Creating Properties – missing from Documentation
-
For anyone else stuck with the page not found error…
After you set the post type and create a community, you also need to create the properties that go in that community. This is referenced in the documentation, but it is missing the step to show how to create the property.
This is compounded by the fact that there is a separate “Properties” option on your left admin sidebar. You would assume all options are under “Communities” but you have to scroll down to locate the options for Properties.
After creating a property, assign it to a community using the metabox as explained in the documentation.
For my scenario, I had to create a set of categories at the community level. For example, I’m listing the Communities by Beachside, Condo, Custom, Single Family, etc. Then I’m assigning the individual properties within those communities.
With this approach, a property can show up in multiple communities, such as Condo and Beachside, or Single Family and Beachside.
We can set featured images at the Community level, but not the Property level. So when you open the “Beach” community (in my example) I see only a list of the properties – no associated images. That’s fine, but property images would be nicer.
Based upon the demo, I’m not sure if my approach is how the author intended. I have a layer between the “Our Communities” page and the final published property page that doesn’t exist in the demo.
Hope this helps!
