Palmetto has a recommended page structure which will help you organize your pages and templates. You can read more about the different templates on this post. This schema roughly matches the themes on this site.

The Listing Page Template currently relies on the plugin Advanced Custom Fields to supply information for the Property Information sidebar within the template. Property information like cost or monthly rent and the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and garage spaces.

Listing Information

In order to use this plugin, specific fields must be specified for the information to show up properly. These fields are:

• monthly_rent
• number_of_bedrooms
• number_of_bathrooms
• number_of_cars
• availability
• contact_link

Gallery Images

If you’d like to use Advanced Custom Fields to display an Orbit slider to display images on the Listing Template, you should have the following fields. Note that there are several available options for this task.

• gallery_image_1
• gallery_image_2
• And so on up until…
• gallery_image_19

The PHP code to import the Listing Information fields is:
if(function_exists("register_field_group"))
{
register_field_group(array (
'id' => 'acf_listing-information',
'title' => 'Listing Information',
'fields' => array (

The Palmetto theme uses a grid layout on multiple theme pages. By default, the featured image (if set) is used as a graphic on this grid. If no graphic is specified, one can set a website-specific placeholder.

The theme comes with a default placeholder image in greyscale meant to match any user-specified theme colors. These are located at assets/img/dft-placeholder-blog.jpg, for the blog placeholder image, and assets/img/dft-placeholder-listing.jpg, for the listing placeholder image. These images were made using Canva and the template can be found on my pblic profile page at https://www.canva.com/chrissybranso. These images can be customized to suite your specific theme colors. To use these images, upload them to wordpress, and changed in the WordPress customizer. More information about this can be found on the Palmetto Customizer Options post.
