Hey Darrel, so i want to Make a Portuguese real estate website, so 2 questions, i want to translate the website because its in english so i have to change everyting or i can install a plugin that can translate the website, and the second question when the people go the site i want them to see the portuguese site and then if they want change to the english translation, is that a option to change the language when they go on the website?

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! You can use a plugin like GTranslate or TranslatePress to translate your real estate website without manually changing everything. For the second question, yes! You can set Portuguese as the default language and let users switch to English with a language switcher on the site.

Great video! So, with regard to Google Maps, you have various mapping choices disable or enable (2:52:52), then you only go to Maps JavaScript API and I can't tell if you want us to disable or enable it from what you state, you state it is enabled, then your going to disable, then enable. What do we do with all the other maps choices in this same area? Two other issues: when I try to change the location on the search bar to geo location then go check it live on the website, I type two letters of a city and it shows an error. Last, when I go to property details to add the map, it states there is a Java error, so the map will not show on the listings, but the button to "see on Google Maps" works when I click on that.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! For Google Maps, make sure Maps JavaScript API is enabled, along with Geocoding API and Places API, as they’re essential for location searches and displaying maps. For the geolocation issue, ensure your API key has billing enabled and correct restrictions set. The Java error might be due to a theme or plugin conflict-try clearing your cache or disabling other plugins to troubleshoot. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Thank you so much for a wonderful teaching video. Highly appreciated. I have a question too, if you may kindly answer. When I create and publish an agency as admin, it shows in the agencies instantly. But if i make an agency as a user defined as agency, it doesn't show in agencies. Can you please tell me how to go about resolving this.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! This issue might be due to the agency submission requiring admin approval. Check the Houzez theme settings under “Membership” or “User Role Settings” to see if user-submitted agencies need manual approval. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Darrell, this video is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for the hard work put into it. I have a question, when I hit "edit with Elementor" it is not loading. I have tried it on Chrome and Safari and even tried to enable "safe mode" and I can't seem to figure out what's going on. Any idea what might be happening?

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! Thanks for the kind words; I’m glad you enjoyed the video! If Elementor isn’t loading, it could be due to a memory limit issue or plugin conflict. First, check your WordPress memory limit-try increasing it to 256M in the wp-config.php file. Also, deactivate other plugins to see if there’s a conflict and clear your browser cache. If none of that works, try switching to a default theme temporarily to see if the issue persists. Let me know how it goes, and feel free to drop your questions in the comments below!

[@allthingsprop]

And it would mean whenever they post a listing, I would approve it then send out

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! To set up packages where agents can choose to buy 5, 10, or 20 listings in the Houzez theme, you'll want to use the theme's built-in membership and packages feature. Go to Houzez Options > Membership and create custom packages, specifying the number of listings each package includes. Then, assign these packages to agents. This way, agents can purchase the package that best suits their needs. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Darrel thank you for this update on the theme. Is there a way to customize the CRM part of Houzez? I would like to clear up the crowded forms.

[@darrelwilson]

Yes, in Houzez, you can customize the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) section by adapting the forms to make them less cumbersome. To do this, you can modify the fields displayed in the forms, reorganize their layout, or even create customized forms tailored to your needs. In addition, you can use options in the theme settings or via custom CSS style sheets to further refine the appearance and functionality of the CRM interface.

What does it mean when photography services offer a "Free listing website" on their packages, ive always wonder exactly how to do this or how to offer this in my media photo business.

Hey! A "Free listing website" usually means that the photography service provides a free or included website where you can list and showcase your services. To offer this in your media photo business, you could create a simple listing site using themes or plugins designed for directories or portfolios, and offer it as part of your service packages.

Hey! For a debt collection services website, you could use a professional and clean theme like Consulting or Exponent-both offer finance-focused designs.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! To link agents with user roles so they can upload content, first make sure you've created a user account for each agent. Then, assign the "Agent" role to each user under Users > All Users by editing their profile. Next, go to the agent page you created and ensure it’s linked to the correct user by selecting them under the “Author” or “Agent” field (depending on your theme or plugin). This will connect the agent's profile to their user account, allowing them to manage their properties directly. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Alternatively, use a plugin like Loco Translate to translate specific text strings throughout the theme. This will let you easily customize any English labels to German.

These plugins allow you to translate your site’s content, including theme strings, into different languages. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments.

Check the "Agents" section in the Houzez theme options or page builder to manually adjust the order. If there’s no option, you might need to use custom code or a plugin that allows for sorting posts or custom post types. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Then, go to your WordPress dashboard, check the media library, and make sure the correct images are attached to the listings. If the problem persists, try regenerating thumbnails using a plugin like "Regenerate Thumbnails." Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! To make custom property cards or edit existing ones in the Houzez theme using the free version of Elementor, you can use Elementor's "Template" feature. Create a new template for your property card, then use Elementor widgets to design it as you like. Finally, apply this template to your property listings.

[@motwer]

Hi Darrel, thank you very much. I want to know the difference between licenses for houzez theme.

To access it, log in to the platform where you purchased the theme (like ThemeForest), and you'll find a support option under your downloads. As for the documentation video, it's usually provided by the theme developers and can be accessed either through their official website or within the theme package you downloaded.

[@astrixx7652]

Hey Darrel I understand what you saying for link user to agent , But does this Require the author SEO which is another yearly subscription to do this ?

If you’re having trouble, make sure you’ve configured the agent role correctly and check the theme documentation for specific instructions. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

I would like to ask if it is possible to have different dashboard features/layout design to each user type (admin, agent, agency & subscriber)?

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! Absolutely, with the Houzez theme, you can customize dashboard features and layouts for different user types like admin, agent, agency, and subscriber. You can achieve this by using user role management plugins such as User Role Editor or Members to define and control permissions for each role. Additionally, Houzez supports conditional content display, allowing you to show or hide specific dashboard elements based on the user's role. For more advanced customizations, you might consider adding custom code or using page builders compatible with Houzez to design unique layouts for each user type. This way, each group gets a tailored dashboard experience that fits their needs perfectly. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! If your search numbers aren't showing up correctly when you set specific amounts in the search options for Houzez, it might be due to misconfigured search parameters or an issue with the theme's settings. First, double-check that your search fields are set up properly in the "Search Builder" and that they match the data in your property listings. Also, ensure that your currency and number formats are consistent across the site. If the problem persists, try clearing your site cache or updating the theme to the latest version.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! For the "Create a Listing" button in the Houzez theme, you typically need to link it to a submission page where users can add property details. If the theme doesn't automatically generate a custom link, you might need to create a new page in WordPress specifically for property submissions and then link the button to that page. You can use a plugin like WP User Frontend to handle the submissions, allowing users to input their property details directly from the frontend. Once submitted, you can set up an approval process before the listings go live. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

However, if you're only using specific features, configuring just the relevant API might be sufficient. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

In one house, they have 3 or 4 or even more prices and is there any option to customise the listing to be able to show the prices all in one listing? Thank you so much :)

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! Great question! To add multiple prices in one listing with the Houzez theme, you can customize the property details by using the "Property Features" or "Custom Fields" options. Create custom fields for each room type (e.g., 2-bed, 3-bed, etc.) and input the respective prices. This way, all prices can be displayed within a single listing. You might also consider using the "Multi-units / Sub-properties" feature if available, which can list different pricing options within the same property.

You can start with free versions of many tools and upgrade as needed. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below!

[@sinopsis.express]

Hi again Darrel, sorry to bother you with another question, but do you know why changes of the section Property Detail do not apply when i do them in the Theme Options? Not style, layout manager etc. working Thanks in advance!

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! No problem at all. If changes to the Property Detail section in the Theme Options aren't applying, try these steps: 1. Clear your website and browser cache. 2. Ensure you save the changes properly after making adjustments. 3. Check for any plugin conflicts by temporarily deactivating other plugins. 4. Verify that you’re customizing the correct template or page. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Houzez support for further assistance.

how can I add an availability calendar and link it to my airbnb calendar I had a widget on my previous website but this theme seems kind of restrictive and im not being able to add it

Hey Darrel, thanks for the video it has been really helpful. Quick question, when i login as a user i created as an agent or even as my admin user, I do not have the Create A Listing option. I only get Board, Insight, Properties, Saved Searches, My Profile and Log Out. Any idea why that is? Thanks again.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! Thanks for the feedback on the video. For the issue with the "Create A Listing" option not appearing, it's likely a permissions or settings issue within the Houzez theme. Make sure that the user roles have the correct permissions to create listings. You might need to check the Houzez theme options or user role settings to ensure agents and admins are granted the ability to add listings. If that doesn't resolve it, double-check if there are any additional settings or plugins that might be interfering with the listing creation feature. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Well at least that mystery is solved. Anyways, I found something else interesting that I wanted to ask you. When you create a listing at the 1:42:27 mark, you enter 3000 sqft. However, on the property details page (mark 1:53:22 and 1:54:05) the icon shows as Sq Meters. I am having the same issue, it's a bit misleading. Do you know if there's a way around that?

Is it possible to display the property on a specific page, for example, for sale on the For Sale page?

[@darrelwilson]

hey Yes, you can display properties on specific pages based on their categories or statuses. To display properties for sale on the For Sale page, you can use shortcodes or widgets built into the theme that allow you to filter and display properties based on different criteria. You can customize the display settings in the template's admin panel to achieve this. If you need more detailed instructions, you can get further assistance through Houzez's documentation or support team.

Darrel thank you so much! Great video. I'm having problems with theme options specifically when i have demo 35 imported. Theme options seem to work correctly before the import and then fail to make any changes after I have demo 35 imported. Everything is up to date. I'm wondering if you can replicate this issue because at this point I don't know if I've done something wrong or it's just a bug with demo 35.

I just tried with demo 5 as well. It also doesn't work. I'm just trying to change the header as a test and it doesn't but like I said it works before I import a demo so somethiing changes after the fact. If you have an ideas please let me know.

[@matthewnemetchek1990]

Nevermind! The first time I simply imported demo 5 after having imported demo 35. The error persisted. But if I do WP reset like you showed in the video and import demo 5 by itself it works just fine. So there is something wrong with demo 35.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! To set up a listing button for property submissions in the Houzez theme, create a "Submit Property" page using the "Submit Property" template, then add this page to your menu via Appearance > Menus. Ensure in Houzez Options under Membership > Membership Plans that "Free Submission" is enabled, and set Listings > Listings Submission to "Pending Review." Adjust user roles if necessary. This will let users submit properties for your approval.

Hey darrel does wordpress take some time to make full on changes since ive uploaded properties , and they are not showing when i load them on the phone as the initial image shows but when i actually enter the property i have to physically clikc on the blank photo to view the property , what is this issue from or do i just have to wait until word press resolves this maybe 24 to 48 hours ?

[@darrelwilson]

This issue is likely caused by caching. WordPress itself doesn't take time to apply changes, but caching plugins or browser cache might delay updates. Clear your website's cache (through any caching plugin you're using) and also clear the browser cache on your phone. If you're using a CDN, clear that cache as well. You shouldn’t need to wait 24-48 hours for changes to show.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! To get users to submit properties via the frontend using WP User Frontend, start by installing and activating the plugin. Next, create a form by going to WP User Frontend > Post Forms > Add New and customize the form fields to match the property details you need. Then, embed this form on a page using the shortcode provided. To set up the approval process, go to Settings > General in WP User Frontend and enable the "Post Status" to be set as "Pending Review."

[@darrelwilson]

In Houzez, you can add another tab to the search bar on the home page by modifying the theme's code. You'll need to access the theme files, locate the section responsible for the search bar, and add the additional tab manually. This typically involves editing PHP and/or JavaScript files within the theme. If you're not comfortable with coding, you may want to consult with a developer or the theme's support team for assistance with this customization.

Is the houzez theme compatible with DIVI (plugin version) or is there an alternative what works with DIVI.

[@darrelwilson]

The Houzez theme is not directly compatible with the DIVI plugin version. However, you can achieve integration by using DIVI Builder alongside Houzez, but it might require some customization. Alternatively, you can explore other real estate themes that are explicitly designed to work seamlessly with DIVI, such as DiviEstate or Divi RealEstate. These options offer smoother integration and better compatibility with the DIVI plugin. Always ensure to check compatibility and test thoroughly before implementing any theme/plugin combination.
