About Vieww Property Listings

From the official readme · v2.5.6

Description

Vieww Property Listings is a WordPress real estate plugin for agents, property managers, holiday-rental owners and small agencies. Publish properties with everything buyers and renters expect — price, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, land and building sizes, address and photo galleries — and let visitors filter by type, status, location or minimum bedrooms.

Each property gets a polished single-property page with featured image, feature bar, full description, photo gallery with lightbox, and a contact-agent sidebar so enquiries land straight in your inbox. The filterable property grid drops onto any page with a shortcode — perfect for a clean property-listings page on a brochure site, a small agency portfolio, or a holiday-rental hub.

Make it your own with built-in style controls for colours, contact text, currency symbol and area units (m² or sq ft) — so the listings feel like part of your site, not a bolt-on.

Location maps are included and work the day you install: they run on OpenStreetMap, so there’s no Google account to create, no API key to paste in, and no billing setup. Type the address and the pin lands on the map by itself — drag it to fine-tune.

See the live demo · Documentation

What your visitors get:

  • A filterable property grid — search by type, status, location and minimum bedrooms
  • A polished page for every property — hero image, status badge, features at a glance, full description and photo gallery with lightbox
  • A contact-agent sidebar on every listing so enquiries land straight in your inbox
  • Status badges — For Sale, Sold, Under Offer, Leased — each with its own colour

What you get:

  • A dedicated Properties section in your WordPress admin, separate from posts and pages
  • All the details that matter — price, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, land size, building size, and address
  • Group properties your way — by type (house, apartment), status (for sale, sold, leased) and location
  • Your own currency symbol and area units (m² or sq ft), your own colours and contact text
  • Drop-in shortcodes for grids, search forms, details and feature bars
  • Every template can be overridden from your theme — designers and developers stay in control

Part of the Vieww suite

Vieww plugins share one philosophy: everything you need ships in the box, your data stays in your own WordPress install, and nothing is sent back to us. Also available: Vieww Directory and Vieww Events Calendar. More at vieww.com.au.

The plugin provides default templates that work out of the box. To customise them, copy the template file to your theme:

  • single-vieww-property.php → your-theme/single-vieww-property.php
  • archive-vieww-property.php → your-theme/archive-vieww-property.php
  • content-vieww-property-card.php → your-theme/vieww-property-listings/content-vieww-property-card.php
  • content-vieww-property-features.php → your-theme/vieww-property-listings/content-vieww-property-features.php
  • content-vieww-property-gallery.php → your-theme/vieww-property-listings/content-vieww-property-gallery.php
  • content-vieww-property-sidebar.php → your-theme/vieww-property-listings/content-vieww-property-sidebar.php
  • content-vieww-property-filters.php → your-theme/vieww-property-listings/content-vieww-property-filters.php

External Services

This plugin connects to a small number of free, optional external services. Each is described below along with when it is used and what data is sent.

Google Fonts API

Used to load web fonts chosen in the Design Settings. Only occurs when a Google Font (as opposed to a system font) is selected in Properties > Design > Typography.

  • URL: https://fonts.googleapis.com
  • When used: Only when a Google Font is selected in Design Settings (off by default — system fonts are the default)
  • Data sent: The names of the selected font families (e.g. “Inter”, “Poppins”). No personal data or site data is transmitted.
  • Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/terms

If you prefer not to use Google Fonts, simply leave the heading and body font selectors set to a System Font — no external requests will be made.

Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) geocoding

Used to convert a property’s address into latitude/longitude coordinates so the listing can be shown on the property map. Runs on the server when a property is saved in the WordPress admin, and in the browser when an admin clicks the “Geocode Now” button on a property edit screen.

  • URL: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search
  • When used: Only on the admin side — when a property is saved with a new/changed address, or when the “Geocode Now” button is pressed in the Property Details meta box. No lookups run on the front-end.
  • Data sent: The property’s address text and the country string “Australia”. No personal data.
  • Privacy policy: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
  • Terms of use: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/

Leaving the latitude/longitude fields filled manually in the property edit screen prevents any Nominatim request from being sent for that property on save.

Photon (komoot.io) address autocomplete

Used to show a real-time address suggestion dropdown in the admin while typing into the Address field. Selecting a suggestion populates the full address line and coordinates at once.

  • URL: https://photon.komoot.io/api/
  • When used: Only on the admin side — while an editor is typing into the Address field of a property. Requests stop if the user stops typing or clicks elsewhere. No lookups run on the front-end.
  • Data sent: The partial address text the user is typing, plus a geographic bias toward Australia. No personal data, no site data.
  • Privacy policy: https://www.komoot.com/privacy
  • Service info: https://photon.komoot.io/

If you prefer not to use Photon autocomplete, simply ignore the suggestions and type the address manually — no suggestions will be acted on unless you click or Enter one.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

No. Property maps run on OpenStreetMap and work as soon as you activate the plugin. There’s no Google account to create, no API key to paste in, and no billing setup.

Do I need an MLS feed?

No. Vieww Property Listings is built for agents and agencies that enter their own listings — you don’t need an MLS feed, a syndication service, or a six-month implementation to put properties on your site.

How do I add a property?

Go to Properties > Add New in your WordPress admin. Fill in the title, description, featured image, and property details (price, bedrooms, etc.). Assign a Property Type, Status, and Location taxonomy term.

How do I add a gallery to a property?

In the property editor, add a Gallery block (Gutenberg) or a [gallery] shortcode (Classic Editor) to the content area. The plugin will automatically extract the gallery and display it in a lightbox below the description.

How do I change the colours?

Go to Properties > Settings > Colours tab. Use the colour pickers to set your primary colour, secondary colour, text colour, background colour, and card background.

How do I change the contact widget text?

Go to Properties > Settings > Contact & Display tab. You can customise the heading, body text, button label, and contact page URL.

Can I use a different currency?

Yes. Go to Properties > Settings > Contact & Display tab and change the Currency Symbol field. You can also change the area unit (e.g., from m² to sqft).

How do I display properties on a custom page?

Use the [vieww_grid] shortcode on any page or post. You can filter by type, status, location, and control the number of columns and properties shown.

Can I put a property search form on my homepage?

Yes. Use the [vieww_search] shortcode on any page. It renders a filter form that submits to the property archive page.

What happens to my data if I remove the plugin?

It’s yours. Everything lives in your own WordPress database, and deleting the plugin removes its data cleanly — posts, details, categories and settings all go with it, with no orphaned tables left behind. Deactivating (rather than deleting) keeps all your data intact.

Is it compatible with page builders?

Yes. The shortcodes work with any page builder that supports WordPress shortcodes (Elementor, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, etc.).

Changelog

Admin assets moved out of inline tags into enqueued files. Legacy wppl_* shortcode aliases removed — use the vieww_* shortcodes.

2.5.6

  • FIX: Property Details and Gallery Images were invisible when adding or editing a property. WordPress 6.7 and later place these sections in a “Meta Boxes” panel at the bottom of the editor that starts collapsed, so the screen looked empty unless you happened to drag the panel open. The panel now opens by default at a sensible height, with the block editor left in place above it — nothing about writing property descriptions changes. If you prefer the panel closed, collapse it and your choice is remembered.

2.5.5

  • IMPROVEMENT: Hardened plugin start-up against name clashes with other plugins. The viewwpl() helper is now only defined if nothing else has claimed the name, and the plugin starts itself up through its own class either way, so a clash can no longer take the site down with a fatal error.
  • IMPROVEMENT: WordPress.org listing rewritten — live demo and documentation links, Vieww-suite cross-links, Google-Maps-API-key, MLS and data-ownership FAQs, benefit-led short description and feature lists.
  • FIX: Geocoding now shares its Nominatim rate-limit transient (vieww_nominatim_last_call) with Vieww Directory and Vieww Events Calendar again. The 2.5.0 prefix rename had renamed this key to viewwpl_nominatim_last_call, so each plugin kept its own 1 request/second budget and two plugins geocoding at once could exceed the OpenStreetMap usage policy.

2.5.4

  • TESTED: Confirmed compatible with WordPress 7.0.

2.5.3

  • Listing: extended screenshot set from 3 to 6 — adds Settings, Design and Getting Started admin captures. Captions rewritten to match.

2.5.2

  • Listing: added the first set of WordPress.org screenshots (3 captures) and rewrote the screenshot captions to match.

2.5.1

  • Admin: moved inline <style> and <script> blocks out of the property meta boxes into dedicated enqueued assets (assets/css/vieww-pl-meta-boxes.css and assets/js/vieww-pl-gallery-admin.js), per WordPress.org coding standards. Translated strings now flow through wp_localize_script().
  • Removed legacy wppl_* shortcode aliases (wppl_grid, wppl_details, wppl_search, wppl_features). Use the vieww_* shortcodes instead.
  • Header: removed Plugin URI while the upstream site SSL is being reconfigured.
