Shortcode #

WebHotelier for WordPress can be used via shortcodes (or widgets/blocks).

Default shortcode:

[wp-webhotelier]

Add the shortcode in the Classic editor, the Shortcode block in Gutenberg, or use the PHP template code:

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

All the shortcode arguments override the plugin defaults set in the admin menu.

Common arguments

  1. url — example:

    [wp-webhotelier url="https://example.reserve-online.net"]

    The url value should be the WebHotelier booking URL (ends with reserve-online.net).

  2. max-adults — maximum number of adults (setting to 0 hides the field):

    [wp-webhotelier max-adults="5"]

  3. max-children — maximum number of children (use 0 to hide):

    [wp-webhotelier max-children="5"]

  4. max-infants — maximum infants (use 0 to hide):

    [wp-webhotelier max-infants="5"]

  5. orientation — layout. Options: horizontal, vertical, fluid.

    [wp-webhotelier orientation="fluid"]
    • fluid is a safe default for content areas.
    • horizontal fits wide containers.
    • vertical works well for widgets/sidebars.

  6. checkout-date — show checkout date selector instead of number of nights:

    [wp-webhotelier checkout-date="true"]

  7. max-nights — maximum nights (ignored if checkout-date is true):

    [wp-webhotelier max-nights="10"]

  8. css-class — add custom CSS classes to the form element:

    [wp-webhotelier css-class="my-class another-class"]

  9. days-after-checkin-allowed — delay for first available check-in day.

    • 0 allows booking for today, 1 allows booking from tomorrow, etc.
    • Default is 1.

  10. opening-closing-dates — define the hotel's open period using strict format YYYY-mm-dd to YYYY-mm-dd (first = opening, second = closing). Examples:

    [wp-webhotelier opening-closing-dates="2020-03-15 to 2020-10-20"]
[wp-webhotelier opening-closing-dates="2019-11-08 to 2020-03-18"]

  11. display-blank — open results in a new tab (1) or same tab (0):

    [wp-webhotelier display-blank="1"]

Notes

  • If a setting is not provided in the shortcode it uses the plugin defaults from WebHotelier Options in the admin.
  • The plugin automatically handles date ranges and will adjust years when necessary for opening-closing-dates.
