Hi,

Yes, we confirm VikRentItems and VikRentCar share many similar functionalities in regards of rate plans (types of price) and default pricing (rates table). The main difference between these two plugins is that the latter is focused on vehicles rentals where one rental order can only be made for one vehicle. VikRentItems instead is a more generic rental system and it allows to reserve multiple items and/or multiple item quantities per rental order. You can always override the default language definitions of VikRentCar through free WordPress plugins for “Gettext translations” in case you wanted to read something else rather than “Cars” in both front-end and back-end.

Exporting the pricing settings from one plugin to another is not allowed, and we don’t even recommend doing that via database, especially because the IDs of the rate plans or items may change. However, both plugins can be installed at the same time on the same website without any issue or conflict, but of course we suggest keeping only one plugin after you’re done moving the settings/contents.

Hi,

Yes, you are definitely going to find some similar functionalities in VikBooking, such as the Custom Fields, but VikBooking is definitely our largest plugin as it’s not just a Booking Engine, but it’s also a PMS with many reporting, financial, management and accounting capabilities.

Our company is a certified Channel Manager provider (E4jConnect) and so we provide real-time API operations with the major OTAs (Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Vrbo etc..). We also offer a Trial activation tool for WordPress in case you wanted to test the whole solution (Booking Engine, PMS and Channel Manager) before committing any purchase. Just to be clear on this forum, even if probably obvious, our Channel Manager service E4jConnect requires an active subscription, beside the commercial versions of the plugins VikBooking and Vik Channel Manager. However, if you go through the Trial activation tool, by connecting a real Airbnb or Booking.com host account, you will get all the required plugins and services activated for free for 30 days.

Feel free to reach out to our team should you have any technical or general questions.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Thanks for your message. Please find our comments below.

Custom Fields

1. The management functions for the Custom Fields are not available in the free version, and the only editable fields are those of type “checkbox”.
2. The page “Global – Translations” can definitely be used to translate the default custom fields that are installed with the free plugin version. By default, they use internal INI translation constants as name, and the upper-case word you found is actually the default name. If the custom fields could be edited, then you could simply change that INI constant to “Billing Information” (that’s what it actually refers and converts to) or any readable value. That value, which is the custom field name, would be displayed in the Translations page to identify the record you’re translating.
   “Entries” are only available for custom fields of type “select” to list the various select options (a drop-down menu to pick a value). The “Popup” field indicates the URL, and it’s what fields of type checkbox use. The label has not been changed, and the plugin used to open the custom field links within a modal/popup window.

Shortcodes: yes, just one Shortcode per page is allowed, as the rendering is made within a single buffer through PHP.

1. The language attribute for a Shortcode makes it different from other Shortcodes of the same type. A Shortcode is a simple string that gets places inside a WordPress post or page, and it allows the WP framework to run the plugin and let it render its own contents. For this reason, if you are publishing a page (Shortcode) of type “Items List”, then it’s suggested to have one Shortcode of that type for each language, so that the page slug (URL suffix) will be different from one language to another.
2. The language attribute for the Shortcodes will not affect the translations, as those are managed by WordPress and/or by any other language plugin you’re using. The language attribute is only meant to differentiate one Shortcode from the others, as their strings need to be unique. The content translations you are creating from the page “Global – Translations” will be automatically applied by our plugin as long as the currently active language changes in the public section of your site. This is usually done through a language switcher tool of a multi-language plugin.
   On the other side, language translations such as “Book Now” are automatically read and applied by WordPress by loading the apposite PO/MO translation files. Such files can be managed either manually by uploading them onto the plugin language directory, or through any multi-language plugin.

We hope this helps! Also, we invite you to reach out to our technical support team through our website even if you don’t have any active license or accounts.

Thank you!

Buongiorno,

Il nostro sistema supporta strutture multiple anche a livello di Channel Manager (E4jConnect). È possibile connettere e configurare account appartenenti a diversi proprietari (Host/Hotel) e le loro tipologie di camere o listings.

Anche su VikBooking è possibile andare ad assegnare varie tipologie di camere a determinate categorie. Si possono personalizzare le notifiche email in base al listing prenotato con loghi e contenuti diversi, ma non esiste una gestione vera e propria di strutture in quanto il nostro non è un sistema “multi-owner”. Chiunque abbia accesso alla gestione delle prenotazioni, ad esempio, avrà accesso alle prenotazioni di qualsiasi appartamento o tipologia di camera, a prescindere da chi sia il “proprietario” dell’account.

La invitiamo a contattarci direttamente da uno dei nostri sito web per maggiori informazioni.

Hello,

apologies for the late reply. It appears the initial notification was missed, and we only noticed your request after your follow-up.
For urgent matters, we always recommend contacting us through our official website.

Regarding the configuration you mentioned, the behavior you are experiencing is related to how the current algorithm handles group bookings. At the moment, it prioritizes finding the fastest available solution for the entire group, which may result in bypassing the minimum requirement of one adult per room.
This can still be adjusted manually in the booking details if needed. That said, your feedback is absolutely valid, and we will take it into consideration for future improvements of the system.

As for the message “No room is available for booking”, this can be easily customized using any translation plugin (such as Loco Translate) to better match your needs.
The message itself is shown when there is no single room capable of accommodating all guests, especially when the option to select multiple rooms has been disabled in the search form. If you prefer, the message can also be fully removed through an override.

Should you need any further technical assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our team via our official webiste.

Hi,

Yes, of course. On the restaurant configuration page, there is a parameter that allows you to change the table selection mode to one of the following options: no selection, choose only the room, or choose the table (and the room).

In your case, please follow the steps below:

• Open the Configuration > Restaurant page from the plugin back end.
• Access the Search section from the menu on the left side.
• Scroll down to the Tables area and set the Selection parameter to “Choose nothing”.
• Save the configuration.

Hello,

Thanks for your message. The blank page in your screenshot shows that the page is facing a PHP Fatal Error or an uncaught Exception.

There can be multiple reasons for that error, even a custom modification to a template file or an override that contains error. Alternatively, your PHP version may not be supported (minimum version as of today, Feb 2026, is PHP 7.4). In any case, the only way to detect the source of the error is to let WordPress display the server error message by temporarily enabling the Debug mode. This way errors will be displayed, and at the bottom of your blank page you should be able to read the full error stack. This will tell you exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it.

Our team is available to provide the necessary assistance to identify and fix the error. However, we suggest getting in touch with our team through our official website, even by using the contact form in case you don’t have a paid account for opening a support ticket.

Thank you,
The VikWP Team
