Theme & Design
Yes. Most templates/themes (95%) work out of the box just fine. Included with support/updates is up to 1/2 hour of time to help you get your theme working if it doesn’t out of the box. Theme issues that may need extra time are:
1) ajax add to cart modules (usually these can be turned off if not compatible, but many already work with no changes)
2) Some themes add homepage featured products and these are hardcoded to use a simple product price rather than a call to the magento getPrice(). If changes are needed for this beyond the included 1/2 hour it would need to be billed
3) Some themes remove default Magento functionality from the product page (bad programming techniques). Most themes do not, but if yours does it may need customization time to fix.
Our rental module has been installed into a variety of themes including Plaza Themes, Ultimo, and many from Theme Forest without issue. If we find any themes that are not compatible because they are very poorly coded we will list them here:
Venus Themes – these usually cause issues and we like to avoid them
Yes. The large majority of WordPress themes work with our rental booking plugin out of the box. Included with support/updates is up to 1/2 hour of time to help you get your theme working if it doesn’t work straight away.
The reason compatibility is good is that our plugin extends the standard WooCommerce product, cart and checkout templates rather than replacing them. Any theme that follows WooCommerce’s own template standards — which is nearly all of them — will render the rental calendar, pricing and booking fields correctly.
Popular WooCommerce-compatible themes that work well with the rental booking plugin include:
- Astra — lightweight and fast, and what this website runs on
- Kadence
- GeneratePress
- Blocksy
- OceanWP
- Neve
- Storefront — WooCommerce’s own reference theme
- Commercial ThemeForest themes such as Flatsome, WoodMart and Divi
Theme issues that may occasionally need extra time:
1) AJAX add-to-cart that bypasses the standard WooCommerce add-to-cart flow. This can usually be switched off in the theme settings, and many implementations already work with no changes.
2) Page-builder product templates (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery) that output a hardcoded product price instead of calling WooCommerce’s own price functions. Rental prices are calculated, so a hardcoded price field will show the wrong figure until the template is pointed at the correct function.
3) Themes that replace the default WooCommerce single-product template rather than extending it. This is poor practice and most themes do not do it, but if yours does it may need some customization time.
If your theme needs work beyond the included 1/2 hour we can quote for it — see our custom development request form. If we find any themes that are genuinely incompatible because of how they are coded, we will list them here.
