Check WordPress Thumbnail Settings

In your WordPress admin panel, go to: Wp-admin – Settings – Media

We use the default WordPress thumbnails generated through the Media settings. If these are missing or blank, the thumbnails won’t display properly.

Your settings must follow the default WordPress thumbnail configuration – exactly as in this screenshot

After settings are changed, existing images thumbnails must be regenerated. The easiest is to use Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin from WordPress Free Plugins repository

Best Practices for WordPress Performance

Ensuring your WordPress site loads quickly and efficiently is essential for both user experience and SEO.

One key aspect of this is using properly sized image thumbnails.

Why Thumbnails Matter

Large, high-resolution images (for example, 5000 x 700 px) can slow down your site significantly, especially when multiple large images are displayed on a single page (such as a gallery or property listing). By using optimized thumbnails—smaller versions of your images—you can:

•  Improve site speed and performance.
•  Reduce server load and bandwidth usage.
• Enhance user experience, especially on mobile devices.

WordPress automatically generates multiple thumbnail sizes for each uploaded image based on the theme’s settings.

All WpRentals theme thumbnail sizes can be adjusted via Theme Options, without needing to edit code.

This allows you to tweak dimensions to suit your design needs while keeping the site optimized.

Update Thumbnail Size in Theme Options

• Navigate to WpRentals > Theme Options in your WordPress dashboard.
• Locate the Advanced Settings -> Image Settings section.
•  Adjust the thumbnail dimensions to your preferred size. Adjust Crop option too if you wish.
  • Default size for recent items: 400 x 314 pixels.
  • Note that larger sizes may impact page load speed.
• Save your changes.

Regenerate Thumbnails

After changing the thumbnail size, previously uploaded images will not automatically resize. To update them:

1. Install and activate the Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.
2. Go to Tools > Regenerate Thumbnails.
3. Click the Regenerate All Thumbnails button.
4. Wait for the process to complete.

Verify Changes

Once the regeneration is complete:

• Visit your website and check if the new thumbnail sizes are applied.
• If thumbnails appear unchanged, clear your browser cache and refresh the page.

Additional Considerations

• Increasing thumbnail size can impact page load times.
• Test different sizes to find the best balance between quality and performance.

For more details, refer to the Force Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin.

To understand how WordPress Thumbs work, refer to https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/

Login / Register & Submit Display

This section includes the following options

Show User Login Menu in Header?

YES → The Login/Register modal is displayed in the header.

General → General Settings → “Auto delete orphan listings” (Learn more).

Login / Register Modal Image

• You can replace the default modal image with your own.

Redirect User After Login

Manage these from Theme Options > Register & Login Settings >Login Redirect Settings ->
Redirect users to the same page after login?

YES → Users stay on the same page after login.
NO → Users are redirected to a specific URL (if set).

• If no URL is set, they are sent to My Profile (User Dashboard).

Exceptions:

• If a user logs in from the Submit Property page, they are redirected to Edit Listing.

Debugging Login Redirect Issues:

• If redirection does not work, check if the page was edited with Elementor.
• To ensure proper functionality:
  • Do not use an Elementor-edited page as a login redirect.
  • Test the redirect manually before setting it in Theme Options.

•  Help Guide: Use WpRentals for a single property or single owner

The user login can be bypassed when a booking is placed by using Instant Booking and WooCommerce, for the new users created in checkout page to have limited User Dashboard pages- only to book- the separate users on registration needs to be set to NO and the owner’s usernames need to be in Theme Options.

Why are features and amenities that are checked not showing on the property page?
Mandatory: Ensure your server is running PHP version 7.0 or higher for checked features and amenities to display correctly.
For full server requirements, refer to this guide: WordPress Server Requirements for WpRentals.

Why doesn’t the icon set for a feature or amenity show?
If you’ve uploaded an SVG for each amenity but the icons aren’t showing on the property page, verify that your SSL installation is correctly configured. A screenshot of an incorrect SSL installation may indicate the issue, so it’s essential to confirm that SSL is properly set up for your domain.

Only the admin or registered users, depending on the submission settings, can make a property featured. The method depends on the Paid Submission Type configured in the theme.

Ways to Make a Property Featured (Based on Submission Type)

Membership Submission

If the Membership System is enabled:

• The admin creates membership packages that include a set number of regular and featured listings.

• A user purchases a package and can then list properties and mark a limited number as featured—based on their package.

• Membership packages have an expiration date.

Help article – Membership Submission

Paid Listing (Pay Per Listing)

If Paid Submission is enabled:

• Users pay a one-time fee to publish a listing.

• They can optionally pay an additional fee to make the listing featured.

• These listings do not expire unless manually removed.

Help article – Paid Submission

Free Submission

If Paid Submission is set to NO (i.e., property submission is free):

• Users cannot mark properties as featured from the front-end dashboard.

• Only the admin can make a property featured from the WordPress admin panel by editing the property and selecting “Make it Featured”

Where Featured Properties Appear

Featured properties are shown first in:

• Recent Items Shortcode
• Recent Items Slider Shortcode

• Properties List Half Map
• Advanced Search Results

How to Identify Featured Properties

Featured listings are marked with a special icon or label on the top-left corner of the property image. The design depends on the card unit type selected in Theme Options.

How it works: 

• Price adjustments for a certain period are done from the calendar, for specific days /  months. You have to repeat this process for every period.
• To set custom price, find in the calendar the month for which you wish to add different prices.  Click the beginning date and end date (2 clicks)

• A modal will show with the fields to set different prices, different minim days, different turn-over days. Add your new values here

• Custom price table can be deleted from the same settings area

• The custom price table will show on the listing page only for the future periods. Past periods will not show (they are removed automatically).

• If you wish to show less options, you can de-select the fields you wish to remove from Theme Options -> Add Listing & Payment Settings -> Listing Submission Form -> Select the Fields for listing submission. 

Formulas used:

total = (inter price + expenses + manual_expense ) - early bird + city fee+ cleaning fee + sec deposit

$early_bird_discount- doesn't include extra guest, security, city fee, cleaning fee

$you_earn = $total_price - $security_deposit - floatval($city_fee) - floatval($cleaning_fee) - $service_fee;

$taxes = round ( $you_earn * $taxes_value/100,2);

$price_for_service_fee = $total_price - $security_deposit - floatval($city_fee) - floatval($cleaning_fee);

city fee % Doesn't consider price for extra guest

city fee % Doesn't consider extra expenses (added when owner issues invoice)

100% deposit includes automatically expenses (city fee / cleaning fee) - even if the option is set to NO

• The half-map layout does not support header media.
• Properties from search results and their pins on the map. The map and list are synchronized.
• No sidebar.
• No footer

How to set the Search Form Fields

The half map search form appears in all these 3 locations and they are always the same fields (no matter if the taxonomy shows specific properties from that category only)

• Search Results Half Map Layout
• Taxonomies / Property Categories Half Map Layout
• Properties List – Half Map Layout 

The search form used in the Half Map layout allows users to search and filter properties without reloading the page
