Biggest opportunity: Swap “booking calendar”, “cf7” and “contact form 7” for “datepicker”, “holiday rental” and “clinic management”. “booking calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “datepicker” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cf7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “holiday rental” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clinic management” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 4K of 18.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.

Tons of typos in the code; stylee, scritps, scrpts, folder named “assents” instead of “assets”, etc.Copy pasted code from a google maps plugin, forgot to change the description.Talks about loading a whatsapp box in descriptions.Reason I looked into it this is the min_date and max_date values didn’t process dates correctly. A quick cursor run through fixed it for me:Issue at line 15 in assents/js/script.js: the date string is split but not converted to numbers before creating the Date. Converting the components to integers: configdat.minDate = new Date(parseInt(date_min_val_arr[0]), parseInt(date_min_val_arr[1])-1, parseInt(date_min_val_arr[2])); Issue: date components are strings after splitting, causing incorrect Date construction. Converting them to integers with parseInt() before creating the Date. Fixing both minDate and maxDate parsing: configdat.maxDate = new Date(parseInt(date_max_val_arr[0]), parseInt(date_max_val_arr[1])-1, parseInt(date_max_val_arr[2])); Fixed the date parsing issue. The problem was that after splitting “2026-01-04” by -, the values were strings, and JavaScript’s Date constructor can misparse them.Posting this in case anyone else runs into this plugin, it’s buggy.

I had this plugin running on one of my sites for a year. It works great, so I installed it on a fresh site today. Exact same version number, but it seems you made a sneaky update without creating a new version, but turning free features into premium. I know for sure, because I migrated the ‘same version’ from my current site to the new one and all functions are there. This is just misleading and not according to WordPress standards. Very naughty and bad.

Perfect, does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Contacting support also went without any problems. Response within 24 hours. Further developments possible for a small additional charge for the Pro version. I would love to come back here.

Great and useful plugin, fast answer from the creator when I had doubts.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dranzarthahir2.9y ago
Very much useful and user-friendly. The plugin is amazing.Only one problem I face while using this plug in is the width of the text/date input area. It takes maximum width of the form. The developer could have adjusted the width of the input area only to the required width or could have given option to select width of the input area.I don’t know is there any way to re-adjust the width

You just got a five star review from me. I installed the plugin and wham! It works right out of the box. I had been having trouble with a different date picker for CF7, where the calendar would not invoke and some devices. Your date picker works across all devices I’ve tested it on. I also like how I can customize it with CSS.
