Hello, I am looking for a suitable theme for my “Airbnb” project. Can anyone tell if this theme is suitable for it? I have the following requirements: - Landlords can offer their vacation apartment / vacation home for rent -Customers / tenants can book apartments through the platform -Calendar with occupancy schedule -Setting for landlords between direct booking or inquiry -Host Dashboard: overview of bookings / booking requests ; own apartments, and maybe incomes / fees -Hosts can register, but must be approved (fake check). -After approval, landlords can create vacation rentals themselves -The tenant must pay a service fee for a booking -The landlord must pay a commission fee for a booking. -Inquiries should run through the portal / dashboard, so that no secret, indirect, independent bookings take place, but the mediations can be tracked. -When a booking is made, the tenant should be invoiced directly with the service fee and offered the option to pay.

Thank you for your help.

Hello. Thank you for the message. Please see my reply

I have the following requirements: - Landlords can offer their vacation apartment / vacation home for rent

—> Users can register and add properties from dashboard. We have price per night / price per hour with different options.

-Customers / tenants can book apartments through the platform -

-> Users register to send booking requests.

Calendar with occupancy schedule -Setting for landlords between direct booking or inquiry

—> I assume you mean owners to add manual bookings? It is possible – help https://help.wprentals.org/article/adddelete-booked-periods-as-owner/

-Host Dashboard: overview of bookings / booking requests ; own apartments, and maybe incomes / fees

—> We do not have reports for income because theme does not pay owner. Money transfer to site admin only.

—> You can see what dashboard includes in dashboard overview – https://help.wprentals.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Screenshot_16rentals.png

-Hosts can register, but must be approved (fake check)

—> Users register and can add listings without approval. You can use manual approval to approve listings manually.

. -After approval, landlords can create vacation rentals themselves -

—> Users can add properties after registration.

The tenant must pay a service fee for a booking -The landlord must pay a commission fee for a booking.

—> We have 1 service fee, added to total as you sent the booking and deducted from total after it is paid. There is no 2nd fee.

-Inquiries should run through the portal / dashboard, so that no secret, indirect, independent bookings take place, but the mediations can be tracked. -

—> Messages can be sent as logged in or not logged in to owner email. Admin can get duplicate emails. But there is no other tracking happening.

When a booking is made, the tenant should be invoiced directly with the service fee and offered the option to pay.

—> Please see here how to manage theme deposit and service fee – https://help.wprentals.org/article/1-20-how-to-work-with-deposit-fee-and-service-fee/

If you need further info or want to test our theme before you make a decision, please send a message from here https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate

Thank you

Is there a way to send people to a different page when clicking on “Book Now”? Client does not want to force people to log in to book and her booking goes through an API endpoint so she just needs to gather the renter’s details (name, address, phone, credit card info, etc) and send it to the API endpoint of her online property management system.

I registered at https://support.wpestate.org/ but I still have not received my password email.

Your description says the theme works with Elementor or WP Bakery, but if you do not install WP Bakery it shows “This theme recommends the following plugins: Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer and WPBakery Visual Composer.” – so does it work with Elementor Pro? Will functionality be reduced if we don’t use WP Bakery?

Hi Jim, If you have not received the confirmation email – please send a message through this form and I will help activate the support account- https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate

The plugin Bakery can not be installed – and you can dismiss the notice. It will work without problem.

Thank you

I’m trying to add a test object.

There is no option to change anything on the all-in-one calendar page.

if you uncheck .modal-backdrop {position: fixed;} then it becomes possible to change the data, but if you enter numbers in the “New price in $” field, it does not work, the price does not change.

Hi – please send a message from here https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate and I will help test what you wish.

Thank upi

Hi guys, some question:

1. on screenshot_1 https://ibb.co/92WyshF you can see your website and the css style for the availability calendar

2. on screenshot_2 https://ibb.co/b6h472Y you can see the css style downloaded today from themeforest

3. on screenshot_3 https://ibb.co/St25x3v you can see how the calendar look on my site.

so why is it another css code on your site and look much better, what am i missing?

Regards A

Hi A, https://imgbb.com/St25x3v You load a cached version – that is why you have different results

You use CDN if I remember right. Clear cache in CDN – then any plugins – then theme and lastly browser.

Please use our client support https://support.wpestate.org/ if you need further help. This is also a private support where you can send us your site details (url and wp-admin access).

Thank you

i dont use cdn and i have cleared cache.

Hi, Ok. Please open a ticket to repeat the steps – check update as well and activate main theme with clean code. The code is the same and it will apply for sure. Thank you

hi, no more new update and improvement? like enhancing fiinance report and other UI improvement?

Thanks

Hi. Finance report is not in our roadmap. We have other new features planned which we will release with our regular theme update, next one being work in progress. If you have UI improvement design suggestions, you can send them to us at https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate/portfolio

Thank you

Hello. I want to install your theme on localhost to test and try to build my site, for this I want to make 3-4 different projects on localhost. After I learn how to work with the theme, I want to buy a domain and hosting and make a real website there. Is it possible ? Can I enter activation on localhos for multiple times for different projects and will it work? Will there be problems later with theme activation on real hosting and domain? I await for a response Best regards!

It is ok. You can do it as you wish. We allow that.

Thank you for answer.

I plan to add about 1500 real estate owners of our city to my site, tell me if the WordPress project with your theme can withstand such a number of users? Can you recommend hosting options?

Thanks you.

Hi. We do not restrict number of users. So it should be ok.

As far as hosting goes, we have heard from a reliable source cloudways would be a good hosting for wordpress, but we have not tested ourselves. They offer free trial though

Thank you

Urgent: all my properties are blocked the first 4 days see here https://ibb.co/fYvnhkT

any ideas why?

i can see here on yours that today dates need to be clicked https://main.wprentals.org/properties/modern-spacious-villa/

my today date is already clicked so the 5 nights is already blocked when user open up the date calendar.

why is my today date already clicked?

i need support on this users cant click on available dates! your support say that they dont know why and they going to look in to this in future updates???

Hi. I answered in support as well. If you feel more comfortable putting my comment public, i copy it

Hi anders,

Calendar shows with current date selected when you open calendar from code https://prnt.sc/S-I-6JUYBbpM

I do not know now why – it may be something from the calendar script – but we did not make any changes to this functonality. which means it has been always like this.

I do not know how I could help not select current date, it is not something i would be able to guide you on the spot. I do not even know if it is possible to do. I can only add to our list to check this as suggestion for a future theme update

Thank you

My answer is correct.

Hi, I have a presales for a new client looking to use your template, is the following possible. They have looked at our current system and have a few questions before purchase.

1. Is it possible to have custom deposits for each listing, as some clients have different deposit requirements. 2. Is there a way to setup and advanced search were a person looking to book accommodation can search by area and then the search shows owner profiles, the problem is currently the search result returns all listings in an area, they are aiming to have hundreds of owner profiles and the search would be a nightmare with listing only.

Could you let us know if the following is possible.

Hello. Thank you for your interest. I am afraid these options are not possible (either question) Thank you

Thanks we’ll look at other templates.

Good luck!

PRE-SALE QUESTION: I’d like to use this theme for object rentals. The objects I’m renting will be delivered. Are there any options for delivery ranges and costs for delivery based on the range of the delivery location? thanks!

Hi, Thank you for the interest. We cannot work with stock or delivery. The theme would not work for your business model I am afraid. Thank you

Is there any way of adding any information about the payment to the Listing?, seems there are options on the listing how to configure certain price variations but there are not even one option/label to turn on and make it available as Pay Pal, Cash, CC etc, that part even on informational level is totally missing from the theme

Hello. Thank you for the comment.

The theme payment collects payment from user to admin. Payment systems are paypal, stripe, wire transfer (included in the theme), or woo commerce merchants. We have here the list of help articles related to payment https://help.wprentals.org/article/what-payment-platforms-are-supported-in-wprentals/

I am not sure from your description if you expect each property – as owner adds it – to have information about how user can pay owner directly. That is not supported.

We mention this in the theme presentation. But if it is something missed before making the decision to buy the theme, and it is important to you – please send a message here https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate to see how I would be able to help with a refund in this case.

Thank you

For Hourly Booking, the problem has been existing for over 3 years

If any content or prices are changed and saved, the Start time and End time change into 0 and 1 o’clock itself. This causes that no time period can be selected by customers unless you reset the Start time and End time at last step and save it. I reported this issue last year, but unfortunately it was not resolved at all. I really hope the author fix it in next update.

Hi. You said – If any content or prices are changed and saved, the Start time and End time change into 0 and 1 o’clock itself – In my video I made any content change in the property after start and end time was saved, i refreshed page, and details stayed. https://watch.screencastify.com/v/zIM7uTdQw50M6pI1xhUy

Please open a new ticket in support https://support.wpestate.org/ with your site details and show us how you replicate. We will do the same steps as you do and check further.

Thank you

Can you give me the example website, Username and Password ? let me test it

Hi, I cannot share access here – Please open a ticket in support https://support.wpestate.org/ and i will give a test domain where i made the video. You do not need to extend support. You can open a ticket with your current account. Thank you

Hey, I rent out technical equipment. I have a device with different device numbers, it is possible to rent out the same device several times over the same product page and still get the device numbers differentiated in the back end?

Hello. Thank you for the comment.

We do not have a system that can rent items with stock / inventory. Our theme would not work for that.

Hello there Is it possible to have a transparent header with search on ALL PAGES. Also can you change the name of taxonomies like categories?

Hello. Thank you for the comment and for buying the theme.

Transparent header can be enabled for all pages – Help https://help.wprentals.org/article/transparent-header/ – But this option works well when you use hero header media like image or a revolution slider.

You can change the name of the taxonomies permalink – help https://help.wprentals.org/article/how-to-change-permalinks/

Any other text you see in English in wp-admin – Properties for categories can be modified from language files. We have a help here – https://help.wprentals.org/article/how-to-modify-theme-text-in-english-with-poedit/

Is elementor the requirement for proper functioning of this theme?

thank you, but I have not change or edit anything in element, simply installing elementor is breaking up the theme, I am still confuse about availability of pages designed in elementor since it is breaking the theme why are they available?, why dont you say and limit your pages to wpbakery since it is supposedly not causing so. many issues as elementor does, once again I have not change setting or edit any elementor setting, it is as it comes out of box installations with all the defaults

Hi, I understand the changes I reverted were not made by you, but we do not use those elements in any demo either so I am not sure why they were made and how. We made videos as we import each demo and edit it with Elementor https://help.wprentals.org/article/demo-import-video-tutorials/

We will do everything we can to replicate the same display as you by re-testing import. I do not know why settings changed if you did not change them in this case, but we will keep you updated if we understand how those settings could have been added in demo import.

We will wait for your follow up in the ticket.

Thank you

Hi, It is possible you had a different Elementor theme before using WpRentals and you added WpRentals with settings already made before you installed the theme. Please let me know if that could be the case. Thank you

I use Loco translate for local translations, however I couldn’t find the po for translating the months. Where is it stored? For availability / calendar sections. Thanks

Hello. Thank you for the message. Calendar language is managed from theme options directly – https://help.wprentals.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-rentals2.wpestate.info-2023.08.24-10_27_25.png

Hello,

Your product is wonderful. Question before purchase.

1) Is it possible for the customer to pay his reservation directly when booking?  Payment via woocommerce payment method
2) How is the seller payout?  There is a page where the seller can see his income and make the payment request to the administrator?
3) Have you planned a module for hotels?  This will add a hotel with several rooms for rent.  The customer must choose an available room when booking.  Thanks

Hello. Thank you for your interest. Please see my reply

1. Admin can put 100% deposit and he will get full payment for booking to be confirmed. Deposit value is set by Admin and applies to all bookings.

2. We do not have payout. If you allow other users to register and add properties, please keep in mind there is no functionality built in the theme to support payments from user to owner or from admin to owner. Only to site admin (who can also be the owner).

3. No, we have not made plans to create a hotel booking theme. But I appreciate the feedback and suggestion. I do not know if this will exists in the theme future.

Please look over our demos to understand what the theme can do and let me know any question you have. I can answer and clear any question before making a decision.

How to fix search box, text on check in and check out fields is not lining up properly calendar icon covers it on both boxes

seems like header in homepage elementor v1 variation is not done in elementor but in wp bakery, there is no way of editing it besides adding title and subtitle and search type, seems no control over text in search entries

Hello. Thank you for the comment. I am not sure which demo page you try to edit. The pages from main demo are created with Elementor https://main.wprentals.org/ Maybe you edited an elementor page with bakery by mistake. That process can be reverted.

We can check and assist asap – with editing the demo page and understanding the alignment comment with search for which we would need a link to help answer.

We have a video for main demo here https://help.wprentals.org/article/demo-import-video-tutorials/#main and we have a video here for how to change the homepage with another variation from those offered with demo import – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj2rSVUAToo but it will be faster for us to check your site and assist with both questions after we see the settings you have done so far.

Please use our client support https://support.wpestate.org/ to help further. This is also a private support where you can send us your site details (url and wp-admin access) to check the demo page you have set and what you try to edit.

Your Demo is broken (and perhaps your theme). If you go to https://paphos.wprentals.org/properties/funchal-bungalow/ and select a begin and end date and number of guests, it fails with a message that reads “Please select the number of guests” even though the number of guests is selected.

Hi Jim. Thank you. There is no error, we forgot to select how many guests are allowed in that property. With vacation mode, guests must have a value different than 0. You can check now – we put 7 https://prnt.sc/1XvDimLfKGu3 and booking works. Thank you

Thank you for the update! Is it possible to use an external API to get availability and pricing and to reserve a booking instead of using the built-in functions for those things? Client uses a property management service that keeps up with her bookings at several different sites (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) and exposes APIs that provide all of that information so that it doesn’t need to be added to the WordPress database or managed in two locations.

Hello Jim, I understand you need to sync prices from a 3rd party. As solution we have ical sync for calendar availability, but we do not have API support to sync other data. In this case the solution can only be done with custom development, based on the api documentation. I am not able to advise more in this comment thread. If you have the documentation available and what specific items you must sync from the documentation, please send a message here https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate

Thank you
