 * Yes it’s possible using a filter. The wp_listings_property_details is filterable
   so you could use [add_filter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter)
   to create your own details array.
 * Just published an article on agentevolution.com on how to do this: [http://www.agentevolution.com/how-to-2/change-wp-listings-property-details/](http://www.agentevolution.com/how-to-2/change-wp-listings-property-details/)

 * Hey there.. I followed the instructions given above.. and that is fine.. and 
   it worked on the listing pages.
 * But I changed the fields from square feet to meters as we are in New Zealand 
   and they are not being changed on the active listings page we have set up using
   the short codes provided.
 * To make that view square meters as well.. do we need to only edit the wp-listings/
   includes/shortcodes.php or is there another file that we need to edit? Thanks
   in advance

 * I got it to work in the end.. just had to to edit the shorcode file.. looks like
   I am going to have also edit the archive template as well.
 * Is there anyway that I can have all these changes in place and not lose them 
   when an update is put in place?
 * thanks in advance.. and if I need to open another thread please let me know.

 * Yes, to change those you would need to make a custom shortcode and template file
   because if they are changed there is no way for us to programmatically know what
   is there and output it accordingly. Also, since you’re changing the label, you
   should also change the field name so it won’t be output with a mismatched label.
 * As I mentioned, you’ll want to create your own files and include them in your
   theme, instead of editing the plugin, because when the plugin is updated you 
   lost those changes.
 * Template files (archive- and single-listing.php) can be easily customized by 
   just placing your custom version in your theme folder. With the shortcode, you’ll
   need to copy that file into it’s own file, rename the shortcode to something 
   like [custom_listings], and include the file from your theme’s functions.php.

 * Template files – Just add to the theme folder, same name.
    Creating a custom 
   shortcode is not relevant to this support topic and this topic has been marked
