FAQ-e
-
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”.

This plugin(PRO) is the same as the simple booking calender.
$39 for ical calender is expensive.

Been using this plugin for a while with great results but just tried to use as a shortcode.
The example given is wrong because the quotes used are incorrect !
I can see lots of people have had this same problem but this WILL work without the quotes i.e. [wpia id=1 title=no language=auto] or if you use standard " quotes ! Took me a while to figure it out so I thought I'd save others the effort.

Paid Plugin doesn't work. No Support is available. There are better free options out there. They made a great landing page so I bought it stupidly without reading any reviews.

The plugin doesn't work with Internet Explorer 11. It displays the widget, which should be located in the right sidebar, at the bottom of the page. After finally scrolling down to the bottom of the page to see the widget, it becomes sticky, obscuring whatever content it slides over when the page is scrolled up and down. Also, the display of the widget is cut off and the buttons aren't displaying the right background color. The background color issue also occurs in Edge.
Plugin hasn't been updated in over a year and support is non-existent. They're still selling a 'Pro' version of this on their own website, so buyer beware.

May 2018 : The plugin works fine with WordPress 4.9.5 and Theme OceanWP. The support corrected it in few days to be GDPR compliant with a Homeaway feed. Great support. Thank-you.
July 2020 : The plugin still works 2 years after with Wordpress 5.4.2 and feeds from google calendars. A good buying. Thanks again.
