Tips

• Keep the wizard under 6–7 steps for completion rates.
• Use Budget tier notes to set price expectations.
• Style follow-up questions clarify adventure vs luxury preferences.
• Link exit-intent CTA to your Trip Builder page — Exit-intent popup.

Common mistakes

• Forgetting to publish the page with the shortcode/block.
• Disabling Review step — not possible; contact capture requires it.
• Expecting custom fields without conditional keys — “Show when field” must match an earlier field key exactly.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Builder blank on front end	Active Pro license; clear cache
No destinations in step	WP Travel Engine destinations taxonomy populated
Submission fails	Consent, captcha, rate limit — see Free troubleshooting
Two CTAs on page	Normal on non-builder pages; builder pages hide FAB
