Simple. Booked.** Simple appointment booking for your WordPress site. Let clients book time with you in a few clicks. #### Features * Booking page with a simple three-step flow: meeting type, date and time, details * Meeting types with their own duration, description and location * Weekly availability — only truly free time slots are shown * No account needed for your clients, no third-party service * Dashboard calendar with month and week views; confirm, cancel and reschedule in one click * Email notifications with a calendar invite (.ics) attached * Automatic email reminders before each meeting * Editable email templates with placeholders * Two looks: a Bookira card in your own colours, or a plain layout that matches your theme * Add it your way: a block for the block editor (Gutenberg), a widget for Elementor, or a shortcode * Show every meeting type on one page, or a page per meeting type #### Getting started 1. Create a meeting type under **Bookira Meeting Types**. 2. Check your weekly hours under **Bookira Availability** (Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 by default). 3. Add the **Bookira Booking** block to any page. Using Elementor? Drag in the **Bookira Booking** widget. You can also use the `[bookira_booking]` shortcode. ## Screenshots [⌊Step 1: clients pick a meeting type.

Upload the `bookira` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin from the Plugins screen. 2. Activate Bookira. 3. Follow the three steps under _Getting started_ above. ## FAQ ### Do my clients need an account? No. They enter their name and email and receive a confirmation by email. ### Can I change how the booking page looks? Yes. Under **Bookira Settings Booking page appearance** choose the Bookira card( one step at a time, in the two colours you pick, on a background that follows your theme) or a plain layout that inherits your theme’s colours. Both use your theme’s fonts. You can also set it per page: `[bookira_booking style="theme"]`. ### Does it work with Elementor and other page builders? Yes. Elementor has a **Bookira Booking** widget with the same options as the block. In any other builder, add the `[bookira_booking]` shortcode with its shortcode or text element. ### Can I show only one meeting type? Yes. Choose it in the block or Elementor widget settings, or use `[bookira_booking type="intro-call"]` with the meeting type’s slug or ID. You can put several booking pages on one page, one per meeting type. ### Can I change the booking page title? Yes, in the block or widget settings, or in the shortcode: `[bookira_booking title ="Book a call" subtitle="Pick a time that suits you."]`. Turn off “Show title and intro” (or use an empty value in the shortcode) to hide them. ### Reminders arrive late. Why? Reminders use WP-Cron, which runs only when your site gets visits. On low-traffic sites, set up a real system cron job that calls `wp-cron.php`. ### What happens to my data if I delete the plugin? Your bookings are kept unless you enable **Bookira Settings Data Uninstall** before deleting the plugin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Bookira – Appointment Booking & Scheduling” is open source software.
