FAQ

What is IDX?

Internet Data Exchange, or IDX, is a type of data feed provided by your MLS. This data feed typically (but not always) mirrors the data available on your MLS’s website. IMPress for IDX Broker connects to this data feed automatically, maps the necessary fields, and then adds forms, scripts, etc, giving you a way to add html links and widgets to your website(s).

How does IDX Broker connect with the IMPress for IDX Broker plugin?

An IDX Broker API key (IDX Broker Account Required) provides the IMPress plugin with access to preset Widgets, search forms, an xml sitemap file, and much more.

How is the IDX content hosted/updated?

IDX Broker hosts your IDX data on a subdomain (e.g., search.yoursite.com). This allows IDX Broker to update quickly, and offers a lightning-fast, co-brandable search engine for real estate professionals and WordPress designers regardless of the quality of the hosting solution that you are using for your website. Low quality, inexpensive hosting solutions often cannot process or manage the amount of data provided by an IDX feed.

Why is IDX Broker hosted in the cloud?

All IDX feeds are hosted on high-quality GCP (Google Cloud Platform) servers with multiple layers of redundancy. This ensures that even if your hosted website (mysite.com) goes down, your IDX Broker pages (search.mysite.com) will almost always be available to visitors.

What is a Wrapper and why does IDX Broker need to create a Wrapper page on my WordPress site?

The IMPress plugin offers an easy one-button option to create a Wrapper for IDX pages. This wrapper page is then used to magically update your IDX pages every hour, or whenever you modify/refresh your IDX Broker plugin page. This means less work for you or your website developer.

Do I need an IDX Broker Lite or Platinum account in order to use this plugin?

Yes. All IDX feeds require approval from a local board or MLS. If you (or your client if a designer) are not a member of a local board or MLS, or the MLS does not provide an IDX data feed, then you will be unable to add IMPress for IDX Broker plugin functionality to your WordPress site.

Is my service area available?

Read more about our MLS coverage. Note that some MLS’s may charge you a separate fee for access to your IDX feed.

Does IDX Broker require a long-term contract like other IDX services?

No. IDX Broker requires a month-to-month agreement only.

What is the pricing for IDX Broker services?

For updated pricing, please visit our website to compare the available account types.

What can I expect if I decide to get my IDX feed through IDX Broker?

When you sign up for a new account our MLS team will send you a Docusign email (or PDF). Simply add your signature to the Docusign file or PDF in order to proceed. If you are not a Principal Broker, and have provided us with your Broker name and contact information, we will then forward the same paperwork to your Broker for approval. Once we receive the paperwork from your Broker, we will send it to the MLS for data approval. MLS approval can take anywhere from 3-10 days. Once approved, we will activate your account, integrate your site’s design into IDX pages, and send you IDX Broker login credentials so that you can use this plugin to add links and Widgets to your site or blog.

How many blogs/websites can I integrate with IDX Broker?

Features provided by this Plugin – Widgets, links, and custom links may be placed onto any WordPress website or blog. The reason for this is because all Widgets, links, and custom links point back to the original IDX-approved website. Note that using iframes to display this same content is prohibited and may result in account termination due to MLS rules.

What are Other Requirements for this Plugin?

This plugin requires PHP version 7.0 or higher. For security reasons, we recommend updating to the latest stable version of PHP your web host provides. We also recommend using the latest production version of WordPress. See this article for more information.

If I currently have IMPress Listings and/or IMPress Agents – what does the new plugin consolidation mean for me?

For users with IMPress 3.0+ who have legacy versions of IMPress Listings and/or IMPress Agents already installed, the plugins will continue to work as-is. However, if the user selects ‘Enable Listings’ or ‘Enable Agents’ in the new IMPress for IDX dashboard, the legacy IMPress Listings/Agents will be deactivated and the new consolidated version of the plugin will be used. Any existing data for Listings/Agents will be unaffected.

Reviews

October 9, 2024
I wasted over $400 thinking that IDX Broker and this plugin would take care of my needs of integrating IDX into my self-hosted website. The documentation is almost non-existent, leaving you fumbling in the dark. Their website advertises included themes that should work well with this plugin, however, in 2024 these themes do not exist. I spent a fair amount of time on the phone with an IDX service tech who, when asked about the themes, stated “I don’t know, these were installed on my system when I started here.”The system as a whole is very clunky and outdated. Once you do get a search created, it will default to a subdomain in the idxbroker website instead of natively on your own. Overall bad experience and waste of money. If you really do want a self-hosted IDX website do some research and find a provider that is plug and play ready and doesn’t require countless hours of your time just to end up with a 10 year old looking website.

I’ve never felt compelled to leave a Wordpress review, but the service provided by IDXBroker is so non-existant I’ve felt the need the need to notify others that are considering this is as an IDX solution. They will take your money and quickly onboard your MLS feed, but after that, good luck getting a response to an e-mail. They simply ignore you. Plugin has not been updated in a long time. Free plugins have better support than this with a fairly high monthly subscription fee.

This is the best IDX plugin for Wordpress. Is it perfect? No, nothing is. But they have been really improving things for about the past year (new features, updated templates, etc.). The Market Reports feature is really nice and loved by many clients. You can customize many things through the UI. With code you can customize just about anything.
June 8, 2021
It does indeed integrate with wordpress, however there are several “imperfections” 1. You can integrate ALL info, which completely overwrites any SEO efforts on a listing 2. All images will come in with the same title. Any local changes will be overwritten 3. “De-Unselecting” option to overwrite all results in ALL properties changing to SOLD status. Integration should be based on property ID information with the option to select which information is updated upon synchronization. Unless you are listing and turning many properties a week, this entire process is probably best to do manually

I decided to give this tool a try. The search was good, and although I had a few issues installing the plugin, it was not too bad. I was told that the IDX content was SEO friendly, but found that not to be the case. I was also very disappointed that I could not use cache tools to make my website faster. It seems that this plugin slowed my website down.
