 * Hi,
 * While setting up an appointment duration time is required and seen by users during
   appointment front end menu under appointment type name. I would like to hide 
   this duration time such as ”15 minutes”..
 * I can set duration time for each type but no need to be shown for users will 
   do an appointment.
 * Regards

 * Hello there!
 * Is there any specific reason for why the appointment duration needs to be removed?
 * The reason we ask is because the solution would require CSS. If there’s a way
   to help get you a solution through the Settings in the plugin we’d like to give
   that a try first 🙂
 * Also feel free to send us a direct message through our email [support@simplyscheduleappointments.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/appoinment-type-duration/support@simplyscheduleappointments.com?output_format=md)

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for fast reply,
 * The reason is removing times; not to be rude if I finish the session before the
   giving specific time, let’s say somebody took an appointment for 15 mins and 
   I finished conversation within 5 mins. As general I can set it as 15 mins because
   I know it will be enough but users does not have to know exactly how much time
   I reserve for them.
 * For some services, it might be misunderstanding giving a time of period for users.
 * Thank you again,
 * Regards

 * Would you consider setting the appointment duration for 5 minutes and adding 
   a 10 minute buffer after?
 * This way your calendar is still blocked off for 15 minutes but the customer sees
   this as a 5 minute call.
 * If this doesn’t work for you we could look into some custom CSS.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the option but I didn’t mention it. If users see 5 mins there they
   may think it will be not enough and I am strict about timing.
 * =) everything is for customer satisfaction.
 * In some cases I can’t give them specific time period, It might be rude for people.
   Let’s say welcome meetings . I will put an option there for welcome meeting and
   shows 5 mins.. Does not sound good..
 * While doing appointments and receiving notifications;
    Appointment start time
   is ok, but ”appointment end time” and ”appoinment period time” should be an option.
 * It was a suggestion from my side, I guess many users of your plugin will be happy
   about that option.
 * And please update about CSS solution.
 * Thank you again for supporting very fast.
