Appointment Booking Calendar

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I center the calendar into the page?

For centering the calendar open the CSS file "TDE_AppCalendar\all-css.css" in any text editor and add these CSS rules into that file:

.appContainer{text-align:center;}
.appContainer2{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:200px}

After that be sure to refresh the page or clear your browser cache to be sure that the browser is loading the updated CCS styles file.

I'm not receiving the emails with the appointment data.

Please check if after the payment completed at Paypal the appointment appears registered in the calendar (some time slot unavailable):

  • If yes, then the problem is that you server has some additional configuration requirements to send emails from PHP. The plugin uses the settings specified into the WordPress website to deliver the emails, if your hosting has some specific requirements like a fixed "from" address or a custom "SMTP" server those settings must be configured into the WordPress website.

  • If the purchase isn't registered, then there is a configuration in the payment preferences into your Paypal account that is preventing the IPN notification, for example check the setting shown in the following images:

    - Image #1 (click to open): Locate paypal payment preferences.

    - Image #2 (click to open): Related configuration option.

  • If you already verified both of the above points then check if the payment appears as "completed" at Paypal (no red flags, no pending mark). Check also if your Paypal account is setup to automatically accept payments in the selected currency.

How can I cancel/delete an appointment to make its time slot available again?

To delete an appointment locate it into the calendar in the settings area, clear the title (there is a button for that) and save it. This action will delete the appointment (even if the content wasn't cleared).

How can I change the calendar's width and height?

You can specify the size of the calendar's cells, that way the complete calendar width and height can be controlled.

Open the file "appointment-booking-calendar\TDE_AppCalendar\all-css.css" and about line #139 modify the "padding" applied to the cells:

.yui-calendar td.calcell {
    padding:.3em .4em;
    border:1px solid #E0E0E0;
    text-align:center;
    vertical-align: top;
}

Can I put an "acknowledgment / thank you message" after submitting an appointment?

The "acknowledgment / thank you message" shown to the user after submitting the form should be placed at the page indicated in the field "URL to return after successful payment". Note that after the submission the user is redirected to that page even if the Paypal feature isn't used.

How do I change the background color of the selected date?

Open the file "wp-content/plugins/appointment-booking-calendar/TDE_AppCalendar/all-css.css" ... find this css rule:

.yui-calendar td.calcell.reserveddate { background-color:#B6EA59; }

...and replace the background color that appears there.
