Override the templates available within WP Travel plugin

Not satisfied with the default templates provided by the WP Travel plugin? No worries! You can easily override and customize the template files to better match your design and functional requirements.

Follow the steps below to safely override existing templates:

Step 1: Create a Child Theme

To begin, create a child theme based on the current theme you’re using.

Step 2: Activate Your Child Theme

Once created, go to your WordPress dashboard and activate the child theme from Appearance → Themes.

Step 3: Create a wp-travel Folder

Inside your child theme directory, create a new folder named:
📁 wp-travel

This folder will house all the template overrides.

Step 4: Copy the Template You Want to Override

Locate the template you wish to override in the WP Travel plugin.
For example:
wp-travel/templates/shortcode/itinerary-item-list.php

Now replicate the same folder structure inside your child theme like this:
your-child-theme/wp-travel/shortcode/itinerary-item-list.php

You can copy the original template file from the plugin and paste it into this new location.

Note: The folder and file structure must exactly match the original path in the plugin for the override to work.

Step 5: Customize the Template

Once the file is in your child theme, you can freely modify the content, layout, or functionality as needed.
