Customising the detail view

The appearance of the individual property detail page (exposé) is managed centrally in the WordPress Customizer. There you can see your changes immediately in the live preview before saving them.

Accessing the Customizer

Open the Customizer in your website’s backend (wp-admin) under Appearance → Customize. WP-ImmoMakler adds its own section WP-ImmoMakler with the subsection Property Detail View.

Layout and Width

These options determine the basic structure of the detail page – width, column arrangement, and map display.

Option	Description
Maximum width of the detail view (px)	How wide the detail view should be at most (default: 1,300 px).
Number of columns	Single or two-column layout of the detail page (default: 2 columns).
Display image gallery at full width	Two-column layout only: displays the image gallery across both columns instead of just the right column. This setting does not affect the internal layout of the gallery itself.
Map height in px (detail view)	Height of the location map in the detail view. Set to 0 to define the height individually via CSS instead.

Show and Hide Content

Specify which content areas appear on the detail page.

Option	Description
Show summary (excerpt)	Displays the summary text (post excerpt) of the property as a highlighted paragraph below the subtitle. The brief summary gives visitors a quick overview and is optimised for search engines and AI answer systems (AEO/GEO). If no excerpt is stored, nothing is output.
Show floor plans in a box of their own	Displays the property’s floor plans in a dedicated “Floor plans” box directly below the contact box. Unlike in the gallery, floor plans there are displayed uncropped and at full size, with their title as a caption; clicking opens the floor plan in the lightbox, where you can browse through all floor plans. Properties without floor plans show no box. Disabled by default – see Floor plans in a box of their own.
Show contact details in exposé	Shows the contact person block with contact details in the detail view.
Automatically display custom OpenImmo fields	Automatically displays custom fields from the OpenImmo import (user_defined_simplefield, user_defined_anyfield).
Suppress street names and house numbers of properties	Hides the street and house number in the details and on Google Maps. If “Release address” is already disabled in the estate agent software, this data is not imported at all.
Show contact details	Choose which individual contact fields (e.g. name, phone, email) appear for the contact person. Detailed guide: Customising contact details.
Show similar properties in the detail view PLUS	Automatically displays a block of similar properties below the detail view. Details: Similar Properties.
Number of similar properties PLUS	How many similar properties are displayed (1 to 4); also determines the number of columns in the row.

Tip

Maintain the summary text manually or have it generated automatically from the property data with the active AI Features PLUS.

Floor Plans in a Box of Their Own

On import (e.g. via OpenImmo), WP-ImmoMakler automatically detects floor plans and distinguishes them from photos. By default, the image gallery shows both together. With the Show floor plans in a box of their own option, floor plans instead get their own box directly below the contact box:

• The floor plans appear in a grid of up to two columns, which reduces to a single column on narrow screens.
• Each floor plan is fully visible – nothing is cropped, not even for portrait-orientation images.
• The floor plan’s title from the estate agent software (e.g. “Ground floor”) appears below it as a caption.
• Clicking opens the floor plan in the lightbox, where your visitors can browse through all of the property’s floor plans and zoom in. The lightbox follows the Open Lightbox on Click setting of the image gallery.

To prevent floor plans from also appearing in the image gallery, set its image selection there to Exclude floor plans.

Note

This box is part of the WP-ImmoMakler skin. If your child skin plugin overrides the single/content-property.php file, include the box there yourself: immomakler_get_template_part( 'single/floorplans', 'property' );. In page builder layouts, use the respective builder’s gallery element instead, with the Grid static layout, the Show in full image fit, and the image selection set to Floor plans only – see Grid.

Format Description Texts

WP-ImmoMakler can automatically clean up and uniformly format the description texts imported from the estate agent software.

Option	Description
Remove HTML from description texts	Removes existing HTML and outputs the texts with clean p, br, strong and b tags (uses wpautop()).
Convert bullet points to “ul” elements	Automatically converts lists in the description text into real HTML lists.
Indent bullet points slightly	Indents bullet points a little instead of aligning them flush with the text.
Apply typographic improvements	Displays metre, square metre and percentage values uniformly and separates them with a narrow non-breaking space.
Convert URLs in description texts to links	Detects URLs and email addresses and converts them into clickable links.
Convert phone numbers in description texts to links	Automatically converts phone numbers into clickable tel: links.
Standardise phone number prefix	Standardises the country prefix of phone numbers (e.g. +49 …, 0049 … or 0…); takes the country into account.

Box Layout

The content areas of the detail page are displayed in boxes (panels). Use the following options to customise their appearance.

Option	Description
Show borders	Shows or hides the border around the boxes.
Border colour	Colour of the box border (default: #dddddd).
Corner radius in pixels	Radius for rounded corners. Choose 0 for sharp corners.
Box heading background colour	Background colour of the box headings (default: #f5f5f5).
Box background colour	Background colour of the boxes (default: #ffffff).
Light shadow around boxes	Gives the boxes a more three-dimensional appearance.
Box shadow brightness	Brightness of the box shadow (185–254).

Colour Status Bars

Configure the status bars (“new”, “top property”, “sold”, etc.) in the detail view in the Customizer under WP-ImmoMakler → Colours under Default colour of status bars (detail view). With the option Use extra colours for each status you can set your own colours for “sold/let”, “reserved” and “new”.

WP-ImmoMakler Notice

With the option Show WP-ImmoMakler notice you can display a subtle note at the end of the detail view indicating that the view was created by WP-ImmoMakler.

Further Customisations

Customisations beyond the Customizer options can be made via CSS or template override in the WP-ImmoMakler Child Skin Plugin. This ensures your changes are retained during plugin updates. CSS rules go in the immomakler.css of the child skin plugin – start with an empty file and only add the styles you actually want to override.

Note

The Customizer settings themselves are automatically retained during updates.
