The disable specific dates functionality in the InputWP plugin allows you to exclude certain dates from being selected within the date picker. This can be useful if you have dates that are unavailable for scheduling events, such as holidays or maintenance periods.
How to use
- Accessing the Feature:
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
- Navigate to “InputWP” in the left-hand menu.
- Click on “All Events.”
- Locate the event for which you want to disable specific dates.
- Click on “View Details” under the “Date picker” section of the event.
- Adding Disabled Dates: On the event details page, within the “Date picker” section, look for the input field labeled “Disable specific dates” In this field, you can input the dates that you want to disable. Multiple dates should be separated by commas.
- Date Format: The dates you input should follow the same format as the one set in the “Date Format” functionality. This ensures consistency and accurate recognition of the dates.
- Disabling Dates: After entering the specific dates you want to disable, the date picker will automatically gray out these dates, making them unavailable for selection by users.
- Saving Changes: Once you have added the disabled dates, click on the “Update” button to save the changes you’ve made, including the list of disabled dates.
Advantages of Disabling Specific Dates
- Enhanced Event Management: By excluding specific dates from selection, you can manage events more effectively and ensure that scheduling aligns with your business needs.
- Transparent Date Availability: Disabling certain dates provides users with a clear understanding of which dates are off-limits for event scheduling, reducing confusion and errors.
By using the disable specific dates feature, you can tailor the date picker to accurately reflect the availability of dates for your events.
