The sigora Area Map answers on your own listing pages: schools, transport, health, sold prices, crime, broadband and more around a live map of the home, every figure from an official UK source and set in your brand colours. It is made for estate and lettings agents in England. * **Property Hive:** install the plugin and the Area Map adds itself to every property page. It reads each home’s location from Property Hive’s own fields, with no template edits. [The Area Map for Property Hive](https://sigora.uk/integrations/property-hive). * **Any WordPress theme:** add the sigora shortcode to your single-listing template once, with each listing’s postcode, plus its coordinates if you have them, and every listing shows its own area. The sigora block adds it to any single page in a couple of clicks. [The Area Map for WordPress](https://sigora.uk/integrations/wordpress). **Start a free 30-day trial, no card needed: [see the plans](https://sigora.uk/pricing)** #### Nine lenses. You choose which ones show. * **Map:** the whole area at a glance, on one map around the home. * **Schools:** the nearest schools, with their results and the sigora inspection summary. * **Transport:** the nearest stations and their lines, and every bus stop within a mile. * **Health:** GPs, pharmacies and dentists nearby, with inspection ratings and patient survey scores. * **Prices:** HM Land Registry sold prices near the home, set against the council area and England, with five-year trends. * **Crime:** the sigora crime rating, with Police.uk figures set against the council area and England. * **Amenities:** the cafés, restaurants, pubs, shops and everyday places within a walk. * **Environment:** air quality, noise, modelled long-term flood risk from rivers, sea and surface water where covered, and green space. * **Connectivity:** Ofcom broadband and mobile coverage, with address-level broadband speed where Ofcom has a match. #### Set it up your way, once Every lens can be switched on or off for your website in the sigora console, and the choice applies to every listing. Lead with Schools if families are your buyers; leave Crime off if it will not help. * **Smart rules:** show Crime only where it is better than the national average, and show air quality only when it is acceptable. * **Want a big map?** Keep the area summary collapsed for a full-width map. * **Your look:** your brand colour and a light or dark theme in the console; Standard or Tall height and a maximum width on the plugin’s sigora page, because your page needs those before the Area Map loads. #### Area Reports included Every plan includes Area Reports: branded, print-ready A4 reports for any address, not just your listings. Generate one from your console in seconds, with your logo on the cover and the same official evidence inside. Leave it with a vendor after a valuation or add it to the viewing pack. Paid plans include 1,000 Area Reports a month and the free trial includes 15. There is no per-report charge. [See a sample report (PDF)](https://sigora.uk/sigora-sample-area-report.pdf). #### Why agents trust it * **Every figure names its source:** ONS, DfE, HM Land Registry, Police.uk, NHS, Ofcom and more. * **No cookies, no visitor tracking:** the Area Map adds nothing your visitors need to consent to. * **One install covers every listing:** no per-property work, ever. * **Free for 30 days:** full access, no card needed. * **Simple plans:** from £19.99 a month per website, sized by how many listings you have live, with every lens and Area Reports on every plan. [See plans](https://sigora.uk/pricing). More about the [Area Map](https://sigora.uk/products/area-map). sigora is an independent product. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Property Hive. Property Hive compatibility means the plugin detects Property Hive and places the Area Map on its property pages. ### External services This plugin relies on Sigora, a hosted third-party service, to render the widget and supply its data. The plugin does not bundle a widget runtime and cannot show anything without it. What is sent, where, and when: 1. Hosted widget script. On every page where the widget is placed, the visitor’s browser loads the Sigora widget script from https://sigora.uk/widgets/v1/sigora- widget.js, the address your Sigora account returns during a connection test. As with any externally hosted script, that request sends the visitor’s IP address, user agent, and the page URL as referrer. 2. Local-area data. The loaded script then requests area data from the Sigora API at `https://sigora.uk`. It sends your public Sigora site key, your site’s origin, the page URL, and the listing context you configured for that placement – latitude and longitude, or postcode, or place slug – together with the listing reference. It does not send names, email addresses, or any other personal data held by WordPress. 3. Connection test. When an administrator presses Test connection on the Sigora admin page, WordPress makes one server-side request to https://sigora.uk/api/v1/public/ widget/plugin/diagnostic carrying your site key and your site’s origin. Nothing is sent at any other time. 4. Optional listing inventory. Only if you save a private inventory token, Sigora reads your published Property Hive listing records from this site over an authenticated REST route on its own schedule. Remove the saved token to revoke that access. The token is never emitted in page HTML or in public REST output. The service is provided by Sigora Insights Ltd (https://sigora.uk). Using this plugin means accepting that provider’s terms and privacy policy: * Terms of service: https://sigora.uk/legal/b2b-tos * Privacy policy: https://sigora.uk/privacy * Data processing addendum: https://sigora.uk/legal/b2b-dpa ## Screenshots [⌊The area around the home on one full-width map: schools, stations, bus stops, GPs, pharmacies and green space within a mile, with the area summary a tap away.⌉⌊ The area around the home on one full-width map: schools, stations, bus stops, GPs, pharmacies and green space within a mile, with the area summary a tap away.⌉[ The area around the home on one full-width map: schools, stations, bus stops, GPs, pharmacies and green space within a mile, with the area summary a tap away.

Upload the `sigora-widget` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP from the WordPress plugin screen. 2. Activate “Sigora Widget”. 3. Open the new top-level “Sigora” menu in the WordPress admin sidebar. 4. Paste the site key from the Sigora partner console. If you do not have one, use the Start free trial link. 5. Run Test connection to check the site key, WordPress origin, plan state, and widget bundle URL. 6. If Property Hive is active, leave automatic placement on for property pages. Otherwise, add the Sigora Widget block or shortcode where the widget should appear. On a Property Hive property page, a bare `[sigora_widget]` uses that property’s own location. Anywhere else, give it the listing’s location, for example (wire the postcode to the listing’s own postcode field): ``` [sigora_widget postcode="..." listing_id="..."] ``` Where listings carry coordinates, add lat/lng as well; the postcode stays, because Connectivity (broadband and mobile signal) needs it (`[sigora_widget postcode="..." listing_id="..." lat="..." lng="..."]`). On a Property Hive property page, a shortcode that gives coordinates still picks up the property’s postcode and reference when it leaves them out. Lenses, layout, colours and theme come from your Sigora console, so they are not set in the shortcode. ## FAQ ### Do I need Property Hive? No. The sigora block and shortcode work on any WordPress site. If you do use Property Hive, the Area Map adds itself to your property pages and reads each listing’s location, so there is nothing to place by hand. ### Can I choose which lenses appear? Yes. Switch any of the nine lenses on or off for your website in the sigora console. The smart rules for Crime and air quality are set there too. ### Are Area Reports included? Yes. Every paid plan includes 1,000 co-branded Area Reports a month, and the free trial includes 15. There is no per-report charge. ### What versions are supported? The compatibility floor is WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+, and Property Hive 1.5+ when Property Hive mode is active. The admin Plugin health view reports the installed WordPress, PHP, and Property Hive versions. ### How does the plugin authenticate with sigora? The plugin uses the public sigora site key and the detected WordPress site origin. There is no plugin API key and no separate identity stack. ### What does Test connection check? Test connection calls the sigora plugin diagnostic endpoint with the configured site key and detected site origin. It reports missing site key, invalid key, blocked origin, inactive site, plan-derived lens availability, and bundle URL state when the sigora backend returns those fields. ### Why is the Area Map not showing on a Property Hive listing? Automatic placement uses Property Hive’s standard property page: it adds the Area Map after the property details, or after the description where a theme prints it through WordPress’s normal content output. Some custom themes build their own property page and skip both. If so, ask whoever built your website to add `[sigora_widget]` to your property page template where the Area Map should appear. On a Property Hive property page it needs nothing else: it uses that property’s own location. The diagnostic log also records missing-location and disabled-listing states for administrators. ### Can I choose where the Area Map appears on my property pages? Yes. Automatic placement uses one fixed spot. For a different spot, untick automatic placement, add `[sigora_widget]` (or the sigora block) to your property page template where you want it, and tick Custom property template so your listings are still counted. A page never shows two Area Maps. ### What location fields does Property Hive mode use? sigora uses the property’s map pin from Property Hive (`_latitude` and _longitude) first, then the older `_property_location_latitude` and _property_location_longitude fields, then RealEstateListing JSON-LD geo.latitude and `geo.longitude`. A 0,0 pin counts as not set. It also keeps a postcode from common Property Hive postcode meta fields when coordinates exist, because broadband and mobile evidence is postcode- keyed. A postcode is the fallback location only when no usable coordinates are available. ### Where do I set the lenses, layout, colours and size? In your sigora console, the single place to configure how the Area Map looks. The plugin only needs your site key; it does not duplicate those settings, so nothing in WordPress can clash with your console. A single listing can still narrow the lenses with the `_sigora_show` custom field (it cannot unlock lenses that are not enabled for the site), and `_sigora_disable` skips placement for that listing. ### How does the plugin get updates? Through WordPress, from the WordPress.org plugin directory. The plugin contains no updater of its own and does not check any sigora URL for new versions, so update checks, the update notice and the auto-updates toggle all behave exactly as they do for any other directory plugin. Builds installed from a direct ZIP before the directory listing existed are replaced by installing the directory version once, after which updates arrive automatically. Automatic updates stay off until you turn them on. Click “Keep sigora up to date automatically” on the plugin’s sigora page, or use “Enable auto-updates” on the Plugins screen; both change the same WordPress setting. Most improvements need no plugin update at all, because the Area Map itself is served by sigora. ### What data leaves my site? See the External services section above. In short: visitors’ browsers load the Area Map from sigora and sigora returns local-area data for the listing location you configured. Nothing personal held by WordPress is sent. ### Does the plugin track visitors? No. The plugin renders the hosted Area Map, which sets no cookies and loads no analytics scripts. Its events are aggregate runtime events tied to site and listing context, not visitor identity. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “sigora Area Map” is open source software.
