WordPress IDX plugin questions, answered plainly
What is a WordPress IDX plugin?
It is a plugin that connects your WordPress real estate site to MLS listing data, so visitors can search and view homes on your site and leads come to you. The site owner or brokerage must be an authorized MLS participant.
Is IDX Bloom a plugin or a hosted website builder?
It is a WordPress plugin. You install it on your existing site, and it works with your current theme.
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
Its blocks disappear from your pages: listings and forms are added when a page is shown and are never saved into your content. The Search homes page that IDX Bloom added goes to draft and its menu link is removed (or your old search comes back). Delete the plugin and everything it added is removed.
Does a WordPress IDX plugin use iframes or real pages?
A traditional IDX plugin often puts listings in an iframe, while IDX Bloom makes real pages with structured data. That is one row of the comparison table, which describes common patterns, not any one product. A new site starts with sample listings first, and live MLS listings need approval.
Where do listings appear with a traditional IDX plugin and with IDX Bloom?
With a traditional IDX plugin, listings appear wherever you put a shortcode. With IDX Bloom they appear on the page they match. The table calls these common patterns, not any one product. A new site shows sample listings first, and live MLS listings need approval before they appear.
