Hello Bokster Comunity, I hope everything is going well! I’ve used the bookstore plugin and I am happy to use this plugin. However, I’ve faced some issues with using this plugin. The first thing is that when I’m approved for the pending appointments, I don’t receive any confirmation mail. The second thing is that when users want to change their profile image from the dashboard, there is no response. Thank you. Leon Bhuiyan

It’s easy to use & efficient. Hence, a must-have for anyone serious about improving their service availability. On admin view, the dashboard provides real-time analysis of WordPress appointments and agent rosters, helping admins and members to gain actionable insights and suggestions for improvement.
