus I’ve made it really search engine friendly. It’s a turnkey system/web site (design and programming is already done) that a real estate agent could use immediately (well, after I changed the logo, header photos, text, and other minor stuff).

Here’s one of my latest real estate designs for WordPress:

https://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/WPRE/D2/D2_Interface.html (it’s still in progress, I plan on making the butterfly’s wings move, as well change colors, and the flower part will grow as the site loads).

Take care.

Another valid suggestion, thanks dpeeples19. My client actually brought this up before too, and while I kinda disagreed with them, after hearing it from another party, it’s been ratified.

What we’re thinking about doing is reducing the header substantially in the subsequent pages, but not the homepage. I plan on adding different montages to some of the headers, per category, so I don’t want to ditch the header all together.

Thanks again for the quality input.

Regarding your site, it looks pretty cool. The content is nice and apparently plentiful, the design could just use some color. I suppose you’re kinda going with the newspaper look, but don’t forget newspapers generally have some very eye-catching photos to set it off. That said, some pictures will add life and color to your site, the more welcoming the better.

Have a good one!

Thanks for the nice comments, much appreciated.

Regarding the “vertically challenged menu,” I have to laugh and agree. I was thinking about making them rollover to the left, instead of right. Do you think that would simply things/make it better?

Thanks.

By chance, are you guys experiencing these problems using Internet Explorer? If so, you may want to try Firefox and see if it works. It does for me, just not IE.

Peace.

I wonder if this can be solved by upgrading to 2.6. A huge concern though is if other plugins and what not will break, which seems to be pretty likely based on what I’ve read from others.

Okay, this seems to be an issue with Firefox 3. The upload works fine with Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7.

If anybody knows why it doesn’t work with FF3, please let me know.

Thanks.

Awesome man, thanks.

Yeah, I just tried to PM you, but done found out there isn’t a PM system here. Doh. Anyways, I just created a Google Talk account under the username JHizouse and subsequently contacted you.

Peace.

Thanks for the very detailed response, much much appreciated.

“If your client has Windows XP, the built-in “Send To –> Compressed Folder” uses Deflate and will work nicely.”

Yes, this is what they are using, as well as myself. I’m pretty sure it’s not an issue with the zip file as I’m able to take their zip files full of images and subsequently upload ’em no problem on my pc, running XP, too.

If I PM’ed you the login details, would you mind trying to upload a zip file? It’d be interesting to see if it works elsewhere, as opposed to just my machine. If you don’t want to bother, I totally understand.

Thanks again for the thorough help.

This is the error they receive while trying to upload a zip file:

Uploaded file was no or a faulty zip file ! The server recognize :
application/octet-stream
