1. You can integrate ALL info, which completely overwrites any SEO efforts on a listing
2. All images will come in with the same title. Any local changes will be overwritten
3. “De-Unselecting” option to overwrite all results in ALL properties changing to SOLD status.
Integration should be based on property ID information with the option to select which information is updated upon synchronization.
Unless you are listing and turning many properties a week, this entire process is probably best to do manually
]]>I’m almost done my site. It started out as a blog site but I’ve decided to transition it into my real estate site. So I used the WPL plugin to add a home listings page BUT I want the home search feature to also appear in the body of my home page. From what I’ve read, I’ll need to do a bit of coding for it to appear with my theme. I used the “Neville” theme and I’m not too familiar with coding. Any suggestions, tips or help?
Thanks again

]]>The staff in charge of transitioning away from the shared data with zillowpress ( Zillow Agent Websites https://www.zillow.com/agent-websites/ ) manipulated the mapping and database fields in way that this plugin and diverse solutions have gone from one the best IDX solutions in the market back in 2011 to the least reliable one in the market and representing a liability issue for diverse solutions, realtors and Realtor boards when it comes to data integrity .
The people doing the mls mapping limited the number of bathrooms to 9 maximum, please remove any limit on the number of bathrooms.
This site using zillowpress (same way was for this plugin prior to June 8th, 2017) you can see all properties showing the correct number of bathrooms , full and half included:
https://www.lmisinc.com/idx/city/beverly-hills/?idx-d-SortOrders%3C0%3E-Column=Price&idx-d-SortOrders%3C0%3E-Direction=DESC
This site using Diverse Solutions listings with more than 9 baths show 0 bath, not to mention that full and half breakdown is not shown anymore:
https://heatherpaulonline.com/idx/city/beverly-hills/?idx-d-SortOrders%3C0%3E-Column=Price&idx-d-SortOrders%3C0%3E-Direction=DESC
On zillowpress site
This listing shows 18 baths
https://www.lmisinc.com/idx/mls-17228980-72_beverly_park_beverly_hills_ca_90210
On site using Diverse Solutions
Shows 0 baths
https://heatherpaulonline.com/idx/mls-17228980-72_beverly_park_beverly_hills_ca_90210
Another issues with the data mapping include limiting the number of fields on the listing additional details section, it is ridiculous that is limited to only approximately 20 fields only when zillowpress continue to show way more fields of data for only $10 per month on the same type of plugin.
Scroll down on this listing on this site on zillowpress network and notice the number of data fields on the Additional Details section, prior to June 8th 2017 the listings using this plugin where shown like this
https://www.lmisinc.com/idx/mls-17234424-26848_pacific_coast_highway_malibu_ca_90265
Scroll down on this listing on diverse solutions so you can appreciate the difference after the June 8th transition very few data fields:
https://www.sackinteam.com/idx/mls-17234424-26848_pacific_coast_highway_malibu_ca_90265
The diverse solutions site after June 8th got the listing data fields reduced in a way that there’s no value in it against competitors . See the same listing on a site running on IHOMEFINDER https://www.bethanngreen.com/homes-for-sale-details/26848-PACIFIC-COAST-HIGHWAY-MALIBU-CA-90265/17234424/306/ see all the data available
Another big issue is that the mapping people over at Diverse Solutions cut the size of the database fields so not only showing very little data fields , but some of the few fields remaining are cut in half or not shown completely, in the previous example :
On the Diverse Solutions site you see how the garage field is cut
GARAGE Driveway, Driveway – Combination, Private, RV Access/
https://www.lmisinc.com/idx/mls-17234424-26848_pacific_coast_highway_malibu_ca_90265
On the zillowpress , same way was before the June 8th update
PARKINGFEATURES Circular Driveway, Driveway, Driveway – Combination, Guest, Private, RV Access/Parking
https://www.sackinteam.com/idx/mls-17234424-26848_pacific_coast_highway_malibu_ca_90265
So they modified the bathrooms fields limited to 9 baths , not showing full and half anymore
They cut the number of listing fields to more than half in many cases and eliminating many of the relevant ones to consumers.
They cut the size of the database fields so the data shows incomplete and words cut off.
More info to come.
The questions are:
Was this done intentionally or accidentally?
Was this part of a Zillow Group – Market Leader Agreement to degrade the product?
More importantly this represents a liability issue because of data manipulation.
Please address this publicly and fix or assume responsibilities.

What I do not want to do is pay monthly for the theme. (Which seems to be a growing practice)
