Home Page General
Go to Pages > All Pages > Homepage. Click to Edit it.
- Look at the WordPress Settings – click the Gear icon – in the upper right.
- Click Document (not Block) just below the Gear icon.
- Near the bottom is Page Attributes and Template. The template selected should already be “No Sidebar Wide.”
- This template is best to use when you want to use a full-width content on a page, but you can choose other templates, if you like.
Before Adding the Featured Properties Section

- You will also want to set up the IMPress for IDX Broker plugin before adding your Featured Properties.

- At the top:
- Alignment is Wide Width
Inside the First Group Block, add:
- Heading Block - H2, Align text center
- Paragraph Block - Align text center
- Spacer Block - 30px
- IMPress Showcase Widget block with Default settings
To Edit the IMPress Showcase Widget Block Settings
As installed, Default IMPress Showcase Widget Block Settings
By default, the IMPress Showcase widget block is set up to use you Featured or Active listings.
If you don't have any Active listings, it will say "No properties found."
You can remove the block and add it back later from the Block Patterns.
Or you can create a Saved Link and use it to feature properties - See the next section.
