Do I just put the curly bracket on a page or do I have to use wp do_shortcode()?
It's enough just to add the code with curly brackets, there's no need to use do_shortcode(). Please take into account that these codes are not global, usually, you can see the in explanation of a setting or an option which codes are available for use.
Hello,
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but is there any shortcode we can use to create a landing page for a client after he cancels an appointment?
Because in my website, he just lands in the initial page (there's no mention to the cancellation being correctly accepted by the system - which does happen).
Thanks in advance
Hi Bruno, you need this setting: Set the URL of a page that is shown to clients after they successfully cancelled their appointment.
Thank you so much Denis, exactly what i was looking for!
During the appointment process, on the screen where personal information is filled in, there is a box called Notes (I think, in Dutch it is: Notities). Where does this information go? I would expect a shortcode like {appointment_note} or something like that.
Never mind, I found it: {custom_fields}
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to include the shortcode {service_info} in the service tab such that when a service is selected the description of the service is displayed
Thank you
Hi Jared, you can use the {service_info} code, but not for the first step of the booking form, you can add it for later steps.
Is there a way to show the calendar on the website to show available times?
Hi, the back-end calendar can't be displayed on the front-end, at the moment.
not looking for the backend calendar just to show a calendar that shows available times on the frontend of the website.
Currently, customers can be see the availability of service and staff members, only when they book an appointment in the booking form. There isn't a separate calendar that just displays the availability.
We have updated Bookly with latest version 4.9 and after updating the plugin old features are gone. Bookly Service Capacity and Custom fields are no longer exists. Why?
Hi, please send us email to support@ladela.com with this inquiry and your purchase code so we could look into this matter.
Hi Support Team,
You are doing a brilliant job with Bookly and I am happy to recommend your product to my customers in short.
For most of them it is important to manage their appointments via google calendar. Therefor I have 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to have {approve_appointment_url} in the google calendar entry as well, to give stuff the opportunity to approve new appointments from their smartphone?
2. If so - is it possible to limit the access to {approve_appointment_url} by stuff login? Because it is important that only stuff member/s who has been booked are able to approve their appointments. (I am not a specialist in GDPR but it could be a requirement here too.)
I hope you are able to help. Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Andre

Is there a shortcode to display the Staff Member Rating? I need this in order to create a public staff member profile.
Also, do these shortcodes work in the regular Wordpress composer?
