What’s New in Booking Calendar Update 11.8 ?

New Global Booking Form Styles: with Light and Dark bordered, borderless, and soft-background presets, plus a fully configurable Custom style.
Two-Click Date Range Selection: in Booking Calendar Free and higher editions, allowing visitors to select the first and last booking dates.
Centralized Form Messages: Added a dedicated Form Messages settings page for date selection notices, validation errors, submission messages, and other visitor-facing text.
Other improvements...

Days selection preview: Configure single day, multiple days, range selection, start weekdays, and related selection rules while immediately seeing how the calendar behaves.
NEW: Added a dedicated Settings > Appearance / Theme page for configuring the calendar skin and booking form visual style.
Real booking form preview: Preview the real calendar and booking form using selected resources, month count, custom forms, and preview modes.
Other improvements...

Redesigned Setup Wizard with a floating Setup Bar that guides configuration across the relevant admin pages.
Adds front-end popup booking forms via [booking resource_id=1 popup=1] and [booking_popup]
Other improvements...

Added Working Time settings to Booking Calendar > Availability > General Availability, allowing administrators to restrict time-based bookings to specific working hours.
Flexible schedule control: Define default working hours for each weekday, then optionally set custom working time rules for specific booking resources.
Added the ability to create a new booking directly from a selected interval in the Time Slots Availability interface. The Add Booking popup now shows the selected start/end time fields and includes a toggle to use or ignore the selected timeline interval for the new booking.

Manage unavailable time intervals visually from Booking Calendar > Availability or directly from the bookings workflow using the new **Time Slots Availability** popup.
Administrators can choose a date range and block or unblock exact time intervals in an interactive timeline. The timeline clearly shows available times, booked times, unavailable time slots, and full-day unavailable states, making it much easier to understand real availability at a glance.

Administrators can also create a new booking directly from an available time interval. Simply select an available time slot in the popup, open the booking form with the selected resource, date, start time, and end time already prefilled, and save it as a new booking.
This makes Booking Calendar especially useful for appointment scheduling, service bookings, consultations, rentals, and any workflow where administrators need to quickly review availability and create bookings from the WordPress admin panel.
