How the Automatic Import Works
Section titled “How the Automatic Import Works”The transfer runs in one direction: Aareon exports the inventory as an OpenImmo file to the /openimmo/ directory of your website, and WP-ImmoMakler processes the file during the next import run — properties are automatically created, updated, or removed, depending on what the export contains. The import frequency is determined by the cron job.
All attachments — photos, floor plans, PDF documents — are transferred by the plugin to the WordPress media library. Cleanup and notifications are handled by the import settings: processed files can be deleted automatically, and successful imports can be reported by email.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aareon and WordPress
Section titled “Frequently Asked Questions about Aareon and WordPress”How quickly do changes from Aareon appear on the website?
Section titled “How quickly do changes from Aareon appear on the website?”As soon as Aareon has transferred a new export to the /openimmo/ directory, WP-ImmoMakler processes the file during the next import run. How often Aareon exports is configured in Aareon; the import frequency on the website is determined by the cron job.
What happens to sold or rented properties?
Section titled “What happens to sold or rented properties?”That is up to you: with the option “Mark properties flagged as sold/rented as reference properties” under Settings: Import, brokered properties remain visible on the website as references. Otherwise, the behavior depends on your export: if Aareon sends a deletion command or no longer transfers the property, it disappears from the website. For more details, see Displaying reference properties.
Are images, floor plans, and documents transferred?
Section titled “Are images, floor plans, and documents transferred?”Yes. All attachments from the OpenImmo export — photos, floor plans, PDF documents — are automatically imported into the WordPress media library. Image quality can be adjusted under Settings: Import; from WP-ImmoMakler PLUS onwards, images can additionally be converted automatically to the space-saving AVIF format.
Do I need to do anything else after the setup?
Section titled “Do I need to do anything else after the setup?”No. Trigger a one-time full export in Aareon so that the complete inventory is transferred — after that, synchronization runs automatically. You do not need to log in to WordPress for this.
