The List Properties by ID block shows exactly the properties you name, in the order you name them, as a paginated grid. Nothing is filtered and nothing is sorted.
Use it when the selection is editorial: a collection page, an agent’s own picks, a set of listings featured in a campaign.
What you can set
Property WordPress Post ID is a comma separated list of IDs. Per page is the page size, defaulting to 12, and the grid paginates when the list is longer.
An ID pointing at a property that no longer exists is skipped rather than rendered as a gap.
Finding the IDs
- Open MLS Properties in the WordPress menu.
- Hover a listing and read the
postnumber in the link at the bottom of the browser, or open it and read the number in the address bar. - Collect the numbers and enter them separated by commas.
Expected result: the grid shows those properties in the order you entered them.
As a shortcode
[mlsimport_list_by_id ids="1204,1187,1155,1140" count="12"]In the block editor and Elementor
In the block editor, add List Properties by ID from the MLSImport group and paste the list into the sidebar inspector.
In Elementor, drag it from MLSImport Widgets. The ID list and the page size are on the Content tab.
Prefer the Label taxonomy for anything you will maintain. A property removed from the MLS and later reimported can come back with a different WordPress ID, which quietly drops it from an ID list. A label follows the property instead, and a Property List block filtered to that label needs no editing when the selection changes.
If it does not work
- Some properties are missing. Those IDs no longer resolve, usually because the listing left the MLS and was removed, or because it is a draft. Check each one under MLS Properties.
- Nothing renders. None of the IDs resolve, or the list is empty. A block with nothing to show outputs nothing.
- The order is wrong. The grid follows your list, so reorder the numbers.
- You entered MLS numbers. The block expects WordPress post IDs. An MLS number matches nothing here.
Frequently asked questions
How many IDs can I list?
There is no fixed limit, and the page size handles the display. Long lists are a maintenance problem rather than a technical one, which is what makes a label a better fit past a dozen or so.
Can I mix listings from different cities or statuses?
Yes. The block does no filtering at all, so any published property can appear beside any other.
Does it show sold listings?
It shows any property that still exists on the site. Whether sold listings survive is decided by your delete and status settings, not by this block.
What is the difference between this and the Property Slider with explicit IDs?
Layout. This is a paginated grid, the slider is a single row carousel with a cap and no pager.
