Appearance and publishing
The plugin includes four visual styles: Elegant, Essential, Natural and Inherit from theme. Administrators can choose an accent colour, reorder sections, use an expanded or accordion layout, and publish either the full guide or an individual section.
Multilingual guides without extra plugins
Create separate guest content in English, Italian, German, French and Spanish. Place the matching shortcode on each translated page. WPML and Polylang are not required. The administration interface is available in English and Italian.
Full guide:
[hotelness_info]
Guide in a specific language:
[hotelness_info lang="en"]
Individual section:
[hotelness_info lang="en" section="stay"]
Available values for the theme attribute are elegant, essential, natural and inherit.
Privacy
The plugin does not create accounts, use cookies, track visitors or send information to Hotelness or any third-party service. Information entered by an administrator is stored in the site’s WordPress database and becomes public only when the shortcode is placed on a public page.
The optional Hotelness credit is disabled by default and can be enabled explicitly by an administrator.

FAQ
-
Are empty sections displayed?
-
No. An enabled section is displayed only when it contains at least one piece of information.
-
Can I publish a single section?
-
Yes. Use the
sectionattribute, for example[hotelness_info lang="en" section="stay"]. Stable English identifiers and the supported Italian aliases are accepted. -
Are WPML or Polylang required?
-
No. Add the shortcode with the appropriate language to each translated page, for example
[hotelness_info lang="de"]. If a requested translation is completely empty, the plugin uses the configured fallback language. -
Does the public guide work without JavaScript?
-
Yes. All public information remains readable. JavaScript only enhances the accordion and internal navigation behaviour.
-
Does the plugin send data to Hotelness?
-
No. The plugin makes no external requests and collects no telemetry.
-
What happens to the data when I uninstall the plugin?
-
The data is preserved by default. To remove it during uninstallation, define
HOTELNESS_GUEST_INFORMATION_DELETE_DATA_ON_UNINSTALLastrueinwp-config.phpbefore deleting the plugin.
