If you have custom saved search links on your website, you[will need to re-create those links under your new MLS system login](https://go.wearefbs.com/idx-help-center/saved-search-idx-links?hsLang=en).  At that point, you will need to [replace your current website links with the new ones on your website](https://go.wearefbs.com/idx-help-center/installing-your-idx-link?hsLang=en).  If you have any questions or problems, you can email our support team at [idxsupport@flexmls.com](mailto:idxsupport@flexmls.com).  **![wordpress with kirk and mimi](https://go.wearefbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wordpress%20with%20kirk%20and%20mimi.png?width=670&height=388&name=wordpress%20with%20kirk%20and%20mimi.png)** **Flexmls IDX WordPress Plugin Customers:**  Since this is a new database, WordPress Plugin customers will need to have new credentials issued for their WordPress Plugin and re-install these credentials to your website. To obtain your new credentials, you should email [idxsupport@flexmls.com](mailto:idxsupport@flexmls.com) with subject line: **Need new WordPress credentials for new MLS. Please include your new MLS username.** We will then email you back with the new credentials which you can forward to your webmaster or re-install them yourself. There are also a few other steps you may need to take to make sure your widgets are working properly. [Here is some documentation](https://go.wearefbs.com/idx-help-center/refreshing-new-idx-links?hsLang=en) on that.  Additionally for WordPress Plugin customers, we’ve gone in and created an Active Listings link (**Preferences \> IDX Manager**) for you.
