Cherry Data Importer

This plugin will help you export posts, comments, widgets, settings etc., from one site to another. With a single click of a button the plugin generates an XML file that can be imported to another website.

After the installation the plugin adds a new block - Demo Content where you can export or import the content.

Note: The images are not exported separately, they are downloaded from the server during the import.

File Import

To import the content, you need to upload the XML file and press “Start Import”.

Once the import begins you will see a box with progress bars.

After the import is complete you can view the site or customize it.

File Export

To export the data, you only need to press an Export button and an XML file will be created automatically.

Contact form 7

Contact form 7 plugin can manage multiple contact forms. It also lets you customize the form and the mail contents flexibly with simple markup.

Displaying a Form

Let\’s start with displaying a form on your page. First, open the "Contact -> Contact Forms" menu in your WordPress administration panel.

You can manage multiple contact forms there.

Just after installing the Contact Form 7 plugin, you’ll see a default form - “Contact form 1″ and a code like this:

[contact-form-7 id="1234" title="Contact form 1"]

Copy this code. Then open ("Pages -> Edit") of the page where you wish to place the contact form. A popular practice is creating a page named "Contact" for the contact form page. Paste the code you've copied into the contents of the page.

Now your contact form setup is complete. Your site visitors can now find the form and start submitting messages to you.

Next, let’s see how you can customize your form and mail content.

Customizing a Form

Title for this contact form is (1) which is just a label for a contact form and is used for administrative purposes only. You can use any title you like, e.g. “Job Application Form,” “Form for Event 2016/01/01″ and so on.

Shortcode for this contact form is(2). Copy this code and paste it into your post, page or text widget where you want to place this contact form.

Form Tab

Form editing the field (4). You can customize the form content here using HTML and form tags. Line breaks and blank lines in this field are automatically formatted with <br/> and <p> HTML tags.

An additional mail template is also available. It is called Mail(2) and its content can differ from the primary Mail template.

For more information, see Setting Up Mail page.

DsIDXpress

DsIDXpress is a plugin for WordPress that helps to embed live real estate listings (using what is known as Internet Data Exchange, or IDX) into their blog’s posts and pages using something WordPress calls shortcodes and into sidebars using the included widgets.

Important requirements to use this plugin:

You must be an active member with a multiple listing service (MLS). This means that anyone other than real estate agents and brokers (and, in some MLS’s, even agents are excluded) cannot use this plugin.
The executives at the MLS must be progressive enough to allow the data to be syndicated to your blog from our (Diverse Solutions) API.
Downloading and installing the dsIDXpress plugin is 100% free, but getting the data from your MLS is not. You can use the free demo data in the beginning and move on to obtaining your MLS’s data after you’ve evaluated it.

Your web host must be running at least PHP 5.2. PHP 5.2 has been out since 2006, so if they aren’t using PHP 5.2, they’re quite a ways behind the times. This is almost never an issue nowadays.
