Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I get MLS Grid API access?

    Apply directly at mlsgrid.com. Access requires MLS membership and approval from your MLS board. Once approved, you receive an OAuth client ID and client secret. Approval typically takes 1–3 weeks depending on your board.

  • Which MLS boards are available through MLS Grid?

    MLS Grid aggregates 200+ US MLS boards. Available boards depend on your MLS membership. Log in to the MLS Grid portal to see which boards are accessible under your credentials. Most major US metro markets are represented.

  • Can I import multiple property classes such as Residential, Commercial, and Land?

    Yes. The connector supports multiple resource classes. During setup you select which classes to import, and each runs as a separate import pass. All results are unified in the FW Real Estate property list.

  • How often should I run the import cron job?

    Most MLS boards refresh data every 15–60 minutes. A cron interval of 30–60 minutes is recommended for near-real-time listings. The plugin fetches only records changed since the last run, so frequent runs are efficient.

  • What happens to listings that are sold or removed from the MLS?

    On each import run the plugin identifies listings no longer returned by the feed and automatically unpublishes or deletes them according to your cleanup settings. No manual intervention is required.

Grow a real estate business on a website that publishes live MLS listings and sends every lead straight to you.

FWRE MLS Grid Connector Changelog

All platforms

Version 3.1.6 (26 Oct 2026)

Version 3.1.6: 2 fixes.

Bugfix: Feeds on sites upgraded from version 6 use their old default country, MLS Grid record filter, Spark featured rule and last import date again. A listing that arrives without a country is filed under the country set for its feed, MLS Grid imports only the records its record filter matches, Spark marks a listing as featured by its featured field and value, and the import panel shows when the feed last ran in version 6. The MLS Grid and Spark settings now offer the country, and Spark the featured field and value.

Bugfix: MLS Grid keeps the categories you chose before upgrading. On a site upgraded from the previous version, the MLS Grid settings now show each property type in the category you picked years ago instead of "Do not import", and saving the settings keeps them, so your feed goes on importing.

Version 3.1.5 (09 Oct 2026)

Version 3.1.5, a hotfix: 1 fix.

Bugfix: MLS Grid photos keep downloading. MLS Grid now asks every photo download to send your access token, and the add-on does that now. Without it, MLS Grid may refuse the photos.

Version 3.1.4 (18 Sep 2026)

No change to how this add-on behaves. Released together with FW Real Estate 7.1.4 so that the update server holds the current build.

Version 3.1.3 (15 Sep 2026)

The default field mapping now uses standard RESO field names.

A new mapping starts from fields a RESO feed can send, among them stories, lot size in square feet, the elementary school district, pets allowed, lease term, and gross income, operating expense and cap rate for investment listings.

A mapping you have already saved is not changed. Your field choices stay exactly as you set them.

Version 3.1.2 (02 Sep 2026)

No change to how this add-on behaves. Nothing a site can observe is different: the English catalogue was rewritten into the form the WordPress directory extracts translations from, and comments inside the code were shortened. The fifteen languages this add-on ships are unchanged.

Published so that what the update server holds matches the product exactly.

Version 3.1.1 (25 Aug 2026)

The categories this feed imports into now survive an upgrade from version 6. Everything in the property catalogue was renumbered by the upgrade, and this add-on's category settings still held the old numbers — which in the new catalogue belong to entirely different entries. The importer did not report anything wrong: it ran, and filed every property under nothing at all, so listings arrived and appeared in no category.

The settings are now re-pointed when the add-on is installed. Where a category no longer exists, that part of the feed is switched off rather than guessed at, so the importer tells you it needs configuring instead of importing into limbo.

Requires FW Real Estate 7.0.4 or newer. Update the component first: on an older one this add-on installs and the re-pointing simply does not happen, with nothing to show for it.

Version 3.1.0 (23 Aug 2026)

Photographs are imported again. A listing brought in by this feed arrives with its images, as it did before the 7.0 rebuild. Photographs are fetched only for a property that has none, or when the run is set to update existing records, so a routine import does not re-download what you already have — and a photograph that fails to arrive no longer counts as a failed listing.

Requires FW Real Estate 7.0.2 or newer. Update the component or plugin first; this add-on will not install onto an older one.

Version 3.0.0 (17 Aug 2026)

The MLS Grid feed importer.

FW Real Estate 7.0 rebuilds the product on a new cross-platform engine. What this add-on does for you is unchanged — the features you use in 6.x are the features you get here. What is new is where it runs and how it reaches you:

  • It runs on WordPress as well as Joomla, from the same code, so both editions stay in step.
  • It has a version of its own. On Joomla that means it is delivered and updated from the store on that version, instead of arriving whenever the component happens to ship a release that bundles it. On WordPress it arrives inside the plugin if it is one of the free add-ons, or in the subscription pack it belongs to.

See the component release notes for the 7.0 story and for how to bring your data across.
