Hi, I bought the theme. But i cant find the way to bind a calender to a tour or an activity. Please help.(First time for woocommerce or calendar use)

Hi there. You can add a calendar to a tour page using the calendars shortcode. I’ll pst a link below. You can also add a calendar to WooCommerce using the free add on for payments. I”ll post a link to that setup as well.

Bit of a problem with the mobile version. If you tap the menu, and the menu is long, you want to scroll which shows the fixed menu. But with the fixed menu, you can’t scroll.

http://americajosh.com : iPhone 6S+ (latest iOS)

I see the issue. You also have a plugin that pops an offer up from the bottom and it covers half the screen, making it more difficult to see the drop down menu. However, even without that popup, I can see that if you had a long drop down it might be difficult to view. If you close that menu and use the sticky menu drop down then it works well. I’ll review this issue with our developers to see how we can make this more accommodating with longer menu items. I’ll get back to you asap. Thank you for letting us know.

Try this code in your Custom css:

@media (max-width:767px) {
 .banner.headhesive--clone {display:none}
}

We will continue looking into the fix. Thank you.

Hi!

We are a City Tour Company that offers Free Walking Tours. ¿Is it possible for visitors to book the tour for free, without filling any credit card information?

Hello! Thanks for your interest. Yes, very easy to do and you have the option to add payments in the future if you wish. This theme is perfect or Walking Tours. :)

I’ve purchased your theme and I need to translate it. Is it WPML compatible? Also, about the Booked plugin, the version installed is 2.0.5 but latest version 2.0.8 addresses some major translation bugs. I tried to update it but is says there are no newer versions. Can you check this?

Hi, yes it’s compatible with WPML. That is one option, another option is to use Loco Translate and Polylang:

Regarding Booked, please open a ticket and we can certainly have a look: http://support.themovation.com

Hi,

We are a travel agency based in southern Turkeuy and we are renting holiday villas. We are now looking for a new theme for our redesign Project. We liked your theme but we need following questions just to be sure if this theme can provide all the functions we need. Could you please answer following questions to find out?

- Customer should be able to purchase “extra services” with their reservation or aftwerwards like airport transfer, car rental, daily excursions, catering and baby crib etc.

- We need website to work on TR, EN and RU so it should be wpml compatible.

- We definetely need wocommerce as the customer will make purchases. And we need credit card and bank transfer options as payment methods. I believe this is an existing woocommerce function.

- Customers should be able to pay in their currency of choice of Turkish Lira, Euro, Dollar or Pounds. Is this an existing function of woocommerce or do we need an extra plugin?

- We need terms & conditions pages for customers. I believe this is something can be done and set in woocommerce.

- We need deposit payment function too. Customers will pay determined percentages of full price fort he reservations made in 10 weeks and before, 10 to 8 weeks, 8 – 6 weeks adnd etc.

- We need 3 different login roles:

1. Admin login: This role is for us. With this we should be able to manage content, reservations, users and e-commerce. This is substantial function with all the wordpress themes. So, there’s nothing to worry about this role.

2. Service provider login: This role is for the villa owners. We don’t own all the villas. We also rent out others’ villas. So, with this role, villa owners should be able to view check in and check out detail, extra services purchased, payment details and transfer details. This role only need to view these details. They are not to edit anything. All we need is to Show indicated details to this role on their account page.

3. Customer login: This role is for the customers who rent villas for their holidays. They should be able to check availability of the villas, make reservations, make payments and change/edit their reservations on their account page. I believe this is also substantial wih many themes. Thanks in advance for your guidance. I hope your theme cater to our needs.

Best, Aybars

Thank you for your response. That’s great, because you need the #3 Customer Login, ability to “change/edit their reservations on their account page.” I’m thinking the WP Booking System might be a bit out of scope but the theme works great with most WordPress plugins, so if you find a booking engine you like, you can use it with Bellevue :) If you run into any issues, please let us know. We have great support.

I’ve heard great things about WooCommerce Booking + Accommodations and it works great with our theme. :) I think it covers all your requirements.

kind regards, Ryan

Thank you so much for the detailed information. So, we’d need some custom code for our needs. Do you provide extra paid customization services?

We can provide custom work, but can you email us first so that we can better understand the scope of the project?

We also highly recommend these two services:

WP Kraken http://bit.ly/krakenlink

and

Codeable http://bit.ly/trycodeable

best regards, Ryan

Greetings!

does the theme come with any other plug ins that need to be payed for? Or it comes with everything

Hi,

The theme includes everything you need to recreate all of the functionality shown in the demo – you can accept bookings, take payments, setup an online shop, and more.

There are Pro versions available for 2 of the plugins (Elementor and Formidable) but they are optional.

hi im just reading the comments and id like to check a question before i buy. [quote] WinePassport 6 days ago And so it is possible to directly book a day tour and pay immediately without us having to validate the appointment ? Thank you in advance.[/quote]

i want to keep hourly appointments and have customers pay straight away, do i have to validate them before payment is taken?

also if i have separate calendars lets say i have 3 – with hourly appointments for each. after multiple appointments are made for one day, from each calender – do they show on the same appointments calendar in the admin section?. im referring to the booked plugin admin page ‘Appointments’

Hello, thanks for your interest.

Yes, you can book per day or per hour and have the customer pay immediately. You won’t have to validate them unless there is something specific you want to check. If you have 1 time slot per hour, it will only allow 1 booking for that hour. :)

They should show on the same list for the user / profile page (I believe) but in the admin, I think you may need to toggle between each calendar.

Does that help?

Hi. We’re interested in acquiring the theme but the demos are not working. Can you please check? Thank you

Hi, thanks for the message. We are aware and currently looking into the issue and will have the demos back online asap. In the meantime, here are the links which should be working well:

http://demo.themovation.com/embark/walking-tours/ http://demo.themovation.com/embark/river-rafting/ http://demo.themovation.com/embark/wine-beer-tours/

The issue has now been resolved, so the demos should be coming up normally now! Sorry for the inconvenience. Let us know if you have any questions about the theme :)

A tour can be led by many tour guides. Can I manage customers and guides if I buy it?

I think this answers your questions? If you have any issues you can always contact our support team. They are awesome!

How I can do? please give me a sample and it’s OK i will be pay for you. Thanks

Hello, thank you. Yes, can you please contact us on our support side? https://themovation.ticksy.com/ – We are offline for tonight but back up tomorrow morning (Pacific Standard Time). best regards, Ryan

Hello, Juste pre-sales question : is it possible to manage stocks by day ? We are an excursion company, so we have day tour with day stock (for exemple 8 places available on monday, and 16 on wednesday), is it possible to manage that ?

Moreover can customers pay by credit card or amex for a tour ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello! Thanks for your interest. Yes, you can manage this via timeslots / seats which is built in to the booking system so you never overbook :). There is a caveat though, if you are using the payment module with WooCommerce and you want people to be able to pay for multiple guests at once, the seats will only be reduced by 1 per order, but you should be able to use the WooCommerce product inventory to circumvent anyone overbooking. I think we’ve got you covered either way. If you run into any issues, our support team is the best. :)

Hello thank you for your answer !

And so it is possible to directly book a day tour and pay immediatly without us having to validate the appointment ?

Thank you in advance.

Yes that’s correct :) You can use all day events with the booking system.

Hi, I am very pleased with the theme.

Two things are not going well: The month name and the text on the button of the calendar is very, very small. I can not make it bigger with custom css apparently. I have tried to add code: .booked-calendar-wrap.small .booked-appt-list .timeslot .timeslot-people button .button-timeslot { letter-spacing: 0.01rem; display: block; font-weight: 600; font-size: 1.2rem; }

The orignal size was 0.8rem but this does not seem to work. I don’t find a way to change it and the documentation of the booked plugin does not help nor provides contact details.

The biggest problem is that the processing of the add to chart does not stop even when the items were added to the cart. When I book a tour, the items are added to the cart but the page keeps on being processed (the turning thing keeps on turning): you can try it http://socialme-demo.be/tour/family-tapas-tour-madrid/

A third question: it seems that the tour is booked when they they fill their cart. But that does not mean they will pay. Is there an automatic solution to book only when the payment is done based on a status of the payment or do we keep the booking pending and only approve when we check the payment? This wil mean some manual work for us…

The third question is solved: it is an option in the woocommerce settings.

Hi,

1. A recent update to the Booked plugin changed the way the text sizing is calculated, so we will be issuing a theme update very soon. In the meantime, you should only need to add one line into your child theme or into the Additional CSS box:

html {font-size:100%}

Since you received Booked included with Embark, we are your contact point for questions :)

2. I just did a test and the error in the Console shows it has to do with the setup of Stripe: https://cl.ly/2L3G0E2d1g1c

If you have further questions, we’re happy to help on our support site which is a better system for support: http://themovation.ticksy.com

Does it work with beaver builder?

We have not specifically tested Beaver Builder with the Embark theme. The theme was designed to be used with the Elementor builder which includes some custom widgets that we created to include all of the features shown in the live demo. We think you’ll really like Elementor!

More info here: http://demo.themovation.com/embark/live-page-builder/

Does it work with Woo commerce elements?

Our theme supports WooCommerce and the standard functionality works very well.

There is also Elementor Pro which includes additional WooCommerce features, but that is a separate purchase. Elementor Pro does not have an extended license so no WordPress themes are able to bundle it with purchase.

Would it be possible to test the getbooked.io admin demo? Your current demo is broken: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-content/plugins/ninja-demo/classes/sandbox.php:1140 Stack trace: #0 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-content/plugins/ninja-demo/classes/sandbox.php(630): Ninja_Demo_Sandbox->run_replace(‘wp_710_’, Array) #1 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-content/plugins/ninja-demo/classes/shortcodes.php(251): Ninja_Demo_Sandbox->create(‘2’) #2 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): Ninja_Demo_Shortcodes->create_listen(’’) #3 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #4 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #5 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-settings.php(450): do_action(‘init’) #6 /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-config.php(44): require_once(’/srv/users/serv…’) #7 /srv/users/s in /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/get-booked/public/wp-content/plugins/ninja-demo/classes/sandbox.php on line 1140

Thanks :)

Hi, That admin demo is actually not setup by us, it is by the creator of the Booked plugin. We just have an agreement where we can include the premium plugin with our themes. At this time we do not have another live admin demo to link you to, but I am sure he will correct that demo link soon.

If you haven’t seen it yet, we also have this page with more info about the booking system: http://demo.themovation.com/embark/booking/

Hello, pre-sale question. Does this template work for accommodation / apartment rentals? Is it possible to use alternative theme with included plugins? Can the bookable items be free of charge? Thanks in advance.

Our Embark theme includes Booked which is a booking system designed for same-day bookings. It works very well for appointments, tours, really any time slots up to one full day. If however you are looking for accomodation booking, we have a different theme that is probably better suited to your needs:

https://themeforest.net/item/bellevue-hotel-bed-breakfast-booking-theme/12482898

So is the booked plugin also a once off payment? Also I’m new to this whole website thing. Will have to use woocommerce togather with WordPress and your theme? Or if I have booked I won’t need woocommerce?

Hello, that’s right. Just a one time fee for the theme and you get all the plugins free. :)

Hi! a pre-selling question please,

I am looking for a theme to do the following:

A home page where the user can choose the city and number of persons (or child). Every city have its own main page with a list of diferent tours or experiences (in the chosen city) with the prices. The user pick the tour/experience, pick a date and pay it through paypal or credit card

Can the user pick several tours in an “add to cart”?

Can the theme do that?

Thank you!

Hi,

1. You can setup as many separate calendars as you like, so you could create pages for each city and have a different calendar on each one. You could also list the tours for each city and have calendars there.

2. Yes users can choose a date and the tour (a couple of options for that) and then pay via PayPal, credit, etc – many payment options can be setup.

3. Generally it is setup so that the user selects one tour and goes to checkout, but techincally it does get added to the cart so at the point the user can go back and add another to the cart before going to the checkout.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, i have few question. (1) may i know the booking form possible to set min 2 adult per booking? (2) Possible to do only deposit booking?

Hi,

(1) Yes the booking form is customizable so you can add text stating that it’s minimum 2 adults, and then in the quantity select field you can have it start at 2 people

(2) There isn’t a specific option built into the Booked plugin for deposits, but it ties into WooCommerce for payments so you could use a WooCommerce add-on for that. Or you could just setup a product at the price of the deposit in WooCommerce.

pre-sales questions: I want to use this theme for a cycling tour company, that sells tours up to 15 days. In the calendar it is still not possible to choose the available range of 15 days? And I think for me it works best to only request a booking instead of actually going to the payment step, is that possible?

And another question, If I buy this theme I first want to use it in a test folder of my website. Is it easy to move it as the main page (which is now a WP site as well) without any issues?

thanks

Hello and thanks for your interest. The booking system has all day and timeslots however we also include form templates that runs on the Formidable plugin which is bundled for free. That could potentially work as an alternative. Also we have a plugin that comes with our other theme, Bellevue. It’s a booking theme for vacation rentals and that could work out as well. http://demo.themovation.com/bellevue/ Another alternative is to use your own booking plugin and not use the one that is bundled. Lots of options for your project. Let us know how we can help, we have great support.

Hey guys, I have one question. Is it possible to allow customer book tour without registration?

Hello, thanks for your interest. Yes, you can enable guest booking :)

Hello, is there a demo account we can login to to try the back-end before we purchase? thanks

We are working to have that available soon but do not yet at this point have an admin demo.

We do however have this page that outlines the included Page Builder: http://demo.themovation.com/embark/live-page-builder/

We also have this page that outlines the included Booking System: http://demo.themovation.com/embark/booking/

I’m happy to answer any questions that you have as well!
