How to Adjust the Number of Months Shown in the Booking Calendar

TThe setting is called Maximum Month Number (per booking). It controls how many months are displayed/generated in the theme calendar views used for availability, listing calendar management, and the All-In-One Calendar.

Important: This setting does not block future bookings by itself. It only controls how many months are shown/generated in the calendar areas. To block specific dates, use manual booked periods or iCal feeds.

Important: Increasing the number of months can increase the amount of calendar, availability, and custom price data saved for each listing. Use this option carefully, especially on websites with many listings.

Where to Change the Number of Calendar Months

To change the number of months displayed in the calendar, go to:

Theme Options > Booking Configuration > Calendar Settings

Find the option:

Maximum Month Number (per booking)

Depending on your WPRentals version, this setting may also appear under:

Theme Options > Booking Settings > Maximum Month Number (per booking)

After changing the value, save Theme Options and check the calendar areas on the front end.

What This Setting Does

The Maximum Month Number (per booking) option controls how many months are displayed/generated in the WPRentals calendar views.

For example, if the value is set to 12, the calendar areas can show up to 12 months.

This is useful if owners or site admins need to manage availability, manual booked periods, or custom prices for a longer period ahead.

Important: This setting does not set the minimum or maximum booking length. Minimum booking rules are managed from the listing price settings and custom period settings.

Where This Setting Applies

The setting applies to the WPRentals calendar areas, including:

Availability Calendar on the single listing page
Edit Listing Calendar in the front-end User Dashboard
All-In-One Calendar in the front-end User Dashboard

Important: Owners and site admins manage listing calendars from the front-end User Dashboard. Wp-admin is used for global configuration, such as changing this setting in Theme Options.

Availability Calendar on the Listing Page

The Availability Calendar on the single listing page shows visitors which dates are available or unavailable for that listing.

The number of months shown in this calendar is affected by the Maximum Month Number (per booking) setting.

Edit Listing Calendar in the User Dashboard

The Edit Listing Calendar is managed from the front-end dashboard.

Owners and site admins use this area to manage availability for one listing.

Go to:

User Dashboard > My Listings > Edit Listing > Calendar

From this section, the user managing the listing can:

block dates manually
add or review unavailable dates
manage custom price periods
manage iCal import/export feeds

All-In-One Calendar in the User Dashboard

The All-In-One Calendar is also part of the front-end User Dashboard.

It shows the listings connected to the logged-in owner or site admin and their booked/unavailable dates.

Go to:

User Dashboard > All-In-One Calendar

This calendar is useful when the owner or site admin manages several listings and wants to review or block availability from one screen.

Performance and Database Note

The number of months displayed in the calendar should be set based on what your website actually needs.

A higher number of months can increase the amount of data saved for each listing, especially when owners or site admins use:

custom prices for many future periods
availability changes across many months
manual booked periods across many months
many listings on the website

Important: Do not set a very high number only because it is possible. More months can mean more calendar data stored for each listing and more data to load in calendar views. Use the lowest value that matches your business needs.
