Check if you have the wordpress last version installed.

a) Install our free Real Estate Theme from WordPress repository.

b) Activate only the plugins required by our theme.

c) Fill out all settings fields.

d) Include some properties.

e) Copy [realestate] shortcode to your page.

g) Check your memory status:

Dashboard => Real Estate => Real Estate (tab Memory checkyp)

Keep the page in text mode and not put html code wrapping the shortcode.

For example:

right: [realdealer]

wrong:  <h1> [realestater] </h1>

If works fine, begin to activate your anothers plugins, one each time. 

After install one plugin, look the site.

If stops of works, means that plugin is not compatible with our plugin and you can't use it.

Do the same with your new theme if you don't use our free theme.

h) Use updated (last version) browser Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Avoid to use internet explorer.

i) Check your javascript console if you don't have javascript errors in your site. Javascript errors can kill WordPress plugins (also kill real estate).
