Hi Anna,

Good day to you.

Would there be any chance where we can link a particular word to a page of the site?

Example, from this screenshot http://prntscr.com/cygtv3 you will notice the highlighted “Strict” word, what we wanna do is to make it clickable directly to Cancellation Policies page.

Airbnb has this feature that when you hover and click the word “Strict” in the property, it will be redirected to a page where guests can read full details of that particular policy.

I had searched and tried to install some plugins available but it doesnt seem to work well on the Site.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thank you so much!

Hello Edward

The custom fields we have do not support href (links) or html. They are just simple text fields.

Plugins cannot work. This could be done with custom development, by creating a custom field and allowing html in that field. But that can open possibilities for users to add other links or code that may harm. I don’t know if there is a different way to make this happen – and if it could be something to add in core. I must check with my colleagues for this answer. Please open a ticket and give me the id to follow up on this.

Thank you Anna

Hello Anna, I’m almost ready to purchase. I’m new to wordpress and it seems like every template for a listing service comes with a bunch of extra plugins that I have to install and pay for monthly. Is this theme ready to go as is. I know that I’ll have to get a stripe account to take credit cards, which is fine. I just don’t want to purchase this template if I have to add on a bunch of other things to make it work and increase my cost. Thank you

Hi Anna, I have read some of the comments and found part of my answer. It seems I’ll need to add plugins but they are free. I just want to make sure that I don’t need a plugin like woo commerce that adds hundreds to the monthly fee of running this site. Are there any required plugins that will cost additionally to get a site up and running with your template? Which looks awesome by the way. Thanks you Chris

Hello stxlocal

Thank you for the interest in the theme.

The theme doesn’t need any extra plugin. What you see in demos is created with theme options + the included plugins: rev slider, ultimate addons, visual composer.

We do not work with woo commerce.

If you have other questions before you make a decision please let me know.

Thank you.

Anna

Can I use WP Rentals in separate server, web and mail?

Hello Yoshius

Thank you for the comment. Please give me more details. I don’t understand the question, sorry.

Thank you Anna

In one server install and using WordPress and WP Rentals web server, in another server used as mail server set same domain as WP’s server’s domain.

Hi Yoshius

As far as I know, there are plugins that can override the server email function. I don’t know if that will allow to override with another server. I know it works if you wish to override with a third party (like google api), but it may be possible with another server as well. I never tested to be 100%.

The plugin I know can do this override is Postman SMTP https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/ Perhaps you can confirm with the developer if what you wish is possible.

Thank you Anna

Hi Anna, how to ‘center’ the menu (primary, heard) on the right, near login? Thanks.

Hello Retreater

I am not sure what you mean. I checked and there is no un-answered ticket for so many days. Please give me the ticket ID and I will check tomorrow.

Thank you Anna

ID: 22244. Thanks.

Hello Retreater

Please check my reply. I see that you did have an answer, just that you haven’t managed to implement the css and you needed further assistance for that. I helped making the changes. Please see the ticket.

Thank you Anna

Hi Anna, Could you please help me with these questions:

1. I would like to set the advanced search shortcode only for the front page and hide it from other pages, How can I do that? for example: here it appears in the properties list page and I want to remove it. http://prnt.sc/cxqh64

2. I would like to add a booking feature based on monthly price, so please provide me with some guidlines to set that.

3. I made my theme RTL and everything works perfect, but I think that I have a small problem with the responsive feature. when I reduce the screen resolution to less than 1220 px I get this problem with the advanced search shortcode and it deviates from the center: http://prnt.sc/cxqm8b and when I reduce the screen to less than 1180 px I get a problem with the left and right menu triggers, check these screenshots: http://prnt.sc/cxqp2p, http://prnt.sc/cxqq3z I think that I made all the nexessary changes on style.css bootstrap.css and my_media.css to set them RTL but I don know what I missed to have this issues, so please help me to locate the code for that.

Please provide me with somes guidlines.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks, Rabeh

Hello WinnerDesigner ,

Thank you for the comment. Please see my reply below.

1. I would like to set the advanced search shortcode only for the front page and hide it from other pages, How can I do that? for example: here it appears in the properties list page and I want to remove it. http://prnt.sc/cxqh64

—> How the theme works now, you can do the following:

First: Use the option to hide advanced search globally (on all pages http://help.wprentals.org/assets/images/advancedsearchedit.jpg)

Second: On homepage use the search shortcode and can show below header – like this http://prntscr.com/cyalta The shortcode includes price slider. it cannot work with ajax search. Help to set it http://help.wprentals.org/2015/10/28/advanced-search-shortcode/

2. I would like to add a booking feature based on monthly price, so please provide me with some guidlines to set that.

—> I am afraid this request is very complex. If you need to change the code to include monthly fee – that is not something I can guide you to do yourself. Perhaps you need a simpler way. So please tell me what you’d like to do, to know if I can help in any way.

3. I made my theme RTL and everything works perfect, but I think that I have a small problem with the responsive feature. when I reduce the screen resolution to less than 1220 px I get this problem with the advanced search shortcode and it deviates from the center: http://prnt.sc/cxqm8b and when I reduce the screen to less than 1180 px I get a problem with the left and right menu triggers, check these screenshots: http://prnt.sc/cxqp2p, http://prnt.sc/cxqq3z I think that I made all the nexessary changes on style.css bootstrap.css and my_media.css to set them RTL but I don know what I missed to have this issues, so please help me to locate the code for that.

—> That seems to be my_media.css —> I cannot assist much from here.

Please open a ticket http://support.wpestate.org/ include your site url, wp-admin access to make the necessary changes in your rtl.css to see if I can assist. You can give me the ticket id here.

Thank you anna

Hi anna, Thanks for your reply

check this ticket ID please: 22282

Hello WinnerDesigner

I have updated the ticket yesterday and today as well. Please check.

Thank you Anna

Hi Anna,

Thanks for all of your help so far. I enabled a paid membership subscription on my site, but when I create a test account, I do not see any option to upgrade the membership from the free one.

Also, do you know if support has looked into the sign-up email issue where if someone makes a mistake while registering, it will not let them register with their email address because it says that it has already been taken?

Thanks! Kelly

Hello Kelly

Thank you for the comment.

Please make sure you have this page created – http://help.wprentals.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/dashboard.png

And it will show like this – http://prntscr.com/cyaqkv

The support system is automatic, but if you have issues logging in please email me at annap0909@gmail.com and I will reset your support account for the email you already have used. Just let me know what email that is.

Thank you Anna

Pre-sale question. Is it possible to disable the ‘reservation box’ on the home page? I’d like to show the slider or another piece of content without the reservation box.

Hello apetrik

Thank you for the comment. I assume you mean the search over header – http://prntscr.com/cyas2q

For this we have the following option:

- disable the search over header for theme slider, rev slider or image as header. This will apply globally (in all the pages where you have any of these as header).

If you wish to test the admin with this option disabled, please email me at annapx0909@gmail.com and please include the details of this conversation to know what settings I must change.

Thank you, Anna

how much will it cost replacement of Google Maps on Yandex maps. http://support.wpestate.org/login/ – can not login forgot password

Hello yuriy4508

Thank you for the comment. If you need help to reset the support account – please email me at annapx0909@gmail.com

Regarding your request, I am afraid I cannot assist much. We never worked with Yandex, so we don’t know if they can replace google maps completely. And if they can, I am not able to advise on a quote since we would need to do proper research for such an estimation.

Unfortunately we’re not available for custom development. We’re fully booked expanding our theme core features.

If you cannot find someone on Envato Studio with experience in Yandex to offer a quote, perhaps you can look into other platforms where developer are available for hire. I only know Envato Studio, but I am sure there are other sites as well.

Thank you Anna

Hi Anna,

finally I see a full theme suitable for property managers.

I have just bought it, but I have to ask you a few things:

1. Base price + people extra cost: As you see on Airbnb, Housetrip or Booking.com, I saw that it’s not possible to formulate the base price for until two/three/four persons (even if apartment is for many more persons) and set up an extra cost for every additional person until the max persons capacity of the apartment.

2. City tax : it’s not possible to be able to set the city tax cost per night per person.

I saw that other people have asked the same things.

I wonder if some of these features have been taken into consideration for the next update and if in any case, for the immediate, if I can ask a developer to work on finding a solution to these questions.

Best regards

Suraj

Hello Suraj

Thank you for the comment and for buying the theme.

Regarding 1 – We do have this option: put a price per night and allow extra guests – http://prntscr.com/cybdn6 but we don’t limit the max number of extra guests. Is this what you needed?

Regarding 2 – That is on the wishlist, but I cannot advise more on this point as we haven’t reached this item on the list to be able to tell more. I did write down your comment – as we also count how many times a feature is requested in our decision for adding new features.

About custom work, I am afraid we’re not available for that as we’re fully booked. If you need modifications done urgently, perhaps you can find a developer on Envato Studio.

Thank you, Anna

Hi Anna,

Good day!

Would you know how to use the Property Status?

Is there a way where we can show if a property is rented or vacant?

We noticed there is an option in the admin where we can check the property submitted and admin will get a chance to choose wether a property is vacant or available. I am aware that if the property is not available on particular date, it wont show in the searched date, but why there is an option where it shows “Normal” in the Property Status selection? see this screenshot please: http://prntscr.com/cxg7lj

We are actually planning to offer long term properties too on the site and so it will be an advantage to show wether a property is rented or not yet occupied.

I hope to hear your thoughts on this soon.

Thank you very much!

Hello Edward

“Normal” – means there’s no label showing on the property card. If you use one other status – it would show like this http://prntscr.com/cybc3m

Status is added manually. And you can add any status you wish – http://help.wprentals.org/2016/02/05/how-to-make-a-status-css-class/

I don’t know if this helps with your project, but that is how the status works.

Thank you Anna

I got this now, thank you anna for all the effort.hehe best regards,

Hello Anna,

I am interested in buying your theme and I have a few questions before:

1. Whether it is possible to adjust the opportunity to host chooses whether he wants to pay a monthly membership or % fee?

2. Is it possible to have host service fee, and guest service fees like Airbnb 6%-12%?

Thanks

Hello exweb

Thank you for the comment.

We don’t have option 1. Our theme supports for submission membership (if enabled). That’s only for submitting properties. And the theme support % admin fee for each confirmed booking (if admin sets that) which is only for bookings. There is no membership for booking fee.

2. We don’t have that I am afraid.

Thank you Anna

Thank You Anna. Can you tell me, is it possible to get access to admin demo page before purchase?

Hello exweb

Yes, please email me at annapx0909@gmail.com and please mention what theme you wish to test as admin.

Thank you Anna

hi I need to know if every owner can attach a different payment method such as the airbnb site Thank you

Hello wbwebbrand

Thank you for the comment. This is not possible.

Thank you Anna

don’t know why, the calendar availabilty in the front end just stuck cannot move to another month when it clicked. Someone can advise what is the problem? thx

Hello awan89

To help we need to see your site. This is not a common issue.

Try to disable all your extra plugins. Perhaps there is a plugin conflict. If the issue still persists please open a ticket in client support with your site access details.

Client support is here http://support.wpestate.org/

Thank You Anna

Hi Anna,

Good day!

Is there a chance where we can collect city fee on behalf of the owners? So we will pay directly to the tax authority instead of owners paying for it?

Like Airbnb, they directly collect this particular tax and pay to local taxing authority so owners wont need to pay by themselves, this will give additional convenience to each owners.

Please let us know if you can help us on this.

Looking forward to your kind reply soon.

Thank you very much!

- Edward

Hello Edward

I don’t believe we will not be able to assist with this – as this implies a very elaborate system to keep track of accounting details, payments, reports and many more other info that would take a huge amount of time and resources to implement from 0 as development. I will add to wishlist, but I don’t think we will be able to create such a system.

Thank you Anna

HI Anna,

Good day to you.

Would you know how I can lessen the space between these blocks? please see the red box on this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/cws6r1

Can you advise me which exact code I need to find/edit to change the space?

Please let me know if you know how to.

Looking forward to your positive help soon.

Best regards,

Hello Edward

In the screenshot http://prnt.sc/cz45ix you see the source of a css class – and it is grid-framework.less – that’s bootstrap default grid css.

I recommend to add the overwrite in child theme / style.css and then test to make sure it’s not breaking something else. From there you can remove easier.

Thank you Anna

I’m so sorry Anna, but I’m not getting this :’( I can’t seem to understand how to include the code on the site, including the overwrite thing in child theme. :’( I dont think I can do this alone :( Sorry I’m not really good at this coding thing, but I’m pretty sure this arrangement for each listing page on iPad will look really great.

Hello Edward

I have posted my reply based on the inspect element tool from chrome. Normally overriding css can be done in style.css (recommended child theme) or theme options – design – custom css

I haven’t tried that css live to be able to advise more. If you try it and you need my assistance please open a ticket in client support, give me the ticket id and I will do my best to assist.

Thank you Anna

Hi Anna,

I If this is not the appropriate place to contact you for pre-sales questions, please let me know how to proceed otherwise. I am interested in buying this template and I have a few questions before proceeding please:

- Can I embed or upload a “Matterport Virtual Tour/3D Showcase” in the “Pictures Section” of a Listing? Eg. Please see the way it is on this website, that would be ideal https://www.vacasa.com/unit.php?UnitID=6903

- Can I embed an “I-frame” (to launch a “Matterport Virtual Tour/3D Showcase”) into a Listing in the “Description section” or in any other page including the Homepage?

- Can I upload a Vimeo/Youtube Video in the “Pictures Section” of each Listing or in the “Description Section”?

- Can a user proceed with a booking without having to be registered?

- It says that Admin can accept PayPal/Stripe and also Wire Transfers via the website. Which would be the “Wire Transfers” Service Provider to be attached to the website? Is it YapStone by chance?

- I read somewhere that “weekly rates” cannot be inserted (only daily rates with discount for longer periods), is this still the case? Any idea when “weekly rates” will be implemented?

- Can I setup a Listing to request a % deposit to be paid at time of booking and another % to be paid a certain number of days prior to Arrival?

- Can Additional Services or extra Items be offered in addition to the Property Rental quote? Eg. an Intermediate page before checkout where a user has a sort of “check list” of extra services to add on the Rental price. See for example www.staycity.com

Thanks for your time

Mauro

Hello Mauro

Thank you for the interest in the theme. You can post your pre-sale here without problem. Please see my reply below:

- Can I embed or upload a “Matterport Virtual Tour/3D Showcase” in the “Pictures Section” of a Listing? Eg. Please see the way it is on this website, that would be ideal https://www.vacasa.com/unit.php?UnitID=6903

—> I am afraid we don’t support that.

- Can I embed an “I-frame” (to launch a “Matterport Virtual Tour/3D Showcase”) into a Listing in the “Description section” or in any other page including the Homepage?

—> I am afraid no, because submissions – description is only plain text. It doesn’t support html. Submissions should be handled in front end.

- Can I upload a Vimeo/Youtube Video in the “Pictures Section” of each Listing or in the “Description Section”?

-> You can use the youtube/vimeo id option – http://prntscr.com/cx20ys

- Can a user proceed with a booking without having to be registered?

—> No, this is not possible.

- It says that Admin can accept PayPal/Stripe and also Wire Transfers via the website. Which would be the “Wire Transfers” Service Provider to be attached to the website? Is it YapStone by chance?

—> Wire transfer means offline payment (you can manually mark an invoice as paid when money was received in your bank account). Help – http://help.wprentals.org/2016/08/02/wire-transfer-payment-method/

- I read somewhere that “weekly rates” cannot be inserted (only daily rates with discount for longer periods), is this still the case? Any idea when “weekly rates” will be implemented?

—> I don’t have any updates on this, sorry. Please choose based on existing features only, if they work for your project.

- Can I setup a Listing to request a % deposit to be paid at time of booking and another % to be paid a certain number of days prior to Arrival?

—> No, this is not possible.

- Can Additional Services or extra Items be offered in addition to the Property Rental quote? Eg. an Intermediate page before checkout where a user has a sort of “check list” of extra services to add on the Rental price. See for example www.staycity.com

—> I am afraid this is not possible either.

Thank you Anna

Hi Anna,

thanks for your reply.

I have a few more questions.

- Can paid plugins be implemented? For eg. to allow the Matterport embading into each Listing? - Would it be possible to allow us to work on front-end submission rather than only implementing content into the template? - How can we deal directly with yous to get a quote for customizations?

Thanks

Mauro

Hello Mauro

Thank you for the follow up. I am afraid I am not able to assist with a quote as we didn’t work with this before and we’re not available for custom work either. Plugins couldn’t be implemented seamlessly for sure.

Thank you Anna

Hi , your theme is great you have really done a great job . I want though 3 clarifications before I buy it:

- I want to use wp rentals for boat booking. I am a member of a company which rents boats, yachts and charters and we would like to build an online booking platform where our customers will book their boat online. That’s means that we want to have max 3 users who will upload properties and also we don’t need the maps because all the properties we have are based on a certain port. Is that feasible to be done with your theme?

- We want to have 3 languages. Is it doable and if yes is there any guide of how we can do it?

- Lastly we want to get our payments to our paypal or to a bank account is that feasible?

Thank you in advance. And again you have by far the best theme I have ever seen and I cant wait to buy it! :)

Hello Ymavrak

Thank you very much for the interest in our theme.

You can limit submission to 3 users only – you just type the names of the subscribers you allow to submit in admin – theme options and then only those 3 subscribers can submit.

The map in header can be replaced globally with theme property slider, rev slider or image globally (so you don’t use the map). The map will show in property page (but I assume that is ok) and you will have to select map for half map page style.

For 3 languages – you will need separately a multilanguage plugin The theme is WPML compatible. WPML is a multilanguage plugin which is paid. Must be installed and used separately from the theme. It requires admin translates everything manually from wp-admin. If you wish to look over this plugin before you make a decision please email me at annapx0909@gmail.com and I can give access to the test area where we have this plugin for test.

The theme supports admin fee payment for a booking to be confirmed. That fee can be 100% (excluding city or cleaning fee). If you will be the only one submitting and you don’t need these 2 fees to be paid in full in advance, it can work. The theme has paypal or wire transfer (offline payment – which means you activate an invoice as paid only after you get the payment in bank).

Thank you Anna

Good day,

I would like to ask if there is a possibility in the theme to make the Profile Fields Mandatory/Required in order to make a booking.

If not, how can i make this?

As you understand this is very important in order to get the Clients basic information when he makes a booking.

Thank you.

Hello Andrikos

Thank you for the comment. We don’t have profile info in register form. But what you would have to do is basically change the register form to force him to include certain info before the account is created. The user cannot be forced to fill in My Profile in order to send a booking request.

This change is not something we can guide you to do (exactly the steps). It requires technical knowledge to implement. What we can do is guide you to existing code logic for register http://help.wprentals.org/2016/03/07/register-and-login/ and from here the logic can be expanding by adding new fields, make them mandatory, sync my profile – owner profile with info added.

Thank you Anna

Hello Anna,

We have recently purchased your theme and it works great for our project. Unfortunately, we have some minor requests that highly affect our conversion rate on bookings and account creation.

1) When an un-logged person tries to book a room, he gets a red notification asking him to log in. We would like to have this automatically open the login/registration module.

2) Also when a user registers it only tells them the account is created. Can this automatically redirect to the login module.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hello Martin

Thank you for the comment.

Regarding 1: Technically having 2 different actions for one button created issues, but we will try again for next version to see if we can implement this suggestion.

Regarding 2: I checked with my colleagues and will add for next version for review. They said it would be possible, but to be sure we have to see if the idea we have works. So will add for next version to be reviewed.

Thank you Anna

Thank you Anna,

We will be looking forward to the update.

Hi Anna,

good day to your team.

1. I would like to ask, if it is possible to show the login option once the account was created?

To understand how this one is currently works, if someone has created an account by creating a username, email plus their passwords, once the “Create an account” button was clicked, there will be a note on top of the “Register” section that says “The account was created. You can log in now”

Is there any chance that this “Register” form would change to “Login” form automatically once the account has been created? So the user wont need to look for the login button once they had created an account?

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

2. Also would you know where I can edit the text “The account was created.You can log in now”? I’ll just add a space between the “created.You”

Thank you very much.

Hello Edward

About item 1 – I checked with my colleagues and will add for next version for review. They said it would be possible, but to be sure we have to see if the idea we have works. So will add for next version to be reviewed.

About item 2 – please see this help http://help.wprentals.org/2015/12/21/how-to-modify-theme-text-in-english-with-poedit/ Basically by creating an en_US.po you can overwrite any default text. This language .po can be added in child theme as well – http://help.wprentals.org/2015/12/21/how-to-add-translated-po-files-in-child-theme/

Thank you Anna

HI Anna,

Thank you so much!

We hope to have the number 1 soon on your next theme update, i’m sure it will add convenience to each user.

about the item 2, thank you i’ll check on this.

Best regards to your team.
