• Is there a way to have all day appointments?
    I can configure the plugin to only have one appt per day. However, this is very cumbersome to setup and there are two problems
    – the list of appointments has a specific time
    – when scheduling an appointment customers have to pick a specific time

    Both of the above are confusing to customer since there’s no fixed time for the appointment.

    Hey there jav2024,

    Hope you’re well today!

    Did you consider using weekly calendar instead of monthly? You can create a page with weekly calendar in Appointments -> Settings -> General -> Display Settings http://screencast.com/t/mUKkn9hR0bMu.

    The difference is weekly has working hours set inside days of the week so there is no additional popup for time selection. If you simply set “Time base (minutes)” in Appointments -> Settings -> General to match your working hours the calendar will be displayed like this http://screencast.com/t/nJVhlgmlH43.

    Please let me know if this helps 🙂

    Best regards,
    Bojan

    We tried that calendar. It does not have the popup menu on the side which is nice. I can also add CSS to hide the hours and even to hide the header and footer so that I can put multiple weeks on top of each other (playing with the margins to abut).

    However, it does not have the days of the week which is problematic.
    I think we’ll stick with that we have and hope that you will consider “all day” appointments as an enhancement for a future release.

    Hey again jav2024,

    Glad this solution will work for you for the time being.

    Additionally I’m not sure what you mean when you say it doesn’t have time of the week? If you check the screenshot in my previous post you’ll see that days of the week are being displayed above and below available time slots?

    Can you share link to your page where you’re using the calendar?

    Best regards,
    Bojan

    I mean that I want about 4 weeks worth of appointments and I would want them without the days of the week on top and on the bottom.

    I can use this plugin to add CSS to the WP pages
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    So, I can use that plugin to hide the hours (which just confuse people).
    I can also use that plugin to remove the days of the week

    Which just leaves 7 boxes – one for each of the days of the week.
    However, there’s no way to add a day of the month number inside of the boxes so this does not really help either.

    I don’t want to edit the plugin because then it’s a pain when there are updates.
    I can do changes without editing the plugin by using the CSS plugin.
    However, what I would really need is proper support for “all day” appointments (aka appointments without a specific time).

    If you would consider that for a future release that would be great.

    Hey again jav2024,

    I’ll definitely suggest something like this so it can be considered for future versions of the plugin.

    In the meantime you should be able to display multiple weeks using weekly calendar by using shortcodes.

    Simply adding add=”1″ to your [app_schedule] shortcode will display the following week, 2 will display week after that and so on. Please see screenshot of my setup http://screencast.com/t/1mM34csDItx. With this I have current and two weeks after displayed in my appointment page. You can play with CSS a bit to change the size of the dates and possibly remove “Click on a free time slot to apply for an appointment.” so they look better.

    You’ll find more info about the shortcodes by going to Appointments -> Shortcodes in your admin panel.

    Please let me know if this helps 🙂

    Best regards,
    Bojan
