Install Prop Nexia

Three install methods, in order of how easy they are.

1. From WordPress admin (easiest)

  1. WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New
  2. Search for Prop Nexia
  3. Click Install Now, then Activate

2. Upload the .zip

  1. Download from wordpress.org/plugins/prop-nexia
  2. WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  3. Select the .zip, install, activate

3. WP-CLI

wp plugin install prop-nexia --activate

Run the setup wizard

On first activation you’ll be redirected to the Prop Nexia setup wizard. It does four things:

  • Creates the pages you need (Properties archive, Projects archive, Area guides, Search page)
  • Sets URL permalinks for clean property URLs (/properties/marina-view/)
  • Sets your default currency, units (sqft or sqm), and country
  • Sets the lead notification email address
  • Optionally, imports demo content so you have something to test against

You can re-run the wizard anytime. Prop Nexia → Tools → Setup wizard.

Add your first property

WordPress admin → Properties → Add New.

Required fields:

  • Title — short, scannable. Example: “Marina View Apartment”
  • Listing type — Sale, Rent, Off-Plan, Short-Let
  • Property type — Apartment, Villa, Townhouse, Office, Land, etc.
  • City and community — Dubai → Dubai Marina
  • Beds, baths, area — in sqft applies
  • Price — in your default currency (set in settings)
  • Gallery — minimum 5 images recommended for portal compatibility
  • DLD permit number — required for UAE listings (Trakheesi/Madmoun field too)

Optional but recommended: floor plan, brochure PDF, video URL (YouTube or Vimeo), 360° tour URL, agent assigned.

Display listings on the front of your site

Three ways to show your inventory:

Shortcode

Drop the property archive shortcode on any page:

[pn_properties limit="12" purpose="sale" city="dubai"]

Gutenberg block

Editor → Add block → Prop Nexia Properties → configure visually.

Elementor widget

Elementor editor → search “Prop Nexia” in the widget panel → drag onto your page.

Add a search form

The search form is the most important component of a property website. Drop it on your homepage.

[pn_search style="hero" purpose="sale"]

Or use the Prop Nexia Search Form block or Elementor widget for visual configuration. No shortcode syntax required.

Full options in the shortcodes reference.

Receive leads

Every property page automatically has an inquiry form. When someone submits it:

  • The lead is stored in WordPress admin → Prop Nexia → Leads
  • An email notification is sent to the address you set in the wizard
  • If WhatsApp is enabled, the listing page also shows a click-to-WhatsApp button with the listing reference pre-filled
  • If Elite + CRM Webhooks is active, the lead is POSTed to your CRM endpoint within seconds
Test it before you launch. Submit a test inquiry on your own listing. Check that the email arrives, the lead shows up in admin, and (if Elite is on) your CRM receives the webhook.
