How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    With the latest versions of WordPress.When you copy the code from their site and paste it into the white box, you click save.The code is truncated. Part of it is missing.I asked where the code would be pasted (into which file) but received no response.The only solution is to take the code (both scripts), put the first script, and then the second script on a dedicated page.Then add links to this page.After selecting dates, it will redirect to their site, which works perfectly for the rest of the booking process.It’s not ideal if you want to place the widget in multiple locations, but at least it works.The support for the code is nonexistent; they don’t receive replies from the developers. Avec les dernières versions de wordpress.Lorsque vous copier le code sur leur site et le coller dans la case blanche. vous appuyez sur save.Le code est tronqué. Il manque une partie.J’ai demandé a savoir où allait se coller le code (dans quel fichier) pas de réponse.La seule solution est de prendre le code (les 2) mettre le script en premier ensuite le 2ème dans une page réservé à cela.Ensuite mettre des liens vers cette page.Après le choix des dates, Il dirigera ensuite vers leur site qui fonctionne très bien pour la suite des réservations.Ce n’est pas l’idéal quand vous voulez mettre le widget à plusieurs endroit mais au moins ça fonctionne.Le support pour la partie code est nul, ils ne reçoivent pas les réponses des développeurs.
