Frequently Asked Questions

How can I embed the booking calendar on a page or post?

Use the button ‘Add Calendar’ above your editor. An example of a token: [wpia id=”1″ title=”yes” language=”auto”]. If you paste this token in a page it will show your booking calendar with the title of the calendar.

How can I remove the booking calendar title from displaying?

Edit the shortcode: title=”no”.

Easy to configure

This is a great little helper! It is very easy to configure as there are not very much settings. It does one thing and this thing works great. One note: The calendar blocks the whole day if there is just one entry on one day (however small it is). If you know CSS you can style the calendar yourself a little bit more, because there are many classes used. BUT it would be great if the calendar wouldn't be fixed in size. Although you can try to achieve a bigger calendar yourself with CSS. And a complete shortcode documentation would be great. You don't need it, because there is a great GUI for it, but if you miss the button you are little bit lost. As all those critics can be solved and are not about the core functionality the 5 stars are still valid. Great plugin. Easy to configure. If you need more you can do it yourself with CSS and/or move to the premium version.
