Migration

Migrate From Automotive Listings

We can migrate your inventory and keep your shortcodes working. Your listings, categories and page layouts move to Dealer.ms on the same WordPress site.

Shortcodes

Your shortcodes keep working

The Automotive Theme Elements extension keeps the theme shortcodes on your pages rendering, so pages built with them do not break.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions before you move

Which plugin can you migrate from?

The Automotive Listings plugin, which we sold on ThemeForest. See the Automotive page on ThemeForest.

What moves across?

Listings with photos, prices and details, your categories and options, badges, the sold-listing settings, and listing, results and form layouts as Elementor templates.

Will my shortcodes keep working?

The Automotive Theme Elements extension keeps the theme shortcodes rendering. A few inventory shortcodes, such as the comparison, inventory display, search box and vehicle scroller, are listed so they can be replaced with Dealer.ms widgets.

Will my listing URLs change?

No. Your listing URL base is kept.

Do you keep my translations?

If your site uses WPML, translations of your listings, categories and badges can be carried across.

What does it cost?

Every site is different. What a migration involves depends on how custom your design is, what pages and layouts you have built, and how your site is put together. Talk to us and we will confirm what is involved. Each site needs a Dealer.ms license, and plan prices are on the pricing page.
