Getting started
Requirements & package
Server requirements, required plugins, and everything included in your download.
Server requirements
| Item | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.0 | Latest stable |
| PHP | 8.0 | 8.2 |
| MySQL / MariaDB | 5.7 / 10.3 | Latest stable |
| PHP memory limit | 128 MB | 256 MB (demo import downloads media) |
max_execution_time | 60 s | 120 s or more for demo import |
| HTTPS | Optional | Required in production (maps, geolocation, forms) |
If your host blocks outbound HTTP requests, demo images and exchange-rate sync will fail. Ask your host to allow outbound requests before you run Demo import.
Plugins
| Plugin | Status | Why |
|---|---|---|
| EstatePoint Core | Required — included in your package | Registers properties, consultants, inquiries, testimonials, taxonomies, currency handling |
| Elementor (free) | Required | Every page layout in EstatePoint is an Elementor document |
| Advanced Custom Fields (free or Pro) | Required | Powers the Listing details panel in the property editor |
| Contact Form 7 | Required | Sends the forms in the Contact widgets. Listing inquiries use EstatePoint Core’s own form |
| Elementor Pro | Optional | Only for Pro’s own Theme Builder workflow — no EstatePoint widget requires it |
After activating the theme, open EstatePoint → Required plugins. The screen lists each plugin with Active, Installed, or Not installed and installs the WordPress.org ones for you. EstatePoint Core is not on WordPress.org — upload it from your package.
EstatePoint Core is required, not optional. Deactivating it removes the property post type, so listings disappear from the front end until you activate it again.
What is in the package
| File / folder | What it is |
|---|---|
estatepoint.zip | The theme |
estatepoint-core.zip | The companion plugin (properties, consultants, inquiries, testimonials) |
estatepoint-child.zip | Child theme for code customizations |
| Bundled demo kit | Elementor library templates, sample listings, consultants, testimonials, posts, and pages — shipped inside the theme, installed from Demo Import |
languages/estatepoint.pot | Translation catalog |
| Documentation link | This site |
Bundled front-end libraries
These ship inside the theme under assets/vendor/ — nothing to install, no CDN calls, no API keys:
- Leaflet — map view and the homepage map hero
- Swiper — carousels and galleries
- GLightbox — photo lightbox
- Font Awesome — icon sets used by some widgets
- Plus Jakarta Sans — default typeface (Google Fonts choices are available in Theme Options)
Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap with an optional satellite basemap. Neither needs an API key.
Also good to know
- The theme is translation-ready with text domain
estatepointand ships RTL-aware styles. - Security switches for the WordPress side live under Settings → EstatePoint Security — see Security settings.
- Pretty permalinks are strongly recommended — browse URLs like
/properties/map/depend on them. - A fresh WordPress install gives the closest match to the live demo. Demo import never overwrites content you created yourself.
