The booking window set to 1 prevents creating a booking

Bug Reports

Hello HivePress Support,

I am experiencing an issue with the booking system when configuring a listing as follows:

  • Booking Offset: 1 (so only tomorrow should be bookable)
  • Booking Window: 1 (limit booking to one day)
  • Booking Available From/To: 8:00 → 20:00
  • Booking Days: Monday → Sunday
  • Booking Requests: Manually accept

When I try to submit a booking for tomorrow, I get the following error:

“The end date can’t be later than August 25, 2025.”

I have already tried the following:

  1. Changed the listing Expiration Date to 31/12/2030 → did not solve the issue.
  2. Verified the booking settings on the listing.
  3. Ensured Offset and Window are correct.
  4. Considered temporarily increasing the Booking Window to 2 or 3 days, which works, but I need the strict 1-day-only booking.

It seems that the plugin is enforcing a maximum booking end date internally (25 August 2025) that prevents the Offset=1 + Window=1 combination from working correctly.

Could you please advise how to allow booking only for tomorrow while avoiding this error?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for the details. This requires a bit more testing, I passed the issue to developers and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi,

The bug is confirmed, there seems to be an inconsistency in the front-end and back-end window checks (in the date picker and the booking redirect). Please let me know if you considered switching to daily bookings if there’s only one slot per day, if this is the case the daily bookings may work with the window restriction.

We’ll also fix this in the next Bookings extension update.
