= Beta/Testing packages Installations= Link

If you received beta version, have in mind this may cause some unpredictable issues but usualy just solve your trouble or give yo uoportunity to test some new non official feature.

1. So first make Backup with wp all in one migration plugin or zip files and download db from cpanel.

2. You need to know what you have, usualy we providing plugin as beta because plugin contain functionality.

In Admin->Plugins deactivate and delete related plugin, usualy "WP Directory Kit"

Then Admin->Plugins->Add New->Upload Plugin and upload your received plugin

Other rear case: if you have theme then you need to install in Admin->Appearance->Add Themes->Upload Theme

Sometimes you may experiance trouble because of server limitations, then increase limitation on server or upload via cpanel file manager, some hints: in FAQ

On troubles you can also provide cpanel login and wp-admin login to our support team and we will be happy to assist you.

Our demo data importer or you can build this specific pages which are used to show some specific data, like data for listing preview. For start will be much easier if you use demo data importer, and then try to replicate/customize it.

This way system know which page need to open to show listing preview page data, results, agent page or similar...

Main directory pages like results and listing preview page are defiend in Dashboard->Directory Kit->Settings

Membership pages are defined in Dashboard->Users->WDK Membership->Settings

 

Some Categories cooming with demo data importer or you can build it also manually.

Categories can be structured in trees, that means some categories can have sub categories and also sub-sub categories

Subcategories, also can be added by clicking on "Add Category" Button, just then you need to select parent category here:

 

On listing submission you can select related

You can add new category and define basic info needed, hints and descriptions provided on form

If you want to define sub-category then you need to define parent category related to this sub-category actually child-category in such meaning

Multiple categories/locations also supported, just need to be enabled in setitngs:

Hide specific fields based on category selection?

This feature can't be used when Multiple categories are enabled because of conflicts

Admin Dashboard -> DIrectory Kit -> Categories -> Edit wanted

And here you can select visible fields, his will take effect on add listings and search forms

 

 

 

 

 

Some Locations cooming with demo data importer or you can build it also manually.

In general everything is similar like categories

Multiple categories/locations also supported, just need to be enabled in setitngs:

 

Usualy first fields are generated by demo data importer:

This fields and section can be restructured, replaced/moved with drag & drop, resized etc.

Like this client need to populate this fields on listings submission, you can notice that fields are positioned same and sized same (columns num):

Then for example when you building layot for listing preview page in elementor, bulding search form or result card you need to position this fields on layout design visually

Video examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cewZBOGzbPg

Custom Map Marker Field

You can also use field value like price instead of marker on map, example:

 

 

On left side you can see similar structure as on fields, this fields you just move to right side to wanted position on result card

Example mapping with standard result card layout design

 

There are some options like css class, usable for custom stylings and columns for width, 2 for example mean to take 2 columns from standard total 12 columns in grid responsive design.

Results element support custom results order, you can configure this way:

Results element support custom queries for any field, example for disable featured results, you can configure this way:

 

 

On left side you can see similar structure as on fields, this fields you just move to right side to wanted position on search form

THere are some custom predefined fields, used for some special purpose or for standard fields, not custom fields

for example element "more" is like pagebreak and after this element all will be visible when user click on more, on search form:

There are some options like css class, usable for custom stylings and columns for width, 2 for example mean to take 2 columns from standard total 12 columns in grid responsive design.

On NUMERIC and DROPDOWN/INPUTBOX fields you will found also option Min/Max, this is used when you want search from or to entered value in search form.

if you searching by number, like number of rooms, always use NUMERIC field, and if you eventually need DROPDOWN then enter values inside field and will be shown like dropdown on search form

if you searching by text, like energy efficiency A.B,C then use DROPDOWN or INPUTBOX

How search form works?

Search form works based on AND logic, so searching for listings which contain all criterias defined in form.

For example if you ahve 2 checkbox fields like Cooling, Heating, and you select both i nsearch form, this means that you searching for listings which have both options cooling AND heating.

If you wan tto enable multiple locations or multiple categories search thats possible with single field like example:

this option can be enabled in settings here:

You can also use DROPDOWN MULTIPLE field for similar purpose, if not related to location or category

To enable price sliders:

On frontend you need to be of course logged in with admin, then on wanted page you can click "Edit with Elementor"

There are many fields which you can use to build your pages, of course you can combine also elements from other Elementor plugins. Maybe most simple if you import demo data, and then investigate how pages are build and add your own changes or completely new pages.

There are some special options in elements like Query where you can fetch/show only specific listings based on wanted specific parameters

in this case field_5, field 5 is actually purpose id #5 is visible in dashboard on fields management page, location_id and category_id also can be used same as any other custom field

field_5=sale means actually that value must contains sale

if you want exact same value then use:

field_5_exactly=sale

for checkboxes you can use example:

field_92=1

 

Video examples:

Example how to change number of columns in Wdk Listings Carousel

Example how to change Elementor elements order on specific device or hide elements on specific device

In elementor you can archive this, some elements can be hidden on specific devices:

 

In general our solution can be used with Free Elementor Version, we testing and using Free version in our demos and everything what you need is Free version.

If you decide to buy Elementor PRO, please support us and purchase from this link:

https://be.elementor.com/visit/?bta=5670&nci=5383

Colors you can change in Elementor, example to change serch button color:

In general always check all tabs in elementor options, you will found many options

If not found some very specific styling you can add with custom css

Custom CSS can be usualy added via customizer, guide: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/

Or also in some elements we put custom css like:

Examples on pagination:

Example for search form, select field inputs:

Change color on result card background example:

Change color don't take effect, not changing or is transparent?

Is not wlways just color, but also transparency!

Problem is usualy in this second slider bar, when it is fully on left, means full invisible color, so must be full on right side

For example if you have 8 chars color code like this: #02010100

last 2 chars, in this case 00, means fully transparent

If you remove this last 2 chars then you get standard color code without transparency defined

 

 

 

 

 

 

Booking is Addon Plugin so you need to enable them, if you don't have it then you need to buy it.

We prepared video, so you can check it here: https://youtu.be/UURNh6rTmsc

This plugin also require membership addon to work properly so best that you installit and import demo content as described in Membership Addon Docs: https://wpdirectorykit.com/plugins/wp-directory-membership.html

Booking Addon purchase here: https://wpdirectorykit.com/plugins/wp-directory-booking-calendar.html and install it in wordpress as usual

1. To show calendar on listing preview page you need to edit your listing page (element available only on listing page!) with elementor and add calendar element on wanted position.

Also Rates/Availability/Pricing table can be added same way

 

2. Contact form is needed for reservation functionality on listing preview page

3. To enable Booking features, for specific listings you need to add Calendar and availability dates/prices

Admin can add via dashboard or owner/agent via frontend dashboard also

4. You should also add some availability dates and rates

If you noticed no results:

Most probably:

for specific listings you need to add Calendar and availability dates/prices from dash

or your available dates are already reserved as described above

Manual payments is possible by just entering wire transfer data instructions iwhen adding calendar

Online payment is supported via woocommerce, support almost any payment gateway, can be enabled in settings:

Some settings yo ucan found in Admin dashboard -> WDK Bookings -> Settings

Some Calendar related in Admin dashboard -> WDK Bookings -> Calendars -> Edit wanted

And some Frontend elements related in Elementor specific elementor options

Booking Proccess Flowchart

 

 

Similar thing as for previous page building:

But here is now special category for listing preview elements WDK LISTING PREVIEW, which are specificaly related to this specificaly page:

WDK Field Value is one of most standard elements:

This field is a bit special, it also autodetect if you enter youtube or link and for example show video or show link

Link is very usable if you need for external website link, phone number, whatsapp number or similar

This way you define whatsapp number:

select your field which contains url like page url or whatsapp url etc
 
as value, use https://wa.me/<number> where the <number> is a full phone number in international format. Omit any zeroes, brackets, or dashes when adding the phone number in international format.
 
system will auto detect if thats url, and will make link, but will show field label text instead
 
for tel you using like tel://<number>
 
Also we added support for shortcodes like:
 
[wdk-listing-field-label field_id='19']
[wdk-listing-field-value field_id='19']
 
enable_html attr can be used to show html layout, not just blank values
 
this maybe you can use on some places / external plugins
 

How to add section:

If you need add it to backend:
 
Admin->Fields->Add FIeld
 
Important is to define field type as SECTION:
 
 
If you need add it to frontend/Elementor
 
Go to Listing frontend page with admin account and click on "Edit With Elementor"
 
Now you can just duplicate existing section:
 
 
Or add new element Wdk FIelds Section:
 
 
And then change section ID.
 
 
Example for slider arrows colors:
 
 

Video examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cewZBOGzbPg

Listing preview

[wdk-listing-field-label field_id='19'] - Label of field
[wdk-listing-field-value field_id='19'] - Field value + suffix/prefix (possible define attr post_id, like post id)
[wdk-listing-field-value-suffix field_id='19'] - Field suffix
[wdk-listing-field-value-prefix field_id='19'] - Field prefix
[wdk-listing-field-value-text field_id='19'] - Field value (possible define attr post_id, like post id)

field_id for special main fields, key are:

Title = post_title
Description = post_content
Address = address
Category = category_id
Location = location_id

Latest listings

[wdk-latest-listings-list] - show latest listings in list view

custom_class (string) - custom css class
order (string) - order by for results
conf_query (string) - custom string query like field=xx&field_2=xxx
limit (int) - limit listings, default 2
only_is_featured (string), yes, if yes show only featured
conf_custom_results (string) - like 1,2,3,4,5 where id is id of listing

Favorite heart

[wdk-favorite-action], show action add/remove favorite

page id or profile, auto detected

Example (on page this is element, but shortcode same looks):

 

Review

[wdk-review-avg] - show avg rating of profile/listing (just stars 1 -5 )

Example (this is shortcode)

 

 

1. You need to translate static texts / po fiels

Install and activate Loco Translate plugin

POedit or similar tools are not suggested because are more complicated to use and sometimes simply doesn't work out of the box.

Video examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip1dJm6xc-0

If you will have only one language on website, so no multilanguage, just translation, then you simply go over complete page content and change it/translate to wanted language one by one, example this is most important parts to translate:

so all posts, pages, directory kit fields, then listings, and menu

If you need multilanguage / multilingual

1. Make part 1 for your default language, usualy default is english so can be skipped if so

2.A (More simple) AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION for multilanguage - one option is that you have only one language on site like "English" and all other are automatically translated by Google. For automatic translation you can use plugin

Gtranslate https://wordpress.org/plugins/gtranslate/ (Manual translations only in premium version)

TranslatePress https://wordpress.org/plugins/translatepress-multilingual/ (Allow also manual translations)

2.B MANUAL TRANSLATION, this way clients/you will need to translate all listings to multiple languages, so enter manualy values for every single language

This is very hard to manage later if you have many listings so think twice about this, thats why booking.com and similar popular portals don't allow that, but use only english instead.

Of course, sometimes this is simply requried and you need manage manualy multiple langs on page.

We working on this feature currently and cooming soon

 

This is helpfully if you need move lsitings fro msome other solution to our (Import), or from our to some other solution (Export)

You need WDK  import/export plugin and wp all import plugins:

https://wpdirectorykit.com/plugins/wp-directory-import-export.html

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/

Export

Export is available in XML, Tools->Export WDK Listings:

Import

Install and activate "wp all import" plugin, free version is enough.

Video instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1yS0uuA9xA

 

All Import->New Import->Upload a file->Selected wanted file from filesystem for import->New Items->WDK-Listings->Continue to Step 2

In step 2 select node element of listing, usualy auto selected and Continue to Step 3

In step 3 drag and drop / mapping wanted elements from your file structure to wanted fields in system, example:

In step 4 define id, also with drag and drop

After that continue and run import

Hint:

Because of many servers limitations, we define max 5 images upload for listing. If needed possible to change this number in wp-contentpluginswdk-wp-all-importwdk-wp-all-import.php, search for

private $wdk_num_images = 5;

should be around line 40, and change to wanted number, if you have control on max execution time config on server.

Membership plugin is required for this feature:

https://wpdirectorykit.com/plugins/wp-directory-membership.html

In elementor you can add some predefined custom fields to registration form to become auto populated:

Can be also populated here from frontend dashboard

On edit listing preview page and form in elementor, yo ucan add custom fields:

If you use woocommerce, also woocommerce support some fields population important for payments

 

Membership addon you can purchase on our website:

https://wpdirectorykit.com/plugins/wp-directory-membership.html

Installation video with 2 scenarious (just plugin or complete theme):

Agents Quick User Guide:

How to add content on membership dashboard?

Sometimes you want to show some elements only on specific dashboard page

One simple solution via elementor is to use plugin Dynamic Visibility for Elementor

https://wordpress.org/plugins/dynamic-visibility-for-elementor/

After activating this plugin you will found tab visibility on every element, and based on GET variable you can show specific content, example for favorites:

So put this here:

 

Example video: https://wpdirectorykit.com/codecanyon/docs/img/managa-dashboard-pages.mp4

Other way is manualy via file editing HTML etc, for this check section custom coding. This is more suitable for theme builders, but you can also redesign complete layout very in detail, on HTML level

Membership Subscriptions

Membership subscriptions are part of membership features

Here will describe difference between membership, subscription and recurring payments:

Membership means being a member of a website and organization or a group

Subscription gives customers access to a product or a service for a period of time (this can be free, paid manually for a period of time or can be charged with recurring payment)

Recurring payment means that user will be charged automatically for a period of time

Payments can be hadled with:

 

What happening when membership subscription expires?

When user extend subscription or pay, it's automatically extended.

After membership period expired, in next 24h cronjob will deactivate their listings if everything is normally configured in wp.
 
If you or some third parity plugin disabled cronjobs etc this may cause trouble that deactivation will not happen.
 
You can also run this operation manually with this url example:
 
www.your-example-website-link.com/?wdk_subscriptions_sync_cron

 

Your cronjob may be disabled also in wp-config.php file, in such case remove or comment this line:


= Troubles with Orders page? = Link

Problem is most probably related to WooCommerce dash page, for orders we using WooCommerce dash, but in your case you defined same dash page for WooCommerce Dash and our Frontedn Dash, but must be different and this causing conflict:

 

Solution: Add new page and set is here as WooCommerce->Settings->Advanced, "My Account Page"

Check also our FAQ section here in documentation in case of other similar troubles

You want to rename roles?

We can only control this part in wordpress:
 
 
and this can be in loco translate by wdk membership translations
 
if you want to rename in wp dashboard then this ways:
 
Attention: Make full site backup first, Changing other capabilities etc in user role editor can make your website completely unusable!
 
So most simple with plugin "user role editor"
 
Example:
 
 
Hints from other websites:
 
https://blog.hubspot.com/website/wordpress-user-roles
 

https://wpmudev.com/blog/change-wordpress-role-names

 



 

 

 

For SEO we suggesting to use Yoast plugin for regular pages.

On listing pages we added compatibility in fields way, so you need to populate this fields, title, keywords and short description, example:

 

Email Config

Very usualy sending email on servers doesn't work by default with mail function, thats why you need to use SMTP config, we suggesting this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

Also if you wish to change Sender "WordPress" use above plugin

Templates

email texts most simple to change with loco translate plugin (check translation section, is same thing, you can replace words with translation also)

email templates are here for now:

wp-content/plugins/wpdirectorykit/application/views/email
 
you can put into your theme your customized email templates by guide in next section

For custom css/style changes check this: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/

Main functionality is implemented in plugin wp directory kit.

Code is structured in standard wordpress boilerplate starter plugin: https://wppb.me/

Arhitecture is based on MVC, base library: https://github.com/sandiwinter/winter_mvc

In plugin code thats located here:

similar structure you will found also in our other plugins/addons

helpers contains basic small "helper" functions

folders like elementor-elements, elementor-extensions, shortcodes, widgets, languages are all well known for all elementor/wordpress developers

vendor, there we put winter_mvc library

demo-data contains data and iamges for import demo data

tgm-pa is popular library which suggesting to install recommended plugins etc, more info on http://tgmpluginactivation.com/

Build custom HTML / View files for specific elements

All elements have own view files in MVC arhitecture and loading specific view files like example:

We implement feature to customize view files in way, that you can add your custom layout into your own theme.

For this example we will create one new layout for this listings results, so we will copy existing file into theme:

so copy it to path:

wp-content/themes/nexproperty/wpdirectorykit/elementor-elements/views/wdk-listings-results.php

Just for example we will add basic HTML code:

And this code is now visible on website:

Example for result item card:

File related: wp-content/themes/nexproperty/wpdirectorykit/application/views/frontend/result_item_card.php

or similar based on different theme name, here in example is nexproperty

code example for such contact button:

    <div class="wdk-card-footer">
        <a href="<?php echo esc_url($url);?>#elementinvader_addons_for_elementor_1101595239" class="wdk-button"><?php echo esc_html__('Contact','nexproperty');?></a>
    </div>

Screen from file:

So now you can make your completely own design for any element

We build custom API for Wordpress contained in wdk-api plugin, cooming with mobile app package.

WordPress already support REST API, we added our custom api calls for app needs.

Details about standard wordpress rest api: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/

sometimes api url /wp-json/ may not work, usualy this is because of permalink config, so try change permalink to "Post name"

Also check if your rest api is not disabled in wp-config or by some plugin

Request output you can see in Browser or using Postman app

API details:

example request url in our case when website domain is https://app.wpdirectorykit.com/:

https://app.wpdirectorykit.com/wp-json/wp/v2/wdk-listing

= Does it works with all themes? =

Yes all themes supported

= Does it require other plugins to work properly? =

You can use it without any additional plugin but for complete functionality like custom fields and elementor support you need to install recommended plugins

= I have troubles with favorites saving or some old data on website even after refresh? =

Please try to disable all caching plugin and tools in your wordpress, server or pc

= How to change currency? = Link

Currency is just prefix/suffix on related price field in wpdirectorykit plugin.

Dashboard->Directory Kit->Fields->Edit sale price or rent price and change suffix/prefix

= How to configure prce formating? = Link

WordPress support price formating based on language selected in WordPress Settings

To enable this for listings also, you need go to:

Admin->Directory Kit->FIelds->Edit wanted price fields and set this checkbox price format:

 

= How to change language? =

Translation: http://wpdirectorykit.com/documentation/#!/translations

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip1dJm6xc-0

So use loco translate and translate/rename fields in admin dashboard

= How to add new country in locations? = Link

Admin->Directory Kit->Locations->Add location

Select Parent: Root

Click on Save

Most troublesome are managed WordPress hosting packages like from godaddy or wordpress.com so stay away from this packages, this packages have many limitations and you don't have full control on WordPress Installations, this cousing issues to thousands themes and plugins.

Regarding hosting providers, we using in our demos cpanel shared hosting (NOT WordPress managed) version from:

a2_hosting_logo

 
Disable all third parity plugin and themes, use only our products
 
Some plugins may be hidden in folder wp-content/mu-plugins/ , so rename this folder to mu-plugins-temp and then try again (thats usual case on managed WP hosting packages, detected in godaddy), most simple way to rename it is by installing file manager plugin and rename folder inside file manager this way:
 
 
rename it to mu-plugins-1 and then repeat install proccess
 
Also try disable mod_security in cpanel or ask hosting provider to disable temporarily for install.
 
Also disable bitninja or similar software on server what usualy causing issues.
 
Check if you have this php modules enabled:
 
php-xml,php-dom,bcmath,dom,fileinfo,gd,imap,tidy,xmlreader,
xmlrpc,xmlwriter,xsl,zip,intl,json,mbstring,mcrypt,mysql,mysqli,opcache,pdo,pdo_mysql,phar,posix,soap,sockets
 
This usually happen because of some unusual server configuration

You can check php.ini configuration, try use this values:

upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 2000
memory_limit = 512M
max_input_nesting_level = 128
max_input_vars = 10000
output_buffering = 4096
NOTICE: some servers require .user.ini or .php.ini file or custom, you need to check this with server provider
 
If issue persists please contact our support team and provide wp-admin and cpanel/ftp will be great so we can test in detail on your side. Also provide info/link about hosting provider and package are you using

Regarding hosting providers, we using in our demos cpanel version from:

a2_hosting_logo

Sometimes php.ini can be changed directly in cpanel, try check for multi php ini editor or similar php config in cpanel

Timeout example, but can be any message or even no message in browser console:

Example solution:

But sometimes even this don't help because server providers have limitations, then you can ask them to increase it or do something to reduce time, for example if you do import listings then reduce number of images for import per one listing and similar.

= Social Login Import = Link

We suggest using third parity free plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextend-facebook-connect/

So install this plugin

Will look like this:

In Settings you need to define default member type:

Enable Facebook or other login by plugin instructions:

 

And in elementor drag and drop it on wanted place like:

 

= What is difference between listings and membership subscribtions = Link

listing subscription is only for one specific listing, while membership is on user base, so can be for multiple listings. For example if you wish to buy better listing ranking, on top of results, you will buy listing subscription
with some rank, higher rank mean better position in search results and can be more expensive

But if you want allow clients to add specific number of listings for specific date period and similar options/restrictions, then you need membership subscription

= Troubles with SiteGround Hosting? =

Sometimes caching options causing troubles to some plugin like cooming soon/under construction/maintance plugins etc

1. Install SG Optimizer plugin

2. Disable all caching options inside plugin

screen:

= How are currency conversation calculated? =

Converted Value = (Default Value/Default currency Index)*Converted Index

Real example:

 

= What is difference betwen Agent and Owner? =

Owner will list their own listings

Agent will list listings from other people

On website difference is that agent can be available on some special places like Agents/Profiles page and similar

Admin can change it when edit listing, is Agent field, this field is actually used for both Agent/Owner and define who can manage/edit this listing

= You wish to use same header and footer on all pages? = Link

Why we didn't do that in our demo?

Because we wish to build everything possible with free elementor version

Blog pages for examples are not supported in free elementor version and also header/footer visual designing are not supported in free elementor version
 

Option 1 (Use standard wordpress header footer)

We also prepared Video Guide for this: https://youtu.be/Lne68xokbwk

Now, first option what you can do, use standard wordpress header and footer like on blog

this way you will not be able to visually design header and footer in elementor

Edit for example homepage in Dashboard and change template to "Elementor Full Width", example:



After that edit in elementor and remove header part which is build in elementor

This repeat on all pages

Option 2 ( use free elementor header & footer builder plugin or elementor pro)

For this purpose, you can install elementor header & footer builder plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer-elementor/

In Elementor copy one of existing header elements wanted and paste into header build with this plugin

This is example configuration for header template built with this plugin:

After that edit in elementor and remove header part which is build in elementor because now you have duplicated header on all pages (old one and this one build with this plugin)

This repeat on all pages

 

= CSS troubles in Elementor = Link

Most troubles in WordPress cooming from optimization and caching plugins so first try disable this plugins related or even all third parity plugins.

Also check if ssl/https is configured properly on your website.

Try latest stable version of Elementor, Beta versions like Elementor DEV editions etc are not stable and causing errors.

If you still have troubles with css in elementor, try this:

Also disable elementor experimental features/dev mode etc if you enabled, screenshot:

You can also try downgrade PHP version, sometimes if you using newest PHP version you can expect troubles with many plugins or even core wordpress, so for example currently in year 2022 you can try downgrade from 8.x to 7.4 or similar

We also experianced trouble in Elementor when using private pages in wordpress, so change into public, then try edit

= How to migrate or backup/restore website with our solution , move to another server = Link

Version 1 (Same domain, new hosting):

If you just changing hosting but will use same domain, then most simple way is just move all cpanel data. Hosting providers even usualy doing this migration completely for free, for example this one which we mostly using:

a2_hosting_logo

So you can just try ask hosting provider if can do that for you.

Even if you have new domain, this can be helpfully but you will need find replace method described in Version 3 below

Version 2 (New domain, new hosting):

Most simple way is with third parity plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

Multisite should be disabled, because can cause troubles with missing data/tables!

Video example: https://wpdirectorykit.com/uploads/wp-migration.mp4

If you experianced trouble with filesize limit, this plugin is free until 512MB what is usualy enough for free websites.

BUT, your server have limitation most probably on 80 MB or similar by default, so configure it properly, hints:

You can check php.ini configuration, try use this values:

upload_max_filesize = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
NOTICE: some servers require .user.ini or .php.ini file or custom, you need to check this with server provider
 
If you need above 512MB, then I suggest to use cpanel backup instead described below.

Version 3 (New domain, new hosting):

Old fashion way is also manually, copy all files (zip it via file manager, download, upload to new server and extract there), move db usualy via phpmyadmin, and then using find replace url with new one if needed.

This can be done in database directly (Usualy via PHPMyAdmin) or via plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-auto-find-and-replace/

Many details about migrations can be also found on other third parity websites like:

= Elementor Theme Builder issues = Link

Some clients experianced issues when building custom theme design for blog post in elementor pro theme builder.

= WordPress.com troubles = Link

wordpress.com and other managed wp hostings are troublesome packages, so stay away from this packages, this packages have many limitations and you don't have full control on WordPress Installations, this cousing issues to thousands themes and plugins.

= How to change Listing Preview URL URI SLUG? = Link

 

= Rent/Sale pages don't showing results? = Link

Thats because you translated/changed or don't use sale/rent anymore:

so in elementor change here:

like this example:

field_5 means that field with ID 5 is used, if yo uchange that even this need to be changed.

= Page not found issues or similar? = Link

usualy this is because of permalink config, can be caused by someplugins or server changes, so try change permalink to "Post name"

So go to Admin->Settings->Permalinks

and here change to "Plain", save, then change to "Post name", save, this way wordpress will regenerate permalinks structure.

Sometimes if missing permissions, you will need copy this content into .htaccess file manually:

 

= Map default location? = Link

= Accidentaly removed listing page content or similar? = Link

possible situation is that you or some plugin/similar accidentally removed content from listing page, then most simple solution is to remove this page, even remove from trash (Admin->Pages) and then import again from Directory Kit Settings.
