PREP Adds New Tool Designed to Feature Articles
Since the conception of Positive Real Estate Professionals, Rich Dansereau and I have made a commitment to continue to enhance our real estate network. We do these enhancements to be able to offer more tools to our members that will help make their marketing even better. Today is no different for us as we have now been able to implement a plugin that will allow the user to feature articles, properties, or whatever they want to feature from the blog component. This plugin was originally not able to be integrated into PREP, but after much work, we have been able to make it work. So, without further adieu, let’s get to the announcement.
PREP is now offering the plugin Featurific for WordPress
We are so happy to be able to offer this great tool for our users, but we are even happier to announce that this plugin can and will be set up for any member of the network. The only catch is that this plugin will ONLY be setup for members that have obtained their own personal theme or layout, which is also FREE when you sign up. The reason for us ONLY allowing this plugin to be used on personal themes and not ones that are shared is that it has to be coded into the Theme PHP files. If we did it on the shared themes, then everyone would have to have it in the same spot on the themes they use.
What can Featurific for WordPress do?
The featurific plugin is designed to feature one category from your blog. In the case of a Realtor®, you could actually write an article on a property that you have listed using a picture of the front of the property as the first picture in the post and list it in a category called Listings, and the plugin would pull these listings. Or, if you would rather pulled out some of your better articles, you can categorize them as featured and code the plugin to pull that category and it will. The great thing is that it is fully customizable and it can and will scroll through all the articles in one category. We currently have this plugin on Chris Fisher’s site and William Troutman’s site. Check both of these out because they both appear in 2 different places on the page and they both are set up to pull different types of articles.
There are several different options of how this can appear on your site as well. The placement has to be implemented by one of the webmasters as well since it has to be done in the theme files. You can chose from having it on the blog page, the sidebar of the blog page, every pages’ sidebar, or every page. The choice is up to you. The content of what you want to feature is also up to you.
