Synchronization Tag implementation is intended for advanced developers familiar with PHP and WordPress development.
Because of the vast amount of WordPress themes available, we are unable to provide detailed support for each. The following article is intended as a reference, due to the changing nature of themes and WordPress itself.

Note: If you don't already have the IDX Broker plugin installed, you may download it here. If you decide not to use the plugin, click here for instructions.

With the launch of WordPress 3.0, you now have the ability to create a Multi-Site, which is a network of blogs on a single WordPress install. The process for adding IDX synchronization tags to a Multi-Site WordPress theme is slightly different than adding them to a standard theme running on one website only. Synchronization tags tell IDX Broker how to extract the header and footer from your blog in order to automatically integrate your blog design into the IDX pages.

To add IDX synchronization tags to a Multi-Site theme, add the start and stop tags to your home.php file using an "if" statement:

<?php get_header(); ?>

 

<?php genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap(); ?>

<div id="content-sidebar-wrap">

 

                <?php genesis_before_content(); ?>

                <div id="content" class="hfeed">

 

<?php

if (function_exists('idx_start')) {

  echo idx_start();

}

?>

 

 

</div><!-- end #featured-posts -->

 

<?php

if (function_exists('idx_stop')) {

  echo idx_stop();

}

?>

Note: The IDX Support Team cannot support synchronization tag placement on your WordPress site. You must be familiar with WordPress and how your WordPress theme works in order to use this feature. If you need assistance editing your WordPress theme to place these tags, please contact your theme designer or a WordPress developer.
