I am interested in buying the Theme, I would like to know if you can manage the number of seats available on each tour. When I see the theme I do not see this item, but it can be seen in the PlugIn Booking Calendar. What does “Includes a customized version of Booked” mean?

Best regards JorgeG

Hi,

1. In the Booked plugin, there is indeed an option to track and limit the number of bookings for any tour / timeslot. The only caveat is that to use that feature, each booking is for one slot. If you add an option to select a number of people, you can indeed have them pay for that number of people, but it wouldn’t connect with the remaining slot number. Does that make sense?

2. The ‘customized version’ refers to a number of things: our theme includes custom styling for the plugin ; we created an Elementor widget to integrate it more smoothly with the builder ; we added a custom tooltip option above the calendar ; we added sizing options ; and we changed some of the text to better support the niche.

Booked is included, but optional – there are also different options you could consider if Booked isn’t exactly what you need. Here are two other systems that are also compatible with Embark:

FareHarbor – http://www.fareharbor.com (no monthly fee – pay per transaction)

Checkfront – http://www.checkfront.com (different monthly fees, no fee per transaction)

Hi,

thanks for the info. What I need to confirm is if I can keep an inventory control of the available places. If two spaces are sold on a schedule or day, subtracts from the total number of places and the calendar shows the available places?

Jorge

That’s correct, you can do that with this plugin. :) Happy to help

Hi, I’m considering this theme for a tour site but we would like to see how the system for creating the tours work, it’s there a way to see the admin part of the theme?

Hello! Thanks for your interest. We don’t have an admin demo but if you contact us here: https://themeforest.net/user/themovation (right sidebar form) we can send you some videos and screenshots of that. I’m sure that we can work something out for you. Ii’ll watch for your email.

Is it possible to control the logo size in Sticky Header? Our logo is square and it is really small in the Sticky Header. What is the best way to fix that?

Thank you, Martin

Yes there is an option to resize the logo in the sticky header. Please see https://themovation.helpscoutdocs.com/article/167-change-the-sticky-header-logo-size – Happy to help.

Pre-sales question I saw that you have in some demo tours the pick up service (limo) is there a possibility to have a pick up address to add when a user would like to book a tour? Thank you

Hello! Yes, you just need to add a custom field. You can do this inside of the theme. :)

Awesome Do you have any demo backend I can try? And one last question: when I book a tour I get the dropdown menu asking me to select a product ( http://prntscr.com/n6gq1d Is that possible to remove it and just have the number of persons/children? Thanks

Hello! We don’t have an admin backend demo yet, but the live demo should help. https://demo.themovation.com/embark/ also the user guide here https://boxystudio.ticksy.com/article/6267/ :)

How is it possible to change the font Ludicrous to something else? I don’t see the option inside Theme Options? Where is it loading from?

Thank you, Martin

No problem!

No – in the same place under Appearance > Customize > Theme Options > Typography you can select any Google font or system font to use for the different elements (headings, paragraph text, etc) and it will automatically update across all pages.

Then you do have the option on each widget to override that if you want.

Got it working now. Thank you so much for your support on this :-)

Great. No problem!

Before I purchase, I am wondering how easy this theme is to customise (i am a junior developer so familiar with wordpress/php/css). also, this is for a client who offers 100+ tours throughout the year – is this theme good to support so many tours? what about tours that run multiple days (like 5 fay tours) and what about for tours that repeat throughout the year? will i have to manually add in each repeated tour? also can i set a limit on how many people can sign up for a tour, and have the tour closed when that limit is reached? thanks in advance.

Hi,

1. Our themes are designed to not require any code editing. We tried all of the page builders and we found that Elementor was the most intuitive and feature rich, so we specifically chose to use Elementor which is excellent: https://demo.themovation.com/embark/live-page-builder/

2a. There is not limit to the number of tours you can have. You can set it up so that your tours have a schedule Mon-Sun, etc – or you can individually add them. It supports setting each day of the week, but doesn’t have an option for monthly recurring.

2b. The Booked system allows for time slots from 5 minutes up to one full day. It’s not really designed for multi-day tours.

2c. Yes you can limit the number of people that can sign up for a tour.

There are however different options you could consider if Booked isn’t exactly what you need. Here are two other systems that are compatible with Embark:

FareHarbor – http://www.fareharbor.com (no monthly fee – pay per transaction)

Checkfront – http://www.checkfront.com (different monthly fees, no fee per transaction)

Hello, your demos are not working and I would like to see some of the pages. Are you working on fixing this?

Hello! Thanks for letting us know. I checked just now and they appear to be up. :)

Please let us know if you have any difficulties.

Hi I’ve a mistake in mobile it’s a very bad screen in responsive on mobile with the tour grid widget.

This bug appears 1 weeks ago on this website : https://www.tournus-canoe.fr

Can you help me​ ?

Hi, that’s a strange issue and I’m not sure that I have seen that come up before.

First, I would ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme – you can update using the included Envato Market plugin.

If the issue persists in the newest version, disable any non-essential plugins to see if there was a conflict. Here is a list of what is included with the theme: https://themovation.helpscoutdocs.com/article/207-required-plugin-list-for-embark

If the issue is still there with only essential plugins, please open a ticket: https://themovation.ticksy.com

thank’s a lot, I’ve found it’s the jetpack plugin make this bug

Ok great, no problem. I’ll make a note to look into what the conflict is there so we can resolve it for a future update.

I changed the “Tour Custom Slug” in Misc. and now I just get a 404 for all tour pages? If I empty/delete the slug, it no longer use “tour” but instead “themo_tour” which also creates an 404 error.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks, Martin

Hi, yes sometimes in WordPress when a permalink is changed that can happen. If you set it as you want, and then just go in the WP admin under Settings > Permalinks, and then click the blue Update button a couple of times it should save and there should be no errors.

Let me know how that works for you.

Hello,

I recently did an update for my theme and the WP Dashboard no longer shows the TOURS (for Posts) menu – it’s gone!

I tried to submit a ticket but I’m no longer covered for support. Can you help?

Thanks

hello! Thanks for letting us know. Sorry to see that you are running into issues. Can you please let us know which version of Embark and also the version of Page Builder Widget Pack? Thank you. :) – you can also send us direct access message via our Profile link : https://themeforest.net/user/themovation – Happy to help.

What booking plugin to you use? Or did you make it yourself? Is there a way to have people “inquire” instead of book? Do you have a demo of the backend? I need an easy to use theme for my clients. NOthing klunky and unintuitive.

Hi, the booking system is called Booked. We have this page with an overview of the plugin: https://demo.themovation.com/embark/booking/

We are not the creators of the plugin, but we have an agreement where we bundle the full version of Booked with the purchase of Embark. Yes there is an option to choose to have it as a request instead of a direct booking.

There is an admin demo available here: https://getbooked.io/try-demo/

Hello,

Is this theme compatible with bokun? I want to integrate this in my tour section so it connects with existing calendar and availability from other supply channels (like Tripadvisor)

Hi, is this what you are referring to? https://bokun.io/

We haven’t specifically tested that integration, but it should work well.

If you don’t want to use the included booking system with Embark, you can just disable it and none of the resources will be loaded. Then there are different options for how you can add another system. Elementor makes it very easy to add a shortcode or custom code block anywhere on any page.

Hello, very nice theme! But how to import other pages from demo version? Now i have only this http://ural.tours/pages.png

Hello! Under the Elementor templates area you should see a list of pages that we bundle for that demo. Does that help?

Hi, pre-purchase question: Is it possible to maximize the number of participants in the booking calendar? And may the calendar indicate if the seats are over? Thanks! Kriszti

Hello! Thank you for your interest.

Yes, you can set the number of seats and then it will track what is remaining. There is a space for that :)

Happy to help.

https://demo.themovation.com/embark/river-rafting/home-calendar/

Thank you for the answer. And one more question. Is it possible to add another form of payment?

Yes, you can multiple payment forms via WooCommerce. The plugin works with WooCommerce for the entire checkout process :)

Hello, I am interested in purchasing your theme, which looks great ! I have two questions though : 1- I am working for a travel agency and we sell customizable travels. As there are lots of information on our product pages (introduction, itinerary, map, budget, housing…) I’d like to have an anchor menu on these pages, instead of tabs (ex : https://demo.goodlayers.com/traveltour/tour/africa-amazing-african-safari/ ) Would that be possible here? 2- I saw a Sort option on the demo but it looks more like Filtering to me. Do you offer a “Sort by” option on pages (ex : sort by price, date…)

Great thanks ! Sarah

HI Sarah,

1 – Thank you. We have anchor menus, however it’s not a toolbar that sticks to the top, however the main nav does provide sticky functionality.

2 – Thanks correct, it’s a filter option which you have control over. You would need to use a search plugin if you would like to have the sort option (sort by price).

I hope that helps.

Two pre-sales questions: 1. In a page such as this: https://demo.themovation.com/embark/river-rafting/tour/camping-tour/ is it possible to add a map of the location of the activity people sign up for? 2. Is it possible to show how many people already signed up for a certain tour/activity to entice people to book quickly? Is that a possible setting in the booked plugin? 3. Is it easy to add parallax images to the home page? 4. Is it easy to add a video/photo gallery? Thanks!

Hi,

1. Yes, certainly.

2. Not quite, but there is an option to show how many slots are remaining for any booking time.

3. Yes, very easy.

4. Yes

Hi, I’m customizing your Embark theme for a client and they want to use Bookeo for tour bookings and Stripe to process payments. Do I still need WooCommerce active if I’m using Bookeo?

Also, I’m not sold on using Bookeo. I like the Booked plugin that comes with the theme you built. Would you say it’s better than Bookeo? If I convinced my client that Booked is a better way to go, will it work with Stripe as processor? Please advise as soon as possible. Thanks.

Hi, we are quite well versed in Booked and have a lot of experience with that plugin since it is bundled with some of our themes. Bookeo however we don’t have experience with, so I’m less aware of the details of that system. I don’t think it requires WooCommerce though.

It’s hard for me to do a direct comparison with Bookeo, but you can have a look at the Booked marketing:

https://getbooked.io/ https://demo.themovation.com/embark/booking/

If you have questions, we’ll do our best to answer them – please open a ticket: https://themovation.ticksy.com

I can say that since Booked connects with WooCommerce, you can certainly use Stripe with Booked.

Hi, I use the theme with Booked plugin for city tours. Is it possible to insert QR code in the email sent to the customer? And above all, which mobile APP can be used by the tour guide to scan the code, and allow the status of the bookings to be updated on the site? Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Hi, the Booked plugin does provide some options for customizing the emails that get sent out, but it doesn’t directly include QR code functionality so that would have to be implemented as a customization.

Hello I have bought your template but only seem to find the “full width” tour pages when i install it, i´d much rather use the “sidebar calendar” to start from, how can i get the template for that?

Hi, yes I just responded in your ticket with a link.

could you please include email add and tel no. as part of the menu

Hi, there actually are more options for the header that aren’t currently shown in the demo. You can see them in our Stratus demo – all the same options are in Embark: https://demo.themovation.com/stratus/site-header-options/

Also we are working on an update that will include even more options for the header.
