Story
How it came together
-
Why I built it
Tour shops need schedules, guide bios, and checkout in one place. Most options are a bare store or a heavy travel kit they will not use.
-
What I did
I built marketing pages with WordPress blocks and booking through WooCommerce. Brand, phone, hours, and the header button live in Appearance → Theme Settings. Operators never touch code.
-
What you can use
A tour shop can show the work, introduce the guides, and take bookings. The live concept is at walkridge.matthummel.com. Hire me to brand it or set up the shop.

Questions
Common questions
Is WalkRidge a WordPress tour theme?
Yes. WalkRidge is a WordPress theme built for licensed-guide tour companies: bookable tour products in WooCommerce, guide bios, an area context page, and a contact desk — without a page builder.
Do I need WooCommerce to use WalkRidge?
WooCommerce is optional. The marketing site, blog, and contact form all run without it. You only need WooCommerce if you want to sell bookable tour products through a cart and checkout.
What do I get when I buy WalkRidge?
The marketplace pack: walkridge.zip (upload in Appearance → Themes), a child theme starter, and HTML documentation. Optional companion plugins — Walkridge Bookings and Walkridge Field Map — are sold separately. Instant download after checkout.
How do I add my tour company's branding?
Go to Appearance → Customize → Identity. Brand name, phone, email, address, hours, the header CTA label and URL, and social links are all there. Upload your logo under Customize → Site Identity. No code required.
How do I build the marketing pages?
After activating the theme, go to Tools → Walkridge Blocks and click Seed pages. That creates your Tours, Guides, Area, and Contact pages with the right Gutenberg block layouts. Edit them directly in the block editor.
Can I white-label WalkRidge for a tour operator client?
Yes. Theme code is GPLv2 or later. You can install it for a client, customize it, resell services on top, or use the child theme as a white-label base.
Can you install or customize WalkRidge for my tour company?
Yes. Buy the pack for self-serve, or get help and I brand it, load your tour inventory, and hand off wp-admin editing to your team.
