Why use WordPress Marketplace and plugins?

As mentioned previously, the huge range of plugins available for you to download and use on your site is huge. Often you will have the option to choose from different plugins that aim to complete the same function but with minor differences and abilities which suit many different types and styles of websites.

Because plugins are such a beneficial addition to almost every website and they take relatively little time to find and set up, it really is worth checking out the range of plugins available. Using the plugin directory on WordPress is so simple that it only takes a moment to find great plugins for your site that instantly improve your website’s appearance, ease of use for visitors and it’s overall professionalism.

Again the ease of use for browsing Plugins for WordPress makes it really attractive to both new and experienced users. When you find a plugin that you like the look of, one can click on it to open up a section containing a page containing a more detailed description; allowing you to read more about it and get to know how it works, a small tutorial on how to install it and who it is intended for.

Hopefully, after reading through it you’ll know if the plugin will likely fit the range of functionality you desire and does what you need it to do.

Next, there’s a panel for reviews; here you can check the feedback from other users and see what they liked or disliked about it and the overall consensus on the plugin, this should be a big help in making up your mind if you’re undecided on which plugin to get.

Adding Plugins to your site not only increases its functionality but also importantly makes it more attractive and powerful for those who visit your website. Making it an easy and efficient way to give your website a fresh boost to new heights.

How can developers integrate a booking engine into the website of a hotelier?

1. Copy and paste bellow iframe code below any place on the hotelier’s website that you are going to use.

<iframe id=”searchIframe” style=”z-index: 88999999; position: absolute; background: transparent; display: flex; justify-content: center” src=”https://neo.cultbooking.com/CPC/iframe.php?agentcode=58078&hotelcode=60114&lang=en” height=”600px” width=”100%” frameBorder=”0″ title=”Iframe Example” ></iframe>

2. For each specific hotel, we should change the hotel code (example 60114), to get the hotel calendar.

3. In the same way, we can get a translated calendar by changing the parameter lang.

Note:

Some little changes required in the Iframe style depend on the hotelier’s website design and placement like where they want to put the Cultbooking Iframe calendar.
