How-To Guide
How to display property units on your WordPress website
Displaying property units effectively on WordPress means more than a list of rooms. Buyers want to see which units are available, compare sizes and prices, and make enquiries about specific units — without back-and-forth emails. This guide shows two complementary ways to display units: a visual building map and a filterable flat list.
Step by step
Follow these steps
Decide how buyers will explore your units
Interactive Real Estate offers two shortcodes: [irep_project] for a visual building map where buyers click on units directly on an image, and [irep_flats] for a filterable list of units with price, area, and status columns. You can use either or both on the same page.
Install Interactive Real Estate
Search for 'Interactive Real Estate' in the WordPress plugin directory and install it free. No configuration wizard — you go straight to creating your first project.
Create a project and add your units
Create a new IRE project and add each unit as a 'flat'. Enter the unit name, price, area, number of rooms, floor, and current status. For the visual map, also draw a polygon over each unit on your floor plan image.
Set availability status for each unit
Mark each unit as available, reserved, or sold. On the visual map the polygon colour changes to reflect status. On the [irep_flats] list, a status badge appears next to each row. Buyers can filter to show only available units.
Embed the shortcode on your page
Use [irep_project id="X"] for the visual map, [irep_flats id="X"] for the filterable list, or both on the same page. Paste into any WordPress editor — Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery.
Update unit status as sales progress
When a unit is reserved or sold, update its status in the IRE admin. The map and list both reflect the change immediately for the next visitor — no developer involvement needed.
