 * Hey [@pracko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pracko/) – thanks for testing
   the new feature and providing that feedback! Good catch.
 * I have submitted an issue to our plugin team and we will address that in an update.
 * I haven’t tested this yet but I imagine that “manually” adding the #sr-contact-
   form element around your CF7 shortcode. For example, in the plugin settings where
   you’re putting the CF7 shortcode, you may be able to add the HTML ID like so:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div id="sr-contact-form">  [cf7_your_contact_form_shortcode]</div>
       ```
   
 * But we can certainly address this in the plugin and ensure it works out of the
   box!

 * Hey [@pracko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pracko/) thanks for the ticket!
 * We actually just added a feature in the latest release (v3.1.0) that allows you
   to use a custom contact form. On the Settings->SimplyRETS page, you’ll see a 
   new checkbox for “Enable custom lead capture form”. In this setting, you can 
   use a shortcode from another plugin (eg, a Contact Form 7 shortcode), or raw 
   PHP/HTML code.
   I recommend using Contact Form 7 (or a similar form plugin) as
   it will give you a shortcode and has ways to grab the listing address and ID 
   out of the URL to send with your form or analytics. Hope this helps get what 
   you need!

 * Hey [@nickiova](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickiova/) — thanks for the
   the update with v3.0.2! Glad that fixed the the link issue for you.
 * The first time I click the link, everything works, and then subsequent reloads
   show what you’re seeing. Fortunately I know what this is and it is not actually
   related to this plugin and is easy to fix:
 * The issue happens when there is a lazyloading conflict on the site. The listing
   slider already lazy loads itself, but some other plugin (or sometimes a theme)
   has a lazy load setting that is causing an conflict trying to load the image.
 * See if you can figure out which plugin is doing the lazy loading. Most caching,
   optimization, performance, etc, related plugins may have this functionality.
 * Once you know who is causing the conflict, there _should_ be a setting to bypass
   certain images by class name (`.sr-listing-slider-item-img`) or URL (`https://
   media.crmls.org/`). This is the easiest solution. For example with Smush, Elementor,
   W3 Total Cache, etc, all have this setting with the option to bypass I mentioned.
 * I’ll go ahead and close this since it’s not related to this specific bug, but
   feel free to reach out via email or open another thread if needed!

 * Hey there, thank you for the detailed report on this! Just wanted to post a quick
   update that we do a have patch for this coming shortly, you should see a plugin
   update available today or tomorrow with a fix for the issue. I’ll leave this 
   open for now and let you know once that’s available.
 * Thanks again.

 * Hey Shyama,
 * Thanks for the ticket – we’re happy to help! For some reason the screenshots 
   you sent is only showing the first picture of the settings page. Can you paste
   the specific warning message you’re getting?
 * Also, we generally recommend using a normal WordPress “Page” with the SimplyRETS
   shortcodes. For example, create a normal Page and add this shortcode:
 * [sr_search_form]
   [sr_listings]
 * That should get around the warning for you, but let me know if you hit any other
   issues.
 * Thank you – looking forward to your reply!

 * Hey [@irichards1320](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irichards1320/) thanks
   for reaching out — this is possible! In addition to the `cities` filter, we also
   support a `neighborhoods` filter. For example, you can use it in a short-code
   like this:
 *     ```
       [sr_listings neighborhoods="NEIGHBORHOOD_NAME"]
       ```
   
 * You can use it alongside the `cities` filter, if necessary (ie, if the neighborhood
   name appears in different cities, you can narrow it down like: `[sr_listings 
   cities="CITY" neighborhoods="NEIGHBORHOOD")]`.
 * This will of course work only if your data includes subdivision/neighborhood 
   information. Most feeds do, so that shouldn’t be an issue. But if you have any
   trouble getting it to work feel free to reply here, or send us an email!

 * Hey [@mercury168](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mercury168/) – good question!
   We don’t currently have a direct integration with WooCommerce to use the plugins
   in conjunction. I’m also not super familiar with integrating with WooCommerce,
   but I’ll definitely put in some notes to our team for future reference!
 * For a bit more info, the SimplyRETS plugin works completely by using short-codes.
   You should be able to use the plugins at the same time, for sure, but they will
   probably not be able to interact with each other at this time. That said, if 
   you’re more familiar with WooCommerce, it could be worth checking out how SimplyRETS
   works to see if there’s any way to use SimplyRETS’ short-codes as WooCommerce
   products, or something like that. Here’s the user guide for SimplyRETS, which
   may help: [http://wordpress-demo.simplyrets.com/documentation/](http://wordpress-demo.simplyrets.com/documentation/)
 * But again, I’ll put some feedback in to our team for you – thanks for asking!

 * Hey there, thanks again for the thread! I’ve got a bit more info for you below:
 * > We want to display all of our Broker’s listings separately
 * Absolutely, just to start, check out this page: [http://wordpress-demo.simplyrets.com/documentation](http://wordpress-demo.simplyrets.com/documentation)
 * That page will show you all of the “filters” we support. The one you’re looking
   for here is “brokers”. All you need is to give the short-code your broker’s MLS
   ID, and the plugin will take care of the rest.
 * You can, if it helps, provide multiple broker IDs in the same short-code.
 * > and we also want to display other local listings from other brokers in categories
   > by town (Orlando, Miami, etc.) or even by type (Beachfront, Waterfront, etc)
   > in a different section on the same page like this website:
 * Right, so the only limitation you will hit here is that you cannot filter *out*
   your brokerage from the list. So, one a page like this you would just omit the“
   brokers” parameter I mentioned above, and it will show listings from all brokerages
   in the MLS.
 * And just to clarify – your broker’s listings will still show up on this page/
   section.
 * > Is categorizing by areas or other search filters possible to do with your plugin?
   > Will this slow the page load time?
 * Categorizing by area and property type is for sure good to go. We have a pretty
   robust set of “location” related filters (city, neighborhood, postal code, counties,
   etc), so you can definitely build pages specific to these areas/filters.
 * For page load time, actually no, it won’t slow it down at all! In general, the
   more “filters” you use the faster it will be since you are “narrowing down” the
   amount of listings that need to be searched.
 * > Also, do you have variations on how to manipulate the layout of the listings–
   > 3 columns across, 4 across, etc.?
 * Great question. The plugin doesn’t support a grid-layout out of the box (but 
   I will put in a +1 to our team, we’ve heard the use-case before).
 * Right now the best way to do this is with custom CSS. We actually have a CSS 
   style guide here so you can see all of the classes and IDs the plugin uses: [https://docs.simplyrets.com/simply-rets-client.html](https://docs.simplyrets.com/simply-rets-client.html)
 * I do know many other users have done this, but personally I have not set it up
   this way myself (though we can usually help with CSS issues if you hit them).
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hey Kenny, thanks for the thread! I believe I sent a reply over to an email you
   sent, and not then my apologies for the slow response here!
 * Fix: Use the “q” filter instead of the “mlsid” filter. Like this:
 * `[sr_listings q="######"]`
 * There are two ID fields in our API: the public MLS # for a listing and the internal
   SimplyRETS ID for a listing. The `mlsid` filter searches the SimplyRETS unique
   ID, which is usually not the one you’ll have, which is the public MLS #, and 
   for that you can just use `q` instead of `mlsid`.
 * Hope this helps — let me know if I can clarify anything!

 * Hey Adam, thanks for the thread — good question!
 * We don’t have anything specific set up to set that image, but we do actually 
   have an internal ticket open to make some improvements there so I’ll see if I
   can get those pushed through.
 * To confirm – is an image of the listing showing correctly in the facebook preview,
   but you want to customize which image is shown? Or is it not showing a property
   image at all when you share it?
 * Let me know, we’ll get it fixed up! Thanks,
