Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

No app to download. One QR code. Fewer repetitive questions.

Wi-Fi password? Check-in instructions? Parking?

House rules? Give guests one simple place to find the answers — on their phone, whenever they need them.

Create a digital Guest App for each vacation rental, holiday home or apartment. Guests scan a QR code or open a link, and the guide opens in their mobile browser. No app installation is required.

You spend less time repeating the same information. Guests get a clearer, more convenient stay.

External Services

The core guest-guide functionality does not send guest guide content to a third-party service. The plugin may display links configured by the site administrator, such as map, WhatsApp or review links. These services open only when a visitor follows a link.

Pro translation features use DeepL when configured by the site owner and require the owner’s DeepL API account.

Third-Party Code

The bundled QR encoder is based on Kazuhiko Arase’s QRCode for JavaScript and is distributed under the MIT License. The included license notice is located in assets/js/qr/.

Privacy

Guest Guide Manager stores guest guide content as WordPress data on the site. Site owners are responsible for information they publish, including contact details, property addresses and access instructions.
