Publish clear availability calendars
WP Simple Booking Calendar Premium is designed for websites that need to show availability clearly and let visitors check dates with just a few clicks. Use it for a holiday home, room, bed and breakfast, office, piece of equipment, or shift schedule. By displaying current availability online, you can reduce the need to answer repeated questions by phone, chat, or email.
The Premium edition builds on the basic booking calendar with more calendars, editing controls, publishing options, and customization features. It is suitable for owners and teams managing one or more resources from a WordPress website.
Premium calendar management
- Create an unlimited number of booking calendars.
- Display multiple months and provide a multiple-calendar overview.
- Use a bulk editor to change multiple dates with one click.
- Add information for individual days and display it in a tooltip.
- Hide booking history from visitors when you want to show availability without older booking details.
- Highlight the current day and show week numbers from 1 to 52.
You can adjust the first day of the week and choose the month and year where the calendar begins. These settings help adapt the display to the way your business or audience plans availability.
Synchronization and data tools
When the same property or resource is listed on several websites, Premium can synchronize calendars with Airbnb, Booking.com, HomeAway, FlipKey, and other sites that support iCal. This helps keep availability data aligned across supported services. The source also describes exporting calendar dates as a CSV file for use outside the calendar interface.
Customize the calendar display
Create your own legend with custom colors and languages so visitors can understand different availability states at a glance. Premium also provides a range of language preferences that are designed to be simple to use and display. Calendar content can be placed on a page or post with a generated shortcode.
For websites managing several resources, the multiple-calendar overview provides a single way to present calendar information. User management lets you assign specific users to specific calendars, helping separate responsibilities when several people maintain availability data.
Practical uses
- Show open and unavailable dates for a holiday rental.
- Present availability for rooms or bed and breakfast accommodation.
- Manage office or equipment availability.
- Publish a shift calendar.
- Coordinate several calendars through a WordPress multisite network.
The responsive calendar layout is intended for visitors using different screen sizes. WordPress multisite support is included for network-based installations, and professional support is listed as part of the Premium offering.
Installation and publishing
Install WP Simple Booking Calendar Premium on your WordPress website, create the calendars you need, and enter availability information for each day. Configure the display, legend, language, and calendar settings, then generate a shortcode and add it to the page or post where visitors should view availability. If your calendars are also published on supported iCal services, configure synchronization so availability can be shared between the relevant websites.
