My team and I are thrilled that GP Bookings V1.0 has been released. I also read your latest comments on the plugin—awesome news!
Our team definitely looks forward to using your plugin, but there is still one major deal-breaker for us that hasn’t been resolved: styling options for the frontend booking calendar.
Currently, we use the styling noted below (via another plugin). Without doing a deep dive into your plugin’s CSS selectors, replicating this look is tough. This concern extends beyond the main calendar to the follow-on panels that appear after selecting a date and time. Additionally, the plugin code doesn’t seem to adapt well to Gravity Forms with dark backgrounds. While technical options are helpful for developers, they aren’t practical for everyday website administrators.
Bottom line: I would love to see a user-friendly styling section added to your plugin, similar to what most other booking plugins offer.
Your points are super valid. We have plans for improving the frontend booking calendar styling, but it will take considerable work and time to be implemented in core.
However, if that is the only deal-breaker left for your team to start using GP Bookings, we will gladly get a custom bridge going to make this feature available for you. Send us an owl if so!
As always, appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Thanks for that! Since we’re already set up with another booking plugin, we’re in no rush to purchase GP Bookings.
However, if you can provide us with a test copy of GP Bookings, we can test it in detail using your custom bridge (e.g., add-on file, code snippet, custom CSS rules). After testing (with solution identified), we will delete the plugin.
If the above is not doable, simply let us know once you’ve addressed our styling concern in your next, convenient plugin update.
