Categories and Features

This is explanation of dynamic filter: features. This option is switchable in Listeo Core → Browse Listings → Make “features” taxonomy related to categories.
This option will make Features filter load only features terms that are assigned to selected category.

Listing categories and features can be configured in Listings → Categories or Features.

You can create separated listing features list for each category.

Radius Search

How it works? If someone types keyword/location field, and  select a distance value, the address will be geocoded to latitude and longitude and all properties that are in the selected radius of that point are returned in search results.

The radius search is effective and improves accuracy especially for cities.

How to enable?

You can use either Google API or Geoapify:

  1. Using Google API – you need to create Google Maps API Key restricted to your server IP: How to get Google API Key?
  2. Using Geoapify API: https://www.geoapify.com/geocoding-api/

Once you created new API Key, paste it to Listeo Core → Map Settings → Server-side Geocoding & Radius Search

 

Commissions and Wallet

How booking payments work in Listeo

Each booking is tracked and stored in WordPress Dashboard → Commissions, where you can manage bookings and orders and know how much you have to transfer back to listing owner. Payouts has to be made manually, an exception is Stripe Split Payment payout method:

Related article – Stripe Split Payments: https://docs.purethemes.net/listeo/knowledge-base/stripe-split-payments-support//

As an site administrator you can take fee for each booking service.

For an example: if the owner of a listing with an apartment booking service set a  fixed price of $50 for each day and you set 10% fee for booking service you will get $5 and pay rest ($45) to the vendor.

You can set commissions rate in Dashboard → Listeo Core → General 

Payouts can be managed in Dashboard → Commissions.

By clicking “Make Payout” button you will be redirected to the page with unpaid orders summary. After making payout orders you will be redirected to next page with payout summary/withdrawal details. All orders will be marked as “processed” in listing owner’s “Wallet” page and his “Withdrawable Balance” counter will be reset.

You browse payouts history and check details of each payout in Commissions → Payouts History

Payment method chosen by listing owner will be visible above commissions table. Money transfer has to be done manually by the site administrator.

Vendors (listing owners) have an additional “Wallet” page in the dashboard where they can check summary of their earnings from bookings, payouts history and set payout method.

Custom Comission

You can individually modify commission for each user by editing user details in WordPress Admin → Users

How to add paid listing /product listing package?

Paid packages are basically WooCommerce products. To add new paid listing package go to WordPress dashboard → Products → Add new, change the Product Type to “Listing Package“. Now you can describe package and configure it.

You can require users to buy a listing package before submitting a listing, to do this first make sure paid listings feature is enabled in Listeo Core → Packages Options → Paid listings

Except the standard Price and Discount fields, you’ll see 3 new:

  1. Listing Limit – set the number of listings user can add after buying that package. Leave empty for unlimited submissions.
  2. Listing Duration – set how long the listings are visible until they are expired
  3. Featured Listing? if this checkbox is marked, all listings added using this package will be marked with “featured” badge

How to edit existing package?

Simply navigate to WP Admin → Products, filter products by “Listing Package” and click edit.

You can edit the features and checklist there. You can also change the dummy text “Edit packages in WP Admin → Products” and create your own list in Listeo Package Details section

Renewable/Subscription Support for Listing Packages

If you want to charge your user weekly/monthly/yearly for having listings active on your site, Listeo has support for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin. After installing it, you will have new type of product “Listing Package Subscription” where you can configure how it should work on your site.

Extra Listing Package Options

The current list of options is:

  1. Booking Module –  makes setting booking options available in Listing and displays the Booking Widget in Single Listing Sidebar
  2. Reviews Module – adds option to review the listing
  3. Gallery Module – adds option to upload images to
  4. Gallery Images Limit – limits number of photos that can be uploaded to listing
  5. Social Links Module – adds option to set external social sites links
  6. Opening Hours Module – adds option to set Opening Hours and display them in the Opening Hours widget
  7. Video Module – adds option to add and display video in the listing
  8. Coupons Module – adds option to set Coupon for the listing and display it in the sidebar widget
  9. FAQ Section
  10. Dokan Store Access and Duration – Allow user to create and manage a Dokan vendor store with this package.

Those options are enabled for all listings by default, so if you want to limit some or all of them, first go to Listeo Core → Packages Options → Check module to disable it in Submit Listing form.

The modules you will check there will be now removed from Submit Listing Form and from Single Listing view, and will be only available if the Listing Package used to submit listing has those options.

To enable those elements in Listing Package, edit the WooCommerce Product and check with checkbox which elements this package allows.

How to make pricing package featured?

 

Dokan Store Access

You can allow user to create and manage a Dokan vendor store with paid package.

  1. Go to Listeo Core  → Package Options → Dokan Store Restrictions and enable “Restrict Dokan Store to Packages Only” and optionally “Apply restrictions to existing Dokan vendors”

  2. Configure package settings in WooCommerce product settings
  3. When user will try to access Dokan without having active package they will see only packages that have Dokan Store Access setting enabled

4. Upload Field
5. Checkbox
6. Multi Checkbox
7. Date Time

Search Forms Editor / Search Filters

Listeo features drag and drop filters forms editor. You can easily add new, rename or re-arrange fields. Go to Listeo Editor → Search Forms and choose search form which you would like to customize.

Related Article: Adding a custom field to a listing and using it as a search filter.


On the right, you’ll find searchable elements that you can drag to the left where you’d like them displayed. With our editor you’ve endless possibilities – you can for example switch a default dropdown to a multi-select and choose between default filter placement or a dropdown filter (e.g., price filter). In “Search on Half Map,” you can adjust the field’s width as well.

  1. Home Search Form Default – form used on homepage as seen there:
    https://listeo.pro/
  2. Home Search Form Boxed – airbnb search form style as seen there:
    https://listeo.pro/home-5/
  3. Sidebar Search – the default sidebar search as seen there:
    https://listeo.pro/list-with-sidebar/
  4. Search on Half Map Layout – form used on half-screen layouts as seen there:
    https://listeo.pro/half-list/
  5. Search in Header – form used in header:
    https://listeo.pro/home-2/


Custom Search Forms for Elementor Block

You can create multiple search forms on a single page, or if needed, you can have different homepages or landing pages, each with its own unique search form in Elementor block.

Search Form Shortcode

Alternatively you can use shortcode to display custom search form. For example we created “Test Form” for which shortcode will be [listeo_search_form source=”test-form”]

How does search by location works?

There are two ways the ‘location’ field in search can work. The presence of Google Maps API key for server side geocoding in Listeo Core determines which one is used.

  1. If the API key is added the address typed in ‘location’ field is geocoded to latitude and longitude and all properties that are in the selected radius of that point are returned in search results. The radius  value can be set by default in Listeo Core options (it’s 50km by default). Related articles: Radius search → 
  2. If there’s no API key added the search is strictly text based, the text typed by user is compared to the content of property, property title, and every custom field attached to property to find matching results.
    In Listeo Core → Browse/Search Options there is additional setting for location search without Google API.

    Example: Searching “New York, Manhattan, USA”
    – Basic: Finds listings with “New York” OR “Manhattan” OR “USA”
    – Broad: First tries “New York, Manhattan” (without country), then “New York AND Manhattan”, then individual fallbacks

    The broad method delivers more relevant results by prioritizing listings that match multiple location components.

Why do I get “Failed to import” message when importing demo content?

While importing demo content you might get a list of messages started with ” Failed to import xxx” – that is quite common and in most cases nothing to worry about.

This message will display for ” media” – the theme you’ve bought doesn’t included the images used in Theme Preview – those are stock images which cannot be redistributed – so we cannot allow you as end user to get them with the xml file, that’s why they are not imported and replaced with generic gray placeholder images.

The same message might happen for some post types or post attributes. For example if the demo of theme includes shop functionality, it’s added via WooCommerce. If you don’t have WooCommerce installed prior to importing demo content (because you don’t need it or you didn’t want it yet) – your WordPress simply doesn’t know there could by custom post type named “product” – so it won’t be able to import the products from demo XML, and the import tool with show each of the product as a “Failed to import“.

Setting Up Listeo Core

“Listeo Core” is the core plugin that powers listings and booking functionalities. You’ll find all the settings in Dashboard → Listeo Core.

All options are clearly described so we won’t be doing the same here. Go ahead and play with it on your website. 😉

How to speed up your website? 🚀

In this article, we will share useful WordPress speed optimization tips to boost WordPress performance and speed up your website.


Results achieved with WP Rocket caching plugin and Rocket.net hosting

The Basics

  1. Decent hosting
    No matter how much effort you put into optimizing your website, most of its success depends on the quality of your hosting. Even with a high-end VPS  your WordPress site might still not be as fast as you’d expect because website speed depends on several factors beyond just server resources.
    We recommend Rocket.net or Cloudways for resource demanding websites
  2. Caching plugin + lazy loading images 
    Free performance plugins you might try: WP Optimize or LiteSpeed Cache + Lazy Load
    Performance plugin that we tested and recommend: WP Rocket
  3. Cloudflare is a must-have; reducing load times by delivering cached content from servers closest to the user
  4. Don’t fix yourself on Google Page Speed Insights. The Google PageSpeed Insights score isn’t always a real reflection of a website’s actual speed because it mainly evaluates theoretical performance based on a set of lab metrics, not real-world user experience.
    Instead check your website performance at GTmetrix.com or SpeedVitals.com

WP Rocket Recommended Settings

  1. File Optimization
    ✅ Minify CSS files
    🟨 Optimize CSS delivery (if you notice any errors on your website after having activated this setting you should deactivate it as gains are not worth having visual glitches)
    ✅ Minify JavaScript Files
    🟨 Combine JavaScript files (you can enable it, but check that JavaScript still works properly afterward).
    🟨 Load JavaScript deferred (you can test however in some cases could cause issues with scripts)
  2. Media
    ✅ Enable LazyLoad for images
    ✅ Enable LazyLoad for CSS background images
    ✅ Enable LazyLoad for iframes and videos
    ✅ Add missing image dimensions
  3. Preload
    ✅ Activate Preloading
    🟨 Enable link preloading (you can enable it but this could be demanding on server because it downloads a page each time when a user hovers over the link)
  4. Advanced Rules
    ✅ Cache Lifespan set to 10 hours (or less if you experience issues with logging in via popup, if it still happens from time to time we suggest enabling “Skip additional login/registration security check” option in Listeo Core → Registration)
    🟨 Never cached URLs (use only if you notice the booking calendar shows incorrect availability)

    /listing/(.*)

    ✅ Never Cache Cookies:

    listeo_rental_enddate
listeo_rental_startdate 
listeo_rental_picker_enddate
listeo_rental_picker_startdate
  5. Database
    You can use every feature there to keep database clean.
    Revisions: Post editing screens may load slower with many revisions
    Transients: Most sites start seeing noticeable slowdowns with 10k+ transients
  6. CDN 
    Not needed if your hosting already has CDN.
  7. Hearbeat
    ✅Control hearbeat and set to “reduce activity”
  8. Image Optimization
    ✅     You can use Imagify from WP Rocket or EWW Image Optimizer

WP Rocket works with all hosting providers however, certain hosts (like SiteGround – you should disable File-Based Caching in their plugin) include their own caching plugins and you’ll need to adjust these built-in caching settings for optimal compatibility with WP Rocket.
