This WordPress Plugin is a form generator/manager exlusively designed to aid WebHotelier Clients on generating and managing forms which are linked to their WebHotelier accounts so that their website visitors can directly search for room availability.

WebHotelier for WordPress helps you create shortcodes and widgets to customize how the booking experince looks and feels for your customer.

You can choose out of 3 predefined layouts for your form or you can add your own CSS if you wish.

Installation

Upload webhotelier folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Go to the newly generated admin menu called ‘WebHotelier Options’

FAQ

Is this a reservation form?

No. It is a search availability form which requires a WebHotelier Account.

What if I don’t have a WebHotelier Account?

It’s not too late to join WebHotelier and enjoy the many perks, this plugin included, that such a partnership entails.

Can I put this form anywhere I want?

If a shortcode inside your posts or a widget on your sidebar or footer or header isn’t satisfying your needs then you can manually go into your theme and use the following PHP code anywhere you deem fit.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[wp-webhotelier]'); ?>

Since this is technically still a shortcode, you can customize it with everything that is listed in the documentation.
