I've been trying to get my head around this product for weeks, the more I read, the less I knew. This has crystallised it all. Absolutely fantastic video!
Your videos have just made my day. I have been so stressed because I have a lot of types of posts and I am very poor at organizing content. You had just done that in a 51 minutes video tutorial. You won't even know what have you done for me. Thank you very very much.
Wow, this video is awesome. I've been searching and watching Jet Engine tutorials for days, but this is the best one I've watched so far. You explained everything from start to finish. Thank You very much.
Every time I watch one of your videos Paul I can honestly say that not one minute of my time is wasted. You explain things so well and always have such interesting content. Thank you very much for another excellent video. So appreciated!
The custom listing grid!!! I’ve wanted this so bad for my clients’ blogs and other custom post types. I’ve drove myself mental trying to get them to look how I want and paid a lot to have it done. So excited this is finally a thing! I know there are a few other plugins but they make it so needlessly complicated and not part of Elementors modules, at least none that I’ve seen. So excited about this! Made my day, thank you!
Great tutorial on JetEngine basics for listing site! I love your quick explanations of terms like "listing" and "loop" - have never heard them explained quite so well. :)
Thanks Paul. Dynamic content is something I am just getting into understanding as I have a project coming up that will require this. I've watched and followed your various videos on ACF and CPT UI and from a beginner's perspective JetEngine as an all in one solution that includes Custom Post Types, Taxonomies and Custom Fields in the one package seems a simpler solution. I will require relationships with a post being linked to a person and a person being linked to multiple posts, so a JetEngine video that includes that would be fantastic! Finally, I'd just like to say I'm new to dynamic content and a week ago the subject and all the terminology was complete gobbledygook to me. A week on and purely as a result of your videos and more importantly your delivery style, I have a really good grasp of this subject and how it all hangs together, especially with Elementor Pro. Keep up the great work!
Just to add, I will also need a reasonable search function so I will look into whether or not JetEngine have an add-on for this or if I can integrate something like Search and Filter Pro but again an advanced video including relationships and search would be great :-)
@@WPTuts Can you please release a tutorial on new Jetsmartfilters 1.6.0 Beta with new Hierarchy feature. We can now sort our search hierarchically. Can you please demonstrate it with Tour Operator website with nested tours that can be filtered only by city, country or region (Europe) ? As I know you do not yet have any travel websites tutorials. Thank you.
Crocoblocks is a great addition to a frontend developer's toolbox. It seems to elegantly replace CPUI and ACF. The obvious advantage is less plugins and less updates on plugins. Good video ,PaulC
Thanks, Paul. I think these tutorials come out pretty long and one of the reasons is that you explain basic terms like custom fields, taxonomies, slugs, etc for very beginner users. I would suggest making some small video tutorials just for these types of content and then linking to them on your most advanced videos. That could improve the flow a bit, I reckon...
George I’ve been using WP for 10 years, and I still find it to be a helpful reminder. I also listen on 2x and skip ahead if I think I got that part covered.
Paul, another great vid. Thank you very much. Would like to see more about the listings soon! Can I do filtering with these widgets similar to FacetWP?
I will cover the Listings in more detail soon, but I have also covered it previously just with ACF instead of JetEngine to create the fields. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_pFiicx7UFs.html As for FacetWP, I'm not 100% sure but I don't think so. FacetWP is configured to work with ACF so not too sure if JetEngine would be possible.
Hi Paul. I’ve invested in JetEngine and this was a fantastic intro, thanks. A few times throughout this video you referenced future more advanced videos you were going to produce on certain aspects. Is this still in the pipeline? Thanks.
Paul this one video changed my life ( I'm sure you are used to the praises by now ) but It did really change the direction to how I do Webdesign. Could it be possible to make a detailed followup video to this one as you have said? Something on the lines of Real Estate website with ACF beginner and advanced .
@WPtuts - Hi Paul as many people have said your videos are the best explanation on Jet Engine and Jet Plugins . I have followed this video to create a property daily rental website , but have run into some hiccups - 1- How do I make the custom taxonomy type pages - like Penthouses & Houses ? 2. I want to make a property type page - which I achieved by making a property type archive - but when i click on the property type it - instead of Pentouse listings - I still see the property types
Hi Paul thank you for another clear tutorial, you’re a lifesaver. Your playlist link isn’t working on here, wanted to go and see the more in depth features of the listing grid :)
Thankyou! I was pulling my hair out until this video, it's so easy to follow and understand. Even though I have a tour booking site I was able to relate to it. I'm using Elementor Pro, the Dynamic group of Jet Plugins and WooCommerce, which other videos would you recommend?
Hi Paul - A great learning experience in this video! Need your approach in achieving this with jet engine and whatever is necessary. I have two custom post types: say - Books and Authors - with a one-to-one relationship. I need to show in one table the entire listing as: Book Name | Book Type | Book Price || Author | Author Age | Author Location (all in one row as in a datatable)! How do we achieve this? I have seen your video related to listings and showing related data in a single post page, but am figuring our how to achieve this in one single table above. Thanks!
Evening Paul - many thanks for the enclosed - hope you are all well. Just wondering if you got around to creating the next video in this series looking at Jet Listings styling etc in greater detail. Noticed within your video at the end there with the custom listing items that the featured images pulled in were not equal height and I'm keen to hear what your solution was. Thanks again
Your videos have been so tremendously helpful,m and responsible for me moving forward with my current project, thanks so much for what you do! I’m developing a home building site right now and am still confused because they have individual “communities” that contain various “home plans.” My logic says both communities and home plans should be a CPT as they have their own dynamic content, but their current site is set up with the communities as taxonomies, not a CPT. Do you have any advice on this? It seems communities and home plans should be CPTS with a parent/child relationship while locations, Home styles, layouts etc should be taxonomies. I don’t know why I’m struggling to get my head around it but I want to make sure the site map and hierarchy’s work correctly.
Paul, can you not when adding it to the menu, just select 'properties' vs. Custom Link? If I'm not mistaken, you can click in the properties group, click on the 'view all' tab, and the option for 'Properties' will be at the top. Basically the same thing as what you're doing, but less manual steps.
Very good content Paul - this cleared up so much confusion for making custom post types and more. On the listing part, I would like to see how for example having multiple Event Items called "Coffee Mornings" can be created as individual its. Currently when adding a new event "coffee morning" I'm not sure how I can do this as the additions posts are also going to be called "coffee Morning" as this is what the event is. Hope this makes sense and you can offer one of your expert solutions for this, please.
Great video! And how do you set up listing photos to be all same in height afterwards? Or do you need to upload them all in the same dimensions? Thanks! :)
You're always better off editing your images prior to uploading, that way you can manage the actual crop and not have odd-looking images that may be cropped incorrectly by WordPress or any plugin.
Very helpful, however, I couldn't get a custom link to display the Archive, tried and tried then I noticed the "archive" was listed in the Post Type I had made which in my case was Vehicle Details, I added this to the menu and it seems to have done the trick. I must add that I am a beginner so I could have been doing something wrong. but I would like to thank you as your videos have been an incredible help Cheers Barrie
The link to the archive for a custom post type is normally the name you give it when creating the custom post type. For example, if your CPT is named Vehicles, the link will be /vehicles/ It's not immediately obvious and Elementor Pro doesn't really give anything away when creating a custom archive template.
WPTuts thanks again, never used elementor before or Jet Pack would still be scratching my head if it wasn’t for your tutorials, managed to get a basic outline for the cars done in a few hours www.cyberspacecars.co.uk long way to go yet as i chose Jetpack as oppose to Custom Fields and am now trying to learn from your Car Dealership website tutorials and use Jet Pack, anyway thanks for replying and i used your links to buy so 👍
Hi Paul, great tutorial but I've stucked on creating single "Properties" theme. After choosing "Single" in theme builder I have bunch of options but not Properties. In E Pro settings I have ticked "Properties" but it changes nothing. Did I miss something?
Paul your tutorials, are just amazing. Congratulations.... One doubt, where can I find your full tutorial where you build this Properties website. I saw in some other videos that you use pieces from the same site, but with more features. Will be nice to follow your steps. Thanks in advance.
Great video. I learned so much. I was able to set up a featured image and the gallery. But I was wondering how you would link a self hosted video through Jet Engine?
Each one has it's own unique flavour and tools but all 3 fundamentally achieve the same results. From a personal point of view I wouldn't choose one over the other, more a case of choosing the right one for the job. If you have the opportunity I would encourage you to try at least PODS and ACF out (as they are free) and see the differences. It's great to get a sense of perspective on the tools at hand so you can choose the right one for a given job.
@@24SevenMarketing Direct integration with Elementor, additional features like Listings, Admin Columns, Default WordPress post type tools and Gutenberg integration are a few of the very useful features that are included in JetEngine. You can do most of those things with extra plugins, but that does mean multiple plugins to achieve the same results. :0) To be hones, at $14 for a single site license, I think it is exceptional value for what it offers.
@@WPTuts thanks for the feedback.... yeah $14 is not a bad price at all ... as long as there is not an endless list of addon plugins that you need fo fully utilize the $14 version. What about using more than one if these plugins at the same time... is that possible? I find myself hesitating to commit to a specific plugin for custom fields and then having to go back and change everything if I find that one of the other plugins will work better for my application.
So I believe it's more this instead of jetsmart filters which I need, but can you also when you only choose to display the properties in the house category add a second taxomony, for instance pool, so it gives you only houses with pool ? Thx
I get confused when building the single listing page with JetEngine 2.6. Do I use the Theme Builder on Crocoblocks or the one on Elementor Themes? The tutorials are really confusing as the versions change and things just change. Is there a full tutorial for JetEngine 2.6?
The listing option within JetEngine is for creating the basic info including the image, title and price, not the single property page. Ie if you look at Airbnb and do a search for an apartments in Barcelona, all the results that show up all have identical format which is a listing template pulling in the data dynamically from the property posts and repeating in a loop. Once you click on one of these listings it takes you into the single property page. This page template for a single property you should make using E Pro theme builder Single Post Template and assign it to your post type of properties.
Thanks Man. You earn a subscription from me, its hard to get that :D!! Excelent explanation was wondering of how much I could do with jet engine as Im learning atm elementor. Been a Bakery user for 5 years, upgrading at 2020.
hi , Could you please do a full ecom site tutorial using all the Crocoblock famous plugins such as, filter, woo builder, menu, block, popup, engine so on ? really looking forward to such tutorial . longer the time better
Paul C, thank-you for your high-quality videos! You are an excellent teacher. I have a question about parameterized URLs. Can TWO parameters be included in a URL, with dynamic values that are taken from custom meta fields? The URL I'm working with is in a dynamic field and located within an iFrame. It pulls back an external page showing a Bible passage. The properties are the passage and the version (e.g. passage=Psalm 139 and version=NIV), and these already exist as custom metafields on the custom post type. The syntax of the URL is like "www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm+139%3A1-4&version=NIV" and, in this, you see the passage in the "search=" value and the version in the "version=" element. The field format, as it currently is setup, is shown below. It only has one variable. It uses the text string (%s) based on the "passage" metafield, and the version is hard-coded instead of dynamic. BTW: If there is already a video that covers adding multiple dynamic parameters to a URL, then just point me at that. I don't want to waste your time, but I've been spending hours trying to find this without success.
Hi Paul. Great video. I'm learning about Crocoblock from your Channel. Big thanks for your content. In this video, how did you style price and location meta field labels in the single post to be bold? Is it custom css?
Hey there, thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm learning a lot. But I'm stuck at 32:00 - after clicking in the "Single" tab and "Add New Single", the "Single" option is not showing up to me in the selector. That also makes it unable for me to select a Post Type. I've followed every step religiously, what could've gone wrong?
Thank you so much for all you do! You have really helped me build websites. You mention at 12:12 that you were going to create a more advanced video that would go into more details about "object type." I would be interested in seeing that video. Would you please tell me where I can find it? Thanks again!
I really, really like your postings! Thank you! Very much looking forward to the more advanced version of listing grid, that's where I am stuck at the moment. I would like the listing to show the other posts in same category as the active post. Sounds simple, right? But I can't get it to work.
Excelent video. Have a question please. In new Elementor Pro version (3.0.8) when I try to create new template (32:17) dont have single option and, of course, cant select Properties. Do you have some video or crocoblock help to continue without this option?? I mean, create custom post type (properties) and create single page template. Thanks
Can this same idea be used to create a listing of 125 churches with their addresses and pastors? If so, is there a tut that can help me figure out which order and how to do that? I want to add them to an interactive map also.
Great video! Thank you! Did you make a video that explains how to do the Penthouse and House pages already? If not, do you mind explaining the general idea? I'm trying to do the same in Jet.
Just came across the JetEngine videos today - looks great (and also great vids). My concern, however, is around the performance of the pages created - just looking at a random selection from Crocoblocks (assuming they use their own products) in Google Page Speed Insights throws up pretty poor results. (in the 18-28/100 range) Are there any examples you can share where JetEngine is used and the performance is top-notch?? Thanks Paul !!
It’s really tough. ACF I find far better UX but you need 4 or 5 plugins with ACF to achieve what JetEngine does. Then there’s the fact JE ties in seamlessly with SmartFilters, JetBooking, JetSearch, Wishlist etc.
Hello, thank you for the great tutorials. I have been following you for some time now and really your tutorials are really really good. I HAVE ONE QUESTION THOUGH. I want to show only those users added by the currently logged-in user. I have created a user listing and have specified the role that needs to be displayed using the Listing widget. Now I want to restrict the user list to only contain users that were added by currently logged-in user. (Like only show me, my employees, that I added.) I know there is a field "acfef_manager" that contains the ID of the user who created that user. I can also get users by using meta query inside user query of Listing grid. But that I'm not able to do dynamically. As I can only specify a static value for acfef_manager. How can I give it a dynamic value, current logged in user ID.??? I don't know if my question is clear but well here it goes....
I have created a project archive page using JetEngine, Custom Post Types and Advanced Custom Fields. It's working great, but I want to add a simple category filter at the top so people can filter out the projects by type. I do NOT need anything complicated (with checklists), just the category text running across the top but I can't figure out how to do this with either what I have already installed or with another plugin. Can you advise on how I do this?
Thank you for good tetorials. I want to create a travel agency I have used jet enigme but I don't know how to make options Last minute trips I ask for help tips maybe tetorial
Hi Paul, I have done everything in the video to create a Archive Template, however when I view the site, I do not see the listings and just see Term listings with no listings in it. what am I doing wrong?
Hello my teacher I wander if you can make a tutorial about the complete dynamic template for jet engine medical center . I need to understand how it done
Hi. I made a custom post type called "jobs" and after some days I changed slug options for listing. Now I only have the "Jobs" Post type item on dashboard but I am not able to add new items. No option.
hi wat better to go wit...crocoblock or dynamic plugin ? dos they have like wp-user-frontend-pro option or thay can work toghter ? one more q..can you do a tut about newsletter ?
Hey Paul, thank you very much for this tutorial! It's very clear and understandable even for someone who has absolutely NO experience with WP or JetEngine. However, I still have one last question. In the beginning you showed the subpages "penthouses", "houses" etc. (which I assume is the archive but pre-filtered). I can't find anything on the internet and would love if you could explain how to get these pages set up. Thank you in advance!
Corvin you need to create some property listings and assign them the taxonomy of penthouse or house (as relevant). You can then create the relevant archive page for each.
Hey! Important question, do you know how to make these posts types to defrence languges in simple way? I work with polylang but i see no option to translate the custom types posts
Hey Paul, did you know that there is no way to export content into a CSV that is in JetEngine fields? Also, importing must all be done in a very manual way? I just found this out as I was trying to build a large client site and ended up having to rebuild everything with ACF. Not sure if you knew but thought I would share. Thanks for all the videos you do!
Richard D I have. For imports, you can use WP All Imports but you have to manually add the field ID’s. Export however is impossible I’m told. At least that’s what Crocoblock support said
HI Paul here is a question for you i want to create a property website to list rental properties but I want to associate a contact/user/owner to each property (user created the normal way) either via post types, when I complete the new property entry as admin i want to select a drop down to the user that is associated to the property. (at the present time i use wp residence but want to move to elementor pro and jet engine. also for each property i would like to have a standard contact form displayed at the bottom of the property so viewers can contact owners direct but also cc me on the first email from the website.
How to limit the number of characters in a dynamic field? There are some very big names that we need to shorten in order to keep the design. How to do this?
I have a problem when i view my category archive on the front end. When its in the editor i have 3 perfectly sizes boxes but once i view it on the site the boxes shrinks to 1/3 the size, I could get 6 in a row instead of 3 thats how small the boxes are. Not sure what is controlling the size outside of the editor. Is it elementor? Where do i find the settings to make the boxes look like the editor? I mean iv played around in customizer > container nothing changes, iv played around with full width, contained, boxed etc nothing works.
Hi, I have 1 form, which is created in contact form 7. In this form, I have also put the option to add PDFs and images. Now I have to show this form in the front end in a table, in which I have to show the pdf file and image file also. Along with this, there should be an option to download this table and other files as well. How can this happen in WordPress? Somebody suggested to me, it can be done by Crocoblock. Can anybody explain this?
I see a problem in your listing grid and its the same as I'm trying to solve. The "Modern House" column (49.28) does not have the same height as the others because the content image has a smaller height. How do you set a fixed column height?
You can insert a spacer widget instead of the image, set that to the height you want for your images and then set the background of the widget to be an image, set it as a dynamic image and choose featured image. That should sort that out for you then. :)
Hi Paul, Thank you very much for the great tutorials! Is it possible to create prefilled content blocks which then can be selected within the posts from a CPT? So when adding a new post for a CPT it comes with an option to select one of the prefilled content blocks. Hope you can answer this. Thanks again for the great work! Cheers Richard
Like groups? This would be so good. I wanted to simply copy a CPT yesterday as I have one for rental properties and one for sale properties and the custom fields are very similar, sadly I tried everything but couldn’t find a way to do it. Being able to save groups of fields would make things much quicker.
how can i filter to show 1 type of category only in archive?and filter it? like yours you have 3 category and it will show all 3 category in 1 archive.
Hi - I've tried everything but your guidance for setting up the archive page isn't working, I am just getting a 'page not found' - I've created the page exactly as per your video and set up the custom link. Any advice much appreciated! Am running on the latest version of elementor. Thank you!
Just double check the url name. I noticed when I'm following along with this video and i'm building on my localhost that the url left out the sites name. So typing /properties/ into the custom link gave me back something like localhost:8888/properties/ resulting in a 404 Whereas you'd expect to see the websites name such as localhost:8888/sitename/properties/ If you're working on localhost this is probably the issue. Hope this helps.
I followed successfully up to 32:00 single post type, I only have 2 fields available and using elementor pro. The select post type is not available??? Anybody else experience this?? I'm unable to create a single post for my CPT? :/
This tutorial is great and all but how would you make it so that, you could allow people to post properties with the example you made on to your website, and you can approve and deny and even charge for some listing, based on some parameters you set? Would it be possible to create a directory listing with this plugin?
I think you may have missed the point of the video. This is simply a beginners introduction to the basics. What you're referring to building is considerably more complex. I'd recommend doing a search on the channel for building a business directory with front end submission and there's a tutorial here on doing that but with ACF and not JetEngine. However, you could take a similar approach as covered in that video and use JetEngine and PAFE to do something similar.
Hello Paul, can you please help me with an issue? I've followed every step that you mentioned and I can't see my Archive Page by just creating a Custom Link menu like you did /properties/. It just keeps redirecting to my home page. At JetEngine CPT I've set has archive and also choose it correctly at Elementor Templates conditions. Any ideas on how can I finally show my Archive Page?
Greate video sir, can you please help me with this - when I am trying to create a new single template with elementor pro for custom post type then it does not show the ( select post type ) Tab so, please help me with this.
