Customizing the Waitlist Form

Choose what travelers tell you when they join the waitlist

Every waitlist entry starts with a form. When the Form Editor add-on and Waitlist are both active, a Waitlist Form tab appears inside Form Editor. That's where you decide exactly which fields show up on the waitlist popup, from the traveler's name and email down to a phone number, address, or a custom field of your own.

Whatever you set up here is what you'll see later when you review a submission. Once a traveler joins, their answers show up in Upcoming Tours → Waitlist Details, ready to check from the eye icon on their entry.

Prerequisites

• You have installed and activated the Waitlist add-on.
• You have installed and activated the Form Editor add-on.
• You have WP Travel Engine updated to its latest version.

Opening the Waitlist Form

Adding a field to the Waitlist Form

You're not limited to the default fields. Click + Add Field on the Waitlist Form tab to add whatever extra field you need, then click Save Changes.

Whatever you add shows up on the Join Waitlist popup travelers see on the trip page, alongside the default fields (Full Name, No. of Travelers, Email Address, Phone Number, Message, and Address).

For the full list of available field types and settings, see the Form Editor documentation. Everything there applies to the Waitlist Form tab as well.

Where this data shows up

Once a traveler fills in the popup and joins the waitlist, everything they entered, including any field you added, becomes visible to you as the admin. Go to WP Travel Engine > Upcoming Tours, open Waitlist Details for that trip and date, then click the traveler's name or the eye icon next to their row to see their full submission.
