Description
The official Wohno plugin fetches your real-estate listings through the Wohno
API and renders them as native, SEO-friendly HTML directly on your WordPress
site (list/grid). Clicking a listing opens its detail page on wohno.de, where the
application also takes place. This keeps the applicant folder — including all
personal data and the related GDPR responsibility — entirely with Wohno, while you
present a high-quality showcase on your own domain.
Highlights
- Native & SEO-friendly – real HTML listings on your domain, no iframe.
- Image gallery & detail modal – each card shows all photos; a click opens
an in-page modal with the description, key facts and “view / apply” buttons. - Three ways to embed – Gutenberg block, classic widget, and shortcode.
- Four layouts – grid, large cards, list and an interactive map.
- Front-end search – an optional filter bar (city, rooms, rent, type, WBS,
full-text) lets your visitors search your whole portfolio, server-side and
SEO-friendly. Enable with the block toggle orsearch="1". - Single listing – embed one listing’s card via
[wohno_listing id="…"]. - Adjustable branding – accent colour and corner radius in the settings.
- Filters – city, ZIP, number of rooms, maximum rent, property type, WBS,
full-text search. - “Load more” – cursor-based pagination for the list/grid.
- Map layout – optional interactive map (Leaflet + OpenStreetMap, no API key).
- Fast – server-side fetch with caching (transient + ETag) and a background
prewarm, so page rendering never blocks on the API and your quota is spared. - Secure – the API key is encrypted at rest, used server-side only over HTTPS,
and never reaches the browser; no applicant data is stored on your site. - Translatable – fully i18n-ready (text domain
wohno).
Embed via shortcode
[wohno_listings city="Köln" rooms_min="2" rent_max="1200" limit="9" columns="3"]
External services
This plugin connects to the Wohno API (https://wohno.de) to fetch and display
your listings. Without this connection the plugin cannot show any listings.
- When: on every page view that displays listings (server-side, with ~5
minutes of caching), plus when you click “Test connection” in the admin. - Where:
https://wohno.de/api/v1/listings - What is sent: your API key (in the
X-API-Keyheader, server-side only,
never in the browser), the filters configured in the block/widget/shortcode
(e.g. city, price), and a plugin version identifier (X-Wohno-Plugin). No
data about your site’s visitors is sent. - What is received: public listing data (title, key facts, image URLs, slug
for the detail link).
Provider: WOHNO UG (haftungsbeschränkt). Terms: https://wohno.de/agb · Privacy:
https://wohno.de/datenschutz
OpenStreetMap (only with the map layout): if you use the map layout
(layout="map"), your visitors’ browsers load map tiles from OpenStreetMap
(https://*.tile.openstreetmap.org). This transmits the visitor’s IP address to
OpenStreetMap. Without the map layout no such connection is made. Tile usage

FAQ
-
Do I need a Wohno account?
-
Yes. You create an API key with the
listings:readscope in the Wohno dashboard. -
Are applications handled through my site?
-
No. The detail page and the application run first-party on wohno.de. No applicant
data is created on your site. -
Will my listings on my domain be indexed by Google?
-
Yes, the overview list is rendered as real HTML. The individual detail pages live
canonically on wohno.de. -
Is my API key safe?
-
Yes. The key is stored server-side only (encrypted where the server provides
openssl) and sent only over HTTPS in theX-API-Keyheader — never in the
browser, never in the page source, never in logs. -
Are “discrete” listings shown?
-
No. Discrete listings are intentionally not delivered by the API.

Changelog
0.16.1
- Internal: the short-lived negative-cache transient now uses an explicitly
prefixed name (“wohno_neg_…”) so its option/transient key is unmistakably
namespaced in the shared transient store (plugin-review hardening).
0.16.0
- Privacy/compliance: the public “Bereitgestellt von Wohno” credit link is now
off by default and only appears when the site admin explicitly opts in on the
settings page (no attribution on the front end without consent). - Internal: all admin CSS is now enqueued via wp_enqueue_style /
wp_add_inline_style instead of inline tags. - Internal: every registered setting uses a named sanitize callback.
- Privacy: the suggested privacy-policy text now also notes that listing images
load from Wohno’s servers in the visitor’s browser. - Internal: bundled a LICENSE file for the included Leaflet library.
0.15.7
- Fix: the “Plugin URI” and “Author URI” headers are now distinct — the plugin
URI points at the plugin’s landing page, the author URI at wohno.de
(wordpress.org requires the two to differ).
0.15.6
- Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.0.
- Maintenance: display name aligned across the readme and the plugin header
(“Wohno – Immobilien-Inserate”). - Internal: iterate query parameters by key/value when preserving page context,
avoiding a needless superglobal index lookup.
0.15.5
- Fix: the maximum-rent filter now works. The Wohno API expects the rent filter
in cents (the unit it also returns); the plugin now converts your euro input
accordingly, so e.g. “max 1,200 €” filters correctly instead of returning
(almost) nothing.
0.15.4
- Fix: the readme’s “Tested up to” now points at a released WordPress version.
- Fix: the settings-page live preview showed sample prices 100× too low — the
demo data now uses the same cents unit as the real API. - Hardening: the detail and “load more” endpoints now restrict the listing id to
a UUID and briefly cache “not found” results, so the public endpoints can’t be
used to probe the Wohno API with random id/cursor values. - Hardening: the front-end filter bar no longer lets visitors seed the background
prewarm cache — only the embed’s own (author-defined) view is prewarmed.
0.15.3
- The sidebar menu shows the coloured WOHNO “W” icon again, now at full opacity
in every state (idle, hover, current) instead of WordPress’ dimmed default.
0.15.2
- The sidebar menu icon is now monochrome and follows the WordPress admin colour
scheme (grey when idle, light on hover/current) like a native icon, via a CSS
mask.
0.15.1
- Fix: the search/filter fields no longer overflow the bar (box-sizing) and the
bar is fully responsive — fields stack to two columns, then one, on smaller
screens. - The sidebar menu now uses the WOHNO “W” icon.
0.15.0
- The Wohno settings now live in their own top-level menu in the WordPress
sidebar (with a building icon) instead of under Settings.
0.14.1
- Fix: the search bar’s fields and the amber “Search” button were invisible on
some themes — the bar’s CSS variables weren’t defined (it sits outside the
listings wrapper). Fields now have a clear background and the button is
visible.
0.14.0
- Redesigned, more polished search & filter bar (clear fields with icons, a
prominent search button, tidy responsive layout). - New single-listing picker in the settings (Embed tab): choose a listing from a
dropdown and the[wohno_listing id="…"]shortcode is generated — no need to
look up the ID.
0.13.0
- The plugin now follows the site language: a bundled English (en_US) translation
means English sites show English, German sites show German — automatically. - Availability dates are now formatted in the site’s locale/date format instead
of a fixed German format.
0.12.0
- Lighter pages: long listing descriptions are no longer embedded in every card.
A short teaser is embedded and the full text is lazy-loaded (cached) when the
detail modal opens — much less HTML with many/long listings.
0.11.0
- Fix: prices were shown 100× too high (e.g. “70,000 €” instead of “700.00 €”).
The Wohno API delivers prices in cents; they are now converted correctly. - New: the detail modal shows the full cost breakdown (cold rent, utilities,
warm rent, deposit) when available.
0.10.2
- The detail modal now shows the full listing description (the safety cap was far
too low and cut normal descriptions short).
0.10.1
- The detail modal now uses its own, consistent type scale instead of inheriting
the theme’s font size — balanced headline, facts and description.
0.10.0
- New “Start” tab (now the default) with an at-a-glance overview of what the
plugin does and a status-aware “first steps” guide linking to the right tabs.
0.9.0
- New: block patterns (grid, large cards, search + list, map) for one-click
insertion. - New: suggested privacy-policy text (Tools Privacy) covering the Wohno API
and OpenStreetMap data flows. - New: an optional, dismissible review prompt for engaged admins, plus a
deactivation feedback dialog (the reason is only sent if you choose to, via a
pre-filled e-mail — no automatic tracking).
0.8.3
- The “Settings saved” confirmation now appears below the header (instead of
inside it) and reads in German (“Einstellungen gespeichert.”).
0.8.2
- The settings-page buttons, checkboxes and focus rings now use the WOHNO accent
colour instead of the default WordPress blue.
0.8.1
- The generator preview now also works before any listings exist: it shows a
faithful mock (sample listings with placeholder images) rendered through the
real card template, so you can preview every layout right away.
0.8.0
- The shortcode generator now has a live preview: the configured listings render
right below the generator (admin-only, server-side, accurate) as you change
the options.
0.7.0
- New: a live shortcode generator on the settings page (tab “Einbinden”) —
configure layout, columns, filters and toggles and copy the generated
[wohno_listings …] shortcode.
0.6.1
- Fix: a single/few results no longer shrink to a tiny card — grid columns are
now a maximum, with a comfortable minimum card width. - Fix: the detail modal now shows the image gallery (the media area no longer
collapses).
0.6.0
- Image gallery in every card (browse all photos with arrows/dots) and a detail
modal on click — description, key facts, price, and “view on wohno.de” /
“apply now” buttons. Larger, refreshed card. No extra API request.
0.5.0
- Front-end search & filter bar (block toggle or
search="1"): visitors can
filter your portfolio by text, city, type, rooms, rent and WBS — server-side
and SEO-friendly, working with every layout and “load more”.
0.4.0
- Redesigned settings page: gradient hero, tabbed navigation (Display /
Connection / Embed / Help) with a quick-start tutorial, FAQ and contact details. - Adjustable branding: accent colour and corner radius.
- The “Provided by Wohno” link can be turned off.
0.3.0
- New layouts: large cards (
layout="cards") and list (layout="list") next to
grid and map; refreshed card design closer to wohno.de. - Site-wide default layout and column count in the settings.
0.2.5
- Important fix: saving the API key now works. WordPress sanitises a setting
twice on save; the second pass received the already-encrypted key and discarded
it, which produced a false “Please enter a secret key (sk_…)” error and left the
key unsaved. The sanitiser is now idempotent.
0.2.4
- Fix: the API key field now extracts the key even when copying dragged along an
invisible character (word joiner, soft hyphen, directional mark), quotes, or a
label — not just plain spaces.
0.2.3
- Fix: the API key field now accepts keys that picked up an invisible
(non-breaking or zero-width) space when copied from a styled dashboard — all
whitespace is stripped before validation.
0.2.2
- readme rewritten in English (wordpress.org requirement).
- “Tested up to” set to the current WordPress version.
- Removed the unnecessary load_plugin_textdomain() call; excluded packaging
artifacts from the distributed build.
0.2.1
- Provider/author/copyright set to WOHNO UG (haftungsbeschränkt).
- Hardening and cleanup: no internal references in the shipped code, translations
for editor scripts (wp_set_script_translations).
0.2.0
- Single listing via
[wohno_listing id="…"]and a dedicated block. - “Load more” (cursor pagination) for the list/grid.
- Map layout (
layout="map") with Leaflet + OpenStreetMap (no API key). - Non-blocking rendering with background prewarm (WP-Cron); HTTPS enforced.
- API key encrypted at rest; hardened (private key access, template whitelist).
- Theme override for the card markup; third-party services documented.
0.1.0
- Initial release (Phase 1): native list/grid, shortcode, Gutenberg block, widget,
filters, caching (transient + ETag), connection test.
