A lightweight and efficient WordPress plugin for managing boats and yachts, including galleries, specifications, and a clean theme‑inherited layout.

== Description ==

Boats Manager is a lightweight and efficient plugin for managing boats, yachts, and charter listings inside WordPress.

It provides:

* A custom post type: **Boat**
* A clean, theme‑inherited single‑boat template
* A responsive image gallery powered by **Swiper.js**
* Lightbox support via **GLightbox**
* Automatic thumbnail gallery generation
* Custom fields for boat details (length, cabins, year, price, region, type, etc.)
* SEO‑friendly markup and lazy loading
* AJAX archive filtering (type, region, cabins, length, price)

This plugin is ideal for yacht charter companies, brokers, marinas, or any business needing a structured boat listing system.

== Features ==

* Custom Boat CPT
* Custom taxonomies (Type, Region)
* AJAX archive filters
* Responsive gallery with Swiper
* Lightbox integration
* Template override support
* Classic theme compatibility
* Automatic Boats page creation

== Theme Compatibility ==

Boats Manager is designed to work best with **classic themes**, such as:

* Astra
* GeneratePress
* Kadence
* OceanWP

Classic themes automatically provide header, footer, and layout structure through `get_header()` and `get_footer()`.

Block themes (FSE themes like Twenty Twenty‑Four) do **not** provide traditional PHP templates and therefore **will not display the plugin’s header and footer correctly**.

For the best experience, we strongly recommend using a **classic theme**.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/boats-manager/`
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
3. Add boats under **Boats → Add New**
4. Add images and details using the built‑in custom fields

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need ACF? =
No. Boats Manager includes its own custom fields and does not require ACF.

= Can I customize the template? =
Yes. Copy any template from:
`/wp-content/plugins/boats-manager/templates/`
into:
`/yourtheme/boats-manager/`
and modify it safely.

= Does it support more than 10 images? =
Yes — the gallery automatically adapts to the number of images added.
