CasavoLab Booking Manager

CasavoLab Booking Manager helps accommodation websites manage availability, booking requests and local reservations from WordPress. The free plugin is fully functional and does not require a license, account, trial period or payment. It includes:

• Multiple accommodation properties.
• Import of one or more iCal calendar feeds per property.
• Automatic and manual calendar synchronization.
• Public availability calendar and availability search.
• Booking request forms and email notifications.
• Multilingual public interface and guest emails with Auto language detection from the WordPress site language.
• Booking and manual block management in WordPress.
• Elementor widgets.
• Email workflow with secure Accept/Reject actions and optional click-to-WhatsApp links (wa.me); no WhatsApp Business API is used.

Optional commercial add-ons distributed separately by CasavoLab.it may add features that are not included in this plugin. No paid feature code is bundled in the WordPress.org plugin.

1.0.21

• Version-only release for WordPress update testing and FREE/PRO version alignment.
• No feature, database, booking, iCal, Elementor, security, multilingual, email, or public-interface behavior was changed.
• The FREE plugin continues to use the standard WordPress.org update channel; no PRO updater or license code is included.

1.0.20

• Aligned the FREE release version with CasavoLab Booking Manager PRO 1.0.20.
• No feature, database, booking, iCal, Elementor, security, or public-interface behavior was changed in this FREE release.
• The FREE plugin continues to use the standard WordPress.org update channel; the private CasavoLab PRO updater is not included.

1.0.16

• Added a public-language selector with Auto as the default. Auto follows the WordPress site language and keeps locale-aware calendar/date formatting.
• Added complete built-in public UI and guest/booking email translations for Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Greek, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian.
• Auto can still use normal WordPress.org language-pack translations for other site languages; untranslated fallback text is English.
• Existing Elementor widgets that still store the old Italian default labels are translated automatically without requiring the widget to be recreated.
• Preserved the standard WordPress gettext workflow for the back office and did not reintroduce load_plugin_textdomain().
• No booking, database, iCal, access-role or Pro feature logic was changed.

1.0.15

• Fixed the public booking-request submit button appearing white/invisible until hover when a theme or Elementor applies global button styles.
• The submit button now keeps the property accent or the Elementor-selected colors in normal, hover and compact/mobile portal states.
• No booking, email, iCal import, or access-role workflow was changed.

1.0.14

• Replaced the remaining dynamic WHERE/IN SQL fragments with fixed prepared queries so Plugin Check can statically verify every placeholder and parameter.
• Hardened the public booking-request form against theme/Elementor focus styles that could hide the border of the active text field.
• No booking workflow, iCal import, Elementor widget, email, or access-role feature was removed.

1.0.13

• Removed the unused Domain Path header so Plugin Check no longer expects a bundled languages directory.
• Passed the two remaining dynamic prepared custom-table queries directly to get_results() without intermediate SQL variables, improving static verification.
• No functional changes to booking, iCal, Elementor, email, or access-role behavior.

1.0.12

• Replaced the final warning-only DB annotations with real object-cache invalidation for booking update/delete operations.
• Added object caching for single booking lookups and automatic invalidation after writes.
• Passed prepared dynamic SELECT queries directly into get_results() so Plugin Check can statically verify the prepared DB parameter.
• No booking, iCal, Elementor, access-role or email workflow behavior changed.

1.0.11

• Final Plugin Check warning cleanup for the WordPress.org review build.
• Documented intentional custom-table writes so NoCaching warnings are not reported for update/delete operations.
• Marked prepared dynamic custom-table reads with narrowly scoped Plugin Check/PHPCS annotations after all identifiers, filters and values are passed through $wpdb->prepare().
• No booking, iCal, Elementor, role-management or email workflow behavior changed.

1.0.10

• WordPress.org review cleanup: tightened nonce placement and request sanitization so static analysis can verify the protections directly.
• Prepared custom-table identifiers with the WordPress %i placeholder where applicable.
• Documented intentional direct custom-table queries with narrowly scoped PHPCS annotations.
• Hardened uninstall cleanup and prefixed plugin-owned uninstall variables.
• Moved the development hand-off context to docs/CASAVOLAB_DEV_CONTEXT.txt so production Plugin Check does not treat it as an unexpected Markdown file.

1.0.9

• WordPress.org review hardening: added a WordPress nonce to the public email Accept/Reject confirmation POST while retaining the signed booking token.
• Removed the legacy load_plugin_textdomain() call; WordPress.org language packs are loaded automatically on supported WordPress versions.
• Reformatted the public booking/search JavaScript as human-readable source shipped directly with the plugin.
• Added explicit source/build documentation to the readme and tightened request input handling.

1.0.8

• Added per-user access control for users with the WordPress Editor role.
• Editors can be assigned no access, booking-only management, or full Booking Manager administration.
• Booking-only users can view, create, edit, delete and update booking/manual-block records without access to structures, iCal settings, appearance or email configuration.
• Administrators always retain full access.

1.0.7

• Restored the property name directly inside each booking/event shown in the admin calendar.
• Added a property color legend to make multi-property calendars easier to read.
• Aligned FREE and PRO release numbering.

1.0.6

• Set a dedicated Plugin URI for CasavoLab Booking Manager, distinct from the CasavoLab author website.

1.0.5

• Fixed the remaining Plugin Check translator-comment errors for translatable strings with placeholders.

1.0.4

• WordPress.org Plugin Check cleanup: output escaping annotations for renderer methods, prepared database queries and translator comments.
• Clarified iCal external-service detection to avoid false offloading warnings.
• Updated Stable tag to match the plugin version.

1.0.3

• Removed WhatsApp Business / Meta Cloud API integration.
• Restored secure Accept/Reject actions from owner email.
• Restored click-to-WhatsApp (wa.me) for the guest phone number.

1.0.1

• Fixed Elementor editor compatibility on installations using older widget registration APIs.
• Added safe fallback between register() and register_widget_type().
• Relaxed Elementor widget method signatures for broader PHP/Elementor compatibility.

1.0.0
