## Àpèjúwe

Turn WordPress into a complete, self-hosted vehicle inventory system. Add and
 organize
vehicles, optionally decode VINs, publish searchable listings, and keep every inventory
record on the dealershipÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s own website. No LotPress account, subscription,
or page builder is required.

Built for independent dealerships:

 * Own the data: vehicles, photos, settings, and engagement totals remain in WordPress.
 * Manage the essentials: price, MSRP, mileage, condition, availability, specifications,
   features, photos, and video.
 * Help shoppers browse: filter and sort by make, model, year, body style, price,
   and mileage in responsive Grid or List views.
 * Present every vehicle: accessible galleries, detailed vehicle pages, related 
   listings, featured-vehicle carousels, and contact links.
 * Arrange the experience: drag, reorder, move, or hide vehicle-detail sections 
   with the visual Vehicle Display editor.
 * Understand interest: see first-party vehicle views and inquiry-click totals without
   an external analytics account.
 * Work with the site you have: use the bundled templates, shortcode, optional Elementor
   widget, or theme overrides.
 * Save data entry time: decode a VIN on demand through the United States National
   Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) vPIC service.

LotPress Inventory works with standard WordPress themes and does not require
 Elementor.
Developers can extend the stable vehicle schema, add display sections, or override
bundled templates without moving inventory data into a theme.

### Vehicle display editor

Open **Inventory  Vehicle Display** to arrange the sections shared by all vehicle

detail pages. Drag sections within or between compatible regions, use the region
menus and arrow buttons for keyboard-friendly arrangement, and turn optional sections
on or off. The vehicle heading remains required so every layout keeps a clear page
title. Resetting restores the bundled LotPress layout without changing vehicle records.

Under Display options, Price placement moves the sale price and any higher list

price between Vehicle heading and Vehicle Details. When placed in Vehicle Details,
the price uses a normal specification row with modest typographic emphasis. The 
default is Vehicle heading for existing and new layouts.

Add-ons such as LotPress Shopper Tools can register their own independently
 movable
sections. A tool must be enabled in its own settings and shown in Vehicle Display
to appear. Disabling a tool at its source prevents it from rendering even if its
layout section remains visible.

### Shortcode

Use `[lotpress_inventory limit="12" show_sold="no"]` to display inventory.

Supported attributes:

 * `limit`: Maximum number of vehicles to display.
 * `show_sold`: Set to `yes` to include sold vehicles.
 * `featured`: Set to `yes` to show only featured vehicles.
 * `carousel`: Set to `yes` to use the carousel layout when multiple vehicles exist.

### Theme overrides

Copy a template from the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s `templates` directory into the 
active theme at:

 * `lotpress-inventory/archive-vehicle.php`
 * `lotpress-inventory/single-vehicle.php`
 * `lotpress-inventory/vehicle-card.php`

Individual vehicle display sections can also be overridden under
 lotpress-inventory/
vehicle-sections/, using the same filenames found in the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s`
templates/vehicle-sections` directory. A complete custom single-vehicle.php override
remains in control and does not use the native Vehicle Display layout.

See `docs/vehicle-display.md` for the complete editor, responsive-layout, theme

override, and extension-section reference. Developers integrating inventory feeds
or custom VDP sections should also see `docs/integration-guide.md`.

### Extend LotPress Inventory

The free plugin is complete and does not hide included functionality behind a
 license.
Dealers that need native inquiry forms, payment and fuel-cost calculators, printable
vehicle sheets, guided website setup, a dealership theme, or managed product updates
can add those capabilities through the separate LotPress platform.

### External services

This plugin can contact the NHTSA Product Information Catalog Vehicle Listing
 (
vPIC) API when an authorized inventory editor clicks the Decode button beside a 
VIN. The request sends the entered VIN to NHTSA so the service can return vehicle
specifications. The request user-agent also includes the siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s home
URL so NHTSA can identify the requesting application. No NHTSA account is required,
and the service is not contacted automatically while browsing or editing other fields.

NHTSA vPIC API documentation:
 https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/

United States Department of Transportation privacy policy:
 https://www.transportation.
gov/privacy

Use of the vPIC service is subject to NHTSA and United States Department of
 Transportation
policies. Decoded values remain editable and are saved only when the WordPress user
saves the vehicle.

When a dealership adds a YouTube video to a vehicle, that vehicleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’
s detail page
 loads the video player from YouTubeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s privacy-enhanced`
youtube-nocookie.com` domain. The visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s browser therefore sends
request information, such as its IP address and browser headers, to YouTube when
the page loads. No YouTube account is required.

### Privacy

On vehicle detail pages, the plugin records aggregate vehicle views and inquiry

button clicks in WordPress post metadata. A key in the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s 
browser sessionStorage prevents duplicate view counts during the same browser session.
To reduce automated or repeated submissions, the site retains a keyed, one-way digest
derived from the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s network address for 30 minutes. The digest
cannot be reversed without the siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s private security salt and expires
automatically. Raw IP addresses and browser headers are not stored by the plugin.

This engagement information is not transmitted to LotPress or another analytics

provider. The plugin does not set tracking cookies.

See the External services section for the NHTSA VIN decoder and optional YouTube

player, including the data sent and the circumstances in which each is contacted.

### Bundled asset licensing

All code and bundled assets, including `assets/images/vehicle-coming-soon.webp`,

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

 1. Upload the `lotpress-inventory` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the
    plugin ZIP through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate LotPress Inventory.
 3. Add vehicles under Inventory in the WordPress dashboard.
 4. Visit `/inventory/`, or place `[lotpress_inventory]` on any page.
 5. Existing sites can run `wp lotpress images regenerate`; originals stay unchanged.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require Elementor?

No. The inventory post type, editor, archive, templates, and shortcode work without

Elementor. An optional widget becomes available when Elementor is active.

### What happens to vehicle records if the plugin is uninstalled?

Vehicle posts and their metadata are preserved to prevent accidental inventory
 
loss. Plugin-specific role capabilities and migration state are removed.

### Does VIN decoding happen automatically?

No. An authorized inventory editor must enter a VIN and click Decode before the

plugin contacts the NHTSA vPIC service.

### Why is a section visible in Vehicle Display but missing on a vehicle page?

The section may be disabled in the add-on that supplies it, or it may not apply 
to
 that vehicle. For example, the fuel calculator does not render for electric 
vehicles. A custom theme or Elementor single-vehicle template can also take control
of the page instead of the native Vehicle Display layout.
