We recommend either our most favorable “WP Car Rental” theme, that is specially made for this plugin or “BeCarRental” design from “BeTheme” 250+ themes pack, which incorporates bunch of hi-end features (visual content editor, Google Fonts, Twitter Bootstrap etc.).
“BeTheme” uses their own icon set, so to have support for FontAwesome icons, you will also need to be sure that you enabled “Font Awesome” in Car Rental System Settings.
We recommend using “Full width” page template, but it can be any other great WordPress Premium theme, or any page template.
Also, make sure that you have set the “Steel Blue” style in Car Rental System Settings.

Yes, there is! In folder “CRS Documentation” there is detailed beautiful HTML file with all step-by-step guidance, detailed front-end and back-end feature list, and all possible short-codes, needed for the setup!

Short answer – if you can choose, choose WordPress multisite.
Long answer – if you‘re thinking that your business will scale or will face a heavy traffic in the future and you want to run it in multiple language, we highly recommend you to go with official WordPress multisite setup and “network-enable” the plugin and do not use WPML.

For people, who would like to replicate demo content, we made a copy of our English Car Rental Agency website.
To import a demo you need to go to WordPress admin, click on “Car Rental” section in left navigation menu and choose “Settings” element.
Then go to tab “Import Demo”, select “Car Rental Agency” demo item from drop-down in that tab, and click “[Import]” button.

Please keep in mind that:

1. By importing demo you will flush all your existing car rental data.
2. Other website content, including pages content, won’t be affected, so you still have to add the shortcodes by yourself.
3. Make sure you have a latest DB backup with you before performing this action.

For backend demo, see nearly 50 attached screenshots. Or you can access them directly via here:

The easiest to do without template overriding, is just to edit HTML of ’/Extensions/CarRental/Templates/Front/Booking/template.Step1SearchForm.php’ and CSS at ’/Extensions/CarRental/Assets/Front/CSS/style.CrimsonRed.css’.
The exact location of each CSS class line in CSS file can be seen with Firefox Developer Edition browser and it’s ‘Developer Tools’ with ‘Inspector’ tool.
If this seem hard to do for yourself, please contact our partners for custom work (see F.A.Q. answer for ‘custom works’ / ‘individual assistance’).

Please create a new WordPress page, put a [car_rental_system display=”search” steps=”form,list,list,table,table”] shortcode to it and get that page id. Then use that page id for ‘action_page’ attribute value for your main page search form, where you have you have your primary search shortcode.

You need to modify the text in ’/Extension/CarRental/Languages/en_US.php’ language file, and replace all words in file from ‘car’ to ‘bike’ and from ‘Car’ to ‘Bike’.

If your language, if it is not yet listed in existing translations, then you need to make a copy of ‘Extensions/CarRental/Languages/en_US.php’ language file as ‘[YOUR-LANG-CODE].php’ (for exact language code of your language, please download see ‘Language Kit for Translators’ folder in the package), and translate the text next to language keywords.
Also, if you want to be sure that your language file will be always up-to-date with the newest plugin versions, please add it to ZIP file and send it to us via contact email.

You can create ‘single-car_rental_page.php’, ‘single-car_rental_item.php’, ‘single-car_rental_location.php’ files in in your theme folder. WordPress core should pickup these template files. At the begging these templates can be a copy of single page template or default theme page template.

You need to a new shortcode attribute handler with it’s controller and template file:
1. Create a template file, i.e. ‘template.ModernList.php’ in the ’/Extension/CarRental/Templates/Front/’ folder (at first it can be just a copy of ‘template.ItemsList.php’)
2. Create a ‘ModernController’ controller class file, i.e. ‘class.Modern.php’ in ’/Controllers/Front/Shortcodes/’ folder (at first it can be just a copy of ‘class.Items.php’ with a class rename to ‘ModernController’).
3. Add a new resource handler in shortcode parser – you need to add a new CASE for switch statement for parseShortcode($attributes) method in \Controllers\Front\LoadController final class, i.e.:

case "modern":
    // Create instance and render modern list or modern slider
    $objModernController = new \NativeSystem\Controllers\Front\Shortcode\ModernController($this->conf, $this->lang, $arrLimitations);
    $retContent = $objModernController->getContent($sanitizedLayout);
    break;

4. Use the newly added shortcode in a WordPress page, where you want to display a new listing content:

[car_rental_system display="modern" layout="list"]

Make sure your server SMTP settings are working. Or use SMTP plugin, which is attached in plugins package and use 3rd party service like ZOHO.com. Also make sure you have enable emails sending in CRS main settings page.

It’s either your /wp-content/uploads/car-rental-gallery/ folder was not created automatically due some restrictions in your server, or files can’t be upload to that folder. Also, it you are not using regular DirectAdmin, CPanel, WAMP, LAMP, EasyPhp server or so, and using your own server configuration, it might be that you’re are missing the GD library, to install it use it:

sudo apt-get install php5-gd
sudo service apache2 restart

You need to add discount periods for that:
0-6 days: 0%
7-7 days – A % (so that it would be 330/7= $47.14/day)
8-8 days – B % (so that it would be 330/8= $47.50/day)
9-9 days – B % (so that it would be 430/9= $47.78/day)
And so on.

In case if your server does not support PHP sessions, there is a 3rd party plugin – “WordPress Native PHP Sessions”, which included in the package.
This plugin implements PHP’s native session handlers, backed by the WordPress database. This allows plugins, themes, and custom code to safely use PHP $_SESSIONs in a distributed environment where PHP’s default tempfile storage just won’t work.

First of all you need to activate languages and translations for custom post types. You can do this in Languages -> Settings -> Custom post types and Taxonomies -> Settings. Active ‘Rental Page’, ‘Car Page’ and ‘Car Location’, and save changes. Now you can translate rental pages, car pages and car locations pages.
