Search form builder

Use the Ba Book Everything → Search Form admin menu to customize the search form fields and tabs.

Note

Search form is a widget, so you have to add it in a widget area of your site to display the form on the front-end

warning

When using the plugin in conjunction with specialized booking themes, these settings must be supported by the theme

Tabs

Tabs are used to display search form fields depending on the selected booking category. For example, when searching for apartments, the form will use two date fields for the start and end of the booking. However, when searching for a tour, it may be sufficient to specify just one date to begin the search. By default, tabs are disabled, and one set of fields is used to search across all booking categories.

To add a new tab, specify the name that will be displayed, the tab slug (only a-z letters), and the booking categories in which the search will be performed. Then click "Add new Tab" button to save changes.
