I love learning from these trainings. Thank you. I was asked to do some websites for a few people. But the question I have is, should I be doing the websites under my own hosting/Wordpress account. Or should I have them set up their own account, then I use their log-in credentials to work on their website? What are the best practices for starting a business like this? Do you recommend a business where I manage their hosting under my Hostinger account and they pay me monthly for hosting? What are your views on this? I have the chance to kinda jumpstart a web design business with a young insurance team that needs websites, and I’m unsure how to approach this opportunity. I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank You 🙏🏾
hey , here is a full tutorial Top 10 Best Booking Plugins for WordPress (Appointment, Hotels, and Rentals) 👇 th-cam.com/video/Hts1vf89nac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JtPoi3-n3fb8r_8g
Thank you for great tutorial with great plugin in the market. Can you please suggest the best plugin combination for tour operator website where main products are tours (destinations)? It will be great to see a tutorial (with the best plugin in the market) on the topic. Thank you
Hey! Thanks for your support! For a tour operator website, I recommend using WP Travel Engine or Tour Operator Pro for managing tours, along with WooCommerce for payments. Pair this with WPForms or Bookly for bookings. A tutorial on this would be great to dive into, so stay tuned! Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.
Hey ! Yes, with the Bookly plugin, you can set up bookings on a monthly basis (30 days) by configuring the service duration and availability settings to accommodate longer booking periods.
I have a video that’s coming in about two weeks called best classified ads theme. The theme you might want to look into is listeo theme. It’s a directories listing website that offers a booking integration for all vendors
Hey! You can add extra services or equipment in Bookly by using the “Add-ons” feature. Go to Bookly > Services and add custom fields or extras that clients can select during booking. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below!
I would like to run a mobile car was booking site where I go to the customers for a service. When clients are making a booking are they able to add their home or work address where the service/car wash will be done?
Hey! Yes, with the Bookly plugin, clients can add their address during the booking process. Just enable the “Address” field under the booking form settings so clients can specify where the car wash service will take place. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below!
Hey, when I edit with Elementor I don;t seem to have quite a lot of options. They are only with the paid plan...for example I can't edit the header and menu to change the logo of the themes. What am I doing wrong?
Hey! With Elementor’s free version, some options like header and menu editing aren’t available-you’ll need Elementor Pro to fully customize those areas. Alternatively, if your theme supports it, you can try Appearance > Customize to change the logo and header settings without Elementor Pro. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below!
Hello, I do have a question about setting up email notifications. Specifically, with WPMail SMTP. If I used a different web hosting site, how different would that set up be for the email notifications. Because I used bluehost and the emails don't seem to be sending. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, I hope you can help. Thanks!
hey , Setting up WPMail SMTP should be similar across different web hosts. Ensure you've correctly configured your SMTP settings. For Bluehost, check that you’re using the right SMTP server, port, and authentication details. If emails still aren't sending, try contacting Bluehost support for assistance.
@@darrelwilson Do the emails send if I set everything to pending for approval for emails? Because that could be the issue. I went to the pending appointments tab and once I approved the appointment, the emails all sent.

@@darrelwilson Thanks, great tutorial. At 1:52:53, I got the google calendar to connect, which is great, but it would be great to have the link to the Bookly form they filled out in the calendar so when the appointment rolls around, I don't have to go looking in my e-mail for their form.
how would one go about using Bookly to create a booking system for multiple companies i.e. a directory as I cant see an option to add more than one business?
Hey! Webflow is a great tool, but I believe WordPress is better for its flexibility, extensive plugin ecosystem, and ease of use. It’s a solid choice for both beginners and advanced users.
Yes, Bookly offers flexible service duration options that allow customers to choose their preferred duration. You can set up services with variable durations, allowing customers to select the duration that best fits their needs when booking appointments. This provides more flexibility and customization for both you and your customers.
Hey! Yes, it’s possible to remove the payment section in the Bookly plugin by disabling the payment options in the settings, allowing customers to book without payment. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.
Hello. The regular license is sufficient for your needs. The extended license is intended for scenarios where the end product, such as a membership model, involves charging users for access to Bookly plugin.
hey guys, i have a issue, the moment i import any of the templates the WP menu from Wordpress side bar disappears, i can not add or adjust the menu, any help?
Hey! If your WP menu disappears after importing templates, try these steps: 1. Check for plugin conflicts by deactivating other plugins temporarily. 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies. 3. Reinstall the Bookly plugin and the template you imported. If the issue persists, contact Bookly support for further assistance.
@darrelwilson it turned out that if I download any plugin that has to do with the menu, the menu will appear, and then I can delete the plugin, and the menu will work normally.
hey, You can find free Stripe plugins in the WordPress plugin repository. Just search for "Stripe" in the Plugins section of your WordPress dashboard, and you'll find various options to choose from.
my bookly app pops up on website but you cannot select any services or anyhting it just shows the booking aplication but you cant make any selections .. and i added the services on the back end already
Hey! Make sure you've correctly configured the services and settings in the Bookly backend. If the issue persists, contact Bookly support for assistance. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments.
Guys please I need help, i want to know if it is possible to use bookly for a hotel website where clients can book for several days. This is because the challenge I am facing now is that i can only 1 day per client
@@darrelwilson Thank you very much. Please is it possible to book appointment for multiple days within one booking (I am trying this out for my mini airbnb project). So far from the video, the default setting only allows me to select one day for booking at a time.
Hey! Thanks for your feedback. I understand your concerns about Bookly’s Pro license model. It’s always a good idea to reach out to their support or suggest changes directly to them. Your input could help improve their pricing structure. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments!
I was working on Bookly Plugin. I did the initial setup and then checked it by applying the form on a new page and everything worked perfect. Then I went for adding proper categories and different services offered by my company. I added 2 categories and 3 services. Then I went again on my form page to check out how it shows up. But there was no category and service showing up. Is it because I am working on local hosting or is there any other problem???
Hello. Please make sure you assigned at least 1 staff member to the service, set the service visibility to public and placed your services into categories.

Hey! It sounds like the LiteSpeed Cache is interfering with the Bookly app. To fix this, try adding the pages with Bookly shortcodes to the cache exceptions in LiteSpeed Cache settings. Also, make sure to exclude Bookly’s JavaScript files from minification. This should help your services appear and be selectable. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below!
