WeTravel Widgets WordPress Plugin — Overview

Updated over a week ago

The WeTravel Widgets plugin for WordPress is an optional integration that allows WeTravel trips to be displayed as structured, reusable widgets inside a WordPress site. It is most commonly used to create All Trips listings, filtered views, and curated selections of trips - without manually embedding individual widgets for each trip.

What the Plugin Enables

When properly configured, the plugin allows you to:

  • Add WeTravel widgets via Gutenberg blocks or shortcodes

  • Reuse widgets across multiple pages without copying the embed code

  • Create custom versions of the All Trips widget

  • Maintain a consistent booking experience across the site

💡Important: The plugin does not work automatically after installation. An initial setup is required before any widget—including All Trips—will render correctly.

What the Plugin Can Display

1. All Trips — Grid View

Example: Stephen Ambrose Tours — All Trips

This view shows:

  • Card-based trip layout

  • Trip image, title, duration, locations, and starting price

  • “Book Now” buttons that launch the WeTravel checkout

  • Search and location filtering

  • Pagination for large trip catalogs

Use case:

A dedicated All Trips or Tours page listing every active WeTravel trip.

2. All Trips — List View

The same All Trips widget can be displayed in list format, showing:

  • Larger descriptions

  • Compact images

  • Pricing aligned to the right

  • Clear CTAs per trip

Use case:

Content-heavy sites where users compare trips by details rather than visuals.

3. Filtered Trips by Location

Trips can be grouped or filtered by destination or region, such as:

  • Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana

  • Country- or region-based collections

This allows WordPress pages like:

  • “Trips in Europe”

  • “US History Tours”

  • "By Destination” sections

4. Carousel / Curated Trip Selection

The plugin can also display selected trips only, shown in a carousel layout.

This is commonly used for:

  • Homepage highlights

  • Featured tours

  • Marketing landing pages

Trips remain powered by WeTravel while matching the site’s design and layout.

When the Plugin Is a Good Fit

The WordPress plugin is best when:

  • The site is entirely built in WordPress

  • An All Trips page is required.

  • Trips need to be reused across multiple pages.

  • Non-technical users manage content.

  • A consistent listing format is desired.

In these cases, WeTravel can install and configure the plugin as part of the integration.
