A featured property is a listing that gets special visibility on your website. Featured properties are displayed first in various lists and sliders, helping them stand out to potential visitors.

Only the admin or registered users, depending on the submission settings, can make a property featured. The method depends on the Paid Submission Type configured in the theme.

Ways to Make a Property Featured (Based on Submission Type)

Membership Submission

If the Membership System is enabled:

• The admin creates membership packages that include a set number of regular and featured listings.

• A user purchases a package and can then list properties and mark a limited number as featured—based on their package.

• Membership packages have an expiration date.

Paid Listing (Pay Per Listing)

If Paid Submission is enabled:

• Users pay a one-time fee to publish a listing.

• They can optionally pay an additional fee to make the listing featured.

• These listings do not expire unless manually removed.

Free Submission

If Paid Submission is set to NO (i.e., property submission is free):

• Users cannot mark properties as featured from the front-end dashboard.

• Only the admin can make a property featured from the WordPress admin panel by editing the property and selecting “Make it Featured”

Featured properties are shown first in:

• Recent Items Shortcode

How to Identify Featured Properties

Featured listings are marked with a special icon or label on the top-left corner of the property image. The design depends on the card unit type selected in Theme Options.
