What It Does

The Responsive Mortgage Calculator is a jQuery widget and shortcode designed to fit easily into any theme, on any device, at any size. It is perfect for real estate agents on the go. This plugin optionally relies on an external service to show mortgage amortization and charts.

The mortgage calculator allows website visitors to estimate their mortgage payments by entering the total cost of the home, a down payment amount, an interest rate, the amortization period, and selecting a payment period. The result is displayed simply and clearly below the form.

Users can customize the calculator's appearance with options for light and dark themes, or they can use their theme's styling. The plugin also offers various settings to adjust the interest rate compounding period, currency formatting, and input field visibility.

Shortcode attributes allow the calculator to be used on different pages with customized field names. The Responsive Mortgage Calculator is for demonstration purposes only and may not reflect actual mortgage numbers.

FAQ

This is likely a problem with the JavaScript file not being loaded, and seems to occur when using the shortcode with a visual editor plugin, like Visual Composer. This will also prevent the CSS file from loading.

First, try editing the page with the shortcode. Switch from the visual editor to plain text editing, add the shortcode in plain text, and save it. Check the mortgage calculator to see if it working. If that didn’t work, you can…

Solve this problem by manually loading the scripts and styles. In the plugin folder, open the Extras folder, then open the file called manually_load_scripts.php. Copy the contents to your theme’s functions.php file. Even better, copy it to the functions.php file of a child theme. Change the page slug in the if conditional from your-page-slug-here to the actual page slug you’re using for the shortcode. Test it.
