Hi,

I would like to know if I can disable the booking/availability system and use booking request forms instead for every property in the early development of our site.

Our goal is to showcase the properties and generate leads not online sales for now.

Thank you in advance

Hello and thanks for contacting us. The theme comes with two forms builders, one is included with the booking calendar and the other is Formidable.

Formidable is a stand alone form builder that you can use anywhere on the site and as a standalone form tool. The WP Booking system includes availability calendar and also has form builder. They work together.

You can use the booking calendars on their own as well just to show availability but once you use them with the form builder you can allow people to choose their check in / check out dates and submit that info through the form.

Yes you can use the booking system just for sending notifications / and auto responders, that works too. The requests will queue up in the dashboard but you can just ignore them and only use the admin email notifications and customer auto responder to run your business. Both are also optional.

It’s very flexible. :)

Hi,

Great!

Now, in case of using WPML, where is the language selector/switcher placed?

Thank you in advance

We made an article for that here: https://themovation.ticksy.com/article/5882/

Cheers :D

Hi! I have to create a user – it is responsible for booking but will not work. I have received feedback because woocommerce. Check link: http://cl.ly/1m3y063N1j08/Skjermbilde%202016-05-27%20kl.%2020.08.19.png I just want only booking. So what can I do? Thank you!

Hi there, I’m not entirely sure how the WP Booking System works for Users, I think you need to be an admin to manage it. There might be some access if you go inside the calendar as the admin and give that user permissions to access it. You’ll find this under WP Booking / Calendars / ’’Assign users to this calendar”. Once that is saved, then you can play around with that users permissions levels so they can see that calendar. I”m not sure if it’s editor, author or more. Try them out and see.

Happy to help.

it works. Thank you!

That’s great! Thanks for the follow up :)

how to not showing “Comments are closed.”?

Hello! You can hide this via CSS under Appearance / Theme Options / General / Custom CSS: #comments {display: none;}

It’s challenging to post custom css on this comments system but much easier on our ticket system here: https://themovation.ticksy.com/ – Happy to assist. :)

Hello! I need an information. Does this theme includes a preset “under construction” page?

Many thanks, Sara

Hi Sara, no it does not but there are many free plugins that will do that for you. Let us know if you need a few links, we can post them. Cheers! :)

Hi, many thanks! Yes, please can you give some links with some plugins for “under contruction” page that are compatible with this theme!

Thak you again, Sara

Hi Sara! Thanks. I’ve used WP Maintenance Mode in the past without any issues. :)

Hey,

I’m considering buying this theme but I have a question. So on this site http://demo.themovation.com/bellevue/guesthouse/ in the section were you represent the “Rooms & Suites”, is it possible to let the “all” tab disapear, because I wanna use this feature for different prices whether you are booking for 3 days, 6 days or more and let it sort it this way.

Cheers

Hello! yes, you can hide this with CSS. It’s very easy, we will provide the code and you can copy / paste into the theme options. We’ll be adding this as a feature to an upcoming version but for now it’s a simple css snippet. :)

I am considering to buy this theme. 1 question about booking inquiries. We have 7 rooms. I want the guest to select the desired dates and room and submit the request. We will then check availability and respond via email to the guest. I don’t want to maintain 7 availability calendars using this plugin as we already have that data separately. Any problem with that scenario?

Hey there! Thanks. All our support is offline at the moment but I’ll be back from my remote location where I can answer all your questions soon. I’ll check in with you tonight :)

Hi! Sorry for the delay, yes the demos are virtually identical apart from the images and some very minor tweaks. We have explained the reasons for providing one import file in this article with some helpful links:

https://themovation.ticksy.com/article/7489/

We provide links to most of the photos used in the demos as they are licensed as creative commons. The article above explains where to find the links to these.

To customize any of the templates, look in the templates folder and activate our child theme, then copy any of the templates over to the child theme inside the templates folder and you can customize as you like. Each template file represents 1 of the different content blocks from the meta box builder. The meta box builder can do a lot so you should be able to customize a lot of the page without having to edit the html or php.

We’ve provided a lot of help, and you can find links to all our resources under Appearance / Theme Options / Help Tab. This includes videos, 70+ articles, public support tickets, FAQs, and documentation.

If you need anything at all just create a ticket for our support team. We are very good about getting back to you and assisting. A link to our support system is also under the help tab mentioned above.

Best regards, Ryan

Hey there, we are trying to get in touch with you. You had a question for us and we would like to help out. Can you contact us? themovation@gmail.com Thanks!

Hi, I hope you are doing well.

I’m experiencing an issue. When I add more than one mail adress in the “send to” field on the wp booking system plugin and hit save, only the first email adress is saved.

Do you know what might be the problem? Best regards,

Hey there! Thanks for contacting us. I see the issue. Try removing any spaces in between the emails. That seemed to work for me. Once I removed any spaces I was able to add multiple emails. :) Let us know if you have any issues. We are happy to help.

already fixed. Great theme.

Cool! Thank you for the follow up. Just let us know if you need anything else :)

Does this theme support the departure and arrival of a guest on the same day? I’ve seen similar plugins use a diagonal graphic to display that if someone is leaving on one day, someone else can still check in.

Hello. Regarding the fees and taxes, you can set this up in WooCommerce. It has a very good tax rate table depending on where the buyers is from or you can change everyone who buys through you. That’s pretty easy to setup in WooCommerce.

The cleaning fee is pretty straight forward as well. We wrote an article about it here: https://themovation.ticksy.com/article/7343/

1) Adding tax rate – Yes, via woocommerce setup.

2) Adding a cleaning fee or pet fee that is non taxable. Yes, in that article I included there is a plugin that allows you to choose taxed or non taxed. I think it’s free.

3) Yes the coupon system is already built into WooCommerce. You can learn more about it here: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/coupon-management/ – You can do a percentage, not sure about the buy 2 get one free though.

4) Yes, you can download the csv through woocommece. You can find out more here: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/ordercustomer-csv-exporter/ – I think this is free as well. The booking system has it’s own customer list but this is not exportable at this time. You can certainly hire a developer to export this if you need to but WooCommerce should have all the customer information it it as well.

The booking system passes the booking total off to WooCommerce and then the customer fills out their billing info at that time, so WooCommerce will have more accurate billing information in it’s database vs the WP booking System.

If you have any other questions we are happy to review them for you. Cheers! :)

Oh okay, I’m a little confused, but you’re saying the Wp Booking System integrates with WooCommerce to collect payment, but will manage the bookings through WP Booking System. Sounds a little tricky. Do you have demos of the admin area?

Hi! WooCommerce handles the payment and WP Booking handles all the booking information. The reason I mentioned WooCommerce is because you requested a CSV export and WooCommerce has this option. The customer will be providing their email address (and other billing info to Woo) if you have online payments setup. You could export the customer info such as email and other billing details via WooCommerce.

All the booking / pending / approval / auto responders are managed in WP Booking. Only payments are processed via WooCommerce.

Does that help? :)

Hi Themovation!

Really cool theme, I’d like to use it for one of my project but I need your help to figure out if it meets my requirements.

1) The website should provide both the booking of agritourism apartments and the sale of local products.

2) The apartments and the local product should be displayed in two different pages. It would be possibile with your theme?

3) What about the back-end? Apartments and local products would be managed by the same woocommerce panel?

Thanks in advance!

Hello and thank you for contact us.

1) Yes you can do both, the theme includes a shop where you can setup products for sale. :)

2) Yes, the apartments can be added through the rooms custom post type if you wish or you can also add the apartment as a product page. The products can be added to your shop and you can use it’s product page separate from the apartment page.

3) The Apartments can be managed by the Rooms Custom Post type. You can even change the permalink to ‘apartments’ instead of ‘rooms’. You would manage the product in WooCommerce as a product.

This all sounds possible and should work well with our theme.

Let us know if you have any questions, we are happy to assist. :)

Hey Themeovation! Great theme! I saw from a post about 7 months ago that you were looking into how to make a checkbox in the booking form create an additional cost at checkout. Like an add-on. Has any progress been made on this?

I am trying other ways to make this happen using the WooCommerce Product Add-On’s plugin, but I’ve not been able to make that plugin talk to WP Booking System.

Basically, I just need a way to allow the client to buy add-ons (such as boat rentals, canoe, etc) from the booking screen.

Take a look at my booking page here: http://cad.c0f.myftpupload.com/the-villas/mansion/?portorder=menu

And my add-on page here (this is just a product page with Product Add-On’s) http://cad.c0f.myftpupload.com/product/the-mansion/

Best,

Hey! Thanks for the follow up. The plugin developer is actually adding this to the plugin, we just don’t have an eta right now. It’s suppose to be in the next few months. You can always use a plugin to help add extra charges or upsells to the order via WooCommerce.

https://docs.woothemes.com/document/related-products-up-sells-and-cross-sells/ https://docs.woothemes.com/document/cart-up-sells-and-add-ons/

What’s exciting is that we are enhancing the booking plugin with a lot more integration with WooCommerce, it should be ready in the next two months.

Any update on the update for seasonal pricing?

Thanks! I’m checking with our developer in the next few days. It sounds like they are in a testing phase but I”m not sure which features they have completed. I’ll come back to you as soon as I have more info. Thank you for the follow up. We are super excited about these new features too. :)

Hi, I am interested for your template but I have any questions:

- it’s possible add hours to filter of the reservation? - it’s possible let the reservation open to more people? I don’t want that when a first person reserved, no one more can reserve

Thanks for all, Pau.

I pau, thanks for asking.

Not sure what you mean by a hour filter. You can book by single or multiple day. You can add any custom field you like to the booking form.

Yes you can make it so the auto-pending is turned off, allowing unlimited bookings for the calendar.

Happy to answer any questions that you have. Cheers.

Dear webmaster,

I recently bought your theme. Installed the dummy content and the plugin but I am having a technical issue with editing the meta boxes on the pages.

The tick boxes doesn’t want to load. Could you please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you

Hello and thank you for getting in touch. This may be the result of plugin conflict , can you try deactivating all plugins that you are using that did not come recommended by the theme to try a nd narrow it down? We are also happy to pop in and take a look for you. Can you send us an email with access or communicate via our ticket system https://themovation.ticksy.com/ which allows private communications. :) thank you. Happy to assist.

I can not translate the widget in the footer, they always stay in the same language. How to do?

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Are you using a plugin like polylang, wpml or poedit? Can you share with us what your process has been so far to translate? Can you also share with us which widget you are trying to translate?

Happy to assist.

Dear Bellevue Team,

I came across your Wordpress theme and i love it. It looks great and the functionalities look amazing too. I need to setup a Website for a friend of mine. He has a few apartments for renting and he needs a new website – where users can get information on his apartments. These apartments are on different locations and in different cities. Can your theme handle different apartments in different cities too? i really like your Hotel Demo template. Regarding the booking system – my friend wants to work with another widget – But what i like most is the design of your templates. I guess it is WPML ready too…. I am looking forward hearing from you soon. I really want to work with this great template. Thank you, H.

Hello! Thanks for contacting us. :)

Yes you can add as many rooms as you like. They don’t have to be rooms, you can add them as buildings or apartments. You can also organize them in as many groups as you like. Yes the booking system is translatable. Works great with Polylang which is a free plugin and also WPML.

As for the channel manager, the booking system included already does exporting to airbnb etc, but for importing we are working on a solution for that. It’s not ready just yet. I’m not sure how bed24 works but I suppose it could. The best way to sync is to use ical and we’ve got that working for exporting from WP Booking System to all other calendars, just the importing into WP Booking System is the next step.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your fast feedback. I appreciate this very much. I will purchase your theme. Just one last question: regarding the layered Photoshop files that are included: Can i use edit them in case i want to change the design a little bit? I do believe your design is already great. It is the main reason i want to purchase the Bellevue Template. Again, thank you for your fast feedback. All the best and please keep up the great work :) H.

Yes the Photoshop file is organized in a very efficient way, we do this to it’s easy to make a mock up for you or clients. It’s free and bundled with the theme. The photoshop file is just for mockups, so if you wanted to change the way the theme works you would like to use the theme options control panel or you may need to customize the theme with a child theme which we also bundle. Happy to answer any questions you have :)

Hi, I have a couple of pre-sale questions, I really like this theme, but I wonder how’s the compatibility with Revolution slider, and Visual Composer? also, the project that I need it for is a house, but you can choose by room, (other rooms remain closed to the guest), is it possible to name each room? and to book, Do they need to book each room separately or can they book 4 rooms at the same time each for different number of nights? If I decide to go with the extended support, Do I get the benefit of priority response? Thanks any way your theme is really cool

Hello, the theme comes bundled with Master Slider Pro but if you want to use Rev slider then that should work as well. :) You can use it in place of the Master Slider shortcode. It will certainly work in the content editor.

Yes Visual Composer will work but we don’t apply our styling to the short codes that come with VC. So for example if you add testimonials using VC it might not look like the ones on the demo because you are using the shortcodes that come with VC and not ours. We’ve had others use VC but using our meta box builder is going to generate the best results if you want your site to look like our demos.

Yes you can book by room, each room has it’s own calendar. The same person could book multiple rooms but you would need to make separate requests but the checkout can be done in 1 order. What this means it that you make a booking request for each room / calendar, when you add your order to the cart you can continue to add more rooms or you can choose to checkout. Basically the booking engine passes the total off to WooCommerc for each booking. There is nothing stopping a visitor for booking multiple rooms and then checking out with one big order. Each booking request for each room gets logged in the database as a separate booking.

Our support is very good. We don’t give priority but we try to get to everyone as quickly as possible. If there is a real emergency then sometimes you can jump the queue. :) Extended support is a cost savings for you because you are getting better price by purchasing more support up front.

Happy to answer any questions you have :)

I love this theme! I’m just having a little trouble uploading the backgrounds. Every time I try to upload an Image it doesn’t upload.

E.G. Im trying to upload the Background for the slider from the Homepage

Background Image + Add media 0/1 Files.

I’m having the same trouble uploading the Background for each room.

And could you tell me how to add the small slider in the Rooms sections?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info. Simple fix, I just updated your plugin that had a newer version. Also, Bellevue had a new version out with new features and some fixes, you might consider updating to version 1.6. Cheers! :)

LOL thanks. You guy’s are incredible!

Is it possible to combine Villas and Yachts with this theme?? I mean, types of “rooms” can be changed to types of “yachts” but still keep types of rooms and etc. Please quick answer.

Hello, you could use rooms for both but when it comes to the permalink you would need to choose one or choose something that is ambiguous. So mydomain.com/stay/room1 or mydomain.com/stay/yachts and then use groups to separate them. That is possible. :)
