 * I had originally placed the shortcode in the ‘Custom HTML’ widget. I instead 
   placed it in the ‘Text’ widget and it worked. My theme support team suggested
   it may be related to recent changes in how WordPress handles widgets and Blocks(
   I disable Gutenburg and do not use Blocks). Because it was working until recently
   this seems to make sense but why specifically I do not know.

 * Hi
 * Yes. This page has a different CF7 contact form on: [https://sandyhillarts.co.uk/volunteering-sandy-hill-arts/](https://sandyhillarts.co.uk/volunteering-sandy-hill-arts/)
   As you can see it renders fine and it seems to submit without issue too (Success
   message received at least). One thing I have noticed with this though is that
   the shortcode entered on the page ([contact-form-7 id=”1523″ title=”Volunteer
   Enquiry form”]) differs to the actual shortcode showing in the CF7 panel ([contact-
   form-7 id=”4a0bb78″ title=”Volunteer at SHA – Enquiry Form”]). I think the former
   is the original shortcode before they changed (see my original message). It still
   appears to render even though the id references are different.
   I have placed 
   the same shortcode as used in the footer on a page ([https://sandyhillarts.co.uk/form-test/](https://sandyhillarts.co.uk/form-test/))
   and it renders fine. So it seems that the issue may be confined to the shortcode
   in the footer.RegardsPaul

 * Hi Aswin
   I’m sorry but I’m not very knowledgable about user roles so I’m unsure
   how to set this up. Can you please advise further or point me to the reference
   in your documentation? So far I have set up a test page with a URL. Then under
   the ‘Ultimate Member: Content Restriction’ panel I have checked ‘Restrict access
   to this post?’ and selected ‘Administrator’ and ‘Subscriber’. However, when I
   input the URL in Incognito (ie, logged out mode) the page opens as normal without
   asking me to login as a Subscriber.What am i missing?RegardsPaul

 * Hi Joe
    Thanks for replying and apologies for using the incorrect means of communication.
   Do you have a method whereby we can continue the discussion? I have set up a 
   rudimentary page on a test site to show the sort of thing I’m trying to achieve:
   [https://candyapplegrey.co.uk/course/have-a-go-stone-carving-course](https://candyapplegrey.co.uk/course/have-a-go-stone-carving-course)
   The bottom of the page shows how I would ideally like the calendar and booking
   options to appear. I’m presuming I can display the relevant items using shortcodes.
   Regards Paul

 * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-get-a-refund-for-this-plugin/#post-13753921)
 * Hi
    Yes, I did eventually. Initially they tried to argue that I couldn’t have
   a refund because it was a license renewal. However, when I pointed out to them
   that my original license had expired and it was technically a new license, they
   agreed to refund me in full. In fact the only reason I renewed (rather than purchase
   a new licence) was on the advise of their support who stated that by renewing,
   my original data would be retained (in fact, it wasn’t and I had to input all
   my data again). I eventually went for the Maestrel HBook plugin which was a joy
   to use with excellent support.

 * Hi Takayuki
    Thanks for reaching out. My knowledge of coding is minimal and so
   unfortunately your solution makes no sense to me. I have no idea what file to
   edit nor how to edit it to achieve a solution. Are you able to be more specific?
   I’m sure my query cannot be unique but I’m just failing to find a definitive 
   solution any where. Regards Paul

 * You won’t be disappointed with HBook. You have infinitely more control over the
   style of the calendars and forms, the functionality is much more flexible and
   it was actually really easy to set up. Above all else, the support is really 
   prompt and helpful; so much more pleasant to deal with than Pinpoint. And you
   can actually see working demos on their website: [https://maestrel.com/hbook/](https://maestrel.com/hbook/).
   And to top it off, there’s only a single one-off charge per site for HBook rather
   than Pinpoint’s annual license renewal fee.

 * I agree. I’ve tried PinPoint twice (the second time to give it a second chance)
   but I wished I hadn’t bothered. The support for this product is appalling. They
   quote up to 48 hours but it often takes far longer; I currently have a support
   issue going back to 07/06/20 that has yet to receive a response (that’s a month
   ago). There is a reason that this plugin is sold ‘off-Envato’ and has no working
   demo on its own website; I’ll leave it up to you to work out why. If you want
   a decent booking plugin with excellent support go to Maestrel’s HBook plugin (
   I have no affiliation to them but it’s the plugin I now use instead of Pinpoint);
   they charge a one-off license purchase that is less than Pinpoint’s $95 annual
   fee.
