Is it possible to make the e-mail field optional?
Hello.
Unfortunately it’s does not possible in actual versions of Booking Calendar. Sorry.
I want to set specific days at different trading hours (some days 9am - 5pm; other days 11am - 7pm) and patients to book hourly appointments. I also want to take payment in £ (GBP). Can this be done?
You can define cost as GBP at the Booking > Settings > Payment page and In your payment systems tabs there.

Hi, we are using Booking Calendar Business Large. I would like to make a customization (even if I have to touch the code) to enable the following:
If the there re any existing bookings for a particular date for one resource, make this day unavilable for other resources, too (no matter if the capacity is still available).
Thanks a lot for any hints, I also appreciate hints regarding the source code.
Regards
Michaela
Hello.
You can make dates as unavailable in one calendar, is such dates was booked in other calendar, by using aggregate parameter in the Booking Calendar shortcode.
Please read how manually to configure Booking Calendar shortcodes here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/shortcode-booking-form/
For example if you are having these 2 calendars with ID like these:
at the Booking > Resources page:
ID = 1 -- Calendar A
...
ID = 5 -- Calendar B
...
so then for first calendar you need to use this shortcode:
[booking type=1 nummonths=2 aggregate='5']
and for other calendar use this shortcode:
[booking type=5 nummonths=2 aggregate='1']
Kind Regards.

Hello.
Unfortunately, during import process, such info does not possible to show. Sorry.
Booking summary possible to show only, during creation new booking at the front-end side, after clicking on "Send" button before showing payment system forms.
You can activate this summary at the Booking > Settings > Payment page.

Hi Im having major problems, I set up my calendar with my booking form on the right side, but the booking form is overlapping my calendar (https://prnt.sc/qm3b5p) and have found no other issues, I followed the setup properly with the proper code: [booking type=1 nummonths=2 form_type='standard']
Please help!
Hello.
Its seems because of CSS conflict with some other plugin or theme.
Please try to deactivate one by one all your active plugins at the WordPress > Plugins menu and make testing after each plugin deactivation.
If its not help, please deactivate all your plugins and active the default WordPress theme. And then retest it again.
Otherwise please send the link to your page with booking form, where you are having the issue.

Hi,
I'm using the plugin for my website and I'm syncing Airbnb and Booking.com with it. The import of Airbnb/Booking.com works fine, but I do have a problem with the export. When I export the date with the ics file and import it in Airbnb, it exports ALL of it. Also the dates of Airbnb which has been important in the Website before. So after that in Airbnb Calender e.g. blocked dates are now blocked dates from the Website's Calender. So it exports all, not only the new bookings which have been made with Booking Calender.
Is it possible to export ONLY new Bookings from the Website in Airbinb/Booking.com? Or do I have an error in reasoning?
Thanks for your help!
Regards from Austria,
Patrick
Hello.
Unfortunately, its does not possible to "export ONLY new Bookings from the Website in Airbinb/Booking.com".
Plugin support exporting all bookings, does not depend where such bookings was made (created in the Booking Calendar or imported from some other .ics source).
Kind Regards.
Hi, okay that's a pitty. But thanks for the quick reply.
Patrick
Hi there
I am a beginner when it comes to wordpress. I need to use your bookings plugin and I added it into the site. But it looks wrong...its too small and I don't know how to change its size to stretch across the page. Also I need to change the colours.
2) You can select the different calendar skins at the Booking > Settings General page in Calendar section. If you need to customize your own calendar colors, so then you can do this in CSS file. please follow this FAQ instruction: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/change-skin-and-colors/
But I recommend to check the Booking Calendar Business Small version, as well.
The ability to book for the specific times possible in the Booking Calendar Business Small / Business Medium versions (and in higher versions for booking resources with capacity =1).
In lower versions of Booking Calendar (including free version), possible to make bookings for specific times only for specific restricted time-slots.
Please note if you will make the booking for the specific timeslot, this timeslot become unavailable for the other visitors for that selected date in current specific calendar.
You can configure the timeslots selections on the Booking > Settings > Form page. Please use the "shortcode generator" on the right side of that page for the correct generation of the shortcode.
You can use one"timerange" (timeslots) or "start time" and"end time" selections or"starttime" and "duration"of time selections shortcodes or even start time and end time entering shortcodes. Please read more about the booking form fields configuration here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-form-fields/
You can test the bookings for the specific time-slots in action on the live demo of Business Small version (which is configured by default for the bookings of specific time-slots) here: https://bs.wpbookingcalendar.com/ Other live demo you will need to reconfigure.
Kind Regards.
Hi,
(for your information: my resources are 5 rental cars, all are exactly the same type of car)
Can you please be so kind to tell me if your calendar can do the following?:
1) I saw that you can display the number of resources available when you hover over the calendar day, my question:
can you shade the calendar day e.g. yellow when only one resource is left on a given day? (I assume red shading for no resources left is already a feature 😉
2) Can you set a discount of say 10% on the total price which is only applied when somebody books a resources for say 7 days or longer?
3) Can you set another discount of say 10% on the total price which is applied when somebody books two or more resources at the same time?
4) Do 2 and 3 stack up ? (so if somebody books two resources for longer than 7 days they get 20% discount on the final price?
Thanks for making a great product, looking forward to hear from you,
Hello.
1) Sorry its does not possible. Its possible to show how many spots available in mouse over tooltips.
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).
Highly recommend, to check this article about configuration of capacity and availability for booking resources: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/capacity-concept/
It seems to me this might be similar to the feature I have been looking for in question 1) above.
May I ask you to have a look and tell me if this might be a solution for the functionality I am looking for?
Looking forward to hear from you
Hello.
Yes, its can be solution for the point #1, but you will be need to make CSS customization, as in that FAQ instruction.
Kind Regards.
Hi,
I am having trouble with setting up Paypal with your plugin.
Paiements work fine, but the redirection is never done on the page I stated in backoffice AND in Paypal account.
To resume what I've done :
I created a "Paiement success" page for my website.
In the settings of the plugin, under the Advanced Settings in Payment - Paypal, I stated in the input "Return URL from Paypal" (for success paiement) the URL of this page I created.
I also configure, in my Paypal Account, that users must be redirect after paiement, and put the same URL there.
Nevertheless, any success paiement from Paypal always redirect me to this kind of url : /wp-content/plugins/booking.bl.8.7.2/inc/gateways/wpbc-response.php?payed_booking=31&wp_nonce=157902588827.12&pay_sys=paypal&stats=OK
I don't understand what I did wrong...
Can you help me with that ?
And after visitor redirect to that page, after then its will be redirected to the "Success page" from your settings.
Please recheck once again that you do not configured anywhere of trimming URL of your website.
Kind Regards.
Hi,
Yes there is the URL of my website prefixed to what I copied to you but I didn't wanted to share it publicly in my first message.
The thing is this page is "nothing", so my users get an error/page not found everytime paiement through Paypal is over, instead of being redirected to "Paiement Success".
That is my problem.
I made multiple tests and I never get redirected to success page.
Can you help me with that ?
Hello.
1) Can you recheck about the any JavaScript errors, when you redirect to this page: ../inc/gateways/wpbc-response.php?payed_booking=.. ?
Also recheck your error.log in your server configuration, about any relative errors.
If you can not find error.log file, please contact support of your hosting company about helping in finding this file.
2) Because usually just after redirection to this page ../inc/gateways/wpbc-response.php?payed_booking=..
you have to be redirected to the "Success" or "Failed" page.
That first page, required for rechecking about the status of payment, approving o declining of booking.
Kind Regards.
Hi,
There are no Javscript error while redirecting from Paypal, neither any error.log logs for those events.
Still, my success paiement are going to a 404 error page with this URL : [mywebsiteadresse.fr]/wp-content/plugins/booking.bl.8.7.2/inc/gateways/wpbc-response.php?payed_booking=32&wp_nonce=157918272192.54&pay_sys=paypal&stats=OK
Totally by hazard, I updated the page (f5) after getting the 404 page from redirection of PayPal, and then I get the success paiement page. So it sounds like redirection is not made totallly, which is really strange.
Do you have any idea what that could be from ?
Thank you for your help,
Morgane
Hello.
What exactly JavaScript error do you have there ?
May be because of you server configuration you are having such issue of not ability to redirect?
Kind Regards.
Hi,
I don't have Javascript errors. And I don't have error.logs errors either.
I'll try to contact my server support but I never had a similar problem before and this is not the first time I'm using Paypal/redirection to thank you/success page so I highly doubt this is a problem from that side.
Will be back to you if anything change,
Thank you,
Morgane
