What the author says it does
This plugin is designed for the German-speaking market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). It is intended for websites subject to German law. The admin interface is in German.
eRecht24 Legal Texts outputs legal texts (imprint, privacy policy) via shortcode or Gutenberg block. Legal texts are stored in the local WordPress database and displayed from there — no external request is needed for output.
The plugin works in two modes:
- Without an eRecht24 account: Enter your legal texts manually in the plugin settings. All shortcode and block output is fully functional.
- With an eRecht24 account: Connect the plugin to the eRecht24 API to synchronise legal texts automatically. Once synchronised, texts are stored locally and continue to be displayed even if the API key is later removed.
The shortcode is the core feature. This makes the output work in the Classic Editor, Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and other page builders that support WordPress shortcodes.
External requests are only triggered when an authorized administrator saves or removes the API key, starts a synchronization or remote push test, explicitly enables Google Analytics, uninstalls the plugin with a stored eRecht24 client registration, or an authorized eRecht24 push with a valid secret is received.
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Questions the author answers
Does the plugin work with Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery?
Yes. Output is handled via WordPress shortcodes. Elementor also gets a small optional widget, but the core feature does not depend on any page builder.
Are external scripts loaded in the frontend?
No by default. Google Analytics is only output when an administrator enables the feature in the plugin settings.
Is the API key exposed in the frontend?
No. The API key is stored server-side in a WordPress option and used only for API requests.
Are old options migrated?
Yes. On activation, known options from the previous eRecht24 plugin are read and copied into the new option. The old options are not deleted.
Can the previous eRecht24 plugin remain active at the same time?
No. Both plugins register some of the same shortcodes, in particular [erecht24] and [erecht24_widget]. Deactivate the previous plugin before installing or updating to this version, not just afterwards.
Latest changelog entry
- Fixed: Updating directly from a 3.3.x version of the previous eRecht24 plugin could end with a fatal error (“Class eRecht24\LegalTexts\App\Cron\TrimErrorLog not found”).
- Fixed: Push updates could be rejected as unauthorized if the push secret issued by eRecht24 contained special characters.
- Improved: Rejected push requests are now logged in the Status tab, including the reason. The secrets themselves are never logged.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
