Use the inventory archive
The public archive is available at /inventory/. Shoppers can filter or sort by make, model, year, body style, price, and mileage. Sold vehicles are excluded from the normal storefront.

[lotpress_inventory limit="12" show_sold="no"]limit: maximum vehicles to display.show_sold: useyesto include sold vehicles.featured: useyesto show only featured vehicles.carousel: useyesto create a carousel when more than one vehicle is returned.
Example featured carousel:
[lotpress_inventory limit="6" featured="yes" carousel="yes"] Use the Elementor widget
- Edit a page with Elementor.
- Find the Inventory Grid widget.
- Drag it into the page.
- Choose the vehicle limit, sold and featured behavior, and grid or carousel presentation.
- Update the page and test it at desktop and mobile widths.
The widget appears only while Elementor and LotPress Inventory are active.
Add the compact inventory search
The LotPress theme provides [lotpress_inventory_search]. It renders Make, Model, Body Style, Year, and Price controls and sends shoppers to the inventory archive with their selections applied.

lotpress-inventory/archive-vehicle.php
lotpress-inventory/single-vehicle.php
lotpress-inventory/vehicle-card.phpKeep custom copies under version control and review them when LotPress Inventory releases template changes.
