Once WP Connect is connected, your Housing Market CRM properties appear on your WordPress website on their own pages and in blocks you place on any page. This tutorial opens the plugin's Properties screen, visits the property list and a property page on the site, places the Property grid block in the page editor, and reads the settings that decide the property page address and how long a copy is kept before the CRM is asked again. The WordPress screens in this video are illustrations drawn from the plugin, with invented data.
