 * hello,
 * when i add any shortcode to my homepage it works fine. but when I want to make
   a new transaction, for example creating a new reservation, all transactions continue
   on the homepage. When this is the case, it leads to a confusion with other areas
   in the page.
 * instead, is it possible to redirect to the page where all the tools are listed
   for example when the user takes any action?
 * or when the visitor uses any shortcode, is it possible to be redirected to the
   relevant page defined in the background?

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for your message. That’s happening because your home page is using a Shortcode
   rather than the apposite “Search Form” Widget. You should remove the Shortcode
   in the homepage and publish instead the Widget, and from its parameters you will
   be able to choose the landing page URL, which will be a drop down menu listing
   all of your active Shortcodes.
 * We do not suggest using Shortcodes in the home page exactly for that reason, 
   or the landing page of the booking process will remain the home page. This is
   because the current Post ID is always kept during the booking process, and the
   home page has got an empty Post ID which corresponds to the website root URI.
 * You should create at least the following types of Shortcode in Vik Booking and
   publish them onto an active Page/Post:
    1. Search Form (this is useful to set the permalink for the booking process, for
       example by adding it to a page called “Book Now”).
    2. Rooms List (useful to list your rooms and give access to the front-end to the
       details page of each room/listing).
    3. Booking Details. This type of Shortcode is fundamental for the routing functions.
       You can use it onto a page with a name like “Your reservation”.
 * This configuration should fix your problems.
