Hi there,

Great theme and I might be interested in it.

I have some questions first:

1) The demo with the user/pass it isn’t working, can you give us the user and pass ?

2) When a booking is made or a message is sent to the owner, apart from receiving an email, when he logs in to his account, is there any red label / red icon, or something like this on top that lets the owner know that he has a booking/message ?

3) same question as 2) but this time for the registered buyer

4) when registering, is there any way to register as an owner or as a buyer and don’t let the buyers be also owners and list their listings ??? Have the option to register as a buyer, as an owner or as a both of them ?

5) Is the website multilanguage ?? Can the user/owner change the language of the websites look/menus ??

6) Is the website multicurrency ?? How does this work ??

7) What payment methods can the admin of the website add ?? Is it possible also woocommerce ??

8) The admin can charge for the owners listing or once the user books or for both ?? Any other options ?

9) Can the owner manage the bookings from inside his panel and add bookings that are made by phone in order not to show that dates in the listings when a user search for that dates ?

10) Does the theme uses VisualComposer in order to change its looks ??

11) Can the admin add custom fields or erase fields ??

12) Can the admin have total control of the fields he creates or are some fields that must to appear allways ??

I think for now that’s it.

Thanks

Hello, Thank you for your interest

1) The demo with the user/pass it isn’t working, can you give us the user and pass ? Other buyers are testing the change pass option :) Is better to just signup with your email account and you would be able to access the user dashboard.

2) When a booking is made or a message is sent to the owner, apart from receiving an email, when he logs in to his account, is there any red label / red icon, or something like this on top that lets the owner know that he has a booking/message ? +

3) same question as 2) but this time for the registered buyer

Both users will receive an email letting him now that he has a new message/booking/invoice. Also in the user dashboard we have a messaging system and he will see that there is an unread message.

4) when registering, is there any way to register as an owner or as a buyer and don’t let the buyers be also owners and list their listings ??? Have the option to register as a buyer, as an owner or as a both of them ?

A user can put a place for rent but also rent a listing. There are not 2 separate accounts and there is no point of doing that. All the major sites do it like this (for ex airbnb)

5) Is the website multilanguage ?? Can the user/owner change the language of the websites look/menus ??

The site is working with WPML ( multi language plugin) but you would need to buy a separate license from then

6) Is the website multicurrency ?? How does this work ?? Yes it does and you can see it in action on the demo site: wprentals.org

You set a main currency and secondary cirrencies. For secondary currencies you also set their parity against main currency. When a user change the currency from the dropdown widget the site will transform all values using the parity value you set in admin.

7) What payment methods can the admin of the website add ?? Is it possible also woocommerce ??

The theme is not made to work with woocomerce (this is a e shop plugin ) Payments can be made via Paypal and Stripe.

8) The admin can charge for the owners listing or once the user books or for both ?? Any other options ?

Admin can charge a deposit fee (you set that in admin) for any bookings

Admin can charge users that publish a listing (charge per listings) or Admin can create membership packages and charge user for membership subscription.

9) Can the owner manage the bookings from inside his panel and add bookings that are made by phone in order not to show that dates in the listings when a user search for that dates ?

Yes he can do that. He can also block dates for booking made outside the site.

10) Does the theme uses VisualComposer in order to change its looks ?? Yes

11) Can the admin add custom fields or erase fields ?? He can ad custom fields (but those cannot be used in search forms). The default fields – if you don;t fill them it would not appear. If you want to delete theme you need to delete them via code changing.

12) Can the admin have total control of the fields he creates or are some fields that must to appear allways ?? There are some default fields and he can add unlimited other fields.

Thanks

OK, can you please tell me which are the default fields that can’t be erased ?? Thanks

Hi Bundyflavour

In this help http://help.wprentals.org/2015/10/28/property-custom-fields/ we have a screenshot with where custom fields are added.

All the rest are default fields.

Thank you Anna

android and ios app ?

Hi,

I’m sorry but such apps are not available .

Thank you

Hi, How properties owner get paid… can you explain the process.. Thanks for the help!

Hi, Please look over this link : http://help.wprentals.org/2015/10/28/how-booking-works. It explain how the bookings process works.

Please let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks

Hello Anna, a pre purchase question.

Payments are handled via PayPal or Stripe. Is it going to change in the future? Can a credit card payment be integrated?

thanks

Anna

Hi, Payments via Stripe are made only using credit cards (is basically a cc processor ). You can signup for a demo account on wprentals.org and try to upgrade your membership package. You should see the Stripe button and after you press it the credit car form will appear.

Also in some cases you can do Paypal Payments using credit cards.

Thanks

Hi Annapx,

One other thing….. How do I add the images to the theme slider or are they pulled from the listings main image, how do I add the pproperty search modal and the text in the theme slider?

I can do this in rev slider but don’t like the resources it consumes and the complicated nature of the plugin

Best wishes

D

Hi, The images in theme slider are the ones you set as featured image for that property ( the full version) Thanks

Hi Annapx,

Great theme, well thought out and feature rich.

I’m getting to know my way around the theme but can’t seem to find where to change the dominant theme colour from the Mauve/Purple to something a little more suitable for my project.

Can you tell me where I might be able t find the option or what I need to do to change it in the code.

Best wishes

D

Hi, You have a design options in the theme options. there you put the custom colors on and you have there main color along with other 20+ other colors. Thanks

hi, i have a problem with the scroll page, can you help me thanks

Hi, Please open a ticket at support.wpestate,org and describe your problem in there. Please post also the url of the website where you have this issue. After you did that please give me the ticket id so i can track it’s progress. Thank you

Hi, can i add Tours and Hotels with custom fields

Hi, can i add Tours and Hotels with custom fields

Hi, I think you can do that – You can special categories for tours and hotels and use custom fields for specific details. However please note that for hotels you would need to add each room separately if you want to use them into the booking system

Also please make sure the theme suits your needs since it;s mainly a theme for short term rentals (aibnb like) and not one build specially for travel agencies.

Thanks

Hi. I can’t access the backend demo account. test drive before buy… than ks

Hi, Yes sure, If you want to see the used dashboard – just signup for an account on wprentals.org. If you want to see the wp admin with theme options , please open a ticket at support.wpestate.org and i would give access to one of our demo installs. Thanks

Do you work a lot with Stripe? They do not respond to any mail, there is no phone number. Looking at the opinion: They have very bad press, funds tranfer are very problematic or uncertain and they take the commission they want. Their way of doing similar to the scam. Personally I hesitate very much to use their platform, what can you advise us.

Hi, Stripe is very popular between our clients and was integrated in our theme because many requested it. That being said we didn’t use Stripe as a merchant(we don;t need it in our bussines), we just integrated their APi in our products(and we were very happy about the way it works)

Thanks

Hi, beautiful and powerful Theme!

A couple of pre-purchase questions:
1- Is it possible to have 2 separate Logins/Register?
- One login/register (without social login) for Owners with My Profile, My Properties, Add New Property, Booking, My Reservations, My Subscription and Inbox tabs enabled?
- One login/register (with social login) for common Users with only My Profile, Favorite and Review tabs enabled?
2- Is it possible to have other payment options? Like direct Bank Transfer or other services?
3- I’d love to have a backend access only for testing purpose, to see the Theme in live action, so I could make some test and buy it then. Is that possible?


Thanks in advance,
Ivan

Hi Ivan, A couple of pre-purchase questions: 1- Is it possible to have 2 separate Logins/Register? - One login/register (without social login) for Owners with My Profile, My Properties, Add New Property, Booking, My Reservations, My Subscription and Inbox tabs enabled? - One login/register (with social login) for common Users with only My Profile, Favorite and Review tabs enabled?

There is no separate accounts for the owners and the ones that rent. And there is no point in doing that since somebody that list a property can also want to rent one. So it would not make sense to have 2 accounts. This is how all the big sites like airbnb do it.

2- Is it possible to have other payment options? Like direct Bank Transfer or other services?

Direct Bank transfer is something that will appear in a future version. Other payment options will ahve

3- I’d love to have a backend access only for testing purpose, to see the Theme in live action, so I could make some test and buy it then. Is that possible?

Yes, sure. For wordpress admin to see the theme options : Just open a ticket on support.wpestate.org and will give you access to a demo install. To see the user dashboard you just need to signup on wprentals.org and you would be enter to see that ..

Thanks

Hi Anna,
Thanks for the answer

Yes, that could be possible, but I need to have the Login separately, because I’m planning to give each user the option to choose from: “Are you an Owner”? or “Are you a User”?

That’s very important for the Site I’m planning to work on.
Do you offer customization service?

Thanks,
Ivan

Hi,

I understand your request and reasons but at this moment this feature is not available. However it can be developed and should not be very complicated thing to do.

Also- we do offer customization services but at this moment we are fully booked until end of this year. However we will be happy to assist you or your programmed in doing such customization.

Thanks

I want to use this theme form another purpose.

Can I remove unnecessary field such as features and address?

Thanks,

Hi, Yes you can remove those – but you would need to do this by code changing since there is no theme feature that will let you do that. Thanks

Hi, I got a error message like below

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/themes/wprentals/libs/help_functions.php on line 2225

Thanks James

Hi, I’m unable to replicate this on the core product. Can you open a ticket and post there the ftp account. Devel team will look over this issue as soon as we have those details. Thanks

Hello nice theme, but we are having a very tough time installing the full demo content to make it look exactly like the site you displayed. We opened a support ticket, with login credentials, can you please escalate this and get the full working demo working for us EXACTLY as is shown on your site? Much thanks!

Hi, Please tell me the ticket id so i can track it’s progress. Thanks

Hi the ticket ID is 10298, I updated it again, please follow up, thank you!

Hi, All the tickets are answered in less than 24 h (during Monday to Friday). Please note that we are on Central European time and because of that it may be difference between our business hours. I see the ticket is already answered.

Thank you

Hi I have a question, when I put the header transparent on the home page, this then becomes transparent to all pages by creating defects in title page, and more. So how to get the header transparent only to the home page, and white instead of all the pages. Thank you.

Ok perfect I did. eheheh

Excuse me another question. I do not want the header flow but remains firm at the top and go down when no longer be seen. How to do?

Hi, I,m not very sure that i understand the question : If you want to remove the sticky header functionality then you need to go into control.js and remove the code from lines 43 to 86.

If this is not the answer you look for please open a ticket at support.wpestate.org so i can have the devel team take a look.Also please give us more details. Thanks

Hi, is it possible to integrate a channel manager? Properties are listed on external sites such as airbnb, homeaway, etc. Is there a way to automatically sync in both directions when a user books a property? Thanks

Hi, Not yet but in the next version we will have the option to export and import booking info in icalendar format so you can send the data (or import) to sites like airbnb.

This option will definitely be in the next theme update however i cannot give you a date yet.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Could you tell me if it is possible to integrate in an easy way an external channel manager? If yes do you have any suggestions? Thank you again

Hi, I’m sorry but I don’t know any 3rd party plugin channel manager .So i don’t know what advice to give you. If by any chance you find such plugin with useful features please share with us.

Thanks
