Listings

Listing media

Featured image, gallery, floor plans, video, virtual tours, documents — and how media is cleaned up.

Featured image vs gallery

They are different jobs.

Always set a featured image. A listing without one shows a placeholder wherever it is referenced.

Listing card crop sets the focal point for card thumbnails, so a portrait photo keeps its subject when a wide card crops it.

Gallery

Press Manage Gallery in the Photos & gallery panel to add images, then drag thumbnails to reorder. The first gallery image is the one visitors see first on the listing page.

Recommended: landscape photos at 1600px wide or more, JPEG, compressed before upload. WordPress generates the smaller sizes it needs.

Floor plans

In Listing details → Video, plans & tour, each floor plan row takes an image plus Floor name, Size m², Bedrooms, and Bathrooms. The listing page renders them as a set visitors can step through.

Available on residential and commercial listings.

Video and virtual tour

Both render through the Property Video / Virtual Tour block on the listing page. Leave one empty and only the other card appears.

Documents

Listing documents takes up to eight files — floor plan PDFs, energy certificates, brochures — each with a Link label shown on the button. They render through the Property Downloads block.

Do not upload anything you would not publish: these links are public, with no login check.

Media cleanup

EstatePoint removes orphaned listing media for you. When you remove a photo from a gallery, a floor plan, a document, or a featured image, and no other listing uses that attachment, it is deleted from the Media Library. Trashing or deleting a listing purges its bound media the same way.

This keeps a site with hundreds of listings from accumulating thousands of unreferenced files. If you deliberately share one image across a listing and a page, the shared attachment survives — the check looks for other users first.

If your workflow depends on keeping uploads after removing them from a listing, a developer can disable the purge with the estatepoint_property_media_purge_enabled filter. See Developer reference.

Location cover images

Location terms carry their own Cover image, used by the Featured Locations block and location cards. Set it on the term under Properties → Locations, not on a listing.

Performance notes

• Compress before upload. A twelve-photo gallery of 5 MB originals is a slow listing page no caching plugin fixes.
• Turn on Theme Options → Images → WebP image sizes to add a WebP copy of every size WordPress generates. Your originals are untouched, and browsers that cannot read WebP still get the original format.
• Galleries and carousels load lazily, so photo count affects page weight far less than photo size does.
