Instead of t timeslots selection you can use start time and end time selections or start time and time duration selections shortcodes at the Booking > Settings > Form page:
1) Star time and duration of time shortcodes, like this:
the start time and end time works. However, it does not prevent double réservations.
I want to rent an equipement to a single person, but with Start time and End time, there are no limits to the number of reservations.
It almost work with dropdown for start times and duration times. The start times already reserved are greyed out, and not available to click, which is good, but the durations are always available, so you could have the following configuration equipment reserved at 9am for 30 min, and someone could reserve the same equipment at 8.30 am for 2 hours. There would be an overlap.
Hello.
The selection of start time and end time or duration of time is available in drop down lists, but when visitor select specific option for time, that already booked, and try to submit new booking, so then system will show warning that this time already booked, and its does not possible to submit this booking. So prevent of double bookings will work in this case, as well.
In case, if you will have some issues with this, so then please check this.
Please open the General Booking Settings page and in the "Advanced section", please be sure that you have not activated this option: "Allow unlimited bookings per same day(s):". This option must be unchecked. If its checked, please uncheck it and update the settings.
If you still will have this issue, please recheck for the any cache plugins, like "WP Super Cache" or "W3 Total Cache". If you are using someone, please deactivate it or add the exception to the page with booking form for do not cache this page(s).
Kind Regards.

Hi, as this was only purchased 24 hours ago, what is the price to upgrade to the medium business please? Alternatively, do you have a refunds policy, as it is not clear that a medium business version is required, when my client is the only one person in the business.

Hi, When the client both approves or declines a booking the email goes to the site admin's email instead of the the person who made the booking.
After the email's "To:" the visitor's name and number is written, example: John Smith (HM2M2QHNF8) but the email address is the site's admin.
What setting do you think is wrong?
Thanks!
Hello.
At the Booking > Settings > Emails page iN Approve and Decline tabs of specific email templates you can specify only from email address. Also you can activate to send copy of this emails to admin email by making specific checkbox checked at these pages.
But general rule for these emails to send email confirmation to the email address of visitors who made the booking, and fill this email in the booking form.
Please note, you need to use shortcode like this [email email] at the Booking > Settings > Form page.
In case if you do not receive emails st all.
Please note, Booking Calendar is use standard WordPress wp_mail function for sending emails. This function can be overridden by other plugins.
Please check this troubleshooting instruction https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/no-emails/
The most probably you need to check the point #5 from this instruction and install WP Mail SMTP plugin which is ‘sending emails via php’ option and it can resolve that issue.
Hi, Thanks for the info.
I think site admin is getting emails because under Resources the User is set to site admin.
I changed each resource to the client's admin. His username [administrator] is now showing but it is in red. Is this red lettering correct?
Thanks!
Hello.
If it’s for titles and not for email, so then you can use it.
Kind Regards.

Could you help me ?
Here is the link : https://skiclubobernai.fr/chalet-du-champ-du-feu/reservation/
Have a nice day Anne
I tried different calendar models and with the black model, I have the months....
So it's OK.
I suppose we don't see the months because of the font color...in the other models.

Hello. I want the booking system to have that feature so that my customer can choose which product's they want to rent in a drop-down menu with pictures of the products. Is that possible?
My website is http://www.arasonevent.dk

Thank you. But the link you have sent my customers only can choose one product. I want them to be able to choose from a variety of products. Is that possible in any paid version?
So that I can put some kind of checkbox where they can mark all the product's they want to rent?
Hello.
Unfortunately the booking several booking resources (products) during one booking process does not possible. It’s obly possible to make several different bookings to book several booking resources.
Kind Regards.
Okay, the price for upgrade is that a one time cost or yearly cost?

Hi,
I want to adjust the available spaces for a single resource based on the date.
E.g
Resource has two available spaces on the 16th July. On 17th July, the same Resource will have four available spaces.
I want both to be the same resource and same calendar.
Is this possible and if so can you help me please?
Thank you
Hello.
With the same booking resource it’s does not possible. Only in case if your set capacity for this booking resource as 4 and then make blank bookings for some days to reduce the capacity on 2
If you need to make the specific number of bookings per days, then you need to check the Booking Calendar Business Large version, where is possible to make several reservations per specific FULL date(s) by visitors (not time slots). Please read more about it here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#capacity
At this version possible to set capacity of the booking resource, so date(s) in calendar will be available until number of reservations is less then capacity of the booking resource. But its possible to make booking only for FULL date, not a time slots (time slots in this version only saved as data into database, but do not apply to availability logic).
On Friday our resource has five spaces.
We filled two of these spaces in person by telephone (not through Booking Calendar) and these go into our real-life journal.
So I need to remove two spaces on booking calendar for the resource now on Friday.
But we have the same resource with five spaces on Saturday.
Nobody has come to us in person, so all five spaces are empty.
I hope this explains our position better. I think if I could adjust the availability of the child resource, then I could remove those days from one of the child resources thus bringing the availability from 5 to 3 on that certain day.
Thank you for you help
Hello.
You can just can add one booking for 2 slots at one day. And then create other booking for 5 slots at other day. You can add it at the Booking > Add booking page in Admin panel.
Kind Regards.
Hi, another question
We have one resource calendar with several dates a person could book.
On some days are different start and finish times.
Is there a way to make it show a different time for certain dates of the same resource?
Thank you
Hello.
Sorry, it’s does not possible.
Even more.
It’s possible to make several reservations per specific FULL date(s) by visitors (not time slots). Please read more about it here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#capacity
Kind Regards.
Okay, I really need this one to work.
Is there any way to do it?
For example, can I make two resources: one with Friday 9:00AM - 1:00PM and another with Saturday 2:00PM to 5:30PM.
Then show both of them on the same calendar?
Let me know what you think and if this is possible
Thank you
Hello.
Unfortunately, in actual versions withing one calendar it’s does not possible. Sorry.

2) We do not provide device of installing and configuring plugin at customer website. If you have specific questions about the Booking Calendar, we can help with this via emails or in support forum.

Hello,
I have the requirement to select multiple timeslots in the booking calender.
In my test (rangetime multiple) it did not work.
Is it possible?
Thx
Markus
Hello.
Unfortunately, its does not possible to select several timeslots (possible to select only one), if you are using timerange shortcode:
[select rangetime "10:00 - 12:00" "12:00 - 14:00" "14:00 - 16:00" "16:00 - 18:00" "18:00 - 20:00"]
Instead of t timeslots selection you can use start time and end time selections or start time and time duration selections shortcodes at the Booking > Settings > Form page:
1) Star time and duration of time shortcodes, like this:
Start time: [select starttime "10:00" "11:00" "12:00" "13:00" "14:00" "15:00" "16:00" "18:00"] Time Duration: [select durationtime "15 min@@00:15" "30 min@@00:30" "45 min@@00:45" "1 hour@@01:00" "1 hour 30 min@@01:30"]
for ability to book several consecutive hours during a day.
2) Or you can use start time and end time selections or time entering shortcodes:
Start time: [select starttime "10:00" "11:00" "12:00" "13:00" "14:00" "15:00" "16:00" "18:00"] End time: [select starttime "11:00" "12:00" "13:00" "14:00" "15:00" "16:00" "19:00"]
