Make your website Where Next? Ready
Add the Where Next Connector to your WordPress website and let visitors save attractions, events and places directly into the Where Next app with a single tap. No copying addresses, prices or opening times.

Use the WordPress Connector
The easiest way to support Where Next? is with the Where Next Connector plugin for WordPress.
The plugin lets you map your existing custom fields, taxonomies and featured images to the Where Next tag standard. If your site does not already store a value, you can add it manually using the override box.
Use the tags manually
Developers can also add Where Next tags directly to a page.
<meta name="wherenext:name" content="Portchester Castle"> <meta name="wherenext:address" content="Church Road, Portchester, Hampshire"> <meta name="wherenext:category" content="Castle"> <meta name="wherenext:website" content="https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/portchester-castle/"> <meta name="wherenext:openingTimes" content="Monday|10:00 - 17:00;Tuesday|10:00 - 17:00">
Show the badge
Sites that support the standard can display a “Works with Where Next?” badge to let visitors know the page can be saved into the app.
The WordPress Connector includes badge options for colour, light and icon-only versions.
Good for day out websites
Works with Where Next? is ideal for family blogs, attraction directories, tourism websites, museums, heritage sites, farms, parks, zoos, aquariums and event listings.
It is especially useful for websites covering places like English Heritage, National Trust, local attractions, family events and school holiday activities.
