Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/ds-emotion/dse-properties-pack/archive/refs/heads/main.zipShips its own WordPress updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.
Properties (plots / apartments / houses) as a WordPress CPT for DSE Blueprint
sites (2.2+): a property post type, a Scheme taxonomy, PHP-registered ACF
fields (plot number, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor plans, specification,
status), and a /properties/ archive + single pages.
It's a lean starter on purpose — designed to be built onto per site, not to fit every brief out of the box.
Install
- Copy
dse-properties-pack/intowp-content/plugins/and activate (requires ACF PRO; DSE Blueprint theme 2.2+ recommended). - Permalinks flush on activation. Add Properties and assign each to a Scheme.
- Optional: Tools → Properties Pack → Create sample content seeds one scheme with three example properties.
Scheme
"Scheme" is a taxonomy — it groups and filters properties and gives you a per-scheme archive for free, with no dependency on any other pack. If schemes ever need rich marketing pages of their own (hero, gallery, blocks), that's a separate Scheme/Developer pack; this one stays focused on the individual properties.
Updates
Self-updates from GitHub Releases (public repo, no token) — the DS.Emotion house convention (bundled Plugin Update Checker, wired in the main plugin file).
Extend, don't fork
The core is deliberately small. Add fields, relabel, or override templates from
your theme or a small site plugin — never edit the pack, so updates stay
clean. See CUSTOMISING.md.
Uninstall
Deactivation keeps content. Deleting the plugin also keeps content unless you opt in at Tools → Properties Pack.
