Hi,
Pre-purchase question: it is posible to sincrhonize with homeaway calendar? I check it out that it offer airbnb, booking.com… but how about https://www.homeaway.es/ ?
Thanks a lot!
Also, how it works the iCal sincronization? If someone books an apartment on the website, it’s block automatically on airbnb for example?
Hi,
Hotel Booking plugin used in this theme supports synchronization in iCalendar format which is widely used. There are many OTAs and rental platforms like bookingcom, airbnb, homeaway, etc and usually they support iCal synchronization. However they change their configurations often. So we would recommend to make sure that needed OTA really supports iCal synchronization for your location and sync your accommodations successfully then.
Using settings of Hotel Booking plugin you can make synchronization automatic with some periodicity e.g. 1 hour. It means that once in an hour plugin will download calendars from your OTAs that are linked with plugin. You can also sync calendars manually whenever you wish. As for other platforms that are synced with your site will sync it depending on their preferences.
You can watch our video tutorial about iCal synchronization
Also feel free to test it by signing up for one of the live demos
Hello, this is a pre sell question. can we add or customise booking fileds ? like adding an other field ’ location ’ .Thank you.
Hi,
If you mean adding other search parameters to the search form so there is not an option for that in Hotel Booking plugin settings. But if you mean fields on checkout page so there are available boxes for customer address. If I misunderstand your question I’d kindly ask you to clarify it more detailed. Thank you.
Hi,
We are happy to inform that the feature that you requested was added in the latest update of the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin.
Now you can set up advanced search for your properties by location, size, price range and any other custom parameter. Make sure to update the plugin to its latest version (3.0.0) in order to use the new features. Here is a video tutorial on how you can set this up on your own website.
We would appreciate your feedback on the new features.
Thank you for helping us make the plugin better!
Hello, I own the big package and wanted to ask about something; in the search results we have the order of the rooms and I can’t control it anyhow, even when I added shortcodes parameters (default-sorting)
I just want my rooms to appear as follows: single then double then triple but it doesn’t 
Also, if anyone could tell me how to use the variation in accommodation rates as I need to do so in each room thank you 
Hi,
You can sort accommodation types at search results page by:
- order
- price
If you added parameter default_sorting="order" to search results shortcode you should adjust order of accommodation types in your dashboard. Each accommodation type has Order value that can be used to define its position. Feel free to email us using address you used for theme purchase in case you need our assistance.
Could you also clarify your question about rate variations more detailed? Thank you.

Hi ! I have some big problème with the customize part of Océnaica. One day i have the normal acces, to day, nothing. withe page. I’m working with wordpress 4.9.5–fr_FR with woocomerce solution… If you can help me it whill be kool !
hello. where can i find your hotel booking plugin. the downloadpackage (zip) contains only the template. wp says “This theme recommends the following plugins: Hotel Booking, Jetpack by WordPress.com und Shortcode Widget” but the “Hotel booking” has no link ??
“This theme recommends the following plugins: Hotel Booking, Jetpack by WordPress.com und Shortcode Widget” Hotel Booking plugin is the first one in this list.
i know, but “Hotel Booking” is not a clickable link
here you can see it … https://image.ibb.co/mrZXuH/hotel_booking_motopress_no_link.png
You can find link for Hotel Booking plugin used in Oceanica theme by reading its description. It is included in theme package and is not integrated from external source that’s why it is not linked in your dashboard.
ok i have find it in the assets folder … thanks
Hi, I need to change the links to the three front page images. I have renamed Activities, Hotel Rooms and Hotel Services as a Sala Colazione, Camera matrimoniale e Camera doppia and I would like them to focus on these new pages that I have created but I can not find a way to change the links.
Hi. Thank you for the questions. The front page of Oceanica displays the thumbnails and titles of its child pages. Make sure that you state the front page as the parent page while creating your new pages. If you want to display accommodation types created in Accommodation > Accommodation Types instead of the thumbnails, you would need to use this shortcode [mphb_rooms]
i want to setup payment gatway to show at check out booking .how can i do
Hi. You need to enable the Confirmation upon Payment mode in Accommodation > Settings. Then enable the needed payment gateways in Accommodation > Settings > Payment Gateways. You also need to fill in the seller account details in the tab of your payment gateway.
Hello,

Good morning kind assistance, I purchased your theme and I’m proceeding to its configuration and I ask how I can use and insert a slide (rev slider) on the home page instead of the statistic image. I await your advice Thank you
Hi,
Thank you for your question. It will require to install Child Theme, copy template-front-page.php file from parent theme to child one and embed slider instead of featured image.
Do not hesitate to email us if you need our assistance.
Dear Mototeam Assistance, I would have a new request as I did not find this possibility in the panel. How can we manage the price change according to the guests present? Example we would like a couple of 2 people to book a quadruple room because it can be the only one available at the time, but we do not want to charge the full price but with a lower cost and so on for other types of rooms. waiting for your response Kind regards and good work
Hi Marco,
Thank you for your suggestion. We are going to add feature to create variable pricing depending on guests amount/capacity for certain accommodation type. Do you mean the same option? If so then it might be available in one of the next updates.
Currently you can add one more rate for your quadruple room with different price and your guests will be able to select needed rate on the checkout.
Is it correct and what I need, do you know the timing of release of the update? While at the moment I can use the function you have indicated to me that it should be like an example in a room or room with breakfast and the price changed thank you
Hi
Unfortunately we can not say exact date of release but we can say for sure that this feature is of highest priority so we’ll do our best to add it in one of the next versions. We’ll notify you here once we get any news on this.
Greetings, This is a pre-sales query … would this template have enough flexibility to accommodate a single apartment rental ? Thanks
Hi,
Thank you for your question. Yes, sure it can be used for single apartment rental and any other types of accommodations. There is possibility to show your apartment right at the front page if it’s the only one there, etc.
You can try Demo #2 and contact us if you have any further question.
Is there any way to disable “Children” section in booking screen?
Hi,
If you mean you want to hide ‘Children’ parameter on checkout page so you can do this using CSS. Please email us to get more details and our assistance.
Hello this theme can be using and with woocomerce to use various payment gateway?
Hi,
Yes, you would need Booking WooCommerce Payments addon to integrate payment gateway from WooCommerce.
Hi, I like the theme and the booking system. It has all features I need. But I have a question. Is it possible to change booking calendar system box style. It shows the box between dates. But I need to show them inside the dates. For example if customer books for 23 Feb, the green box is between 23 and 24 Feb. Is it possible to make it just inside 23 Feb? Like this: https://prnt.sc/ig6na9 Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and question however there is no option to change the way of filling the booked dates at the moment. It is meant that guest stays per night. But we’ll review your suggestion and see if somebody else would need this too. Thank you.
Hi, how I can change the anchor between the pages? Thank you.

Hi. I want to know something before I bought template. If I have example 4 types of room and each types have more than one room, can your plugin synchronize with Ical ?
Hi. Thank you for the question. You can generate the needed number of physical accommodations of the same type of rooms. Each of these physical accommodations will have their own availability calendar that can be synced with external booking platforms through iCal. The sync can be both automatic and manual
Hello, I would like to know whether this theme supports PayU Money payment Integration. If not can you integrate it for us ? How much do you charge for that?

Hi, We are glad to announce that the WooCommerce Integration addon is available now. It allows you connect any WooCommerce gateway to the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin and receive payments through them.
You can also try out the addon by registering the Villagio demo
Hi I have 2 presales questions:
1 . I am not going to use the integrated booking, the booking form can be used as a normal booking form to ask for info for the booking?
2. I need to add packages (room + bus) with seasonal pricing, can this be done?
Regards
Hi,
I’m sorry for late reply. The booking form is added by mean of integrated booking (Hotel Booking by MotoPress) so you will need to use it if you need this form. It is needed to search for available rooms.
You can add Room+Bus rate for any accommodation type so your visitors will be able to select the rate that suits them at the checkout.
Hi author, hope you find well. I tried to find some pics about hotel admin panel but i couldn’t. Precisely about how it looks the reservation dashboard (calendar), a reservation detail, and other pages that it concern about reservations administration process. Thank you in advance. Regards
Hi,

By the way this demo is created using our other plugin called Demo Builder))
