JsonifyWP

JsonifyWP is a WordPress plugin that lets you display data from external JSON APIs using flexible, customizable templates and built-in navigation logic.

What JsonifyWP does

From the WordPress admin panel, you can define custom endpoints with:

• A title and language label
• The main JSON API URL
• List and detail templates
• Optional field to extract the detail API URL per item

Flexible template structure

Each endpoint supports selecting a specific template for list and detail views:

• templates/list/ – for listing items
• templates/detail/ – for detail pages

You can build as many templates as needed and reuse them across endpoints. Templates are standard PHP files, easy to extend and modify.

Shortcodes for integration

• [jsonifywp id="1"]: displays the list view
• [jsonifywp_detail]: displays the detail view for a specific item (uses URL parameters)

The plugin automatically reads jsonifywp_id and item from the URL and fetches the corresponding API data.

List-only mode and pagination

You can configure an endpoint as list-only, disabling detail views. In this mode, the plugin handles pagination by adding page and limit parameters to the API request and rendering navigation controls automatically.

Advanced endpoint configuration

• Set the JSON field containing the detail API URL
• Set a base domain for detail URLs if they're relative
• Configure items per page globally via settings

JsonifyWP stores all endpoint definitions in a dedicated database table (wp_jsonifywp) and offers a scalable way to display structured external data inside WordPress.
