Admin Filtering for Your Property Listings

When you manage dozens or hundreds of listings, scrolling to find the right one wastes time. Admin filtering adds filter controls to the top of your Properties screen in the WordPress admin, so you can narrow your listings by type, purpose, status, price, or any field you choose. You decide which fields become filters, and finding a property takes seconds instead of minutes.

What is admin filtering?

Admin filtering is a backend productivity feature for the people who manage your listings. By default, the WordPress Properties screen is just a long list. With admin filtering, you add dropdown and input filters above that list, drawn from the fields you pick. Choose a property type, a purpose like rent or sale, a status, or a price, click Filter, and the list shows only the matching properties. It works with the standard fields and with the custom fields you built, so you filter by exactly what matters to your business.

How to set up admin filtering

  1. Go to Real Estate Manager, open Settings, then Property Settings.
  2. Find the Admin Filtering box.
  3. Add one field data name per line, for example property_type, property_purpose, property_status, or property_price.
  4. Save the settings.
  5. Open the Properties screen, and a filter appears for each field you listed.
