WP Real State – Bulk Editor, Export, Import, Advanced Search

If you’re a WP Real State user, we want to show you how you can simplify your listings’ management. What you will learn is to bulk edit WP real state listings.

As you know, this plugin allows you to create real state websites to show your properties to clients and allow them to make purchases, bookings, etc.

The problem is that if you have hundreds of listings, you probably spend a lot of time editing land, houses, buildings, etc.

For example, if you open only one of your listings with the normal WP Real State editor, you will have to deal with a somewhat complex editor (click the image on the right to expand it).

You see? It is confusing and complex.

What if we told you can avoid using that complex editor and instead edit your listings using an intuitive spreadsheet?

Well, we have great news. You don’t have to open and edit your listings one by one anymore. You can use a spreadsheet to edit your listings.

You can search and edit any of your listings’ fields in minutes using a bulk editor.

Not only that, but you can export all your real state listings to Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any other CSV editor. Also, you can import new listings and changes for existing listings in just some minutes. This way you can even edit all your listings offline or hire a person to edit them all using Excel or Google Sheets.

All these things and many more you can do with WP Sheet Editor, which allows you to create a listings’ spreadsheet bulk editor.
