Hello,

Great looking theme you have here. I have a few pre-purchase questions for you and your team. Not trying to scare you with bizarre requests. Our developers are wanting to customize this theme in some ways and are just wondering as to whether or not some of the following requests are possible with this theme?

1) is it possible to swap areas in the floating “Make a Reservation” widget on the home page with category drop downs for filtering of listings and a search bar?
2) If not, is it possible to customize the “Advanced Search” widget by removing the check in/out and guest drops downs…replacing them with property listing categories and sub category dropdowns for filtering
3) can this all be done without affecting the existing booking widget on the individual property pages?
4) is it possible to have owner info (reviews, name) appear in the all property listings in the grid?
5) is it possible to add links to owner profile and additional contact info (phone number, email, etc) to the “contact the owner” pop up modal

Thanks for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you.

-David

Hi David,

1) is it possible to swap areas in the floating “Make a Reservation” widget on the home page with category drop downs for filtering of listings and a search bar?

Hi, Not without custom coding – There is no option in theme admin to pick what fields would appear on the search form. However you can edit the form and add the category dropwdown. Of course a change will be required on the search results script also.

2) If not, is it possible to customize the “Advanced Search” widget by removing the check in/out and guest drops downs…replacing them with property listing categories and sub category dropdowns for filtering

Is the same answer as on no1. You would have to do the change at code level since there is no such option in theme admin.

3) can this all be done without affecting the existing booking widget on the individual property pages?

Yes – the booking widget is separated from advanced search form .

4) is it possible to have owner info (reviews, name) appear in the all property listings in the grid?

Hi , yes this is also possible but als0 with code changing. There is already a second property unit type that has owner picture, so you can extend that functionality (you can change from type1 to type2 in theme admin.) . For reviews will be a little more complicated but it can be done.

5) is it possible to add links to owner profile and additional contact info (phone number, email, etc) to the “contact the owner” pop up modal

I;m not sure i understand “add links” . If you want to add some standard fields like “your website” you will need to do that by custom coding. Otherwise you can add links in the content form (description) On ” additional contact info ” – Yes, you can do that also but again only via code change.

From what i see all the changes you want can be done but only via custom coding.

Thanks

Is this theme compatible with Woo commerce?

Hi, No the theme is not WooCommerce compatible. Thank you

Is this theme working with WPML ?

Hi, Yes the theme is compatible with WPML. Thank you for your interest

Hello Anna, On the Demo, Search by city “New York” etc , is there a setting to use to remove the Header background image to reflect on all the Cities so none of the Cities will have a header background image and also remove the space?

Also, please, Take a look at Ticket ID #10180 .

Thanks

Hi, I see that my colleague already answer you in the ticket system. If you have other questions please continue to post in the support system. Thank you

Hello, Anna, This is a friendly request/suggestion for a Feature in next Update:
  • Ability to List Rooms and associate ROOM TYPES by their QUANTITY and track availability. I will pay for Customization Thanks

HI, Thank you for the suggestion. I will add it to the wish list and will consider it for the one of the future updates. Also I’m not sure i fully understand this feature. If you can post more detailed explanations in the ticket system will help a lot. Thank you again.

First of all congratulations on an amazing theme. Great work and packed full of features. I was just wondering would it be possible to get a HTML version of this theme? Thanks in advance !

Hi, Thank you for the comment. At this moment there is no html version of this theme and i don’t think we will release one in the near future. Thanks

Great theme.. well done! Questions for you: Coupons accepted at checkout? If yes – possible to add coupon per listing?

A good feature to include. Thank you for the response to my private message.

Few Q’s.

1. Am I right in thinking that user can charge for property listing and earn commissions or one or the other?

Hi, The website owner can earn money in these situations: 1. Get a commission on each confirmed booking ( % can be set in theme admin)

2. Get a fee from the users that list a property. You need to set the theme in “per listing” mode and set the submission price

or

3.Get a fee from users that buy a subscription (a package that let them publish x listings – packages are editable from admin).

I hope i answer your question.

Thanks

Yes, Thank you.

hi but if i want receive the the percentual on booking ?

Hi, If you , the site admin wants to get a % of the booking you need to set this value on theme options. If this is set then you will receive this % when the user will pay to confirm the booking. Thanks

Hi. I can’t access the backend demo account. Please let me know as I’d like to check it out. thanks

Hi, Some other buyer tested the change pass feature :) You can test now with user/1234. If you still cannot login you can signup with your own email or you can open a ticket at support.wpestate.org and will create a demo account for you. Thanks

Hello Anna!

Here in Items Details/Detailed Featured Lst… one of the features says “Custom calendar showing the price and availability”... it means as well that if we set only custom prices in calendar also will be able to see them in the page property in Price Details section or elsewhere???

Thank you

Hi. You make a good point. We will add this info in the price section with the next version. Thank you

Hello Anna, can you confirm me if this feature has finally added in today’s update? Thank you

Hi, No, not yet- we did a minor update with a bug fixing and improvements on the “show reservation dates” over calendar. But don;t worry, this feature will be released. The theme is quite fresh and there are a lot of new things that are requested so it may take a few. Thanks

Hello

I find it disturbing to have 2 tabs “my booking”. When the vacationer creates an account to read these messages: we find the same backend of the owner. Could create a session for vacationers? or find a way to directly access the inbox by clicking a link on the email after connection? thanks

Hi,

The links are not the same – one is for your bookings and one is for reservations. You can rent your place and you can book other user listings (this is how the airbnb and the rest of the biggest sites do it).

However i will add your request to the wish list and will consider it adding as a feature in a next update.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Anna,

Don’t get to find in Pages (backend wp) a way to attribute a Template as a Page Attribute in order to change the properties page design.

The one that comes in http://themeforest.net/item/wp-rentals-booking-accommodation-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/12921802 is different from the demo content.

Is any tutorial or is some properties templates missing on my demo?

Can’t get to find where to put the photo header or full width the map on the foot like the link example above.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Can’t get to find where to put the photo header or full width the map on the foot like the link example above. If you are referring to the property page you can set this type of design by going into appearance and set “Property Page Design Type” to type 2.

If you want to change the header on the rest of the property you have the options to do this globally in Appearance – Header Type or for each page (except listing page ) in wpadmin , when you edit the page in the “Header Options” section.

I hope i answered your question. Thanks

Good afternoon. I want to use your theme. I have a question. I want to create a website where I will rent a villa. I do not need an agent. I will work as a single agent. Can I give a role for accounts registered user “agent” (It’s me) and “The Client”? I want to registred users could only take villas for rent but could not add his property.

Hi, I’m sorry but i don;t understand your question – can you rephrase please. Thanks

Hello. You do not understand I do not speak English, I try to explain again. I need to share the right of registered users to access the control panel so that users who want to rent the villa could not add their property. I noticed that in the control panel you use the content type “page” if I can when you publish pages to the Control Panel to restrict access to certain items for the user role “subscriber” and “User”, so that they can not add and publish your property. I need to add in the search box items or modify existing items so that the person in finding a villa in the form of search could be selected from the drop down list “coast”, “distance to the beach”, “number of bedrooms”. I see that some items, such as “number of bedrooms” are already included in your template but there is on the search form some items that I do not need, can I rename them on the dates of my items so that they are displayed in the search form and were functional? Is it possible, in principle, global change and customize the search box, modify, configure, delete the items in the search box? What are the configuration options in the search form there? I do not have many types of property like houses, offices and apartments. I have only the villa, that’s what I need to set up and modify the search box and other items in your template. Can I connect the payment method “cash on the spot” and “transfer”? Is it possible to take into account the advance payment when a person who wants to reserve the villa, paid through the site prepayments and the balance in cash on the spot? Can I include the cost of renting a villa extras such like airport transfer, daily cleaning and the like? I need to set the price for a week. I see that in your template, you can set the price per night, this can be changed? that in the module you use for the booking calendar?

Hi,

Here are my answers

I need to share the right of registered users to access the control panel so that users who want to rent the villa could not add their propert

You can not disable the add propery page (use it in the beginning when you add the listings ). In this way users will only be able to rent and not to add.

can when you publish pages to the Control Panel to restrict access to certain items for the user role “subscriber” and “User”, so that they can not add and publish your property

We don;t have such feature.

I need to add in the search box items or modify existing items so that the person in finding a villa in the form of search could be selected from the drop down list “coast”, “distance to the beach”, “number of bedrooms”

You can do that only by code change. You would have to edit the search form and add / delete items and then adjust the search functions to consider the new items.

Can I connect the payment method “cash on the spot” and “transfer”? Hi, I don;t think i understadn 100%. Here is how the booking system works now: http://help.wprentals.org/2015/10/28/how-booking-works/

Is it possible to take into account the advance payment when a person who wants to reserve the villa, paid through the site prepayments and the balance in cash on the spot? Yes this is how it works now – see the above link You have as default city fee and cleaning fee that can be set. Also when issue you invoice you can add extra items like airport transfer or you can issue discounts.

Can I include the cost of renting a villa extras such like airport transfer, daily cleaning and the like?

I need to set the price for a week. I see that in your template, you can set the price per night, this can be changed? You can set the price per day + a discounted price per day if the user rent more than 7 days + a discounted price per month if the user rent more than 30 days

Thanks

Hi Anna, I see that the deposit percentage is set at a global level for all properties. Is it possible to set this for each property separately?

Hi , Unfortunately this is not an option at this moment. I would add this to the wish list and will consider it on the next theme updates. Thanks

Hi Anna,

This theme looks perfect you did a great job. I was wondering if there is a possibility to add some custom fields like in wpresidence theme ?

Thanks

Hi, You can custom fields but those can be used/appeared only on property page.The custom fields in Wp Rentals are not searchable yet. You would not be able to use it on Advanced search forms since there is no “custom fields” option for search. Thanks

Hey Anna,

Thanks again for the great theme!

I have a small question. I changed the background of the theme to a static image and I would like to write some text on it (such as in this example : http://i.imgur.com/9kVKcY3.png?1 )

Is it possible? Or do I have to add it myself manually?

Secondly it seems there is a problem when I add a property (i assigned it to a user). It says: “Property not found”

Thirdly: when I am connected to my account (user, not admin) I do not see the many options available (bookings, resevations, ...) like I See in the demo. I just see “Log out”

Thanks

Second question does not need to be answered :-) However I have a new question: how do I set the price of property “per month” and not per night? Thanks!

Also: the Google Maps does not load in advanced search, can you help with that? Thanks!

Hello,

1. have a small question. I changed the background of the theme to a static image and I would like to write some text on it (such as in this example : http://i.imgur.com/9kVKcY3.png?1 )

In the screencapture you send i see you are reffering to the image in the header. To put text over the image, (and even animated it) you can create a revolution slider and use it for that page or as a global option.

3. when I am connected to my account (user, not admin) I do not see the many options available (bookings, resevations, ...) like I See in the demo. I just see “Log out”

You need to create the dasboard pages, Look over this video to see how you can do that : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HcgLdvpY8o. (you can check the rest of the videos here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HcgLdvpY8o&list=PLEQZUYyA_PUmbUBXepGKk8UOLIn9AMFCf)

4.how do I set the price of property “per month” and not per night? Thanks! Also: the Google Maps does not load in advanced search, can you help with that? Thanks!

The system is to be used for short term rentals : so it doesn’t have the option to rent by the month. However you have the option to set a discount price for the one that that rent the place for 30 days or longer. It can be set in the same place where you put the price per day.

For the google maps – not loading. I’m not sure i understand the issue.

Please open a ticket at http://support.wpestate.org/ and post there the url of the page. Also please open a ticket for any other questions you may have. It would be much easier to answer and track your questions. Thanks

Hi Anna, Is that possible for users to edit there advertise from backend after being sent? Is there any notification system to users when a new place is posted (favorites as WpResidence)? Thanks, Daniel

Hi Daniel, Is that possible for users to edit there advertise from backend after being sent? If you mean : Users can edit their listings after it was sent – yes they can do that. Depending on theme settings you chose they may need to wait for admin to check their update .

Is there any notification system to users when a new place is posted (favorites as WpResidence)? Unfortunately this feature is not preset in WpRentals(at least in this version).

Thanks

Hi Anna,

Thanks for the quick update! Is there the next time an opportunity to receive only the updated files? I have my website customized in PHP because I would often have more text than when I do it with poedit. Then, I only need to always adjust the files that have been updated and not the whole theme!

Hi, I strongly recommend to do customization using Chlid Themes. In this way you would be able to update without problems. If you change the original files it would be hard to manage any updates.

To answer your questions: i think it would be possible to give you that list of files however please note that the list would be long and updates would require manual work . So please go with the child theme option. THanks

hello Anna, is it posible to update theme via wp-envato toolkit?

Hi cmsbox

I didn’t test this solution (it’s in plan, but didn’t have the chance to test yet). So I cannot advise at this moment.

Thank you Anna
