Important Notes

  • Save Permalinks after changing routes

  • Staging mode should not be used on production sites
  • /llms.txt may be cached by the hosting provider or CDN. If possible, reduce the cache duration for this URL, or clear the site/CDN cache after adding, removing, or changing configured Event, Place, or Itinerary pages.

What does this plugin require?

You need an active ITI Digital hub and valid hub configuration on the ITI Digital platform.

Is an API key required?

Yes. A valid ITI Digital API key is required for authenticated API requests.

Does this plugin work without an ITI Digital hub?

No. The plugin depends on external ITI Digital API responses.

Why are some tabs hidden in settings?

The plugin checks the configured hub and only shows modules enabled for that hub.

How do I reset the plugin connection?

Use the Disconnect button in the General tab. This clears the saved hub connection and returns the plugin to first-time setup state.

Does the plugin add schema?

The plugin uses ITI Digital API content and can suppress default schema from supported SEO plugins on dynamic event and place routes.

Which SEO plugins are supported?

The plugin includes compatibility handling for:
* Rank Math
* Yoast SEO
* All in One SEO

Why are my URLs not working?

Make sure you saved WordPress Permalinks after updating settings.

Why is my canonical URL different?

Check if Staging mode is enabled.

Can I use multiple detail base pages?

Yes. You can select multiple detail base pages where supported.

Does the plugin support cache invalidation webhooks?

Yes. The plugin provides an authenticated webhook endpoint that can receive Event, Place, Itinerary, and module-status updates from the ITI Digital platform. Depending on the update type, the plugin can refresh configured content pages, purge affected URLs, and synchronize module availability.

Can Events and Places appear in WordPress search results?

Yes. Events and Places can be included in WordPress search results when enabled from the Events and Places settings tabs.

Can I customize the search result templates?

Yes. Search templates can be overridden from the active theme under itidi-ai-events-places/search/.

Does the plugin support Itineraries?

Yes. The plugin supports Itinerary listings and embedded Itinerary detail content. Listing and detail content entries can be configured from the Itineraries settings tab.

Does the plugin support Travel Planner?

Yes. When Travel Planner is available for the connected hub, it can be enabled and configured from the plugin settings with frontend placement and loading rules.

What is llms.txt?

When enabled, the plugin generates /llms.txt to provide AI crawlers with official Event, Place, and Itinerary discovery links, along with the available ITI Digital sitemap.

Can I use custom post types for Events, Places, or Itineraries?

Yes. Pages and Posts are supported by default. Additional eligible public custom post types can be enabled separately for Events, Places, and Itineraries from the Advanced settings tab.
