FAQ
- How can I embed the booking calendar on a page or post?
-
Use the ‘Add Calendar’ button above the editor, the Gutenberg block, the Widget or the shortcode. An example of a shortcode: [wpsbc id=”1″ title=”yes/no” legend=”yes/no” legend_position=”side/top/bottom” language=”auto/language-code”]. If you paste this shortcode in a page it will show your calendar.
