Can't get bookings to work – your demo doesn't seem to work either…

[pdishman]

The woocommerce bookings integration is a key component to my marketplace and I can not get it to work. No matter how i set it up, you can’t select an available day on the calendar and when you press the book button, it shows a red circle with a line through it.

When I tried your demo, it shows days available that have been set to unavailable and the days that are available, it shows all time slots available, instead of the time slots that were set up, so there are definitely problems.

Need help with this ASAP!
Thank you!

I just started evaluating WCFM Marketplace for my wc bookings marketplace. Reading your post, just now, I tested my dev install and was unable to reproduce your issue. When I installed WCFM last week, I started with a snapshot of my production server, with data. The product availability accurately reflects what has been entered in the system.

You can see it working here: https://brnmdev001.wpengine.com

I just ask that you not over use this as I’m actively working on my WCFM implementation.

Thank you for your response @mitchellgould, I did look at your working demo, and it does appear to work fine – just one thing though, Are you using the Woocommerce Bookings plugin, because it does not quite look the same as mine?

Also @forum_wclovers I have noticed in the past that if someone responds to a post, you do not respond in most cases. My bookings plugin still does not work, I can not click on available dates or the book now button. Please advise! (also, my plugins are all up to date)

Thank you!

@mitchellgould, I also tested various marketplaces including Dokan, and for me it turned out that WCFM had the best features for the best money – always a work in progress though!

OK, after much testing, I finally figured this out. It has to do with the wording for availability. It says restricted days, so I assumed (incorrectly) that meant the days you don’t want to book, when in fact, it is the opposite. To restrict days, you actually have to enter the days you do want to book!

Hope that helps the next person who runs into the same problem! 🙂

@pdishman, I am using an older version of Woocommerce Bookings (Version 1.12.2 | By Automattic ). In version 1.13, they deprecated the the feature that shows partially booked days visually as red triangles on the calendar. The CSS they gave me to put it back didn’t work with my previous theme.

Now that I’m switching over to Flatsome, I will update and retest at some point, but I need to finish evaluating WCFM vs. Dokan before I renew my WC Bookings license.

Well, if you’re talking about WC booking settings, you only have to do that if you uncheck the “available by default” option. If it is not available by default, you have to add the days it is available.

[pdishman]

Yes, that is correct @mitchellgould, I have the not available options selected and then you have to put the restricted days as the day you DO want to operate (that’s what threw me) 😀
