Journal des modifications

1.0.32

• Improved : lighter in-plugin help. The Guide and About screens now give a short text for each step and feature, with a link to the full help online. Fewer texts to read and to translate ; the details stay in the full help online.

1.0.31

• New : the options of a booking (breakfast, equipment…) can be chosen for each room or product separately, and an option charged per person can cover only some of the persons of the line.
• New : the day and time of a booking appear in the booking details, the lists and the e-mails.
• Fixed : a night with no arrival time can still be booked in the evening, even with a short minimum notice.
• Fixed : a slot that has already started, or that is too close for the minimum notice, is shown as closed instead of full, and a slot already started today no longer counts as free.
• Fixed : browsing the availability calendar month by month no longer scrolls the page back to the top.
• Fixed : the « Open the checklist » link of the setup screen now opens the checklist.
• Improved : alignment of the order field and the « For each person » tick in the questions table.

1.0.30

• Improved : lighter translation work. About thirty long help texts are shortened (same information, fewer words) and a few duplicate strings are merged (the « + … » buttons, « Site default », « Error »).

1.0.29

• New : each product of a multi-product offer (each room, for example) has its own arrival date, so people of the same order can arrive or stay on different days. The price and the availability are checked for each line.
• Fixed : the questions asked for each person (an allergy, for example) are now asked for every person of every product, not only for as many people as the fullest product. Each question shows the name of its product, and the name also appears in the booking screen and in the e-mails.
• Fixed : in the availability calendar, a day with nothing to book (no slot planned, a weekend…) now has the grey striped background and the « Closed » mention, like a day closed by the webmaster.

1.0.28

• New : the diagnostic compares the PHP version with the release of its branch that contains the fixes for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 (8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27, 8.5.12) and says so when it is older. The message is cautious : some hosts apply these fixes without changing the version number.

1.0.27

• Fixed : booking several products of one offer (several rooms, for example) now lets the visitor set the number of persons and the number of nights for each product, with the maximum number of persons next to its name. The total adds up the lines.
• New : the prices shown on the offers before the visitor chooses can be set for each block (and as a site default in the Style tab) : from the lowest price, a range, every price (one line for each category or row of the table), or no price at all.
• Changed : the line « No preference » of a multi-product offer is now « Assign automatically », with the same two settings (nights and persons) as the other lines.
• Changed : the help of each admin screen is now a short summary with a link to the full help on the publisher’s site, so there are far fewer texts to translate. The Guide keeps its steps and blocks.

1.0.26

• Nouveauté : le guide « Configurer une offre » est réorganisé en trois phases (le produit, quand, la vente), avec un tableau qui montre chaque produit et chaque offre ainsi que leur prochaine étape.
• Nouveauté : les points à corriger ou à vérifier s’affichent à chaque étape, sur le tableau, dans la dernière vérification et sur la vue d’ensemble : prix manquants, dates que personne ne peut réserver, personnel insuffisant, prix ou saisons qui se chevauchent, et plus encore. Ils ne bloquent jamais rien.
• Modification : l’étape Personnel est marquée « Inutile » pour un produit qui n’a pas besoin de personnel.

1.0.25

• Changed : screenshots added to the plugin page.

1.0.24

• Changed : the plugin page presents the possibilities of the plugin in more detail (what can be offered, the booking form, the protection of the customers’ data).

1.0.23

• New : the journal of the support access can be emptied from its card (one line remains to record that it was emptied).

1.0.22

• Security : new booking numbers are longer and drawn with a secure random generator (for example VEFMB-2026-K7QH-3MXD-9WTR), so that the confirmation and payment pages cannot be reached by guessing a number. Numbers already given keep working.
• Security : a visitor can no longer keep an unlimited number of places on hold ; the holds released or expired free the allowance again (filter vefmb_max_active_holds).
• Security : booking with the email address of an existing customer only completes the customer’s record (name, phone, address left empty) ; it never replaces what is already saved.
• Security : a payment page replaces the previous one of the same booking, so two open windows can no longer charge the same booking twice ; a PayPal payment is refused when the booking is already paid, and a second charge is recorded in the booking’s history.

1.0.21

• Security : a Stripe payment is settled only when Stripe reports it as paid and the amount and the currency match the booking ; delayed payment methods are handled when the money arrives ; two events arriving together can no longer settle a payment twice, and a refunded payment can no longer come back to « paid ».
• Security : a cart can no longer become two bookings when two requests arrive at the same moment.
• Security : the confirmation page limits failed booking-number lookups like the rest of the plugin, and the number of bookings that can be started for the same email address in an hour is limited.
• Security : leaving the phone or the address empty in a new booking no longer erases those saved for an existing customer ; the browser session token uses secure random values.
• New : customers’ personal data can be exported and erased with the WordPress tools (Tools > Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data), and a suggested text for the privacy policy page is provided. An erased customer keeps no name, email, phone or address ; the bookings and their payments stay, anonymous, as accounting records.
• Changed : the Guide, About and contextual Help screens describe the support access, the conversation and the limited rights.

1.0.20

• New : the Diagnostic lists every extension of the site, read-only : active, inactive and must-use ones with their version, and the updates WordPress already knows about, and the pages that carry a VEFmultiBooking block (title, status and address). A support access therefore does not need the Extensions screen.
• New : a conversation between the webmaster and the support team while a support access is open, with the possibility to ask the webmaster for an action only he can do. The messages stay on the site and are erased when the access is closed.
• Security : the secret keys of Stripe and PayPal are no longer printed back in the settings page (an empty field keeps the saved key, a box removes it) ; the support account can never change the payment settings, manage users, install or edit code, save unfiltered HTML, export personal data, or change the administrator email, the default role, the registration option or the site address ; the sign-in link can now be used by one request only, even when several arrive at once ; its page cannot be shown inside a frame.
• Changed : the dates of the support access (end date, sign-ins, journal) follow the date and time format chosen in the site settings.

1.0.19

• New : « Support access » in the Diagnostic and support tab. One click opens a time-limited, revocable access for the publisher’s support team and emails the key. Limited rights by default, a journal of events, an email to the site administrator at each sign-in, a single-use sign-in link. Nothing is opened unless you click.
• Fixed : the column title of the features table no longer puts « (free) » after the plugin name.
• New : the Diagnostic is more complete (memory limit, server, language, permalinks, PHP extensions, installed VEF plugins, recent VEF log lines) and is shared by the screen, the support form and the support access email.

1.0.18

• Fixed : a resource was marked « Ready » as soon as it had an availability rule, even when no date could be booked, so an accommodation could be missing from the booking block without any explanation. « Ready » now applies the rules of the booking form (free nights in a row, open periods, arrival days, minimum nights), and otherwise says why.
• New : a « Bookable » column in the products of an offer shows, for each product, whether visitors can book it and, if not, the reason.
• Changed : the number and « who is coming » fields of the booking form are centered under their label.

1.0.17

• Fixed : the round badges of the confirmation and of the messages take their own color (green or red) instead of the text color. The check mark was hard to read when the theme gave the title a red or green color. The symbol turns light or dark by itself, and the badges follow the high contrast mode.
• New : « Success color » and « Error color » settings, for the whole site (Style tab) and for each block in Gutenberg, Divi 5 and Elementor.
• Fixed : every color setting now accepts a color of your palette or a Divi 5 global color, not only a typed value.

1.0.16

• Changed : in the availability calendar, closed days are now grey with fine stripes (in the legend, on the site and in the administration) instead of a reddish tint, so they are clearly different from the available days.

1.0.15

• Changed : the menu now has two separate pages for the help : « Guide » (the guide to Free and Pro, and the diagnostic and support) and « About » (the installed version and the licenses and versions of Free and Pro).

1.0.14

• New : « Add another offer » now lets the visitor choose another offer, even in a booking block that shows a single offer. A new setting on each booking block (Gutenberg, Divi 5, Elementor) decides what is offered : every published offer (the default), only the offers the block shows, or a selection.
• Changed : the « Help » page of the menu is now called « About », and its first tab « Guide ». The former About tab and the license are now one tab, « Licenses and versions » : it shows the installed version and the optional free license, and, with VEFmultiBooking Pro, the Pro license, updates and versions.
• Fixed : after the page is reloaded, the bar showing the offers waiting in the cart now reappears at once in a block that shows a single offer.

1.0.13

• Changed : messages, the total and the confirmation no longer use a coloured edge. They sit on a translucent, blurred panel that lets the page background show through and follows your text colour, with a round status icon (red or green symbol). The admin intro, help and schedule rows lose their coloured edge too.

1.0.12

• New : the booking form says how many persons a date accepts (for example « Up to 6 persons ») next to the field, before the visitor types a number.
• Fixed : each booking keeps the name typed with it, so the name of an earlier booking no longer changes when someone else orders with the same email address.
• Fixed : a single price is shown as it is (« 60.00 EUR ») ; « From » only appears when the price can vary.
• Fixed : deleting or switching off an opening time left its future slots offered on the site. They now go with it (the ones that are booked or edited by hand stay), and the ones left behind by earlier deletions are removed when you update.
• New : a break (lunch…) can be set when a start repeats during the day, with a live preview of the departures.
• New : close a day between two hours only, instead of the whole day.
• New : select several slots and remove, close, reopen or change their capacity in one go.
• New : in the Simple display, opening times and closures are written in plain words and can be removed in a click.
• Improved : in the Simple display, the resource and offer lists show plain sentences instead of technical columns, the guide shows a progress bar, and People and Seasons start with one clear sentence (the full text is one click away).
• Improved : long explanations under a field keep their first sentence in view and open with a « ? » button ; the sections of the forms are cards.
• Improved : in the Catalog, the « Set up an offer » guide tab stands apart and the tabs it commands are drawn as arrows from left to right, like a path ; and its progress counts the offers visitors can really book.
• Improved : the Divi 5 visual builder preview loads its styles with the WordPress enqueue functions, and the plugin links of the readme and of the plugin header point to existing pages.
• Improved : in the calendars, a day you closed is shown as « Closed » (red), apart from « Full » (orange) and « Available ».
• Improved : the display bar lets you switch between Simple and Advanced on every screen ; the label used for packages can be adapted to your business.

1.0.8

• New : for appointments (massages, lessons…), a rule can repeat a start every X minutes until a last start time, instead of typing every start time : from 09:00 every 30 minutes until 15:30 creates the 14 departures at once.

1.0.7

• Fixed : closing a day or a period in « Exceptions and blocks » now really closes its slots (including the slots created later), and deleting the closure opens them again. Closures recorded before this version are applied when you update.
• Fixed : an offer that sells a package was wrongly reported as « no open slot ».
• Fixed : a package can no longer be booked on a day when the guide of one of its activities is absent.
• New : the choice of what you offer and the Simple / Advanced display are now at the top of every admin page, and a Simple / Advanced switch is in the product, offer, price and opening-times forms. Optional settings are hidden in Simple, never removed.
• New : the word « Package » can be changed in Settings (for example « Organised stay »).

1.0.6

• New : when an offer sells several products (for example identical rooms), the visitor can tick one or more of them, or leave a number to the first free ones with « No preference ». Each one becomes a line of the cart, and the total shows how many were chosen.
• New : a guided set-up, « Set up an offer » in the Catalog, takes you step by step through the resource, the staff, the seasons, the availability, the offer, the prices and the publication, always on the usual screens, so everything stays editable afterwards.
• Changed : the slots of a resource are shown as a month calendar (one click on a day to see, close or change its slots), with the full list still available.
• New : choose what you sell (accommodation, activities, both, something else) and a Simple or Advanced display, in a bar at the top of every admin page. The menu words follow the choice, nothing is deleted when you change it.
• New : adding a resource starts by choosing its kind (accommodation, activity, package, other) ; the settings that matter for it come first and the others are folded under « Advanced settings ».
• Changed : the « Availability » tab is now called « Opening times », and a resource shows its opening times with a direct link to change them.
• New : seasons, named once and chosen in the opening periods and in the prices.
• Fix : the tick boxes of the booking form are no longer stretched like text fields.
• Changed : dates in the admin lists (recurring rules, bookings, customers, slots, absences) follow the date format of the site.

1.0.5

• Fix : wording of a French help text.

1.0.4

• New : an offer sold by the night can link several resources, for example identical rooms. Once the dates are chosen, the visitor picks one of the free ones, or « No preference » to take the first free one ; the price is the offer’s. When you enter a booking yourself, you can pick the resource or leave it on automatic.
• Changed : the « Going further » guide follows the order of the admin tabs, and each card links to its tab.

1.0.3

• Changed : a section title that follows other content has room above it, so add-on screens match the others.

1.0.2

• Changed : PayPal and Stripe are two tabs side by side in Settings, like in the other VEF plugins, with a check mark on the tab whose keys are filled in, so both payment methods are plainly visible.
• Changed : the titles of the admin sections use the accent color of the administration color scheme, like the page header, so that each group of settings stands out.
• New : when several VEF plugins are active on a site, their menu entries sit side by side between two separators instead of being scattered. A menu editor plugin keeps the last word, and the « vef_group_admin_menu » filter turns the grouping off.

1.0.1

• English source texts ; translations come from translate.wordpress.org.
• Fix : the block options script had no translations loaded in the editor.
• Source texts harmonised (email, ellipsis). No database change.

1.0.0

• Initial release on WordPress.org.
