Hello,
I'm using the Small Business calendar for daily reservations on a fishing charter. A couple questions:
1. We have 3 time slots: 6-noon (morning half day), 1pm-7pm (afternoon half day), and 6am-2pm (full day). When someone reserves the "full day" it is displaying on the calendar as partially reserved. Any way we can make those reservations display as totally reserved?
2. What is the best practice for blocking off a full day that is unavailable for reservation (i.e. the boat needs repair, weather closure, vacation, etc.)? I see the Medium License has the option for seasonal availability, but what is your suggestion if we are unable to upgrade to that license?
Thank you in advance!

Hello.
1) Please use times selection in the booking form at the Booking > Settings > Form page in a way like this: Select Times:<br />[select rangetime "All day@@00:00 - 23:59" "morning half day@@06:00 - 12:00" "afternoon half day@@13:00 - 19:00"]
In the Booking Calendar Business Small version you will be need to make the "blank bookings" for full days for specific days to make such days as unavailable. you can do this at the Booking > Add booking page.
Kind Regards.
Hi
I'm interested to look further of using your program.
Can I know does this booking program has time filter?
We would like to set a fix set of time for tuesday to sunday. and certain extra time slot for weekend as we have extended hours on weekend. If there is not time filter, is there a way to configure the way i mention?
Hello Booking Calendar,
I bought this plug in some months ago and today I want to change my current theme on wordpress for DIVI but I want to keep my booking calendar plug in with all my parameters in. How have I to manage that please? Thx
Hello.
Settings and bookings of Booking Calendar does not depend from your active theme. So after switching to new theme all settings from Booking > Settings pages will be the same.
Only you need to recheck about inserting the Booking Calendar shortcode into the pages. Sometimes themes have own interface for editing pages.
Hello!
The working hours of resource are 08:00 to 16:00.
I created a calendar to book those hours with Starttime and DurationTime (max of 3hours).
The problem is...if a put a Starttime of 15:00 and a DurationTime of 3 hours (finish at 18:00), i can book, but my resource is suposed to be closed!
How can i solve this.
Thank you in advance!!!
Hello.
In this case you need to use “start time” and “end time” fields in your booking form (instead of duration time field there).
Kind Regards.
Ok, but in that way, the user can not book 3 hours in one time?
Why, not?
If visitor select start time 15:00 and end time as 18:00 so then visitor will book 3 hours in a row from 15:00 to 18:00
Kind Regards.
Hi,
I am using the business medium version and want to change the font size of the price that displays in the calendar. Is this possible? It is very hard to read.
Hello.
You can make this customization.
Please open this file ../{Booking Calendar Folder}/css/client.css
div.datepick-inline .datepick-days-cell div.date-content-bottom {
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: 600;
}
Please do not forget to clear browser cache before testing these changes.
Hello,
We bought the personal version and only want to show the calendar on each page for each resource.
In the free version you had a "Show" option. but in the personal paid version it is not there and people can book from the site. We don't want them to do that. We just want to show the days that the properties are already booked.
Thank you, although I have done all of that. The e-mails were sending before the update, and all other emails are sending from my website. I've tried other SMTP plugins, and it still isn't working. Again I can email users from my website, so I don't think that is it.
Any other suggestions?
Hello.
If the "WP Mail SMTP" plugin was not help, try to use some other SMTP plugin.
Please try to install this Post SMTP mailer (support: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/post-smtp/ ) and test it.
But you will be need to contact support of such specific plugin about any issue of configuration of settings mail plugin and sending or receiving emails.
Because after that all emails is sending through such plugins.
Otherwise, please recheck your error.log and mail.log in your server configuration, about any relative errors.
If you having troubles with checking these files, please contact support of your hosting company about this.
Kind Regards.
Hi,
I have the medium business version and am it for booking a guest house with customers arriving on either Monday, for four nights, Friday for either seven or four nights and some weeks only available for seven night bookings.
I have the cost default set to an amount (£100). I have set seasonal filters as the daily rate changes throughout the year and have applied advanced costs. The price changes are appearing on the dates.
I have set the start days for specific days of the week.
The specific days selection as follows: 4,7,11,14,21
I have set the deposit to be 25% if more than 30 days in advance.
How do I only allow 7 day bookings in, say, 1st-28th August?
When I do a dummy booking, the deposit amount comes out at 25%of the default daily cost , i.e. £25, not 25% of the booking.
Finally, something has happened so I can no longer select the days. Te date turns green when I try to click it but they won't select at all.
I am grateful for any pointers in the right direction.
Thanks
There was an issue that when I selected the dates is
