Installing Appointzilla
Appointment Calendar is simple to install just like any other wordpress plugin.
1) Download the Appointment Calendar from wordpress repository.
2) Unzip the archive and upload the content to ‘wp-content/plugins’ directory
3) Activate the plugin from admin panel and use the shortcode APCAL
Using Appointzilla-Lite
1) Adding Service
Before we can use the plugin we need to create a service for taking appointments for. It can be edited via the Services Menu. The plugin comes with a default service which can be easily edited.
2) Adding Calendar to Blog Post / Page:
The calendar can be added to any post or a page using the shortcode . It will embed a fully functional calendar with a booking form on the page. Once the calendar is added to a page you can start taking appointments on your wordpress site. Use the ShortCode
3) Create and Manage Appointments
Admin can create and manage appointments through the admin panel. Admin can Create, Cancel, Delete and Reschedule the appointments.
4) Create Time-Off
Admin can add Time-Off like Lunch , Meetings, Holidays etc. Time Off can be Daily, Weekly or One-Off
5) Appointment Notification
Appointzilla will send a appointment notification to Admin on booking. The notification settings can be customized as per requirement.
having issues getting double calendars displaying twice on the page when using the short code.
There still seems to be some sort of jquery conflict with your plugin. Whenever I add the APCAL tag to my pages, I lose the slide show in my headers ??
Thanks.
When someone tries to make an appointment it says all the appointment times are taken, and they aren’t. What do I need to do?
Hi, your plugin is promising, but still my clients are french speaking: is there is a way to ‘translate’ or somethingld to make it french?
Thanks!
Hi Fabien,
We are going to launch new version of Appointment Calendar with multilingual feature within a week.
So, after this you could translate plugin in any of language.
Thanks

Hi Frank!
Is it possible for the calendar to be displayed in Swedish? I have read many of your posts about this topic, but none of them works. I’m waiting for your help!
Thank you!

Whenever I minimize the chat window, my webpage reloads and pops the chat window back up. How can I set this up so the chat window is minimized when you land on a page?
Never mind… I think I just answered my own question…
I have a call-to-action button in my sidebar to direct users to the Appointments page. When they arrive, I don’t want them to see another button. Can the ‘Schedule New Appointment’ button be hidden so they see the calendar immediately?
How do I edit the confirmation emails? There are typos, which looks unprofessional.
The app is not showing correctly on my site. It is located on the “Contact” page. It loaded fine about a week ago but has been showing up weird the past 3 days
HI Geren,
Can you post the query on the support forum. Here is the link : http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/appointment-calendar
One of our developers will answer your query there.
Thanks,

Can I a set a filter in the services to change the prices if the appointment booked is in a weekend day?
HI, Unfortunately as of now this feature is not available.. but it is a nice suggestion and if more users demand it then we can include it in future versions…

hi great plugin is there any way to add sagepay direct payment gateway support paypal doesn’t support AED currency
Two problems:
1) Using a template created in Artisteer, the modal popup appears below them menu tabs – even with z-index set higher than any other setting.
2) When I link to a PAGE with the [APCAL] shortcode, all I get is the Schedule button and no calendar and the schedule button doesn’t work.
Any ideas?
How do i put the calender on the sidebar?
I just purchased your plugin but I can’t seem to figure out how to sort the services so they show up correctly in the booking drop down. I have 3 services – massage 30 min, massage 60 min, massage 90 min, but they show up out of order and randomly. This is really important and we should be able to do this. I posted in your support forum, hoping for a solution for the 99 bucks. Thanks man! 🙂

What is the staff limit of Appointzilla Lite?
Great plugin! I’m using the free version on my site, but would very much like to remove the time/price from the services dropdown.
Can this be done?
Thanks,

Yes.. it requires a small tweak in code.. Let me know if you are comfortable with PHP and HTML.. we will then send instructions

I have the calendar but want to change the price to (£) pounds instead of dollars. Where do I change this?
Do we have to have admin approval? I would like for the appointments to be automatic and not have to approve.
Hi, fellas. What is the shortcode?? It doesn’t appear under your #2 instruction.
Nvm. I found the shortcode [APCAL] with some google digging. But you might want to add that to your #2 instructions above, lol. Thanks for a great plugin!
Thanks for pointing it out. Made the changes.
Good evening, I’m just using the Pro version and It is very good for me. I was wondering if is it possible to book an appointment from the “manage client” section or something like that, such that It could be possible not to repeat name and email every time. Or as an alternative, Is it possible to make optional the email of the client?
Thank you!
