In detail

CaliDiary and WordPress

How it fits into WordPress

  • Install the free CaliDiary plugin from the WordPress plugin directory; Solo and Pro add CaliDiary Pro, which updates from the Plugins screen like any other plugin.
  • Add the form with the CaliDiary booking form block (with a live preview in the editor), the [calidiary] shortcode, or the Elementor widget.
  • Manage everything in the CaliDiary menu of your WordPress admin: bookings, customers, team, locations, the booking form and settings.
  • Privacy tools plug into WordPress's own Export and Erase Personal Data tools.

Because CaliDiary is part of your website, bookings, customers' details and uploaded files stay in your own database and on your own server. See privacy and GDPR tools and the block and shortcode.

Questions about CaliDiary and WordPress

Which WordPress and PHP versions does CaliDiary need?
WordPress 6.7 or later, and PHP 8.4 or later.
Is the free plugin on WordPress.org?
Yes. The free CaliDiary plugin is listed in the WordPress.org plugin directory; Solo and Pro add CaliDiary Pro from your account.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. The booking form keeps its own styles, so themes cannot break it, and it takes your accent colour and rounding.
