Find solutions for common configuration issues, payment gateway mismatches, and timezone date shifts.
1. iCal Sync Offset Fix (One-Day Date Shift)
If bookings imported from Airbnb are shifted by one day on positive UTC offsets, ensure your WordPress timezone is set correctly under Settings > General. Ensure the custom plugin timezone matches your physical location.
2. Gateway Credentials Failure
If Stripe or PayPal transactions return API errors, verify that you are not using Sandbox credentials on Live mode (or vice-versa). Ensure SSL/HTTPS is active, as Stripe will refuse transactions on non-secured hosts.
3. Emails Not Delivering
If guests don’t receive booking confirmations, WordPress is likely using default mail() which gets blocked by spam filters. Install a standard SMTP plugin (e.g. WP Mail SMTP) and route notifications through a secure mail provider.
