Outstanding friendly an professional.
Many Thanks
I’ve been using WP Simple Booking Calendar for over 5 years, and it’s been a game-changer for managing reservations. When I hit a snag with migration and accented characters, Roland from Veribo resolved it quickly and professionally. The plugin is stable, the support is excellent, and I couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommended!
And great support from the staff.
I’ve been using it for many years, and will continue to do so in the future.
Have been using the plugin for many years and recently had an issue with a ics feed not importing. Their support was prompt and noticed Cloudflare was blocking the connection. I was able to resolve the issue with some custom code after their help identifying the problem
If you have one item to rent, the free version is sufficient as you can keep things up to date manually. We need it for several calendars and decided for the pro version, also to synch with other calendars. Synching works very well.
With the great help of support/developer and their additional code we were able to use ACF fields to dynamically retrieve the respective booking calendars inside the Elementor single post templates.
One template to rule all the properties. So that “simple” does not mean limited. True WordPress spirit!
