Copy the short code from there and paste it where you want to display the widget.

If you want to allow guests to search by certain criteria:

• first create the search criteria in (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > MULTI BOOKING PAGE > SEARCH CRITERIA then go to (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > MULTI BOOKING PAGE >PROPERTY SETTINGS and assign the applicable criteria to each property
• Once you have set and assigned your search criteria you can go to (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > BOOKING WIDGETS. Set PROPERTY = ALL and design your widget, ensuring that you change "Search Filter" to show the search criteria in your booking widget.
• Generate the code for the widget and paste it into the source code (Set the Wordpress editor to "Text") where you want to display the widget.

Booking Button, Booking Link[editar]

Booking Button, Booking Link are inserted via these short codes:

• Booking button: [beds24-button]
• Booking link: [beds24-link]

Paste it where you want to display the widget on your Wordpress page.

For customization options for the buttons and links see the "Booking Widgets" section in SETTINGS > Beds24 in Wordpress.
