Changelog
Guests are now told when a refundable bond applies, how much it is, and the date it is payable by. Recommended for all sites that charge a bond.
1.2.1
- New: Refundable bond is now shown to guests when one applies — a “Refundable Bond (payable separately)” line for each property in the Booking Summary (Classic, Quiet Ledger and Two-Column Ledger layouts), a notice under the total making clear the bond is not included and the date it is payable by, and a reminder above the payment buttons.
- Improved: Dates that are unavailable because of a minimum-stay rule now show “Min Nights (N)” in the per-night rate strip (grid tiles, compact rows and card list) instead of “N/A”.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.1.2.
1.2.0
- New: BIF Availability Calendar block — a month grid showing booked vs. free nights for a single property, sourced live from the booking engine. Configurable property, months shown, optional month scrolling (browse up to 24 months with prev/next arrows), booked and available colours, available-cell fill, and a legend.
- New: /property-availability-calendar REST endpoint (property_id + months) that proxies the booking engine’s booked/available date ranges.
- New: “Hero with Booking Search” block pattern — a full-width hero with the BIF Availability Search built in, ready to drop onto a homepage (set the search’s target booking page in the block settings).
- Changed: Block display names are now consistently prefixed “BIF” — BIF Availability (was Book It Fast Availability), BIF Gift Certificate (was Book It Fast Gift Certificate), plus BIF Availability Calendar and BIF Availability Search.
1.1.0
- New: Configurable visual style per booking surface — Search Form, Available Properties, Booking Summary, Your Details, and Terms can each be set to one of five new design directions (Quiet Ledger, Warm Itemised, Editorial Receipt, Stacked & Removable, Two-Column Ledger).
- New: Search form supports an editable Check-out date that automatically derives the number of nights, with the classic Nights selector still available.
- New: Property image now appears in the booking summary thumbnail (Quiet Ledger direction) when available.
- New: Helpful in-place error message when no properties are configured or no check-in date is selected, replacing the previous silent fail.
- Improved: Search Form Style dropdown is now consolidated — Default (Stacked), Horizontal (Check-In & Nights), and all five new directions live in a single editor control.
- Improved: Available Properties Style dropdown is now consolidated — Card List, Grid Tiles, Compact Rows, and all five new directions in one editor control. Label renamed for clarity.
- Improved: Button text colour, button colour, and button icon are now reflected correctly in the block editor preview for every search-form variant.
- Improved: Date pickers and night selectors in the new search-form directions now have proper padding, hover states, and custom dropdown chevrons (no more browser-default chrome).
- Improved: Spacing below the search form so the booking flow no longer feels cramped against the property list.
- Security: Major dependency upgrade — @wordpress/scripts bumped to 32.x, @wordpress/icons bumped to 13.x, plus an overrides block in package.json that force-resolves seventeen flagged transitive dependencies (including axios, lodash, minimatch, tar, fast-uri, basic-ftp, immutable, svgo, webpack-dev-server, ws, postcss). Down from 42 reported vulnerabilities to 3 dev-only residuals.

- Replaced emoji icons with clean SVG icons throughout
- Added configurable corner radius for search box styling
- Improved typography with uppercase labels and refined spacing
