What does the shortcode [condotel] do?
It displays the frontend check-in/check-out form for users. Place this on any page to show the frontend interface.
How do I set the total number of Units in my complex?
Go to Condotel → Settings in your WordPress dashboard. Enter the total number of units in the Unit Count field and save changes.
What is the number of units used for?
Setting the total number of units in the complex allows the plugin to track occupancy percentages over time.
I don’t need to track number of people in a unit (guest count). Can I disable that?
Yes. In Condotel → Settings, uncheck Track Guest Count and save. The check-in/out forms and reports will no longer display guest count fields.
How do I check someone in from the admin area?
Go to Condotel → Dashboard, click Check In, choose a unit, fill in any guest details (if enabled), and click Confirm Check-In.
How do I check someone out from the admin area?
Go to Condotel → Dashboard, find the unit under Active Stays, click Check Out, and confirm. The stay will be moved to the recent stays area.
How does an administrator add a stay manually?
From Condotel → Dashboard, use the Add Stay option. Select the unit, set the check-in and check-out dates, and save. This is useful for entering past or upcoming stays.
How do I view current occupancy and overstays?
The Dashboard shows all active stays and flags any that have exceeded the maximum allowed stay duration.
How do I set maximum stay limits?
Go to Condotel → Settings, enter the number of days in the Maximum Stay (Days) field, and save.
Does the plugin prohibit or enforce stays over the maximum length?
No. Maximum stay is for monitoring purposes. It will notify the user and the admin that the person is over the maximum stay. It will also keep track of these occurences.
How do I manage unit information?
Go to Condotel → Units. Here you can assign unit numbers to your WordPress users.
How do I get email notifications for check-ins/outs?
In Condotel → Settings, enable Email Notifications and enter one or more email addresses (comma separated). You will get an email each time someone checks in or out.
Can I see occupancy statistics over time?
Yes. In Condotel → Dashboard, use the reporting range selector (Monthly, Yearly, All Time) to see occupancy rates, busiest days, and top users.
How do I change the date format displayed?
Go to Settings → General in WordPress and change the Date Format. Condotel uses your site-wide date format for all displays.
How do I disable front-end check-in/out?
Simply remove the page containing the [condotel] shortcode or restrict access to that page with WordPress page visibility settings.
How do I clear all data if I stop using the plugin?
Deactivate and delete the plugin from your WordPress dashboard. If you want to also remove all stored stays and settings, click “Delete” when prompted — the uninstall process will clean up all database entries.
