If you want to allow guests to search by certain criteria:
*first create the search criteria in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > MULTI BOOKING PAGE > SEARCH CRITERIA then go to {{#fas:cog}} (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 {{#fas:cog}} (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.
== Developer Options ==
Developers or users with basic knowledge of HTML, PHP and CSS can change the plugin code to customise widgets.
