3 Add Booking Widgets

To generate a short code for multiple properties set the selector for "Property" = All SETTING->BOOKING ENGINE->BOOKING WIDGETS. Copy the short code from there and paste it where you want to display the widget.

3.1 Booking Box, Booking Strip, Availability Calendar

Generate the widget in (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > BOOKING WIDGETS

If you want to allow guests to search by certain criteria:

  • first create the search criteria in (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > MULTI BOOKING PAGE > SEARCH CRITERIA then go to (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > MULTI BOOKING PAGE >PROPERTY SETTINGS and assign the applicable criteria to each property
  • Once you have set and assigned your search criteria you can go to (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > BOOKING WIDGETS. Set PROPERTY = ALL and design your widget, ensuring that you change "Search Filter" to show the search criteria in your booking widget.
  • Generate the code for the widget and paste it into the source code (Set the Wordpress editor to "Text") where you want to display the widget.

3.2 Booking Button, Booking Link

Booking Button, Booking Link are inserted via these short codes:

  • Booking button: [beds24-button]
  • Booking link: [beds24-link]

Paste it where you want to display the widget on your Wordpress page.

For customization options for the buttons and links see the "Booking Widgets" section in SETTINGS > Beds24 in Wordpress.

Open your Wordpress dashboard and go to SETTINGS->BEDS24 then click on "Edit"

Search for this file in the right navigation: beds24-online-booking/theme-files/beds24-box.php

Click on on the link to edit:

  • To change the default number of guests search for:

if (!isset($_REQUEST['numadult'])) $_REQUEST['numadult'] = 2; and change 1 to your default number of guests e.g. if (!isset($_REQUEST['numadult'])) $_REQUEST['numadult'] = 1; Then click "Update File"

  • To change the default number of nights search for:

if (!isset($_REQUEST['numnight'])) $_REQUEST['numnight'] = 1;and change 1 to your default min number of nights e.g. if (!isset($_REQUEST['numnight'])) $_REQUEST['numnight'] = 3; Then click "Update File"

  • To change the maximum number of guests of search for

<?php for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++) change 12 to your max number of guests e.g. <?php for ($i=1; $i<=4; $i++) Then click "Update File"
