Getting started
After import
Regenerate Elementor CSS, set brand colors, replace demo content, and check the site before launch.
Immediately after import
- Elementor → Tools → Regenerate CSS & Data. Imported templates carry stale generated CSS until you do.
- Clear every cache — hosting cache, CDN, page-cache plugin, then a hard refresh in your browser.
- Settings → Reading — confirm the static front page and posts page are the imported ones.
- Appearance → Menus — confirm the primary and footer menus are assigned to their locations. If you switched to the child theme after import, they will be empty here.
- Visit the front page,
/properties/,/properties/map/, a single listing, and a blog post.
Make it yours
| Step | Where |
|---|---|
| Brand colors and typography | EstatePoint → Theme Options → General |
| Logo, navigation, header actions | The bound header library template — see Header & footer |
| Footer columns, contact details, copyright | The bound footer library template |
| Homepage sections | Edit the front page with Elementor |
| Which listings appear in homepage grids | EstatePoint → Featured Content |
| Currency and exchange rates | Theme Options → Currency & FX |
| Where listing inquiries are emailed | Settings → General → Listing inquiry routing (agency inbox) |
Replace demo content before launch
- Sample listings, consultants, and testimonials — either edit them into real content or remove them from Demo Import.
- Demo photography is licensed for demonstration. Replace it with your own before going live.
- Legal pages are placeholders. Have them reviewed.
- Contact details appear in the footer template, contact page, and consultant profiles — update all three.
Pre-launch checks
- Permalinks: Settings → Permalinks → Save Changes once more if any browse URL 404s.
- Map pins: listings need latitude and longitude to appear on the map. Set them from the map picker in the listing editor.
- Forms: submit a test inquiry and confirm the email arrives — see Inquiries.
- Search: type into the hero search and confirm suggestions appear.
- Mobile: check the header drawer, filter drawer, and map view on a phone.
- Site title and tagline: Settings → General — they appear in fallback branding and email subjects.
Moving settings between sites
Theme Options → General → Settings backup exports brand colors, typography, listing UI preferences, and — optionally — slot bindings and layout manifests as a JSON file. Import it on another site with Merge (recommended) or Replace exported groups on this site.
Keep Skip template post IDs checked when moving between sites: post IDs differ per install, and importing them binds your slots to templates that do not exist.
It does not carry Elementor templates, pages, menus, or media. For a full site move use a database and uploads migration; for a fresh build use demo import.
