Examples for the new photo gallery
Version 5.60 of WP-ImmoMakler is here. We’ve significantly expanded and improved the plugin in several key areas. This post gives you an overview of the highlights of the update: from the completely rewritten image gallery to AI-powered text generation, a modern project unit table, significantly improved SEO output, and new elements for all popular theme builders.
A completely new image gallery based on Swiper JS
The gallery has been completely reprogrammed from scratch and now offers extensive customization options—both centrally in the WordPress Customizer and individually for each gallery instance.
In practice, this means for you:
You can create different gallery configurations for each template or even set up multiple galleries with different settings on a single page.
The new gallery is fully integrated with all popular page builders:
- Divi
- WPBakery / Impreza
- Elementor
- Bricks
New Gallery Styles
The Customizer offers preset gallery styles that you can select directly. In addition, the new gallery offers significantly more design options—please feel free to contact your agency or our support team for more information.
AI Text Generation (WordPress 7.0 and later)
The AI features for SEO titles, SEO descriptions, and property summaries have been significantly improved by providing the AI with structured property data:
-
Prompts are now fully customizable,
-
Pricing information, taxonomies, and features may be included in the texts, and
-
You can set the maximum text length.
⚠️ Please note:
-
The AI features are available only in WordPress 7.0 and later. They will remain disabled until you update to WordPress 7.0. If you need help with the WordPress update, please feel free to contact your agency or our support team.
-
To use the AI features, you would need to connect an AI model (Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI). This may result in additional charges from the provider.
New Project Unit Table (tabular representation of residential units)
Project detail pages now feature a sortable, responsive table view of all units. The columns (by default: Property ID, Floor, Room, Area, Price) are fully customizable; a colored status column shows at a glance whether a unit is available, reserved, or sold. The table is also available as a shortcode [immomakler-project-units] Available for manually created project pages.
Comprehensive SEO/AEO/GEO Overhaul
The Schema.org JSON-LD output has been completely revamped to ensure that your properties are easily found even in AI-powered search engines. New additions include:
- an ItemList schema for list views,
- Energy performance certificate data (final energy demand, energy efficiency class) as an amenityFeature,
- Neighborhood information in the address (e.g., “Berlin-Mitte” instead of just “Berlin”)
- The accommodation template now also includes the offer (price, currency, availability)
Schema.org support for many more object types:
- Retail (Store)
- Hospitality Industry (Food Establishment),
- Warehouse,
- Parking (ParkingFacility),
- Office,
- all other residential properties (Accommodation Fallback),
- Room, and much more.
Other changes:
- The event schema now uses the property's publication date instead of the current date,
- The real estate name in Schema.org now uses the SEO title instead of the full HTML page title
- All Schema.org options are now enabled by default; existing users will see a notification in their settings.
Theme Builder Extensions
Key Data Boxes with Icons
The key data boxes can optionally display icons above the label and value. A standardized SVG icon palette is available for Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Bricks, with automatic assignment based on the data field (floor area, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, parking space, year built, energy efficiency, price, etc.) and the option to override icons individually for each entry.
The layout of icons, labels, and values is now highly customizable
Bricks Extensions
-
the new Builder tag
{immomakler_property_images}(with the parameters:floorplans/:non_floorplans), -
a new Builder element called “Real Estate Results List” for displaying the real estate list alone in an archive template, as well as
-
Add a new element called “Key Data Boxes” with a configurable list of data fields, icons, separators, and box styling.
New Option for Elementor
- “Show Heading” for “Property List View (Complete)” and “Property Detail View (Complete)” to remove the page title if necessary
- New query ID `immomakler_exclude_current` for the Loop Grid and Posts widgets, to exclude the currently displayed property from other property lists on the detail view
New Gutenberg Blocks
With the new "Property List View" and "Property Detail View" blocks, you can now design property content directly in the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg)—without needing an additional page builder.
New WPBakery / Impreza Elements
Nine new builder elements are now available for WPBakery users: “All Property Details,” “Key Data Boxes,” “Property: Area Map,” “Property Description,” “Property Contact Form,” “Contact Information,” “Contact Photo,” “Energy Performance Certificate,” and “Videos.” This allows you to design detail pages with even greater flexibility and comprehensiveness.
Further improvement: Link the property images to “Dynamic Value: Advanced Settings: Images”
