FWRE Latest Module
FW Real Estate tutorial for WordPress
The FWRE Latest module displays a curated slice of your property listings anywhere on your site — the newest additions, the most-viewed, a random selection, or whatever a category, type, or status filter narrows down to. It is the standard way to promote listings on pages outside the main listing view.
Use Cases
- Featured properties on the home page. Show the six newest listings as a rotating slideshow to greet visitors with fresh inventory.
- Sidebar on a listing page. Display the five most-viewed properties from one category as a vertical list alongside search results.
- "Just sold" strip. Ordered by Recently sold, this becomes social proof — evidence your agency closes deals, not just lists them.
- Open-house highlights. Filter to properties with an upcoming open house to drive attendance.
- Compact map on any page. The Map layout places an interactive map of selected properties wherever you need it.
Placing the Module
On WordPress, add the FW Real Estate — Module block and set its key to latest. Alternatively, use the shortcode [fwre_module key="latest"] in any post, page, or widget area that accepts shortcodes.

Layouts
- Vertical — A stacked list; the natural fit for a narrow sidebar.
- Horizontal — Cards side by side; suited to a full-width band across a page.
- Slideshow — One card at a time, auto-rotating on the Slideshow pause interval.
- Map — A compact map with a pin per property; clicking a pin opens a mini property card.
Notes
- Filters combine. Category, type, status, featured, and open house all narrow together. A single module can show something as specific as "featured apartments for rent in one category, newest first".
- Recently sold / Recently leased ordering sorts by when the status last changed, so the strip stays current automatically. Both options require the Status Labels addon.
- The Map layout requires a map key — the same key used by the Map View addon, configured in its settings. Without a key the map will not render.
- A property with no photo falls back to the default property image set in Configuration → General → Image settings, so no card ever renders blank.
To install this addon, open the Add-ons panel inside FW Real Estate. See Getting Started → Add-ons for details on free addons, paid addons, and site verification.
