Dear WP Estate Team,

Hope you are all great! I am so glad with your very fast reply!

We would like to buy the theme ( Motorhomes Rentals), could you please send us a link to purchase

Best Regards,

Hello. Thank you for the follow up. The theme is WpRentals and Motorhomes is a demo you can select to import after you install WPRentals theme and included plugins.

The theme is sold on Envato market here https://themeforest.net/item/wp-rentals-booking-accommodation-wordpress-theme/12921802

The demo is imported after you install the theme and the plugins. WE have a video here https://help.wprentals.org/article/demo-import-video-tutorials/#iceland

For assistance with demo import and any theme feature please also 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).

Please note that our standard office hours are Monday – Friday, 9AM-5PM Europe timezone.

Thank you

thank you !

So we will buy as package, then we will choose right?

Regards,

Yes, it is a theme package – then you choose the demo you wish (iceland). Thank you

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since you have elected to now FORCE us to give you our email addresses and agree to “I consent to Wpestate.org collecting my personal information according to its Privacy policy and Terms of use.” to download the demo content, you could at least have the common decency to post links to what you are forcing us to agree to. There is no link in the forced agreement popup in WordPress. There are no links to those very important pages in your site’s footer. Even your help desk site comes up empty when you search for “privacy policy”. So just what are you trying to force people to agree to? Normal companies accept the Item Purchase Code from envato. Who are you selling our emails to?

The update is live. Thank you again for sharing your concern and I hope our pro-active response helps confirm we have only good intentions with the theme updates we release. In this update all we want is to protect real buyers from situations where their license is re-used illegally, which also helps us invest into creating new features and new theme updates for our clients only. If you need further help please send me a message here and we will assist asap https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate

What update? You’re still requiring us to agree to a privacy policy and terms of use that you don’t even link to. This is bullshit. I can’t spread word of this on envato but I can spread it on reddit.

And, no, I don’t want a refund because getting a refund would mean that envato would force me to remove all comments on your theme. That’s the only reason most of the themes on themeforest have high ratings – envato forces the removal of their bad experiences as a condition of getting their refund. The ratings system on envato/themeforest means nothing.

Keep the money. At least I can warn others to stay clear of this theme in the comments this way…...

I think you are over reacting – I see that you have been a customer of theme for several years, and from what I understand you are still using it. I don’t see you complaining about having software that took 8 years and more than 10,000 hours to develop for $69. And get lifetime updates. 

So if you feel you need to complain that you get all this value but don’t have a  link to this page https://wpestate.org/privacy-policy/ please go ahead.

We will continue to do what we always do – improving the product, releasing new features and demos, and occasionally missing a link or having a bug.

Thank you

Hi

I thought I could use the theme graphoical templates without the booking system, as I already have one that works well. But it doesn’t seem feasible as all the sliders and stuffs are linked to properties or specific content type of your booking system.

Is there a way to get reimbursed as I will not use your theme, it doesn’t fit my needs.

Hello julienl29, Thank you for the comment and for buying the theme. I have answered this question be email earlier. Please reply to the email for further assistance.

Thank you

Dear Team,

how can we translate theme to Turkish language ?

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

You can translate the theme, you can find all the details in the below help article: https://help.wprentals.org/article/translation/

Thank you,

At the moment I am testing and I have not had a problem, I would like to know if they have any rest API available to be able to use the rental features

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

The theme does not have a rest API option available.

hello, i am trying this plugin for offline credit card paymnet this plugin work fine in any woocomerce installation but not in yours? have you made some changes in woocomerce?

https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-offline-credit-card-payment-method/19394925

Hi, We do not know this plugin. We have these specific function overwritten as shared in a previous comment https://prnt.sc/DAYg-Kw-7VFOhttps://help.wprentals.org/article/install-woocommerce-and-use-woocommerce-payments/

I do not know what is the problem of the plugin you try to use as we never used it. If you have more details about the issue – messages returned we can try to check, but I cannot promise we could assist without having some error or message to help check the theme end code. You can send us all the details in support.

It can be tested by deleting the entire function we have overwritten. The file path is in the help file. That is the only custom change we have made.

Thank you

Hi, i got this answer from plugin creator:

checked the booking plugin (wprentals) is not storing standard data on woocommerce order. as i checked its storing post type as shop_order_onhold post type but woocommerce standard order post type is shop_order. One more thing its not storing payment method type on order meta So the plugin is not working with booking plugin.

Hi,. I understand this plugin needs specific code. Development team can confirm exactly what WpRentals theme uses from woo commerce functionality and then you can confirm with the plugin author if the plugin works or not as we integrated the woo commerce system. If it is not possible, perhaps there is an alternative to the plugin that works with our current way to integrate woo commerce..

Please open a ticket for development team to confirm how we use woo commerce so you can fwd the answer to the plugin author.

Thank you

Hi there, I have purchased and made a website on WP Residence and would like to get the same style website but have a short term rental feature. I would like to use a custom elementor sngle property page built with elementor that same way that WP Residnece allows. It something like that possible?

Thank you for the help

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

The WP Rentals theme does not have an option for a custom property template. The listing page options can be found in Theme Options and you can use the Listings Page Layout Manager https://help.wprentals.org/article/how-to-work-with-the-listing-page-layout-manager/

Thank you,

good day

i am looking at your theme and demos, are there any paid plugins on the sites. also i am wanting to list numerous properties as an agent and any enquiries come to me not property owner. i dont want potential clients to be able to use calendar function to check availability as i need to confirm this directly with property owners, is that fine to achieve ?

lastly i am wanting to build rental site as mentioned above, but i also want to offer package to client for golfing while on vacation. do you have demo template with something similar to this setup?

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

i am looking at your theme and demos, are there any paid plugins on the sites. -> The options that you see in our demos were built with the theme default options and included plugins. You do not need paid plugins.

also i am wanting to list numerous properties as an agent and any enquiries come to me not property owner. -> The owner that submitted the property will receive the notifications, you as admin can make settings in Theme Options to receive a duplicate email. -> You can replace the booking form with a contact form: https://help.wprentals.org/article/adddelete-booked-periods-as-owner/

i dont want potential clients to be able to use calendar function to check availability as i need to confirm this directly with property owners, is that fine to achieve ?

lastly i am wanting to build rental site as mentioned above, but i also want to offer package to client for golfing while on vacation. do you have demo template with something similar to this setup? -> We do not have this option un the theme.

Thank you,

I have read about the split payment mechanism which is not possible. However, I see that you have Woocomerce checkout. There is a plugin called CollabPay that does split payments. Will it work if I use this combo?

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

We never tested that plguin to be able to advise further, but for split payments to be posible each owner and guest will need to add his payment details.

For security reasons, you cannot allow users to transaction money between them. No site allows that. Payments are tracked and supervised by merchants through API and specific rules. And you cannot allow owners to set an API each in one database.

Thank you,

Hi there, I am wondering about the scalability of a system using this theme. Do you have any performance testing results for a demo site that has 20,000+ listings, or even bigger than that? Can it handle those load easily? Any helpful insights about the load time for the search results page and listings page? Similarly, how about the system’s capacity to handle tens of thousands of messages between hosts and guests? I am trying to create a site using your theme as the base. I’d like to know your testing results and your thoughts on performance/latency/scale for a site that has tens of thousands of listings with many user interactions daily. Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

The theme will not have a limitation on the number of listings that can be submitted. We do not have a demo with such a large number of listings.

To achieve what you want, along with the correct theme settings, you need to have a good server package to sustain that amount of data.

The theme is equipped with features like database cache, map pins control, optimized code – details that matter for speed.

Thank you,

hello,

i watch this good video how admin collects the full booking amount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBM29hk3Cag

Do you have a video or instructions how admin collects deposit thru woocomerce and after how admin collect full payment?

Regards

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

You can check the below help article, it has details on how to manage Woo commerce payments: https://help.wprentals.org/article/install-woocommerce-and-use-woocommerce-payments/

The theme settings will remain the same, you need to set the deposit fee to 100% to take full payment.

Thank you,

i see, it was the 100% i dont want! i wanted to use deposit not 100%

Hi, You can use the same steps with deposit different than 100 as explained here https://help.wprentals.org/article/issue-invoice-reject-booking/#d_wpestate_id

Admin puts deposit User pays deposit through woo commerce. If it is manual payment in woo commerce, the order is set manually when you get the payment User sees booking confirmed User sees pay remaining balance User gets a reminder email to pay remaining balance as the theme works User can initiate remaining balance payment in his dashboard. he can pay that through woo commerce merchants, including manual payment. Order is manually changed by admin when he confirms payment.

Thank you6

hi dear Wpestate Team,

I would like to purchase Iceland rv rental theme , can you tell me how to add in search section ( from which city our customer can book RV) as it is not available in ready theme.

regrads Emrah

Hello. The theme is 1 – we created different demos, but it is the same theme. The price is $69+ possible taxes and it is sold exclusively via theme forest.

Before you buy, if you want to test our theme before you make a decision, please send a message from here https://themeforest.net/user/wpestate

Thank you

Daer Wp team,

i have purchased theme , I would like to use for motorhomes , could you please let me know how to adjust to my use, from scratch?

I saw your videos on YouTube however it is very complicated.

Best Regards

Hello Sherry, Thank you for buying WpRentals. Our Motorhome demos was created by us. It saves you hours of work to start from 0 and has a prebuilt demo. It is highly recommended to start with motorhomes demo import. This video explains this step – https://help.wprentals.org/article/demo-import-video-tutorials/#iceland

Next step is to modify the content and apply the changes you wish. To offer guidance to make this changes, we need to know what changes.

To make the process simple, this is what I recommend.

Start with demo import. Please see the video. If the video steps are not clear enough for you, you can apply them and send us wp-admin url to see what you have done and help complete any steps (if necessary)

Next we can guide for each question you have based on what you need to modify, with our help links or giving direct instructions when needed. You can open a ticket for each question and we will reply during office hours, as soon as we can.

Hi there, just a quick pre sale is it possible to set the property listings to a per week price rather then just a per day price

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

The theme does not support per-week bookings. We have an option to set a custom price if the booked period is bigger than 7 days but still, the booking will be calculated per night.

Thank you,

Complain ! Can’t update to new theme

I bought this theme 3 years ago and updated the theme a few times before, now the theme rejects me to update. It shows ” License code is already registered for other domain.” why you set my domain to others, what happened?

Since new theme published, too much strange thing.

After I study your new policy, you need us to deregister the domain I used the license and use this licese in a new domain, but I delete the testing website I used the license and I never register any my website even if the website is the same as the domain I used the license. What I can do now?

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

The license terms state that the license can be used for 1 end product. We would need to check this for you in private.

Please use our client support https://support.wpestate.org/

Send us the 2nd sub-domain wp-admin access and the main one and we will check this further in support.

Please note that our standard office hours are Monday – Friday, 9AM-5PM Europe timezone.

Thank you

If the message shows, the license was used and not re-deregistered – https://help.wprentals.org/article/where-is-my-purchase-code/ Please use support to check the license you used and help re-use or help with the 2nd domain if you wish. Thank you

Hey please can i purchase the theme and install it first on my test website ( local host or subdomain) before installing it on my live and main website .. thebooking.com

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

You can activate the license first on a test domain. Once you are done with the development, you will need to deregister the license from test domain and activate it on the live domain.

Thank you,

ok and what if i want to install a demo on the main website, for example thebooking.com and a second demo on the subdomain, for example thebooking/officerental.com

Hello. In this example, the license terms that state the license can be used for 1 end product would not apply and we would need to check this for you in private.

Please use our client support https://support.wpestate.org/

Send us the 2nd sub-domain wp-admin access and the main one and we will check this further in support.

hello i have my own POS so how can i add Offline Credit Card Checkout Method

Hi. WooCommerce specializes in all payments method, but I have not found anything about this on their site. If there is something I missed, you can double check on their site https://woocommerce.com/payments/ We as developers do not work with POS and credit offline payments, so we cannot know how this works. If there is a new feature you wish to propose, please send the exact process / details / fields to understand if it is something we can plan to add in the future.

Thank you

Good morning,

pos offline credit card payments work like this:

1. Renter book a accommodation on the phone and we take the credit card details and use them on the POS machine manually this is very normal.

2. Renter book accommodation on wp rentals and at WooCommerce payments is has a credit card form so renter can add card details and we add there details manually in to our POS machine.

the benefit of this is that we only have a very low cost of 1% when PayPal and stripe are much more higher..

this is very common for smaller travel companies

Hi.

In case 1 – since you do the card details by phone, what else would is needed as feature? Please be as specific as possible to be able to evaluate the request and see if it is Something that can be added to wishlist.

In case 2 – my suggestion with extra checkout fields seems to match. Since in checkout you can add other fields for credit card. In woo commerce case, I assume as payment method direct payment would work best https://woocommerce.com/document/bacs/ since you as admin could transform order to processing after you process the credit card offline as you described you do.

Thank you

Hi, can i disable the booking form? i just want to make an external link on sidebar.. like referral link

Hello. Thank you for the message. We have the possibility to replace book now with an external link of your choice – https://help.wprentals.org/article/add-a-redirect-url-instead-of-book-now-button/

This is a demo https://main.wprentals.org/properties/private-cozy-apartment/ – Book now redirects to a chosen link we added to that property.

The book form is included in this example, but you could hide the details of the form you do now wish to show with custom css.

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

Hi, thank you for the fast reply.

That’s nice. But instead a single link referral, can we add more than one? just on your demo, the link will go to airbnb, how about if i want to make it redirect to agoda and booking.com also?

My concern for my project is, in one single listing will list the property but on sidebar i want it at least 2-3 link more referral link to generate commisions.

example of link : 10% on airbnb, 18% with agoda, 20% on booking.

Hi. We have support for 1 link only I am afraid. Thank you

Price is wrong for more guests

I set a price per guest at Extra Price Option, then I seltect 2 guests on Booking Form, but the amount shows only one guest’s price under the Booking Form, and the Total Amount is wrong also. This problem exists on new theme version 3.10.2 and 3.11 .You can test to find at my site https://basic.renthese.com/yacht/test_boat/

Hello Leon,

Please use our client support https://support.wpestate.org/ for us to check this properly This is also a private support where you can send us your site details (url and wp-admin access).

Thank you

This is a serious problem in new themes because old ones working right, I will contact you on other way.

Doesn’t work with WPML.

Email notification doesn’t work with WPML since I updated it into version 3.10.2. It didn’t work properly for two months, so I think you should take it seriously to resolve it instead of denying the problem. If you need more info, I would like to supply more pictures and info. Thanks

Hi Leon,

You said

Thanks

-> Please open a ticket in support https://support.wpestate.org/ and confirm an example of email in 2nd language (subject and content) to test and see how it shows.

We will do this 1. Test on our server email to confirm there is no theme issue. 2. If we do not replicate on our end, we do a standard debug on your site to investigate with wp-admin and FTP credentials, as we need to.

And Email Management doesn’t support some languages, seems not to set utf8. I put 2 language reply contents in email management such new user registration, the email notifications only display english correct, other language is Garbled characters. You can test to register at my site https://basic.renthese.com/zh-hans/ , then you will find these carbled characters in your email.

—> If I test on your site, I need wp-admin and FTP too to see the exact text too as first I need to compare test – your site vs ours. We have to test with a clean theme first, and for that we use our domains.

—> On our test domain, at your comment, we tested with Korean, Chinese and Japanese. We tested with general language in subject – Here is proof https://prnt.sc/hRr3ClyjFc1T

—> A theme issue replicates. We could not replicate. In this case it can be an issue with your server email requiring a specific mail function. We need wp-admin and FTP to do tests and investigate this for you.

We updated 3.11 with email function based on a specific client situation which is not as yours, but he confirmed it helped him. It was related to his server email and particular language. It may help you too.

Please update to 3.11 (theme and plugins) and check to see if that helps you too. If not, you can choose how you send us your site wp-admin and FTP to do this investigation further, here where all is public or in support https://support.wpestate.org/ where it is private.

Thank you

I follow your instruction to update the theme 3.11, the email notification doesn’t work with WPML either.

Hello. We have not changed anything t hat could block emails to be sent through the theme. If emails do not sent only with WPML languages, maybe WPMl changed something too. Please open a ticket with them.

To test the theme functionality on your site please open a ticket in support.

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) and we can test in your site and then copy your exact emails settings and test on our to compare results. If issue happens in your site only, since emails are influenced by server mail too, we will need to first make sure the theme is added without customizations and no extra plugin and re-test.

Please note that our standard office hours are Monday – Friday, 9AM-5PM Europe timezone.

Thank you
