Custom Admin Columns for Your Property Listings

The default WordPress Properties list shows only a handful of columns. Custom admin columns let you add any field as its own column, so the data you care about, price, status, bedrooms, a reference number, or any custom field, is visible right in the list. You stop opening each listing to check a value, and start managing your whole catalog at a glance.

What are custom admin columns?

Custom admin columns add the fields you care about as columns in the Properties list inside the WordPress admin. Instead of seeing only the title and date, you can show price, status, a property ID, or any custom field, so every important detail is visible without opening a single listing. Key columns like price and date are also sortable, so you can order your whole catalog in one click.

How to add admin columns

  1. Go to Real Estate Manager, open Settings, then Property Settings.
  2. Find the Admin Columns box, just below Admin Filtering.
  3. Add one field key per line, for example property_price, property_status, or any custom field.
  4. Save the settings.
  5. Open the Properties screen, and a column appears for each field you listed.

Columns show the data, and admin filtering narrows the list. Use them together for a complete listing management view.
