What changed,
version by version.
Release notes from the IDX Bloom plugin, newest first. Version 1.5 is the current line.
Version 1.5.3 Latest
- Fixed: on themes with a narrow content column, the list and map view squeezed listing cards. The map now sits above the list when space is tight.
- Fixed: a typo in the sample listing descriptions, and the confidence percentage no longer wraps on the Pages screen.
Version 1.5.2
- Fixed: 1.5.1 could stop the search page with an error. Fixed the same day.
Version 1.5.1
- Fixed: on a search page with no filters, the address bar could gain a broken sort value.
Version 1.5.0
- Dashboard with mode, data source, pages bloomed, leads, AI visibility, CRM status and buyer activity on one screen.
- Leads inbox with filters, search, a plain-words lead summary (English and Spanish), CSV export and delete.
- CRM connections: GoHighLevel, Follow Up Boss, HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce, Lofty, BoldTrail, webhooks (Zapier, Make) and email, with automatic retry.
- AI Marketing studio (needs a license; listing text is only used when the listing-text setting is on).
- Buyer accounts: email sign-in link, favorites, saved searches, follow an area or building, and alerts (alert emails stay off until you turn them on).
- Map search with price pins, draw-an-area, near-me radius, sort, filter chips, shareable links and place suggestions.
- Search by street address, listing number or description words.
- Listing pages: photo gallery, map on tap, monthly cost calculator, WhatsApp and call buttons, request a showing, tour and share buttons.
- USD/MXN and ft²/m² switch for visitors.
- Spanish twin pages with hreflang, Open Graph share tags, and an optional contact-consent checkbox on the lead form.
Version 1.4.3
- Data control: if the data provider refuses a site, every cached listing is deleted at once and nothing is shown until access is restored.
- Data control: AI-written listing text is off by default until the provider confirms the MLS allows it.
Version 1.4.2
- Fixed: no See all link in Preview mode (its page is off until Go live).
Version 1.4.1
- Fixed: the admin logo could show an old cached image.
- Fixed: section tabs are styled on every IDX Bloom admin screen.
- Improved: plugin description, install steps and FAQ.
Version 1.4.0
- Added: Preview mode, the default for every new install. IDX Bloom shows itself only on one private page, using fictional sample listings.
- In Preview mode, planting, area, building and listing pages, robots.txt and sitemap additions, IndexNow, llms.txt, structured data, bot counting and tracking are all off.
- Added: leads from the preview page are saved as test leads and are not sent until you click Send test lead.
- Added: a banner on every admin screen with View preview page and Go live (with an on-page confirm step).
- Existing installs that had already bloomed stay live after updating.
Version 1.1.0
- Fixed: abbreviated prices such as $1M and $800k were parsed as $1 and $800.
- Added: an inline lead form after every planted grid and on listing pages, plus ItemList and RealEstateListing structured data for planted grids.
- Added: never render an empty grid; filters relax step by step before falling back to a search box and a lead form.
- Added: page-language detection, so Spanish pages render all front-end text in Spanish.
- Redesigned: front-end blocks and the admin screen with the new IDX Bloom look and brand mark.
Version 1.0.0
- Initial release.
Questions, answered
Which version is current?
Version 1.5 is the current line. It runs on the live demo and on a real agent site in Preview mode. Each release is listed here with what was new, improved or fixed.
Where do I update the plugin?
In WordPress, upload the newer idx-bloom.zip over the current one from Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin. Existing installs that had already bloomed stay live after updating.
How do I report a bug?
Use the contact form and say what you were doing and what you saw. We write back to the email you give us.
Does it edit my pages?
No. Listings are added when a page is shown, never saved into your content. Deactivate the plugin and every page returns to exactly how it looked before.
Is IDX Bloom live yet?
Plugin version 1.5 runs on the live demo and on a real agent site, in Preview mode. IDX Bloom is in pre-launch: it opens first in a small group of pilot markets, and live MLS listings need an approved data connection. You can start a free pilot, no card.
What does Planned mean?
Planned means it is not built. It is on our list, in no promised order and with no promised date.
