Description
IDXExpress.com provides a clean path to launch listings on WordPress without complexity.
- Free mode: MyListings – create and publish manual listings with gallery sorting, 3 detail templates, and 10 list styles.
- Upgrade mode: Active Listings – enable daily-updated listings in your area with search, filters, polygon mapping, and CRM lead routing.

External Services
This plugin connects to IDXExpress.com, an external service, to provide optional account management, Search Builder tools, active listing data, map search, filters, polygon mapping, saved property features, and CRM lead routing. These features require an IDXExpress.com account or coverage package and may include IDXExpress service branding as part of the rendered listing content.
When using the Account screen inside wp-admin, the plugin loads https://idxexpress.com/wp-account in an admin-only iframe. This is used so the site administrator can view or manage IDXExpress account information and service settings from inside WordPress. The request sends the website administrator’s browser request to IDXExpress.com and includes a per-site iframe token generated by the plugin. IDXExpress.com may receive standard web request information such as IP address, browser user agent, referring site/admin page, cookies for logged-in IDXExpress sessions, and any account details the administrator enters or updates on the IDXExpress.com service page.
When using the Search Builder screen inside wp-admin, the plugin loads https://idxexpress.com/wp-search-builder in an admin-only iframe. This is used to build and configure Active Listings search embeds. The request sends the website administrator’s browser request to IDXExpress.com and includes a per-site iframe token generated by the plugin. IDXExpress.com may receive standard web request information such as IP address, browser user agent, referring site/admin page, cookies for logged-in IDXExpress sessions, and any search/embed settings the administrator creates or saves on the IDXExpress.com service page.
When an Active Listings embed is placed on a public page, listing data and search functionality are served by IDXExpress.com. Public visitor interactions with the Active Listings embed may send IDXExpress.com standard web request information, listing/search interaction data, search criteria, saved-property activity, lead form details, and CRM routing data when a visitor submits or uses those features. Public Active Listings embeds use script-based page injection and are separate from the admin-only iframe service pages.

FAQ
-
Does this use iFrames or subdomains?
-
For public Active Listings pages, the embed uses a copy/paste script snippet that injects listing content into the page markup. It does not create public-facing iframe pages or subdomain pages. Inside wp-admin, the Account and Search Builder service screens are loaded in admin-only iframes from IDXExpress.com so administrators can manage the external service from WordPress.
-
How often are listings updated?
-
Daily. Your site will pull fresh Active Listings each day for covered areas.
-
Can I sort gallery images?
-
Yes. In the MyListings editor, drag image thumbnails to reorder.
-
Where do I pick the property details layout?
-
In the Property Information box when editing a MyListings post. Choose Template 1, 2, or 3.
-
Can I route leads into my CRM?
-
Yes in the upgrade. Active Listings includes CRM lead routing and saved property events forwarding.
