WordPress Template for Gray Licensees | Tours pages

Where can I find it?

SIDE PANEL > Tours

What does it mean?

The tour pages are automatically imported from TourCMS, so no changes are needed on these pages here. If you wish to edit any descriptions or other fields, this can be done from the backend.

What should I do?

Once per day, all tours are automatically synced from TourCMS. This task updates any new tours, removes tours (if not present in TourCMS), and updates data in existing tours, including content and media.

The user has the option to update tours manually, outside of the standard sync interval as follows:

Update all tours manually

1. Go to SIDE PANEL> SETTINGS> GRAY LINE LICENSEE TOURCMS PLUGIN
2. Click on the Sync Tours button

Update individual tours manually

1. Go to SIDE PANEL> TOURS
2. Search for the tour to be updated and click on the edit button.
3. On the edit page, in the right section under ‘publish’, click the ‘update’ button.

However, for SEO, users can update the configuration for each tour. To check how the SEO is configured please refer to How to configure SEO for pages?

Tours custom fields

Tours custom fields can be used to display different flags on your tour pages and distinguish descriptions used on your own website from descriptions used on 3rd party (e.g. agent) websites. Actually, only the 2 first custom fields are displayed on the website: “a1 Easy cancellation” and “a2 Product Badges”. You can find them in TourCMS PRODUCTS > TOURS > DESCRIPTIONS & IMAGES > CUSTOM FIELDS

a1 Easy Cancellation custom field

In the “a1 Easy Cancellation” you can enter “false” to remove the “Free Cancellation” message for that tour. For example, the “ Free Cancellation” message has been removed for the “WS: Minimundus & Schiffahrt” tour.

However, if you configure cancellation policies directly within TourCMS, the 'Easy Cancellation' custom field will be disregarded.

a2 Product Badges custom field

Here you can enter one of the following codes for the “a2 Product Badges” custom field:

"SO" => __('Likely To Sell Out', 'wp_grayline_tourcms_theme')

"NT" => __('New Tour', 'wp_grayline_tourcms_theme')

"BS" => __('Bestseller', 'wp_grayline_tourcms_theme')

"ET" => __('Essential Tour', 'wp_grayline_tourcms_theme')

"MS" => __('Must See', 'wp_grayline_tourcms_theme')

"PT" => __('Private Tour', 'wp_grayline_tourcms_theme')

SO - Likely to Sell Out	NT - New Tour	BS - Bestseller
ET - Essential Tour	MS - Must See	PT - Private Tour

How to configure Tour Enquiry on the tour page?

To do this, you need to follow the steps:

1. Login to WordPress and go to SIDE PANEL> SETTINGS> GRAY LINE TOURCMS LICENSEE TOURCMS PLUGIN
2. Tick the ‘Enable Tour Enquiries’ check box

When tour enquiry is enabled, a button is displayed above the booking widget in the tour details page.

On click of this button, an enquiry form is opened where customers can enter details and questions.

Reviews

The tour pages prominently feature Feefo reviews, providing prospective customers with authentic feedback from previous travellers. Feefo is a leading independent review platform that collects verified customer reviews. To enable the display of these valuable reviews on your individual tour pages, please follow the instructions detailed in our comprehensive guide here.
