Successfully setting up and managing bookings through WP Booking System is far easier when you know where to go for information. Two essential documentation hubs—Bookings and Calendar—offer clear, step-by-step guidance to help you navigate the plugin with confidence.

1. Bookings Documentation — Comprehensive Booking Management

The Bookings documentation (under the “Bookings” category) is your go-to resource for all things related to managing bookings tied to your calendars.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• Accessing the Booking Manager: Learn how to view all bookings by going to WP Booking System → Calendars and opening a specific calendar, where the Booking Manager resides at the top of the page.
• Booking Modal Functions: Clicking on a booking opens a modal that lets you:
  • Manage booking statuses (e.g., accept or delete)
  • View booking details like Booking ID, associated calendar, and dates
  • Email the customer and check email logs (if the booking form includes an email field)
• Exporting & Adding Bookings: You can export all bookings as a CSV file or manually add bookings using the interface for full control.

Why it helps: This documentation equips you with a clear view of your booking workflow—from reviewing incoming requests to managing customer communication and internal records.
