Yes, WPRentals lets you see and manage all bookings, blocked dates, and guest details from one simple front-end dashboard. Each owner gets a clear control panel with a unified calendar and booking list, without entering the WordPress admin. From that same place you can see who is coming, which dates are blocked, and open any reservation to view guest contact details and invoices with just a few clicks.
How does the WPRentals front-end dashboard show all my bookings?
The front-end dashboard groups every reservation and block in one place so owners avoid switching between listings.
In WPRentals, each owner gets a front-end dashboard with an All-in-One Calendar that merges all listings into one view. You do not need to open each property one by one to see who is arriving next week. The calendar shows bookings and manual blocks for every listing linked to that user account. For most hosts, this cuts daily checking time from minutes per listing to seconds total.
The calendar uses clear color-coding so you can scan it fast. Reserved dates, free dates, and manually blocked dates appear in different colors, so occupancy patterns stand out. You can hover or click a booking cell to see short info like guest name and status. At first this feels simple, almost too simple, yet it covers what staff need.
- The All-in-One Calendar shows booked and blocked dates for all properties in one grid.
- Colors mark reserved, free, and manually blocked dates for clear and fast scanning.
- A booking list view displays each reservation with a status like pending or confirmed.
- Every booking row links to the detailed reservation page and its matching invoice.
Besides the visual calendar, WPRentals also has a booking list inside the same front-end dashboard. That list groups each reservation in rows, with labels such as Pending, Confirmed, or Canceled. From that table, you can open a booking to see full details or jump straight to the auto-created invoice, without touching the WordPress backend.
Can I manage blocked dates and off-platform reservations directly from the calendar?
Manual blocking lets owners reflect maintenance, private events, and offline reservations on the live availability calendar.
The calendar in WPRentals is not only a display; owners can click and drag over a date range to block it. After selecting a start and end date, you mark that span as unavailable, and the theme records it as a manual block. Those days show with their own color so you can tell them apart from normal online bookings. This helps when you want to take a week off or hold space for a known return guest.
This setup works well for off-platform or phone reservations that never use the online checkout. You can enter them as manual bookings or block the dates directly in the front-end dashboard so the site will not accept new requests for that period. WPRentals updates public availability right after you save the change, so visitors see the new status on search and listing pages at once. It sounds small, but avoiding a double booking on a busy week matters a lot.
Where do I see guest details and invoices for each upcoming stay?
Detailed booking and invoice views keep all guest and stay information together in one easy place.
For each confirmed reservation, the owner dashboard in WPRentals stores full booking details, including guest name and contact info. You open the booking from the calendar or the booking list and see the stay dates, number of guests, and the person who booked. Guest contact fields become visible once the reservation is approved, following the theme’s privacy approach. At first this delay might seem limiting, but it keeps early data sharing under control.
The theme also generates an invoice for every booking, and that invoice links directly from the reservation view. Inside the invoice you see guest name, stay dates, line items like nightly cost, cleaning fee, and taxes, plus totals and any deposit paid. WPRentals keeps these invoices in the same front-end area so you are not hunting through old emails to find what someone owes. Guests also get a renter dashboard that shows their own trips and payment status, while owners see a more complete financial view for each stay.
| Where you click | What you see | Main use |
|---|---|---|
| Booking row in dashboard | Guest name dates status | Quick check of upcoming stay |
| Booking details page | Guest contact people count notes | Prepare check in and messages |
| Invoice link for booking | Price breakdown fees taxes totals | Confirm amounts and charges |
| Renter dashboard view | Guest trips payment status | Let guests track reservations |
| Email notification link | Direct jump booking details | React fast to new reservations |
This structure gives you a straight path from a new booking email to the exact booking and its invoice. Instead of copying data between tools, you click once and land on the page that shows who is coming and what they paid. For an owner with many active bookings, that single flow cuts several small manual steps each day.
How does WPRentals help multi-property hosts track occupancy at a glance?
A single multi-property calendar helps managers see overall occupancy and gaps in a few seconds.
Owners with many listings see the most value from the All-in-One Calendar because it supports any number of properties under one account. WPRentals loads all those calendars into one view, with each booking block tagged by property title. You can scroll through months and see when the whole portfolio is busy or when gaps appear. At first you might review each unit by itself, then you realize the portfolio view is faster.
The theme treats each listing type the same in this overview, whether the unit is an entire home, a private room, or a shared space. You can still open any single listing from the menu if you need to change its price or rules. From the calendar, you jump into those listing settings with one click, make your change, then return to the global view. Honestly, non-technical staff often end up using this more than owners, because labels are plain and they can avoid the WordPress admin.
Does the unified dashboard support partial payments and remaining balance tracking?
Deposit and balance information stays clearly tracked per booking in the same booking dashboard.
The payment system in WPRentals lets the site admin set a deposit, either as a percent or as a fixed amount. When a guest books, they pay only that deposit through the normal checkout while the theme records both the deposit and full total in the invoice. The booking list and booking details then show which amount has been paid and which is still due before arrival.
If the admin enables it, guests can log back in later to pay the rest from their renter dashboard in the PMS (Property Management Software). WPRentals also sends automatic reminder emails some days before check-in when there is still an unpaid balance. For owners, all of this appears in the same front-end dashboard where they see dates and guest info, so they do not need to match payments by hand in a separate tool.
FAQ
Can owners see all upcoming bookings for all their properties without using the WordPress admin?
Yes, owners can see every upcoming booking for all their properties from the WPRentals front-end dashboard only.
The All-in-One Calendar and booking list are both part of the front-end owner panel, not the WordPress backend. A host logs in, opens the dashboard, and can view all reservations and blocked dates in one place. This keeps daily work away from the more complex WordPress admin screens and is safer for non-technical staff.
When do guest contact details become visible to hosts, and where are they shown?
Guest contact details become visible to hosts in the booking details screen once a reservation is confirmed.
In WPRentals, you open the reservation from the dashboard calendar or booking list to see the guest name, email, and other shared info. Those details are also copied into the auto-generated invoice linked to that booking. This way hosts have the data they need for check-in plans, but it stays inside the booking context, not scattered in random messages.
Do blocked dates appear differently from confirmed reservations on the calendar?
Yes, manually blocked dates use a different color from confirmed reservations on the WPRentals calendar.
The All-in-One Calendar and per-listing calendars clearly separate three states: booked, available, and manually blocked. Confirmed reservations and manual blocks each have their own color so you can see why a date is unavailable at a glance. That makes it easy to spot which gaps are real openings and which are times you closed for maintenance or a private event.
Can non-technical staff safely manage bookings and blocks only from the front-end panel?
Yes, non-technical staff can manage bookings and date blocks fully from the WPRentals front-end panel.
The dashboard uses simple labels, buttons, and a visual calendar, so tasks stay clear and hard to break. Staff can approve or reject bookings, add manual blocks, and open guest details without entering the WordPress admin. This keeps the workflow focused on rentals and reduces the chance of someone changing theme or site settings by mistake.
