Hello.
What version number of Booking Calendar do you use ?
This issue was fixed in the latest update of the plugin. After the visitor is click on the "Send button", this button have to become inactive.
If you are using the free version, please download latest version from the wordpress directory. You can request the new update of paid versions of Booking Calendar on this page: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/request-update/
If you are using the latest version 5.0.3 and still have this issue, please recheck your page for the any JavaScript errors, and try to fix them.
ok, I think we will use the new version
We use Business Large version, and currently we have problem when the guest double or triple click on the submit button, because it generate 2 or 3 bookings for the same person, which also take out the capacity. Is there away we can fix this? please help. Thanks.

Hi there,
I am trying to display just the calendar on a page in a wordpress site.
When I insert the calendar it begins to load and gives a message of "calendar is loading". This then disappears and nothing displays. When I inspect the code it does actually load the code.
I have tried inserting it with the shortcode, with php 'echo do shortcode' and with the booking calendar widget. All give the same result.
I am not using more than one instance of the plugin.
Hello.
You are have the several JavaScript errors and thats why you are have that issue.
Error: TypeError: jQuery(...).prop is not a function
Source: https://www.goldcoastbeachfronthouse.com.au/wp-content/plugins/booking/js/wpdev.bk.js
Line: 1098
Error: TypeError: jQuery(...).datepick is not a function
Source: https://www.goldcoastbeachfronthouse.com.au/wp-content/plugins/booking/js/wpdev.bk.js
Line: 241
The reason of these errors, is because you are overriding the jQuery library.
Firstly you are load this jQuery Library, and its correct:
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.goldcoastbeachfronthouse.com.au/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.10.2'></script>
But then your theme is load this old jQuery library, which is override the previously declared jQuery variables:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Please remove the last loading of the jQuery lib in your theme (probably its inside of the header.php file of your theme).
Kind regards.
Hi
I am using bookings in my website. Back in time, the fields where translated using the .po and .mo files -> I used english, german and french. now that the fields are triggered from the frontend, I don't know how to use them in the different languages. I'm using the free version of booking.
Any idea on how I could bring my site back to multilanguage?
thank you.
best regards

Hello.
Unfortunately in the actual 5.0.3 update of Booking Calendar Free version is not possible to use the Form fields labels in the several languages. (right now its possible only in the paid versions of Booking Calendar).
I will fix it, and its will be available in the next update of plugin.
So you will be able to define the Labels of form fields on the Settings > Fields page in format like this: First Name[lang=de_DE]Vorname[lang=fr_FR]Prénom
Thanks for the great support, you guys are really reponsive.
I have a question on parent/child resources for calendar and search which I can see has been asked before. Sorry for the long question but the parts are related.
For a simple example, lets say I have two boats and one cottage as my resources. So:
Boat A - ID 1
Boat B - ID 2
Cottage - ID 3
Then I would like to group the boats, so I can have a calendar that shows 'availability: 2', and search the 'Boats' parent to show results for 'Boat A' and 'Boat B':
Boats - (ID 4)
- Boat A - ID 1
- Boat B - ID 2
Cottage - ID 3
1. Calendar question
----
I can set 'Boat A' and 'Boat B' to have parent 'Boats', but that means capacity = 3, which I only want capacity = 2. So I could make 'Boat B' a child of 'Boat A', but that means when people are veiwing the 'Boat A' ID calendar will see 'Boat B' as a bookable result which is confusing. For our boats people are specifically wanting to book 'Boat A' as they are special 'named' boats with their own character. (Also as another point this means the 'Boat B' calendar ID is different as it will never show 'Boat A')
For the parent 'Boats' page when people want to check all availabiliuty not just a specific boat, is there is any way to have a calendar showing availibility for the 2 boat resources without the parent or Cottage showing? I hoped [booking type='1,2' form_type='Standard'] might work but unfortunately it dosen't.
Trying [bookingselect label='Please select the resource:' form_type='standard' nummonths=1 type='1,2'] kind of works, but it means people need to select multiple times, to find availibility, when wpbookingcalendar already provides the ability to look aross muliple resources for availibility.
2. Search questions
-----
The same question for search. I would like people to find all boats, and not the cottage. I could use a [search_category] of 'Boats' (I have the business large edition), but that dosen't help with the calendar question above unless Calendars can use a category or [search_category] also?
Also, is there any way to have more than one search form?
I have another booking system I have to integrate with, at present I am using the wpbooking calendar search form with javascript to switch forms, but the shortcode I have written [external-booking] is not being called, the html output just shows the text [external-booking] (it works other places on the site so I think it is being ignored)
It would be great to have an option to 'Exclude parent from availibility', I think this would solve both calender and search questions.
Hello.
the correct way to configure booking resources is to have them, like this:
Boat A – ID 1
- Boat B – ID 2
where Boat A - its parent booking resource with capacity = 2.
You can make the individual booking (select the "Boat A" as single not the "parent" resource) for the each specific booking resources, only at the admin panel in the "Add booking page". You are need to select the second booking resource after parent resource in the selectbox at the Add booking page in admin panel - its will be single booking resource. Please recheck it.
If you want to make the booking for the specific boat in the front-end (not using the parent resource), so then you are need to not use the "capacity concept" (create parent and child resources) at all, because then its have no sense. In the search results you will see just 2 separate booking items for the 2 different boats in this case.
I like what I see thus far and I'm considering buying the small business version, however, I would like to know how to change the email notification sender's name. It currently comes from "wordpress"
I receive the admin notification that a new booking needs my approval... When I confirmed it, the customer received the approved notification, both of which came from "wordpress"
Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Hello.
The Booking Calendar is use the wp_mail function, which is possible to override by other plugins.
1) If you are using the paid version of the Booking Calendar please recheck at the Booking > Settings > Emails page in the each tab, that the field "From" do not have "WordPress title.
2) Please recheck in the WordPress > General Settings the admin email field and recheck that there are no "WordPress title"
3) Also try to open the wp_options table in your DB (using the phpMyAdmin tool or some other DB tool),
Find the option with name "admin_email" and recheck that the email for this field do not have the "WordPress" title.
If its not help, please try to deactivate one by one your active plugins and retest it, may be some other plugin is overwrite the email sending functionality.
Kind regards.
Good morning,
Congratulation for you plugin, it's marvellous!
I'm going to build a WordPress website with your booking calendar for a client of mine (a dentist).
I've been looking for the calendar widget, is it here https://bl.wpbookingcalendar.com in the right column?
Cause I would like to create a sidebar in all pages with the booking calendar but I need the calendar table separated from the form of personal details! Can I use the booking calendar fixed in the sidebar and the booking form in a separate page?
Thanks in advance,
Emanuela
Hello.
Thank you for interest to the Booking Calendar.
Unfortunately, such configurations like having the calendar in one place and booking form in other page is not possible. Sorry.
The calendar and booking form have to be in the same place, its can be just have the different structure, but its have to be in the same place.
Kind regards.
Hi,
I am trying to change the language of the booking calendar plugin into french ( I am working on a french website) and cannot figure out how to do it.
Can you help me?
Thanks
The booking calendar is support changing the interface based on locale of the site. So you are need to have the correct locale settings at the config.php file at the root of your site.
The Booking Calendar is use the active locale of the site for the activation of the specific language from the ../booking/languages/ folder.
For activating the specific translation you have to activate the locale at the config.php file at root of your WordPress installation.
If you are use the free version, so then you are need to make the FULL reinstall of the plugin, its because the email template and labels to the booking form is saved to the DB during activation of the plugin and you are need to make this reactivation. Its mean that the exist bookings and settings will be erased. Here is instruction how to check it or fix/add translations: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/make-translation-of-wp-plugin/
If you are using the paid version of the Booking Calendar and need only the booking form labels at the client side of your site in different language, so you can customize the booking form at the Booking > Settings > Fields page at top form. Please test it at the live demos here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/
Hi I have a question on search. In the search form settings, I would like to add classes to the tags, like you can add "class" into
I would like to add a class in the search form settings in the [search_check_in] tag so it uses my default styling for date fields, and also would like to add the placeholder="Choose date" into the box that disappears when they chose a date, is this possible? Or is there a way to do this with javascript?
Alternatively, is there a way to use <input id="booking_search_check_out" class="hasDatepick" type="text" name="check_out" value="" size="10"> in the search form instead of the tag [search_check_in]?
Hello.
You can use these shortcodes in a little other way for having CSS classes: <div class="my_class"> [search_check_in] </div>
So then you can access to the search field using this

So then you can access to the search field using this
.my_class input { }
