The reason for this limitation is that WpRentals supports multiple pricing structures (such as custom prices, weekend rates, and discounts). Updating dates after a booking is created would affect invoices, totals, and payment records — which could lead to inconsistencies and incorrect calculations in the system.

What to do instead

If a guest needs to change their stay dates:

• Cancel the original booking (as owner in owner dashboard – My Bookings).

• Create a new booking manually with the corrected dates. Help to add manual bookings https://help.wprentals.org/article/adddelete-booked-periods-as-owner/
• If any payment has already been made, you can manually note or adjust what was paid and what remains due. Payments are always possible to admin only and admin will see the invoices for bookings canceled by owner for any manual modifications.

• If a booking is already confirmed but needs to be canceled, the owner can cancel it. The booking will be deleted from both the owner’s and the user’s dashboards.
• Once an invoice is issued, it will appear in the Admin Dashboard. This helps the admin track any deposits that have been paid.

Tip

If you encounter this situation often, consider mentioning in your property policies that guests should contact the host directly for booking adjustments before making payment.

We understand this feature would be helpful, and our team is exploring ways to handle it safely in future updates. For now, this manual rebooking process ensures accurate invoices and prevents data issues.

WpRentals is translation-ready and allows you to change any default theme text (like buttons, labels, messages, etc.) to your preferred wording using translation tools like Loco Translate (in the WordPress dashboard) or Poedit (on your computer).

CONTENT

• LOCO TRANSLATE
• POEDIT
• Text Labels Managed from Theme Options

You can translate or rename any theme text using:

• Loco Translate plugin (from wp-admin dashboard)

• POEdit software (on your computer)

This also works if you’re changing English-to-English (e.g., “Zip” ➝ “Postcode”).

Check Your Site Language

Before using Loco Translate or Poedit, make sure your WordPress site is set to the correct language:

1. Go to Settings > General in your WordPress dashboard.

2. Find the Site Language option.

3. Select your preferred language (e.g., English (United States), French, Spanish, etc.).

4. Click Save Changes.

This setting ensures that WordPress loads the correct translation files for your theme.

Using Loco Translate (Recommended for most users)

Install and Activate Loco Translate

• Go to Plugins > Add New in your WordPress dashboard.

• Search for Loco Translate, install it, and activate the plugin.

Find the WpRentals Theme for Translation

What Text is Translated or Edited from Theme Options in WpRentals?

In WpRentals, not all property-related labels are handled through translation files. Several key elements must be edited or translated directly in the Theme Options panel, especially those related to listings.

Please check the sections below for guidance:

Property Details, Features, and Address Section Sections Titles

These labels are managed from the admin panel:

• Go to Admin > Theme Options > Listing Page > Listing Page Text Labels

• You can customize or translate the wording for section titles  (e.g., “Property Description”, “Property Price”)

Help link:
Listing Labels Documentation

 Property Features & Amenities

These are not translated via .po files. You must manually edit them:

• Go to Admin > Listings > Features and Amenities

• Here, you can add, remove, or rename features (e.g., “Air Conditioning”, “Swimming Pool”)

Help link:
List Features and Amenities

Custom Property Fields

Custom fields are also managed manually:

• Navigate to Admin > Theme Options > General > Listing Custom Fields

• You can define the label, type (text, dropdown, etc.), and values

• These fields are used to capture extra property info (e.g., “Year Built”, “Pet Policy”)

Help link:
Custom Property Fields

Some core fields are not editable via Theme Options and must be translated via Loco Translate or Poedit instead. These include:

• Address Fields

• Bedrooms

• Rooms

• Bathrooms

• Size

To change the wording of these, follow the steps in the Loco Translate guide.

Advanced Search

Taxonomy Pages

Taxonomy pages are automatically generated pages in WP Rentals that group properties by specific categories or terms. These taxonomies include:

Category – e.g., apartment, villa, house
City – the location of the property
Type – e.g., for rent, for sale
Area – specific neighborhoods or regions within a city
Status – e.g., new, featured, sold
Features & Amenities – e.g., pool, garage, garden

Each taxonomy page lists all properties assigned to that specific term.

For example, if you have a “Manhattan” area, its taxonomy page will automatically display all properties located in Manhattan.

This page is automatically created and help users quickly browse properties grouped by their desired criteria.

Check Subject exists in Email Management

• In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to WpRentals > Theme Options > Email Management.

• Make sure the Subject and Content fields are filled out for the emails you are testing.
• Test with specific actions that trigger emails (e.g., new user registration, password reset, etc.).

Check SPAM Folder

Emails can sometimes be marked as spam, depending on the email provider, the source of the email, and the sending server. To prevent this:

• Email Address:
  • The theme sends emails automatically from [email protected].
  • Ask your hosting provider to register [email protected] as a valid email address with proper access credentials (username and password).
  • Alternatively, change the noreply address to a valid email address you know exists (e.g., [email protected]).
• SPAM Filters:
  • This can help reduce the chances of emails being marked as spam. Ensure that the email sent from your website passes through your email provider’s spam filters.

Check Email Settings in WordPress

Test with WordPress Password Reset

• Go to your site’s wp-admin URL.

• Reset your password from WordPress and check the email you receive.
• If no email is received, contact your hosting provider to activate the Mail Server on your hosting account.
• If the email is received, check the email address used as the sender.

• Most hosting providers use an address like [email protected], but it’s best to confirm the exact email address used.

Verify Email Sender from Theme Options matches Email Sender from WordPress password Reset

• Access the Email Settings:
  • Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.
  • Navigate to WpRentals > Theme Options.
  • Under the Email Management tab, click on Email Settings.
• Verify Email Sender:
  • Ensure that the “Emails will be sent from email” field is set to a valid email address.
  • If using a custom email, make sure it matches the one supported by your hosting service.
  • Important: Your email address should match the email address set up in your hosting account to prevent email delivery issues.

Test Email Delivery

Check Reports to Identify the Cause of Emails Not Being Sent

Install the Post SMTP Plugin

• Install the Post SMTP plugin to log email sending activities. The plugin provides detailed reports for each email, showing why an email may not have been sent.
  • Install the plugin on your WordPress site.
  • After installation, trigger an email action (e.g., a new user registration, password reset).
  • Check the plugin’s logs to find any errors or reports indicating the cause of the email delivery issue.

Test with a General Email Address

• Test the Email Delivery Send test emails using a general email address (e.g., Gmail). If you don’t receive the email, the issue could be related to the email server settings.
• Check for MX Record Issues If the test email is not received, the problem may be related to your MX (Mail Exchange) records. Hosting providers can assist you with these settings, which are necessary for your server to send emails.

Verify Email Port Settings for Specific Hosting Providers (e.g., BlueHost) Some hosting providers, like BlueHost, require the outgoing email server port to be set from 465 to 587 for proper email sending.

• You can configure this setting via the Post SMTP plugin.
• Follow the setup wizard in the plugin and enter your hosting’s SMTP details.
• Test the email sending with port 587.

Recommendations for Other Hosting Providers

• HostGator Clients If using a custom email address other than [email protected] doesn’t work, try setting the General Settings Email Address to match your domain (e.g., [email protected]).
  • Use the POSTMAN plugin to configure SMTP with login authentication using the same email and password set in General Settings.
• Cloud-Based Hosting Providers or other hostings that do not offer Mail Server. If your hosting does not support mail functionality (many cloud-based hosting providers do not offer this), consider using a third-party service like SendGrid, which offers 100 free emails per day: SendGrid Free Plan.
  • For cloud hosting without mail functionality, using SendGrid as an SMTP server can help resolve email delivery issues.
  • Follow this guide on how to integrate SendGrid with WordPress for more details.
  • Ensure that the sender email set in SendGrid is also added to the Email Settings in your WpRentals theme.
