I have giving it another try, but i just can’t get it to work as I want. The whole location area is terrible for me! How can you get rid of area/neighborhood in sumbit & edit listing and also county in location when you submit or edit a listing!! Mama Mia!!

Hi mediagroupxl

Thank you for writing and for buying the theme. We’re usually offline over weekend, but saw your comment and wanted to help as the questions are easy to manage.

1. To remove default theme fields from submit you have the submit form management in theme options. De-select area and county (use keyboard CTRL and click to de-select and save. Help https://help.wprentals.org/article/1-30-how-to-manage-submit-form-fields-and-mandatory-fields/

2. Submit location can be managed in different ways:

a. Auto-complete for city (and address) with Algolia Places

b. Auto complete for city (google places) – which saves automatically country, area and city

c. Theme Auto-complete (people type in all city details and select country from a country list manually)

d. Dropdown for City, Area and Country

If you need further help please open a ticket in support and will assist on Monday as soon as possible. Our support system is private http://support.wpestate.org

Thank you

Thanks for explaining. I will give it another try. Can you tell me how i can add the image slider (property Listing page) from type_3 to the layout of type_1. Everything can stay the same just i want to have the slider on the top.

Another issue i ran in to is that when i use child-theme and i change for example an image in child theme, its not visible in front-end, so it lloks like its not using child theme afterall? Thanx

Hi mediagroupxl

Thank you for the follow up.

For the image slider – I understand you wish to combine this https://main.wprentals.org/properties/cozy-house-in-the-sunnyside/ and this https://main.wprentals.org/properties/great-villa-to-rent/ but I cannot help use 2 sliders in one page. It’s one or the other.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, so please send more details and please send this in ticket support as if there is a solution, it’s only in code and I would need to check with my colleagues anyway.

For child theme question, I need to see what you do. Some images needs also a css in child theme. So please open a ticket to check http://support.wpestate.org

Thank you

Hello, I would like to buy the theme but I need to know if is it possible to make a book request without being logged? Thank you!

Hello, Thank you for the interest in the theme. We don’t have this option I am afraid. But we’re gathering information about this feature as it’s on our wishlist. If you have an example to check please let me know and will look over the details for future review.

Thank you

I did purchase the theme but I guess my support has just run out, but hoping you can help me with a quick question about my logo, I can’t seem to get it to fit correctly, it isn’t blurry just higher than I would like, I just would like to keep the same size of it but have it aligned with the login, sign up and submit property buttons, thanks so much for any help, the site is www.suitehub.io, I absolutely love the theme and will have to buy support again soon in the future! :)

Hi, Thank you for the beautiful feedback. I am happy you’re enjoying the theme. Logo is showing max height 54px by default, but it’s correlated to your image. And for margin you have to add some margin top (a number only) in theme options

Your logo can be set with this css

https://prnt.sc/orjbj7

.header_type2 .logo img { margin-top: 15px; max-height: 64px; }

Add in custom css – https://help.wprentals.org/article/3029/

BUT please consider making the logo smaller. It shows max height of 64 – so resize to that. Otherwise just increases your size page.

Thank you

I’m grateful for your work, WpRentals and WpResidence have been essential for my business growth since last year. For now, and to fit our custom needs, I edit little pieces of code in your plugins and themes source files, but I’m planing to implement bigger changes. My plans make me curious about what you guys envision for the future of your software. I’ve seen some interesting trends in web development, like: Web Assembly, Node Js, and Progressive Web Apps. Are you guys planning any big change?

Also, have you thought about making WpEstate projects open source? I know there’s a lot of developers who use your themes and make changes to them. It could help you to improve the software faster, allowing other developers to submit contributions to the project.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve been thinking about it.

I’m part of a team of 5 Chileans who, since last year, run both a real estate agency (https://gesprobira.cl) and a vacation rental agency (https://vacacionesenpapudo.cl). We use WpRentals and WpResidence Wordpress themes. We’ve come to a point where most of our leads, in real estate, and sales, in vacation rentals, go through our websites. Now I’m trying to figure out a workflow and aim for developing and integrating new code into the websites. This brings some complications like: wasting time, developing the same features you’re working on; or difficulty integrating changes when WpEstate theme is updated. Since I want to put my hands on developing, and want to avoid the problems previously mentioned, I’m considering starting fresh with open source software.

How open source benefits WpEstate? I’m someone who runs real estate and vacation rental businesses. I’m your client, but we have the potential to become business partners. If you made WpResidence software open source, we would work together towards the same goal: developing the best software for Real Estate businesses, faster than ever before.

How do you make money if you open source? If you google: “open source real estate software”, you will find https://propertywebbuilder.com at the top, check out their business model.

How big is your team? What is your vision? What’s your story?

Hi roaguirred, Can you send me a message here please? https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate Thank you!

Sent. Thank you!

Will the stripe API be updated to cover upcoming changes with two factor authentication that they are implementing soon?

Hi Nelmat, No problem, we will make the API update for sure. Thank you.

Is there any news on the update for stripe payment. Their new updates are due to be enforced this month and I don’t want to lose this as a payment method.

Hi nelmat, Thank you for writing. We are ready for the launch and we will release Monday. If you need help you can contact us through client support http://support.wpestate.org and we will assist with the details. Thank you!

Hi I picked up this code in this section but that doesnt work for me. It was posted 3 years ago #submit_booking_front, #advanced_submit_widget, #advanced_submit_2_mobile, #advanced_submit_2 { color: #fff; background-color: #4d5567;

Hi Inse, please show me what you wish to do, a link and will guide. Please send the details in client support http://support.wpestate.org

Thank you

Pre-sale question: Is there a way, natively or using plugins, to schedule a location AND a service associated with that booking?

For example, I want to have a birthday party for my child at a bowling alley. I want to not only book the birthday room from that bowling alley, but I also want to schedule the services of Bongo the Clown to be there at the same time.

The goal is that the services and location would schedule at the same time, using the same transaction. Is there a way to create a cart functionality to accommodate this?

Hello, Thank you for the comment. We don’t have a shopping cart. What we have is the possibility to add extra options (as one time fee) to a booking request https://help.wprentals.org/article/1-20-add-extra-options-in-booking-form/

Not sure if that is enough. If you need further help please let me know.

Thank you

Is it possible to protect your photos from people stealing off of your website?

Hi Doug, Thank you for writing. Maybe this article will inspire to help protect images https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/4-ways-to-prevent-image-theft-in-wordpress/ Thank you

Is it possible to use it only as a simple reservation tool?. Just a contact form. I mean, with no payment option.

Also, without any submission of properties from the users.

Hello antopia

You can use the booking without any deposit required.

In this demo we put 0 deposit https://demo1.wprentals.org/

We have a partial Spanish Translation which would have to be modified further with .poedit or loco translate plugin

Thank you

Hello, I’m going to buy the theme and I need the Spanish translation. Could you, please, say me how can I get it?

Hello antopia,

The translation we have is in the theme and we can help install in client support http://support.wpestate.org/

Thank you

Hi, I have some more pre-sale questions. 1. Is it possible to set up different search form for each category, which searches in only that given category within boats? for example, if I go to the listings within catamaran, on that page the search bar only shows the options for catamaran and searches within catamaran listings. And the same for each categories. 2. Is it possible to create a page for only featured listings? 3. Is it possible to show the search results with the featured listings first, or change the orden of the results by other means, for example if the partner pays an extra fee to highlight and show his listings among the first results? 4. Is it possible to create a QR code for the confirmation of the bookings, so that client only need to show that code when checking in (like on tickets)? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello Sillu

Thank you for your comment. Please see my reply

—> No, this is not possible. We have one search form with various options

2. Is it possible to create a page for only featured listings?

—> Yes.

3. Is it possible to show the search results with the featured listings first, or change the orden of the results by other means, for example if the partner pays an extra fee to highlight and show his listings among the first results?

—> We have featured listing option which is used to show properties first in list. https://help.wprentals.org/article/featured-properties-how-they-work/

4. Is it possible to create a QR code for the confirmation of the bookings, so that client only need to show that code when checking in (like on tickets)? Thanks in advance for your answers

—> We don’t have this option, sorry.

Thank you

Hello, I have some presale questions.

1. Do you have a German and/or Spanish language file for the theme?

2. Is it suitable to rent only a single vacation house with booking system, not a Hotel?

3. It’s possible to rent different sailing yacht tours (stand alone or as addtional adventure) in the systeme?

Thank you and best regards.

Hello holoplan

Thank you for the comment.

1. We have a translation for german and spanish from 2 clients, but may need to be edited with loco translate to be 100% . It’s still more than 50% done

2. The theme is designed to rent vacation homes, not hotels. So yes, you can use it like that. And you can be single owner too, with just 1 property.

3. We don’t have extra activities to rent. You can add extra options to booking form though https://help.wprentals.org/article/1-20-add-extra-options-in-booking-form/

Thank you

Hi WpEstate,

thank you for qucik response. Sounds good so far.

to 3. But it’s possible to add the yacht for rent as a second “house”?

Can a user make two bookings in the same checkout process?

eg. the house from start date to end date and the yacht from another start date to end date in the same checkout process? Like a basket checkout.

Hope you understand our idea to offer two “objects” in combination or standalone.

Hello holoplan

Please see my reply

to 3. But it’s possible to add the yacht for rent as a second “house”?

—> If you will be the one managing the property, it may be possible, but depends on the details. Please send a message here and I will help test https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate

Can a user make two bookings in the same checkout process?

—> No, this is not possible as we don’t use shopping card system. Each request is sent alone from individual listing page,

Thank you

Hi, I have two pre-sale questions. 1. Does the theme supports Apple Pay within Stripe? 2. Is it possible to add more options to charge the partners (the same way like for featuring a listing)? Thanks in advance.

Hello sillu

Thank you for the interest in our theme. We don’t have Apple Pay, just standard Stripe.

As charging options, besides charging for submission, we have the booking admin service fee (can be a % or fixed amount for every booking to be confirmed) which is sent to admin for each booking and is deducted from total booking.

Thank you

How can I change the colour for:

- The default profile picture of user - The pin on the Google Maps - The hover colour on button in a row

Hello Doug, I understand but in this case I need to see what images are still purple and how you made the changes. Please open a ticket in client support to check and help http://support.wpestate.org

Thank you

Also how can I add reviews to my property listing page?

Hi, How Admin can CANCEL CONFIRMED BOOKING? not the host the Admin please?

You’re welcome :)

Please respond to my question: For an Admin how to cancel the confirmed booking without logging to owner, there is none in dashboard

Hi, You can delete from admin – bookings too https://prnt.sc/oogtg2 Thank you

good afternoon Developers,

I would like to leave here a suggestion for future updates. Usage statistics for owners and administration:

Statistics for the owner:

- total visits to properties

- total bookings

- total contacts received

- total earned (based on confirmed bookings)

Statistics for the administrator:

- total visits to all properties

- total bookings

- total confirmed bookings

- total rejected reservations

- total contacts received by owner

- total earned by owners (based on all confirmed bookings)

July would not be very difficult to implement this and would be an asset to our owners and to us as well.

A good day for everyone

Hi Panob, I actually left the comment without reply so I can go over each item one by one with my colleagues. If I put a reply here just to aknowledge I saw them, I cannot see the comment to reply as follow up.

I saved the ideas to wishlist, but I didn’t have the chance to go over them in detail so I cannot offer more insight at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to leave the feedback and to follow up. I appreciate that.

Thank you again

Thanks for the reply!!

WP Rentals is a fantastic theme. I’ve been up and running for a year now, and although it’s not perfect, it works very well. Our project is growing continuously and the theme is managing to cope well.

We hope that statistics for owners and admin will become a reality in the future. Long live WP Rentals !!

Thank you very much :) I am really happy to read your message. We will continue to add more features to rentals, as usual, for a long time and I hope we will be able to make your wishlist too.

Thank you

With Elementor Pro and when using Footer/Header the user dashboard save (redirect to next step) or go to links underneath dont work unless you ctrl click to new tab. Any idea why? Can you guys rectify this? It only happens if I use Elementor Pro footer/header template even if they are empty

Hello pdrew101

Thank you for the comment. To help I first must replicate. Please open a ticket in support http://support.wpestate.org/ and send us the details to be able to replicate first, then we will check and follow up.

Thank you

I seem to be having a small issue with the booking dates. If someone books a property for 7 days (for example – 25th August – 31st August), it will only charge them for “6 nights”, so if a property is listed at £50 a night, the total fee is £300 and not £350 as it should be. Is there a way to alter this? Thanks

Hello Welshguy78

Thank you for the comment.

The booking works with a minim 24h (day meaning 24 h) so we consider and count 1 night between 2 days for a full 24 h.

In your example, the total is correct 25 – 31 is 6 nights

25-26 =1 26-27 = 1 27-28 = 1 28-29 = 1 29 – 30 = 1 30 – 31 =1

You can add a minimum 7 day booking requirement to force the calculation to be for 7 automatically – https://prnt.sc/omwytf .For 7×50 – Booking period is either 24-31 or 25-1st of sept

Thank you

Can i use this theme for affiliate marketing with air bnb, booking.com etc.

Hello NuageGroup

Thank you for the comment.

We don’t have a feature like this, but please give me more details to understand how it would need to work. Maybe it’s something we can add to wishlist.

Thank you

Hello there, beautiful theme, just wondering your platform (Presale Questions) 1. used what page builder as I am abit confused elementor or WPBakery 2. Can i know if I can make a gap like 3 days from the date of booking the user can’t book or to make some custom time where the user need at least 3 days or 2 days min before the time of booking to book? 3. Can I use Billplz Woocommerce Payment gateway? Sync with booking system 4. Does the booking sync with google calendar or any calendar? 5. Registration for new Vendor/Owner (Owner Form) have to upload forms (in pdf etc) I want to edit the forms for new vendor/owner registration? 6. Booking process (vendor need to accept first, or can it be auto accept after certain days)?

Hello myzx95

Thank you for the beautiful words and for your interest in our theme. Please see my reply

1. used what page builder as I am abit confused elementor or WPBakery

—> We have both as supported as page builders (to create a page with theme shortcodes and one of these 2 pages builders)

—> And you can work with which one you like.

. Demos are created now with Bakery and we will try to make new homepage templates with elementor for main demo to help clients use one or another.

2. Can i know if I can make a gap like 3 days from the date of booking the user can’t book or to make some custom time where the user need at least 3 days or 2 days min before the time of booking to book?

—> We have the option to set min number of days

—> We also have the option to set a day of the week as change over day for check-in

—> I am not sure if this is what you need though.

3. Can I use Billplz Woocommerce Payment gateway? Sync with booking system —> We don’t have this merchant or woo Commerce support.

4. Does the booking sync with google calendar or any calendar?

—> Yes. we have ical feed export (to export bookings made on rentals) and import (to import ical feeds from other platforms)

5. Registration for new Vendor/Owner (Owner Form) have to upload forms (in pdf etc) I want to edit the forms for new vendor/owner registration?

-> This will need custom development. All we have as options is already visible in demos.

6. Booking process (vendor need to accept first, or can it be auto accept after certain days)?

—> Our system works like this

a. Owner (vendor) approves the request before user pays the deposit (if that is enabled)

b. Owner checks instant booking for the request to be approved automatically and user to skip owner manual approval

We don’t have auto-accept

Thank you

Hello. Hope you’re well.

We released 2.7 theme update with WooCommerce as option to pay for a booking. WooCommerce allows to enable on checkout different merchants from their list (please note some are paid but we don’t have control over that https://woocommerce.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/payment-gateways/ ).

This is how you enable this option https://help.wprentals.org/article/install-woocommerce-and-use-woocommerce-payments/

And this is a demo of the process with woo commerce https://demo1.wprentals.org/ We only added the standard woo commerce merchants on check-out, but any woo commerce merchant can be added.

Thank you
