Version 1.3.2 of our Bookings software has just been released. This is a minor update but including a few useful features.

Now you can set reservations to be subject to approval. The reservation remains in status ‘pending’ until it has been approved by an operator. We also added the possibility to send an email to the administrator/operator in case a new bookings has been made (Pro version).

And finally we made a few improvements and fixed a couple of issues:

• Improved role management (admin vs operator)
• Added display of region in setup panel

• Removed date link from front end calendar
• Removed grey background from admin screens

WHMCS Bridge and WHMCS Bridge Pro both are compatible with WHMCS 5.0. We’ve been running tests for a while and haven’t identified any issues so far. We can’t exclude some minor hiccups here and there but generally it’s working fine.

Make sure you have the latest versions (1.6.3) of both plugins.

We’re happy to announce the release of version 1.2.0 our WHMCS WordPress multi-site provisioning plugin.

In this new version, we’ve added the possibility to specify the blog space you want to allocate at blog creation. Just define it as a parameter of your WHMCS package.

This solution consists of both a WordPress plugin and a WHMCS addon. Make sure you install version 1.2.0 of both parts.

You can find out more about remote provisioning WordPress blogs for WHMCS here.

Version 1.6.0 of both WHMCS Bridge and Bridge Pro has been released today. The main new feature in WHMCS Bridge Pro is that now the IP address of the customer is shown instead of the IP address of the server hosting the WordPress installation. Some of our users had raised this as an issue as it caused problems with Maxmind and logging of user actions.

If you’re a current user, please make sure that you upgrade both WHMCS Bridge and WHMCS Bridge Pro to version 1.6.0.
