It has been really irritating all this time to code your active theme to show Estatik categories and search results for both - you and us! We did some code changes to improve this part of the plugin and now you can use simple shortcodes to create pages for categories, types, statuses and search results. SO ...
Just create pages with the shortcodes below and assign the pages to necessary menu. The procedure is the same as with other shortcodes.
1. To create search results page please create the page with shortcode [es_search] and select the page in Search widget settings – drop-down Search.
2. To create listings of specific category, type or status – use sample shortcodes below:
[es_category category=”for sale”] = Properties for sale
[es_category type=”house”] = List of houses
[es_category status=”open”] = Properties open for sale/rent
If you are using the plugin till the ver. 2.0 it means, you added some shortcodes to your active theme to show the pages correctly. After you update the version, you will have to create new pages with new shortcodes written above.
You can remove the code that was added to theme before.
First of all please do backup before updating as sometimes it happens when you can forget about some customizations or translations and complain when already lost some parts of code.
If you update the plugin from the ver. 2.0 to 2.1.0, you can just delete the previous version and install the new version. You will not lose any listing and other information that the plugin contained.
If you update from version 1.x to 2.1.0, please use this procedure better >>
After update, you will need to Save Permalinks in General settings again as single property page can show the error.
Please write us immediately if you have any issues or concerns about the update procedure. Our team will do our best to help you sort it out.
