If you're building a hotel, resort, guesthouse, B&B, or vacation rental website with WordPress, here's a plugin we've been working on that might be useful: Easy Hotel Booking.

The main goal is to let hotel owners manage bookings directly from their WordPress website instead of depending completely on third-party booking platforms.

What does it actually offer?

🏨 Room & Accommodation Management
You can create and manage different room types from the WordPress dashboard, including room details, capacity, pricing, amenities, images, and availability.

📅 Availability Calendar
Guests can check available dates before making a reservation. The calendar helps prevent customers from trying to book rooms that are already unavailable.

🛏️ Multi-Room Booking
Guests aren't limited to booking just one room. They can select multiple rooms in a single booking, which can be useful for families, groups, or corporate travelers.

💰 Flexible Pricing
You can set different prices depending on the season or specific days. This makes it easier to handle peak-season pricing, weekend rates, holidays, and other pricing variations.

👨‍👩‍👧 Guest & Capacity Pricing
You can define adult and child capacity and configure pricing based on the number of guests when needed.

🍳 Extra Services
Hotels often offer additional services such as breakfast, airport transfers, spa services, extra beds, etc. These can be added to the booking so guests can select them while making their reservation.

💳 WooCommerce Payment Integration
The plugin works with WooCommerce, which means you can take advantage of WooCommerce's payment ecosystem instead of building a separate payment system from scratch.

Depending on the WooCommerce setup, you can offer options such as Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer and other available payment gateways.

💵 Full Payment, Deposit & Pay Later
Hotel owners can choose how they want to collect payments. You can require full payment, collect a deposit, or allow customers to pay later depending on your booking setup.

🔄 iCal Synchronization
If you also list your properties on platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com, iCal synchronization can help keep availability calendars synchronized across platforms and reduce the possibility of double bookings.

📧 Booking Notifications
Customers and administrators can receive email notifications related to bookings, helping both sides keep track of reservations and booking status.

📱 Responsive Booking Experience
The booking interface is designed to work across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, which is especially important because many travelers search and book from their phones.

We're continuing to improve the plugin and would genuinely like to hear from people who manage hotel, resort, or vacation-rental websites.

If you already use a WordPress hotel booking solution, what feature do you think is most important that many booking plugins still get wrong?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an Elementor addon we've been working on called Easy Elements.

The idea behind it is pretty straightforward: instead of installing several Elementor addons just to get different widgets and features, we wanted to put a broader set of tools into one plugin.

Some of the features currently included:

• 100+ Elementor widgets
• Dynamic content
• Advanced animations and GSAP integration
• WooCommerce widgets
• Header & Footer builder
• Sticky elements
• Live Copy/Paste
• Visibility controls
• Custom Code
• Ready-made templates
• Performance-focused asset loading

The plugin has both Free and Pro functionality, so you can try the free version before deciding whether you need the additional Pro features.

We're still improving the plugin, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who actually build websites with Elementor.

What features do you normally have to install a separate addon for?
And is there anything you think an Elementor addon should include that most existing addons are missing?

You can check out Easy Elements here:

If you've tried it, I'd also appreciate honest feedback—good or bad.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a WooCommerce project recently and one thing that kept coming up was currency support.

If you’re running a store that sells internationally, showing everything in one currency isn’t always ideal. Customers usually feel more comfortable when they can see prices in their own currency, and manually managing different currencies can get annoying pretty quickly.

So I ended up building a plugin called Easy Currency for WooCommerce.

The main idea is pretty simple — let customers switch between currencies and see prices in the currency they’re familiar with. It can also detect the visitor’s location and automatically show a relevant currency.

I’ve tried to keep the plugin fairly lightweight while still covering the things I personally wanted, like live exchange rates, multiple currencies, currency switching, and multi-currency checkout.

There are obviously plenty of currency plugins already available, so I’m not claiming this is something completely new. I mainly wanted to make something that was straightforward to set up and flexible enough for different types of stores.

If anyone here runs a WooCommerce store with international customers, I’d be interested to know:

What do you normally look for in a currency plugin?

Is there anything that existing plugins make unnecessarily complicated?

Here’s the plugin if anyone wants to have a look:

Any honest feedback would be appreciated.

I’ve been working with WordPress for quite a while, and one thing that kept bothering me was how quickly a “simple” form could turn into a pile of plugins and add-ons.

Need a multi-step form? Add-on.
Conditional fields? Another add-on.
File uploads? Another feature/plugin.
Calculations? You guessed it. 😅

So we decided to build BoldForm with the goal of keeping the commonly needed form-building features in one place.

It currently includes:

• Drag & drop form builder
• Multi-step forms
• Conditional logic
• File uploads
• Custom calculations
• Email notifications
• Spam protection
• Form entries management
• Payment-related fields

You can use it for everything from simple contact and registration forms to surveys, booking requests, lead generation and more.

But honestly, I'm not posting this just to say “here's another form plugin.”

We're trying to figure out where it actually fits compared with the form builders people already use.

If you build WordPress websites, what is the one feature you absolutely can't live without in a form plugin?

And just as importantly—what's one thing you dislike about the form plugin you're currently using?

We'd genuinely like to hear the good, the bad, and the “why does this require another add-on?” 😄

Honest feedback is welcome—even if you don't think it's the right plugin for you.

Disclosure: I'm part of the team behind Reacthemes.

We've been working on Almaris, a hotel & resort WordPress theme, and while building it we realized that many hotel themes look great but don't always focus on the booking experience.

We tried to focus on things like:

• Clean room and suite layouts
• Modern booking-focused homepage sections
• Elementor customization
• Mobile-friendly design
• Fast-loading pages

Instead of promoting the theme, I'd genuinely like to hear from people who build hotel websites.

If you were choosing a hotel WordPress theme today, what would matter most?

• Advanced room filtering?
• Interactive maps?
• Better booking UX?
• Performance?
• SEO?
• Something else?

I'd really appreciate honest feedback—even if it's criticism. We're still improving the product, so real-world opinions are much more valuable than compliments.
