1.20 Limit the number of pins to show on the map
Starting 1.20 you will see this new option in Maps Settings – Maximum number of pins to show on the map. http://help.wprentals.org/2017/03/09/speed-tips/
This option should be used to limit the pins on the map (if you have too many properties on the map and the site is getting slow). You can choose the number that performs best for your hosting. Read more on speed here –
How to use this option.
Scenario A:
With read from file set to NO
In this example, the limit of pins (10) will show in:
– Header Media (Google Maps) will show 10 pins
– Properties Standard List with Header Google Maps and Properties List Half Map – will show 10 pins for each page (and the pins will always include also the properties in page)
– Taxonomy (List or Half) – will show 10 pins for each page (and the pins will always include also the properties in page)
– Search Results Standard or Half page style – will always show the pins based on the results in page
– Owner page will always show the number of pins set in theme options, regardless of how many properties per page exist
Scenario B:
With read from file set to YES
In this example, the limit of pins (10) will apply only for these pages:
– Properties Standard List with Header Google Maps and Properties List Half Map – will show 10 pins for each page (and the pins will always include also the properties in page)
– Taxonomy (List or Half) – will show 10 pins for each page (and the pins will always include also the properties in page)
– Search Results Standard or Half page style – will always show the pins based on the results in page.
– Owner page will always show the number of pins set in theme options, regardless of how many properties per page exist
The difference between the previous scenario is that Header Media (Google Maps) will show ALL pins.
1.20 How to understand Invoice Details Info for Owner and User submitting request
User sending booking request:
Invoice explanations in My Reservations
Owner of the property:
Invoice explanations in My Bookings
Other elements you can see in invoices:
Early bird discount
As owner you can set early bird discount (in %) and how many days to in advance for this discount to apply.
Extra Expenses or Custom discount
Pay by the number of guests instead of price per night
Formulas used:
total = (inter price + expenses + manual_expense ) – early bird + city fee+ cleaning fee + sec deposit
$early_bird_discount- doesn’t include extra guest, security, city fee, cleaning fee
$you_earn = $total_price – $security_deposit – floatval($city_fee) – floatval($cleaning_fee) – $service_fee;
$taxes = round ( $you_earn * $taxes_value/100,2);
$price_for_service_fee = $total_price – $security_deposit – floatval($city_fee) – floatval($cleaning_fee);
city fee % Doesn’t consider price for extra guest
city fee % Doesn’t consider extra expenses (added when owner issues invoice)
100% deposit includes automatically expenses (city fee / cleaning fee) – even if the option is set to NO
1.20 How to work with Deposit Fee and Service Fee
Starting 1.20 we added new options to booking management:
Deposit fee (previous know as admin Admin Booking Fee – % booking fee). Now you can use deposit to take from user submitting the request a part of the booking total payment in advance / in order to confirm booking – andthe other part before booking starts (but making full payment via the site is optional). For who will wish to take full payment AND send then payment to owner, we allow that to work via PayPal AND the Payment Management addon (a separate addon that works through rentalsclub.org – http://www.rentalsclub.org/)
Service fee (the fee that goes to the site administrator and is deducted from owner earnings, but it is paid by the user submitting the request as part of the deposit). Because service fee is part of the deposit, it is important for deposit to be greater/equal than service fee.
These new options are managed from Membership
What you need to know.
-
For deposit value, use % OR fixed value (not both). Set 0 if you don’t wish to take any DEPOSIT (in which case set 0 for Service fee as well)
-
For Service value, use % OR fixed value (not both). Service fee = site admin fee
-
If you wish to take Service fee, service fee is deducted from DEPOSIT, so Deposti SHOULD NOT be left blank or 0 and Deposit should always be GREATER than Service fee (+ city, cleaning fee expenses, if that is set to be included in deposit)
Service fee shows in Owner dashboard – View Invoice Details
Service fee is deducted from owner earnings
-
When you add Deposit fee, there will be a reminder email to make the remaining payment before the beginning of the booking. The remaining payment can be done from My Reservations. But paying remaining invoice is optional
OPTIONAL: Payment can be sent to owner through paypal (if you use Payment Management addon from Rentals Club)

How to add / edit images in a property
Properties must be submitted in Front End and use admin edit property only to edit certain elements (please consider that some elements can be modified only in front end).
Possible issues that can happen when submitting from admin:
- Contact info doesn’t show and the city/area/country may not be set correctly so search with google places doesn’t work.
- Also, Calendar and Custom prices can be managed only from front end submission.
- If you wish – as admin – to make edits to properties submitted by users – you can use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/
- If you wish to be the only user uploading properties – see this help http://help.wprentals.org/2015/12/18/can-i-submit-properties-as-admin-and-not-from-user-dashboard/
To submit properties in front end login and go to Add New Property

For example in our demo we have 1920 x 1280 images for featured images. This fits nicely on large screen resolutions. – Property featured image should be the same size when used in feature property shortcode.
– The rest of the image attached to post can be the size you wish. All images will be listed in a gallery with Fancy Box gallery. This gallery is triggered on click (click on featured image or click on image thumbs)

How to set the location of a property on the map
If the pin is not placed on the map for a property, the map will show a default location in center of global maps.
Pin can be placed in 3 ways:
1. With the Place PIN with Address button (which sends to Google Maps the City, Country (saved in Step 1), Area – if filled in, Address – if filled in, State – if filled in.
2.You can also place pin manually by Clicking on the map.
3. Or you can place pin by copying Lat and Long fields.
The same can be done from admin – edit property – Place On The Map settings
If the property doesn’t have a pin, it means you must add pins for your new action/categories names. Check this help how to do that.
