Getting started

Updated Nov 3, 2026

Thank you for choosing Wayfare. A warm, editorial travel WordPress theme for tour operators and travel agencies, with tour packages, itineraries and online booking. This guide covers installing the theme, setting your site up exactly like the demo, and running it afterwards.

What's included

  • Wayfare: the theme, as a .zip file you upload to WordPress.
  • Wayfare Core: the companion plugin. It comes inside the theme package (in its plugins folder) and adds the site's features and the one-click demo import.
  • This documentation.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or newer
  • PHP 8.0 or newer
  • Elementor (free, from WordPress.org)

The demo import installs the required plugins for you, or you can install them yourself from Plugins → Add New.
