Shortcodes Properties grid

Properties grid

Last updated: December 12, 2025

Please note that there’s also documentation and copy/paste links to easily copy shortcodes within the plugin itself, at Rent Fetch > Settings > Property Settings > Property Shortcodes.

Wanting to customize this completely? Here’s how to replace this layout with a fully custom one.

The [rentfetch_properties] shortcode displays a grid of properties based on specified criteria.

Usage

[rentfetch_properties posts_per_page="12" city="Denver,Colorado Springs" propertytypes="apartment,condo"]

Parameters

  • posts_per_page (optional): Number of properties to display per page. Default is -1 (all properties).
  • propertyids (optional): Comma-separated list of specific property IDs to display.
  • city (optional): Comma-separated list of cities to filter by.
  • propertytypes (optional): Comma-separated list of property type slugs to filter by.
  • propertycategories (optional): Comma-separated list of property category slugs to filter by.

Description

This shortcode creates a responsive grid layout of properties. Each property in the grid displays using the standard property archive template, which typically includes:

  • Property image
  • Property title
  • Key details (beds, baths, price range)
  • Link to full property page

The grid automatically applies CSS classes for responsive design and can be styled using the .properties-simple-grid CSS class.

Filtering

You can combine multiple filters to create specific property collections:

  • By Property IDs: Display only specific properties
  • By City: Show properties in specific cities
  • By Property Type: Filter by apartment, condo, house, etc.
  • By Property Category: Filter by luxury, affordable, pet-friendly, etc.

Examples

Display all properties:

[rentfetch_properties]

Display 6 properties per page:

[rentfetch_properties posts_per_page="6"]

Display properties in Denver and Boulder:

[rentfetch_properties city="Denver,Boulder"]

Display only apartments and condos (if these are configured propertytypes slugs):

[rentfetch_properties propertytypes="apartment,condo"]

Display specific properties:

[rentfetch_properties propertyids="p001,p002,p003"]

Complex filter combination:

[rentfetch_properties posts_per_page="9" city="Denver" propertytypes="apartment,luxury" propertycategories="pet-friendly"]

This would display up to 9 properties that are in Denver, are either apartments or luxury properties, and are pet-friendly.

Notes

  • The property search shortcode requires JavaScript for full functionality (you can’t filter anything without reloading the page without JavaScript)
  • Property types and categories must match the slugs defined in your WordPress taxonomy settings
  • Property IDs should match the ‘property_id’ meta field values (NOT WordPress ID values)
  • Cities are matched against the ‘city’ meta field values

For more advanced customization, a wide variety of filters exist which can replace the entire display of a property in this context or can modify any of the components individually.
