Yatra – Travel Booking & Tour Management

✈️ Yatra is a WordPress plugin built for tour operators, activity providers, and travel brands that need real trip inventory—not a generic shop. The free version includes a full booking office: trips, availability, checkout, customer records, and essential emails. Yatra Pro unlocks premium payment methods and a suite of Pro modules you can turn on as your business grows.

✈️ Why teams pick Yatra

• 🗺️ Travel-first data model — Departures, capacity, traveler types, and itineraries match how tours are actually sold.
• 🧭 One admin workspace — Modern Yatra dashboard inside wp-admin; less tab-hopping than bolting travel onto a generic commerce stack.
• ⚖️ Honest Free vs Pro — Core booking, CRM-style records, reviews, and PayPal / Pay Later are in the free plugin. Card gateways and advanced modules are in Pro—no surprise paywalls on basics like “save a trip” (saved trips / wishlist are a Pro feature when enabled in settings).
• 🔒 Your site, your data — Bookings and customer data stay in your WordPress database; payments go through the gateways you configure.

🧩 Blocks and shortcodes

Use the block editor or classic shortcodes to drop catalog widgets, search, and account UI into any page.

Blocks (search the inserter for “Yatra” or the block name):

• Tour — block name yatra/tour (trip grid; same data options as the [yatra_trip] shortcode).
• Activity — yatra/activity.
• Destination — yatra/destination.
• Trip categories — yatra/trip-category (same card layout as destinations; links use your trip category base from Settings).

Shortcodes (attributes shown are the main filters; all accept string values as in the plugin defaults—use yes / no or 0 / 1 where noted):

• [yatra_trip] — Trip listing. Alias: [yatra_tour] (same output; kept for backward compatibility). Useful attributes include order (asc or desc), featured (0 or 1), per_page, category, destination, activity, difficulty, price_min, price_max, duration_min, duration_max, search, columns, show_pagination (yes or no), title. Example: [yatra_trip featured="1" per_page="6" columns="3"]
• [yatra_activity] — Activity archive-style listing. Attributes include order, per_page, columns, activity (slug or comma-separated slugs), show_trip_count, show_description, show_image, show_pagination, hide_empty (yes or no), title.
• [yatra_destination] — Destination showcase. Attributes include order, per_page, columns, destination (slug or comma-separated slugs), show_trip_count, show_description, show_image, show_pagination, hide_empty, featured_only (yes or no), title.
• [yatra_trip_category] — Trip category showcase (same card layout and grid behavior as [yatra_destination]). Attributes include order, per_page, columns, category (slug or comma-separated slugs — omit to list all), show_trip_count, show_description, show_image, show_pagination, hide_empty (yes or no), featured_only (yes or no), title. When pagination is on, page changes use the trip_category_page query argument. Example: [yatra_trip_category per_page="9" columns="3" hide_empty="yes" title="Browse by style"]
• [yatra_search] — Advanced tour search form. Toggle parts with show_filters, show_categories, show_destinations, show_activities, show_price_range, show_duration, show_difficulty (yes or no), plus placeholder and button_text.
• [yatra_login] — Customer login form. Attributes include show_register, show_forgot_password, remember_me (yes or no), redirect_url, title, subtitle.
• [yatra_my_account] — Account dashboard for logged-in users (same React experience as the virtual account URL). Legacy attributes are accepted for backward compatibility but do not change the 3.x UI.
• [yatra_discount_and_deals] — Discounted trips. Attributes include order, per_page, columns, discount_type (all, percentage, fixed, or group), min_discount, max_discount, category, destination, show_original_price, show_percentage, show_time_left, show_pagination, show_filters, title.

Note: Older Yatra 2.x docs sometimes mentioned [yatra_cart], [yatra_checkout], or [yatra_mini_cart]. Those shortcodes are not registered in Yatra 3.x—checkout and booking flow use the plugin’s front-end routes and templates instead. See docs.wpyatra.com for URLs and page setup.

3.0.3

• Shortcodes: [yatra_trip_category] — lists trip categories in the same card layout as destinations, with optional filters, pagination (trip_category_page), and AJAX-friendly behavior (see TripCategoryShortcode + TripCategoryShortcodeAjax).
• Upgrades: version-gated Free upgrade runner; legacy payment tokens table dropped when applicable (see Upgrade_3_0_3).
• Discounts: REST and repository hardening (writable column whitelist; safer updates).
• Single trip: group discount discoverability in the sidebar; Similar trips links respect plain permalinks via yatra_get_trip_permalink(); enquiry modal Send Enquiry uses yatra-booking-button so primary color matches Check Availability and global --yatra-primary tokens.
• Admin / i18n: Trip Builder meal plan strings use shared labels; attribute icon picker preserves Font Awesome provider after save; front-end Important Info shows translated meal plan labels (yatra_meal_plan_label()).
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.x.

3.0.2.9

• Mobile booking bar: Improved sticky booking UI on small screens (date + travelers layout, full-width travelers dropdown opening upward, and reliable click targets).
• Admin caching: Fixed service cache invalidation so updates (including SEO fields) reflect immediately when cache is enabled.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.8.

3.0.2.8

• Booking UI: Added Advanced settings to select Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy pages; booking form now links to these pages (Privacy falls back to WordPress Settings → Privacy when unset).
• Fix (Usage Tracking): Moved StatsUsage into app/Services and updated references to avoid case-sensitive autoload issues on Linux hosts.
• Fix (Gallery Modal): Hardened gallery modal image URL resolution against LiteSpeed Cache lazy-load placeholders.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.7.

3.0.2.7

• Fix (Gallery Modal): Improved compatibility with LiteSpeed Cache lazy-load placeholders (base64 src) so the modal always opens the real image URLs.
• Compat (LiteSpeed Cache): Excluded Yatra hero/gallery selectors from LiteSpeed lazy-load and excluded Yatra trip assets from optimisation where needed.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.6.

3.0.2.6

• Fix: Composer autoload path was declared as includes/Admin/ (uppercase) but the directory on disk is includes/admin/ (lowercase); caused fatal include warnings on Linux/cPanel servers (case-sensitive filesystems).
• License: Removed stub LicenseController from the free plugin — all /yatra/v1/license/* routes are now registered exclusively by Yatra Pro’s own controller, eliminating any route conflicts.
• Admin UI (Additional Services): Added missing Add New Service button via the PageHeader component on the Additional Services screen.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.5.

3.0.2.5

• Admin: add Review + Upgrade notices (React UI + WordPress notices) with smart dismiss scheduling.
• Setup wizard: save step settings when navigating between steps.

3.0.2.4

• REST: implemented TripService::permanentDelete() so DELETE /yatra/v1/trips/{id}/permanent-delete no longer fatals (fixes permanent delete from trash and bulk actions).
• Admin (React): bulk trip actions rely on BulkActionToolbar confirmation only (removed duplicate window.confirm); improved bulk dialog copy for mark_* actions.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.3.

3.0.2.3

• Admin (React): moved fullscreen shell CSS into the document head to reduce wp-admin chrome flicker; added HTML/CSS boot splash and modulepreload for the admin bundle; primary sidebar navigation uses client-side URL updates so the PHP loading state does not repeat on every screen change.
• REST: registered License routes in the API registry so GET /yatra/v1/license works on the free plugin (License screen and scripts that probe it).
• Admin UI: hardened Departures and Availability trip dropdowns against TanStack Query cache shapes and /trips list payloads (fixes map / find errors when navigating without a full reload).
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.2.

3.0.2.2

• Maintenance / patch release. Safe to update from 3.0.2.1.

3.0.2.1

• Readme (WordPress.org): linked Pro gateways, modules, traveler features, and related mentions to wpyatra.com/pricing throughout the long description, FAQ, and quick links.
• Patch release; safe to update from 3.0.2.

3.0.2

• Readme (WordPress.org): reorganized the long description — the Yatra Pro section now appears before Blocks and shortcodes for a clearer Free → Pro → integration flow.
• Documentation-only release for the plugin directory listing; no code changes required for existing 3.0.x sites.

3.0.1

• Maintenance release: updated WordPress.org banner and directory assets (including screenshots) for the 3.x listing.
• Readme: shortened the plugin short description to meet WordPress.org’s 150-character limit so imports are no longer truncated.
• Minor fixes and polish; see wpyatra.com for release notes.

3.0.0

• Major 3.0 release: redesigned admin experience, streamlined booking and traveler account flows, expanded gateway and module architecture for Pro, and ongoing hardening for production travel sites.
