LandTech Self Storage API – Automated Storage Management Integration
LandTech Self Storage API is a free foundation plugin that securely connects your WordPress site to the WebSelfStorage API (U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network) for real-time inventory, facility profile display, and seamless data sync. Production API paths can use v3 or v4 when Premium is active (see API version below). Server-side requests use your stored API key and Entity ID—nothing is embedded in page source for visitors. Display facility profile data and move-in / availability inventory on any page via shortcodes. See SHORTCODES.md in the plugin folder for the full shortcode reference. Features API integration: WebSelfStorage API — facility location, move-in inventory, and related calls used by the shortcodes (v3 or v4 paths when configured) Location display: Address, phone, and hours from the API Available units: Move-in inventory (pricing and specs as returned by the API) Admin: LandTech Storage settings for API key and Entity ID; Test Connection validates credentials and probes v3 and v4 test endpoints Shortcodes (public): [landtech_self_storage], [landtech_wss_movein], [landtech_wss_location_sizes] (see SHORTCODES.md) [wss_api_*] shortcodes: Raw JSON wrappers for endpoints—for administrators debugging only; do not use on public pages Responsive CSS for shortcode output Translation-ready — text domain landtech-self-storage-api; default strings are English (see Language support below) Premium-ready: Works alongside Self Storage API Premium for reservations, multi-facility, Gutenberg blocks, waiting lists, and API v4 Features admin Premium Version For reservation forms, multi-facility support, waiting lists, Self Storage API Gutenberg blocks (Storage Units, Unit Types, All Units, Reservation Form, Rental Form, Waiting List — six blocks in Premium 1.4.4+), API v4 Features admin, unit card display options, analytics, and bundled multi-language packages, see Self Storage API Premium. Language support This free plugin is internationalization-ready. WordPress will load a translation if you install a matching landtech-self-storage-api-{locale}.mo (for example in wp-content/languages/plugins/) or when community translations are available for this plugin on WordPress.org. The template for translators (.pot) is included under languages/ in the plugin package. Self Storage API Premium adds Self Storage API Premium-maintained compiled translations for many locales (for example German, Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese), RTL styles for admin and front-end, Self Storage API Gutenberg blocks, API v4 Features admin, a Language support help document under SelfStorage → Documentation, and a much larger set of translatable admin and feature strings (reservations, waiting list, license tools, and more). For the full translated experience across Premium features, upgrade to Self Storage API Premium. Installation Requirements WordPress: 5.0 or higher (tested up to 7.1). PHP: 7.4 or higher (aligns with WordPress 7.0 minimum supported PHP; 8.3+ recommended). Hosting: Outbound HTTPS requests must be allowed so WordPress can call api.webselfstorage.com (the plugin uses wp_remote_get / wp_remote_post, not raw cURL). Credentials: A valid WebSelfStorage API key and your facility Entity ID (from your storage network or U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network account). Install the plugin Upload or install: Add the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/landtech-self-storage-api/, or in wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and select the plugin zip, or search for LandTech Self Storage API if installing from WordPress.org. Activate: Go to Plugins, find LandTech Self Storage API – Automated Storage Management Integration, and click Activate. Configure the API connection In the WordPress admin sidebar, open LandTech Storage (top-level menu). The plugin’s settings screen loads there—it is not nested under Settings → General. Enter your API key and Entity ID (facility identifier used in API paths—often a numeric code from your network). Click Save Settings, then Test Connection (same screen) to confirm WordPress can reach api.webselfstorage.com and that the API accepts your credentials. Use shortcodes on your site Edit any page or post and add the shortcodes you need: [landtech_self_storage] — Primary block: facility profile plus optional units (show_location, show_units). [landtech_wss_movein] — Move-in inventory only (useful if you disabled units on the main shortcode to avoid duplication). [landtech_wss_location_sizes] — Size-code / vacant-units table from /v3/location/{entity} for comparison with move-in data. [wss_api_*] (e.g. wss_api_location, wss_api_movein) — Administrators only; outputs raw JSON for troubleshooting. Do not publish on customer-facing pages. Publish or Update the page. Rendering happens in PHP; the API key stays in options, not in HTML source. Troubleshooting (installation) If the test fails, verify PHP allow_url_fopen / firewall rules, that the API key matches your facility, and that the Entity ID matches WebSelfStorage records. For HTTPS or mixed-content issues, ensure your site uses HTTPS for admin if your host requires it. Frequently Asked Questions How do I get an API key? You can obtain your API key from your WebSelfStorage account. Contact your storage network provider for more information about accessing the WebSelfStorage API. What is an Entity ID? The Entity ID is a unique identifier for your storage facility. It’s typically a 6-digit number (e.g., 019109). If you’re unsure of your Entity ID, you can leave it blank and the plugin will attempt to retrieve it from the API. Can I use this with multiple facilities? The free version supports a single facility. For multi-facility support, please check out LandTech Self Storage API Premium. Are translations included? Free: The plugin is translation-ready. English ships by default; you can add custom .mo files or use WordPress.org language packs when available. See languages/TRANSLATORS.txt in the plugin. Premium ships pre-built .mo files for multiple locales and covers the full Premium UI—see Language support in this readme, then Self Storage API Premium to upgrade. What API version does this use? Default: WebSelfStorage API v3. Test Connection also probes v4 (GET /v4/test) and reports whether v4 is live for your API key. Switch to v4 for production requests when using Self Storage API Premium: SelfStorage → API v4 Features → API path, or add to wp-config.php: define( 'LANDTECH_SELFSTORAGE_WSS_API_VERSION', 'v4' ); The free plugin’s API client respects the shared version setting when Premium (or the constant) sets it. See SHORTCODES.md in this plugin folder. How do I display facility information on my site? Use the [landtech_self_storage] shortcode on any page or post. You can customize what’s displayed using the shortcode attributes: * show_location="true" – Display facility location information (default: true) * show_units="true" – Display available units (default: true) Example: [landtech_self_storage show_location="true" show_units="true"] Full attribute list and Premium shortcode pointer: see SHORTCODES.md in the plugin directory (or your copy from GitHub). Changelog 1.0.6 Documentation: Premium Gutenberg block list updated to include Unit Types (six blocks total in Premium 1.4.4+). Readme and upgrade notice refreshed; no functional changes to the free plugin. 1.0.5 API v4 compatibility: Production requests can use WebSelfStorage v3 or v4 paths. The free plugin’s API client reads the shared selfstorage_wss_api_version option (set in Premium SelfStorage → API v4 Features → API path), LANDTECH_SELFSTORAGE_WSS_API_VERSION in wp-config.php, or Premium reservation settings. Test Connection: Reports whether v4 is live for your API key and which path version is active for production calls. Premium-ready foundation: Documented integration with Self Storage API Premium Gutenberg blocks (Storage Units, Unit Types, All Units, Reservation Form, Rental Form, Waiting List) and the API v4 Features admin screen. Documentation: SHORTCODES.md added; readme updated for v3/v4 switching and block editor workflow. 1.0.4 Test Connection probes both GET /v3/test and GET /v4/test so you can see whether WebSelfStorage API v4 is live for your API key. 1.0.3 Hide “Want More Features?” upsell on [landtech_self_storage] and [landtech_wss_movein show_upgrade="true"] when Self Storage API Premium is active. Align plugin header Tested up to with readme (7.1). 1.0.2 Declares WordPress 7.0 compatibility (Tested up to) after testing on WordPress 7.0. Raises minimum PHP to 7.4 to align with WordPress 7.0 (PHP 7.2 and 7.3 no longer supported by core). No functional/plugin logic changes in this release. 1.0.1 Documentation: language support and translation paths for the free plugin; what Premium adds (bundled locales, RTL, in-product help). Version bump to sync readme with WordPress.org and Git. 1.0.0 Initial release Basic API integration with WebSelfStorage API v3 Location information display Available units display Admin settings page for API configuration Shortcode support for displaying facility information External services This plugin connects to an external API to display storage facility information and available units on your site. This is required for the plugin to function. WebSelfStorage API (U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network) — https://api.webselfstorage.com What it is and what it is used for: The WebSelfStorage API is a service provided by U-Haul (eMove, Inc. d/b/a U-Haul Self Storage Affiliate Network). The plugin uses it to retrieve your storage facility’s location details (address, phone, hours) and available storage units with pricing so you can show that information on your WordPress site via the shortcode. What data is sent and when: The plugin sends your API key (in the request header) and your facility Entity ID (in the request URL) to the API. Specifically, it sends the Entity ID to endpoints such as /v3/location/ and /v3/movein/ to fetch location details (address, phone, hours) and available units with pricing. No site visitor personal data is sent. Data is sent when a page or post containing the shortcode is loaded, and when an administrator uses the settings page (e.g. testing the connection).

WP Login and Register using JWT
The WordPress Login and Register using JWT plugin allows you to log in (Single Sign-On) into your WordPress application using the JWT token(JSON Web token) obtained from any other WordPress site or other applications/platforms including mobile applications. This helps users perform autologin to WordPress and synchronize user sessions without the need to log in again. | Features | WordPress JWT Login Setup Guide | Videos | WORDPRESS SINGLE SIGN-ON / SSO ( LOGIN INTO WORDPRESS ) WordPress Single Sign-On SSO also simply called WordPress SSO allows you to login into WordPress using the credentials of other platforms. So, the user will just use a single set of credentials to log in to multiple applications. WordPress Single Sign-On / SSO using JWT(JSON Web Token) WordPress Single Sign-On (SSO) with JWT allows you to log into the WordPress site using the user-based JWT token obtained externally when the user authenticates for the first time in any connected external application. The JWT token authentication is the most popular way of authentication nowadays as it is a secure and lightweight protocol. The JWT token can be obtained either when a user logs into other platforms via OAuth/OpenID Connect protocol or can be created explicitly using the user information and secure algorithms. With this plugin, you can easily use the user-based JWT token to log a user in rather than asking them to authenticate again. Let’s take an example – If you have a WordPress site and mobile app, now if you are logged into the mobile app, now if you try to access the WordPress site, then to access the particular content, the WordPress site will ask for login again and which is not feasible, so with the JWT SSO (JWT Single Sign-On), you can create the JWT token for the user who is already logged into the mobile app and then on accessing the WordPress site, you can pass that JWT token in the request, using which the same user can authenticate and autologin to the WordPress site and hence won’t need to enter the credentials again. It supports possibly all kinds of JWT tokens (access-token/id-token) obtained from OAuth/OpenID Connect providers like AWS Cognito, Microsoft Azure AD, Azure B2C, Okta, Keycloak, ADFS, Google, Facebook, Apple, Discord and popular applications like Firebase. WordPress login using the JWT also called JWT SSO (Single Sign-On) can be done from other platforms and applications including mobile apps (android or IOS), an app built with other programming languages like .NET, JAVA, PHP, JS etc. Major functionalities WordPress Login Endpoint to create user-based JWT token Plugin provides the following API endpoint, which can be used to authenticate WordPress users and returns a user-based JWT which can be used to create login sessions in WordPress and other external applications. /wp-json/api/v1/mo-jwt WordPress Login using JWT This feature provides a way to auto-login users in WordPress using JWT obtained in a very secure way either via passing JWT token in the URL as a parameter, in the request header or shared via secured cookies. WordPress user register API endpoint to create users in WordPress using API This feature provides the following API endpoint to create users in WordPress in an easy way and on successful user registration, you will receive a JWT token in the response which can be used further for user login and WordPress REST API authorization. wp-json/api/v1/mo-jwt-register Delete/Remove users from WordPress using the user-based JWT token (JSON Web Token) This feature provides an API endpoint using which you can pass the JWT token and can easily delete the user and revoke access. wp-json/api/v1/mo-jwt-delete More details for the plugin setup can be checked from here. USE CASES Login to External applications using WordPress credentials If you are looking to authenticate your WordPress users to log in to external applications, then our plugin provides a login API endpoint using which you can easily authenticate WordPress users and can log in the users to those applications. Single Sign-On Users using the JWT token provided by OAuth/OpenID providers This WordPress login and register using the JWT plugin supports the WordPress Single Sign On (WordPress SSO) or WordPress login using the user-based JWT token (id-token/access-token) provided by the external OAuth/OpenID Connect providers (like Microsoft Azure AD, Azure B2C, AWS Cognito, Keycloak, Okta, ADFS, Google, Facebook, Apple, Discord and many more..) on login in some other sites/applications using their credentials. So, the user just needs to log in once on any other sites/platforms and a JWT token will be provided by these providers for those users will then be used further with security to autologin in other platforms. Automatic WordPress login and site access from mobile app web view | Synchronize WordPress session in the mobile app web view Suppose you have a mobile application and want to allow users to access their WordPress site content in the mobile app web view which requires a login so asking the users to enter the credentials again won’t be a good user experience. So, our JWT login plugin provides a solution to you in which the user session from the mobile app can be synchronized with the WordPress site and the user can seamlessly access the WordPress site using the user-based JWT token without the need for a WordPress login again. Automatic session synchronization between WordPress and other applications built on React, Node, Next JS, Flutter, Angular, Java, PHP, and C# …. Suppose you have a WordPress site connected to any external application built on any framework, then if you want a feature that if a user is logged in to any one application, should be automatically logged in to another as well. This can be easily achieved using the secure JWT. Session sharing between WordPress and other applications sharing the same subdomain (hosted on the same domain) Suppose you have a WordPress site and other applications hosted on the same subdomain, such that if the user logs in to any one application, then can be auto-logged into other connected applications on that domain using secure cookie-based JWT token sharing. an pass the new user details like username, email, name and password(optional), role etc. in the request body and on successful response, your user will get created and the corresponding user-based JWT will be received and the appropriate error response will be returned on the failure. Sync user login sessions between multiple platforms (Session sharing) If you have a WordPress site and other applications sharing the same subdomain and you want the feature in which if a user logged into one site (WordPress or another) and on accessing the other site in the same browser, then that user should get logged in automatically (user session to be synchronized). So, this feature is possible to have with our plugin’s JWT cookie-based session-sharing feature.
