    We are looking at using Kadence for an upcoming project and curious how flexible it would be for a site that focuses on Real Estate. Would there be areas that could be problematic? For example creating a customized archive page for custom post type with some ajax of filtering. I would also like to be able to tag individual listing with a Sold or Leased flag that would display on the archive cards and the single listing view.

    Thoughts or direction on how this could be achieved would be much appreciated.

    Hi there!

    The Kadence theme has a collection of starter templates and you might want to see if this is something you can use – https://www.kadencewp.com/kadence-theme/starters/real-estate-agent/

    One thing that can be time-consuming is finding the right plugin for the real estate listings to work seamlessly with your chosen WordPress theme.

    For real estate listings, you can look at plugins that can help you with your intended functionalities. This post can help – https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/best-wordpress-real-estate-plugins/.

    Thanks for the feedback, not sure I will be able use that theme directly. What I am wondering is the customization parts in my original thread:

    • Creating customized a archive page for custom post type with ajax filtering – how would this be done? I normally build custom themes using custom templates with associated functions and styles (sass) for any special behavior.
    • Display a ‘Sold’ or ‘Leased’ flag that would display on the archive cards and the single listing view. I would probably use a custom field to set the flag, but how is the frontend handling something like this?

    Hi there!

    Creating customized a archive page for custom post type with ajax filtering

    Archive pages of any theme should have a template to follow. The base is that the posts/CPT posts will be listed there.

    For AJAX filters, I also think you should be using a plugin for that unless you override theme files to insert your own filter.

    If you still want to use the Kadence theme and do your own customizations, make sure to use a child theme.

    On the other hand, we have the Kadence Blocks plugin and a PRO add-on. In PRO, we have the Post Grid/Carousel block. This block can list down posts and be filtered by taxonomies. Here’s a sample – https://share.zight.com/8Lu65b97.

    Display a ‘Sold’ or ‘Leased’ flag…

    Sorry for missing this. Using the Kadence Theme Pro’s Hooked Elements and Kadence Blocks Pro might be useful for you. There’s an option to override the post loop item template for archive pages in the theme pro add-on.

    For dynamic content, Kadence Blocks Pro can help. Here’s a video of how you can do that – How To Make Custom Archive Pages With Kadence Theme Builder For WordPress.

    I hope this helps, and let us know if we can help you further.
