Yes. Featured properties maintain their own ordering among other featured properties based on the standard sort criteria (newest, popular, price). They just always appear above non-featured.
No. The featured flag only affects how properties display in listing pages, search results, and modules. Single property detail pages look the same regardless of featured status.
A maintenance release. Nothing about this add-on behaves differently, and there is nothing to adjust after installing it. It moves with the rest of the product so that every part of an installation carries the same release.
Nothing about this add-on behaves differently. Its site templates now travel with the add-on itself rather than living in the design, so exactly the same markup is rendered from a different place. A design still has the last word: where a design offers its own version of a template, that version is used, as before, and a site that has customised one keeps every customisation.
⚠️ This version requires core 7.1.0, which is the release that knows to look inside an add-on for its templates. The add-ons catalogue will not offer it to an older core, so update the core first.
The rest of the release is work inside the source that a site cannot observe: the English catalogue was rewritten into the form the WordPress directory extracts translations from, and comments were shortened. The fifteen languages this add-on ships are unchanged.
No change you will notice. This release rebuilds Featured Listings on the current engine: the markup it produces is now written the way each platform expects it, so nothing it prints can be mistaken for unescaped output. It adds no features and changes no behaviour — every page it draws was compared before and after, and they are identical.
No change you will notice. This release rebuilds Featured Listings on the current engine — escaping, scripts and styles now go through each platform's own pipeline — and adds no features and changes no behaviour. It is published so the add-on stays in step with the rest of the product.
Promoted listings — the ones you want seen first.
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:
