## Description

Boats Manager is a lightweight and efficient plugin for managing boats, yachts, 
and charter listings inside WordPress.

It provides:

 * A custom post type: **Boat**
 * A clean, theme‑inherited single‑boat template
 * A responsive image gallery powered by **Swiper.js**
 * Lightbox support via **GLightbox**
 * Automatic thumbnail gallery generation
 * Custom fields for boat details (length, cabins, year, price, region, type, etc.)
 * SEO‑friendly markup and lazy loading
 * AJAX archive filtering (type, region, cabins, length, price)

This plugin is ideal for yacht charter companies, brokers, marinas, or any business
needing a structured boat listing system.

### Features

 * Custom Boat CPT
 * Custom taxonomies (Type, Region)
 * AJAX archive filters
 * Responsive gallery with Swiper
 * Lightbox integration
 * Template override support
 * Classic theme compatibility
 * Automatic Boats page creation

### Theme Compatibility

Boats Manager is designed to work best with **classic themes**, such as:

 * Astra
 * GeneratePress
 * Kadence
 * OceanWP

Classic themes automatically provide header, footer, and layout structure through`
get_header()` and `get_footer()`.

Block themes (FSE themes like Twenty Twenty‑Four) do **not** provide traditional
PHP templates and therefore **will not display the plugin’s header and footer correctly**.

For the best experience, we strongly recommend using a **classic theme**.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/boats-manager/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Add boats under **Boats  Add New**
 4. Add images and details using the built‑in custom fields

## FAQ

### Do I need ACF?

No. Boats Manager includes its own custom fields and does not require ACF.

### Can I customize the template?

Yes. Copy any template from:
 /wp-content/plugins/boats-manager/templates/ into:/
yourtheme/boats-manager/ and modify it safely.

### Does it support more than 10 images?

Yes — the gallery automatically adapts to the number of images added.
