In reply to: [Robina] Front end calendar@lauraiklmn Good news — the thing you asked about is now a real screen, and it went out in version 1.4.0.
In your WordPress admin: Robina → Notifications (in the Robina menu, just above Settings).
You’ll find the six emails Robina sends, listed on the left:
- Booking confirmed — to the customer
- Booking awaiting confirmation — to the customer
- Reminder before the booking — to the customer
- Booking cancelled — to the customer
- New booking — to you
- Booking cancelled — to you
Pick one and you can change its subject and its message in a normal editor (bold, lists, links), or switch that email off entirely with the checkbox at the top.
Under the message there is a row of placeholders — {customer_first_name}, {service_name}, {booking_when}, {cancel_url} and others. Click one and it drops in wherever your cursor is; Robina swaps it for the real value when the email goes out.
On the right you see a live preview of the finished email, and at the bottom there’s Send test email, so you can put it in your own inbox before a customer sees it. If you change your mind, Reset to the original wording brings the default text back for that one email.
One heads-up, because I pointed you at Loco Translate last time. The email texts have moved out of the translation files and into this editor, so most of what you may have translated there will not carry over. After updating, please open Robina → Notifications and check the wording.
The good news is you no longer need Loco for the emails at all: what you type in the editor is what gets sent, in any language.
Two more things in the same release: the emails now actually look like something — your business name and your button colour in the header, the booking laid out as a card, and a proper button for the cancellation link. Every message also carries a plain-text copy for mail apps that don’t show HTML.
And the booking email that used to say “Your booking is pending.” now has its own, more natural wording.

In reply to: [Robina] Front end calendarHi @lauraiklmn ! Version 1.3.4 has been released, and this issue is now fixed. About the email editing: we’re currently working on adding a proper email editor directly in Robina settings.
For now, you can still change the email text using the free Loco Translate plugin:
- Install and activate Loco Translate.
- Go to Loco Translate → Plugins → Robina.
- Open the language you want to edit, or create one if needed.
- Search for the email text, for example:
- “Your booking at %s”
- “Hi %1$s, Your booking is %4$s. Service: %2$s When: %3$s Thank you!”
- Edit the wording and save the translation.
The important thing is to keep placeholders like %s, %1$s, %2$s, etc. They are used to insert the customer name, service, date/time and booking status automatically.
You can also edit the cancellation and reminder email texts there in the same way.

In reply to: [Robina] Front end calendarHi @lauraiklmn,
Thanks again for reporting these, and I am glad the calendar is working well for you. Both issues are fixed in 1.3.2, and 1.3.3 is out now too, so please update straight to that one.
Phone prefix. The field now starts on your own country automatically, based on your site language. And the country list now opens properly on mobile, so customers from other countries can still change it themselves.
Translation. All the buttons and labels of the booking form and the timetable are now visible to Loco Translate, so you can put the whole form into your language:
Update to 1.3.3.
Open Loco Translate -> Plugins -> Robina, select your language and press Sync (or add the language first if you have not created it yet).
You will see the form strings appear as new entries, ready for you to translate whenever it suits you.
The month and weekday names in the calendar need no translation at all, they follow your site language on their own.One small note in case your site is multilingual: on a translated page the dial code would follow that page’s language, so there is now a Phone country field in Robina -> Settings where you can fix it to your own country.

In reply to: [Robina] Front end calendarHi @lauraiklmn ,
This is live now — the public class schedule shipped in 1.2.0, and the two releases since then rounded it out for exactly the kind of studio you described. Thank you for asking for it; it moved straight to the top of the list.
Setting it up
- Update Robina to 1.3.1.
- Open each class under Robina → Catalog. Add its weekly times in the Class schedule section (e.g. Mon 18:00, Wed 09:30), and set Capacity to the number of mats you have. A photo, a colour and an instructor are optional, but the timetable shows all three, so it looks much better with them.
- Put
[robina_schedule]on the page where you want the timetable.
Visitors get the upcoming classes grouped by day — time, price, instructor and how many places are left — with an Agenda ⇄ Month switch. Clicking a class opens a card with the photo, description and spots left, and its button carries them into the booking form with the class, date and time already filled in.
Useful variations:
[robina_schedule view="month"]opens on the calendar grid,days="28"changes how far ahead the list looks (default 14, max 42), andlocation="12"limits it to one studio.Three things added since, that a studio tends to need
- Days off — in the service editor you can mark single dates a class does not run (a holiday, an ill instructor, a summer break). The weekly schedule stays as it is; that date just disappears from the timetable and can’t be booked.
- Self-cancellation — every confirmation email now carries a personal cancel link, so someone who can’t come frees their mat themselves and it goes straight back into the timetable. You can require it to be done, say, 12 hours ahead, or switch it off.
- Reminder emails — an optional “your class is tomorrow” email, which is usually the cheapest way to cut no-shows.
All of it is in Robina → Settings, and the dashboard now has a short quick-start panel if anything is unclear.
If something doesn’t fit how your studio actually works, tell me here — a week view and filtering by instructor are the next things I’m considering, and it helps to hear which matters more.

In reply to: [Robina] Front end calendarHi @lauraiklmn — thanks for trying Robina, and for the great suggestion!
You’re right: there’s no front-end schedule/calendar view yet — on the front end
Robina currently only has the booking form ([robina_booking_form] / the popup
[robina_booking_button]). The calendar view exists only in the wp-admin.It’s a perfect fit for a yoga studio, though, so we’ll work on adding a public
schedule view in the next few days. Stay tuned for an update — I’ll post here when
it’s ready. Thanks again! 🏹Updating php helped, everything works. But now the Credit Card Info field is not displayed. If I slow down the load speed, I see that they disappear
Hi Rick,
Now I want to update the php version. So far , nothing has helped , Health Check suggests updating php
