WordPress Post Data
Post Title
Property names are written into the post title when the property posts are created. Since WordPress requires every post to have a title, the automatic sync will never change it. However, this does mean that post titles can be changed on the website at any time.
This is great for situations where your property may have a name in the feed that’s based on accounting purposes but you want your property to have a different name for marketing reasons.
Post URL
Post URLs are written into the Permalink when the property posts are created. Since WordPress requires every post to have a permalink, that can’t be changed or removed by the automatic sync. However, this does mean that they can be edited at any time.
If you do choose to change the post’s Permalink on a live site, make sure you have redirects in place so that visitors and search engines don’t get lost.
Amenities
Amenities can be entered in the Amenities taxonomy selector and, when enabled, they will show up in the “Amenities & Features” section on the property and single floor plan pages. The property will also display on each corresponding Amenity pages.
If your synced property’s import source supports amenities, you do not need to manage this here.
Features
Property features can be entered in the Features taxonomy selector and, when enabled, they will show up in the “Amenities & Features” section on the property and single floor plan pages. The property will also display on each corresponding Feature pages.
Cities
If your property is connected to sync, the city will be determined automatically from its address and you do not need to manage this.
Pet Policy
Use the Pet Policy taxonomy selector to note if the property is Cat Friendly and/or Dog Friendly by clicking the corresponding checkboxes. The property listing will show if the property is pet friendly, and the search page will support showing Cat / Dog friendly apartments. Additional pet policies are allowed, but are not supported with RentPress’ built-in templates. The property will also display on each corresponding Pet pages.
Property Types
Property Types allows you to highlight what makes this property special. You can use this for any type you wish. Examples include “Student Housing,” “Senior Living,” or even “New Construction,” but you are free to add any type that makes sense for your portfolio like “Furnished” or “City View” or any community type you desire.
To mark a property as being a certain type, simply click the checkbox next to the type you want to assign to the property.
To add a new Property Type, click the + Add New Property Type button. A text field will appear for you to type in your community type. Then hit the Return key on your keyboard or click “Add New Property Type” below. Your new type will be automatically assigned to the property you are editing. Your Property Type will now be available to select on all other properties.
You can now uses these via the property_type parameter while building shortcodes.
