Minimum Requirements: WordPress v5.0 & PHP v5.6

Connecting Easy!Appointments with WordPress

Include Booking in your Pages

WordPress supports the use of custom shortcodes which allows plugins to insert custom content into pages. This plugin takes advantage of this functionality and creates an iframe that displays the booking form of Easy!Appointments. Include the [easyappointments] shortcode in the correct place of your published contents as shown in the following example.

[easyappointments width="100%" height="500px" style="border: 5px solid #1A865F; box-shadow: #454545 1px 1px 5px;"]

The “width”, “height” and “style” attributes are optional but can help you to fine tune the styling of the iframe.

Additionally, you can use the “provider” and “service” shortcode attributes to preselect a provider or a service or both on a certain page (e.g. [easyappointments provider="2" service="1"], where “2” and “1” are the record IDs, they can be fetched from the Easy!Appointments backend section, in the users and services page accordingly by clicking the dedicated link of a record).

I originally reviewed this at 1-star because it was totally non-functional. I determined the problem was an older PHP version active on website. After updating PHP to version 7.1 calendar was functional. That was my mistake, as I over-looked the error message on screen. Updated Review: Calendar is great IF there are no modifications to either service price, services offered, or time/date worker is available. If any object changes, the database automatically reverts to its original configuration and new data is replaced with older data. The only way to use the new data, is to delete the connection, for that worker (depending on change, you may need to delete all workers), delete the old information you want to update, create new data and new connection. This is a database managing nightmare and too time-consuming to be user friendly. If I want to change a workers time or day of week, I should not have to delete the entire connection to start it from scratch. If I want to change the price for all workers, I should not have to delete all worker connections to rebuild database. It should automatically update to the new information, not revert to old data. Without these database connectivity problems, I would have rated it at least 4-stars. Because these problems are severe enough, I am unable to effectively use this plug-in and rating it at 2-stars.

Great plugin!

Great plugin! Free! Contains multiple languages. I strongly recommend! Version 4.9.3 works great.

Extremely useful and pretty easy to customize ( with a bit of php ). Too bad it’s being abandoned. Was beyond everything i tried in the store. Still working good with my current version of WP ( 4.9.1 ) so heartily recommending it.

Very usefull, works stable
