 * The plugin doesn’t set any background colors on the content area. Your theme 
   is supposed to handle that.
 * Copy the template files (single-listing.php and archive-listing.php) included
   in the plugin in the /includes/views/ folder and add them to your theme so they
   will take precedence.
 * You’ll then need to add the same markup structure used by your theme so the CSS
   from your theme carries over. Either add `id="main"` to the `<section>` element
   or create a new `<div id="main">` before the WP Listings markup. If you choose
   the latter, just be sure to include a closing `</div>`

 * Or instead of using the included template files, you can create your own page
   and use the shortcodes provided.

 * The files you moved over (single-listing.php and archive-listing.php). Add your
   theme’s markup to before the plugin’s markup. i.e. the `<section>` element.

 * I moved <div id=”main” class=”container”> to single-listing.php and added before
   <div class=”entry-content wplistings-single-listing”> but no luck.

 * It’s not showing in your source code so you’ve not done it correctly.
 * Also if you added it to single-listing.php it would have no effect on the link
   you shared – that’s an archive page.
 * While we make every effort for the templates to be compatible with the widest
   number of themes, all themes have different markup structures. We don’t guarantee
   it will work with your theme, but we provide the templates for you to customize
   to your needs. Customization for your theme is beyond the scope of the support
   forum.

 * So I got everything done but for some reason the background around the top title
   is still transparent but everywhere else it’s great. see here and thanks for 
   all the help: [http://wooderice.com/property-listing/beautiful-3-story-house-heart-fishtown/#.U6rcm6gWeeE](http://wooderice.com/property-listing/beautiful-3-story-house-heart-fishtown/#.U6rcm6gWeeE)

 * It’s because you’ve added it to the `single_listing_post_content()` function 
   which displays after the post title. Scroll down near the bottom until you see
   this:
 * `<div id="primary" class="content-area container inner">`
 * You’ll want to add your `<div id="main" class="container">` right before that.
   And the closing `</div>` after this:
    `</div><!-- #primary -->`
