The Houzez theme is required. ListingKit reads Houzez's own property post type, taxonomies and fields \u2014 it is not a standalone search plugin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n On a small demo site, Houzez's built-in search feels fine. On a real portal it does not. Every search submits a form, reloads the entire page, and asks the database to filter your listings through WordPress meta queries \u2014 the header, menu, map scripts and footer all rebuild just to show twelve different cards. At two thousand listings it drags; at ten thousand every filter change is a wait, and your visitors feel it.<\/p>\n\n ListingKit fixes the root cause.<\/strong> It builds a dedicated, indexed set of lookup tables for your properties and filters against those instead of grinding through post meta \u2014 so results update in place, instantly, with no page reload.<\/strong> Change the bedroom count and the cards refresh where they stand: no white flash, no lost scroll position, no rebuilding the whole page.<\/p>\n\n Free finds them. Pro shows where they are.<\/strong> The free engine answers \"which listings match?\"<\/em> at any catalogue size. Pro answers \"where are they?\"<\/em> \u2014 with interactive maps, agent and agency filtering, and lead-capture tools.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Instead of querying A filter becomes a single, tight, indexed query rather than dozens of meta lookups. That is why it stays fast as your catalogue grows \u2014 and why it uses less<\/strong> of your server than Houzez's native search does today, not more. There are no artificial listing limits<\/strong> on Free or Pro.<\/p>\n\n Instant, in-place filtering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Full Houzez data compatibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n A real search-UI builder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Performance & server operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Pro is a separate add-on that layers on top of Free. It adds what Houzez cannot do out of the box, without removing or throttling anything in Free.<\/p>\n\n Native, multi-provider map search<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Precision geolocation tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Lead capture & dashboard integration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Agent & agency multi-select<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Workflow acceleration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This plugin's optional Page Speed<\/strong> feature (Fast Search \u2192 Page Speed) reduces the delay Houzez's own visitor-location lookup adds to property pages. Houzez's Insights records each visit and, to do so, asks a third-party IP geolocation service which city the visitor is in \u2014 a request that blocks the page until it answers. When that lookup is about to happen, this plugin performs the same<\/em> request in the background instead, and serves the answer from a short-lived cache.<\/p>\n\n Because of that, when this feature is enabled the plugin sends the visitor's IP address<\/strong> to one of the following services \u2014 the same services Houzez itself uses \u2014 to retrieve an approximate city and country:<\/p>\n\n Only the visitor's IP address is sent, only when Houzez would already have made this lookup, and each result is cached so the same address is not looked up repeatedly. No request is made for a visitor whose location Houzez does not look up. You can disable this feature entirely under Fast Search \u2192 Page Speed<\/strong>, in which case the plugin makes no external requests of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n Make sure the Houzez theme is active.<\/strong> ListingKit extends Houzez and does nothing without it.<\/p>\n\n Searches read the index, so they return nothing until it is built.<\/p>\n\n The rebuild runs in the background and continues after you leave the page. On a very large catalogue with WP-Cron disabled, run it from the command line instead:<\/p>\n\n From then on, properties are indexed automatically as they are saved.<\/p>\n\n On activation the plugin creates a Fast Search Results<\/strong> page at With Elementor:<\/strong> edit any page, open the widget panel, and find the Houzez Elements<\/strong> category. Drag in:<\/p>\n\n Select the search widget and open Filter Fields<\/strong> to choose which fields appear, reorder them, rename their labels, and set each field's width.<\/p>\n\n Without Elementor<\/strong>, use the shortcodes in any page, post or widget area:<\/p>\n\n By default the search bar submits to the Fast Search Results<\/strong> page. If you build your own, place the ListingKit Search Results<\/strong> widget on it and the search bar will find it.<\/p>\n\n\n No. ListingKit is built specifically around Houzez's property post type, taxonomies and field naming. It is not a general-purpose filter plugin and will not do anything on a non-Houzez site.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Elementor is fully supported with native widgets, but everything also works through the No. Both Free and Pro are uncapped. The indexed architecture is designed precisely so that filtering stays fast whether you have fifty listings or fifty thousand.<\/p><\/dd>\n Bulk importers often write directly to the database and bypass WordPress's normal save hooks, so those listings aren't indexed yet. Run a one-time reindex: click Rebuild Index<\/strong> on the Fast Search screen, or on large catalogues run No. Pro is an add-on<\/strong>: the free plugin stays installed and keeps running the indexed search engine, and Pro attaches its map, agent\/agency and lead-generation features on top. Nothing in Free is removed, throttled, or gated when Pro is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n Pro inherits your existing Houzez map configuration<\/strong> \u2014 whichever provider and API key you have already set up in the Houzez theme options (OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, or Mapbox). There is no separate map setup inside ListingKit.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. ListingKit renders Houzez's own listing cards, styling and layout classes. Your results look exactly as they do now \u2014 they simply arrive faster and without a page reload.<\/p><\/dd>\n Your site returns to Houzez's native search. Your properties, pages and settings are untouched \u2014 the index tables are simply no longer read.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
