IMPress for IDX Broker Plugin Updates

Cleaner Post Headers

When you create a post for use in a wrapper, it takes on the identity of a post.

This includes the date and page title above the main body of the webpage.

By default, the IDX Broker plugin now eliminates this content to give you a cleaner page and help your visitors focus on results.

Wrapper Creation Shortcode

Creating dynamic wrappers is even easier.

We’ve made a shortcode for that. If you want to use a specific page as a wrapper template, simply drop the shortcode

[idx-wrapper-tags] into the content of that page.

The plugin will translate the standard div tags required for IDX to use this style as a wrapper.

Using a page is an alternative to using the automatic post from the plugin.

Minimum Price Field Added to Omnibar Widget

The omnibar search tool now has ‘Minimum Price’ included in the additional field options.

Your visitors will enjoy an improved search experience and can narrow results by setting a minimum price within an Omnibar search.

IMPress for IDX Dashboard WidgetwpDashstats

Possibly the most obvious addition to the plugin is a suite of tools that are now available on your WordPress home screen.

Once you’ve updated, you’ll notice the new analytic tools.

Use this information to measure your leads and popular listings.

Track these metrics on a daily or weekly basis to monitor your traffic and market your listing more efficiently.

Edit Post to Apply Wrapper

Using custom page and category wrappers is now easier than ever.

While editing the post simply select a page to apply this as a wrapper from the drop-down menu.
