supportOur site (galleryexhibit.org) runs on GoDaddy, who also set up our WP installation. We cannot get Book a Room Event Calendar to behave because we do not believe that we have access to your plugin’s requirements in Event Settings, particularly DB Hostname / Username / Password / Prefix. The plugin looks like it will meet our needs splendidly…if we could only get it to work. By the way, the Book A Room Help is quite incomplete. Specifically, all instructions following this are identical jibberish: Amenities Admin Morbi porta nisi non urna cursus, nec cursus metus lobortis. Vestibulum et enim ante. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Duis eu porta nibh. Ut ac efficitur ante. Donec hendrerit vitae risus a placerat. Suspendisse aliquet, turpis vel varius accumsan, ante metus tristique magna, quis placerat lorem sapien in leo. Duis sed diam eget quam facilisis mollis quis nec ante. Mauris consectetur metus volutpat ex dapibus, egestas ornare magna interdum. Maecenas et ipsum cursus, scelerisque ante a, vehicula justo. Nulla rutrum enim eu nisi cursus, vitae laoreet neque pellentesque. Phasellus et nulla vel purus porta sagittis cursus vel nibh. Etiam eu massa in quam convallis iaculis eu ut odio. Hope you can help. Thanks. https://wordpress.org/plugins/book-a-room-event-calendar/
I understand that the documentation is sorely needing more work. I am trying to update it as I improve things. The DB information is probably the same information that you used to set up WordPress and should be available from your host or your cPanel if you have one. I can’t help you find it since every host is different. Your best bet is to contact them. I’m hoping (between my other duties, adding credit card processing, translations and updating the documentation) to merge this all into one plugin soon that can be configured to run in a split mode. This would require less setup but will take quite a bit of work on my end. I am a lone developer with other duties and I’m working as fast as I can to make things even better, so please bear with me!
We were able to locate this information in the WordPress directory. For examaple, our WordPress is installed into a directory named “home”: So when navigating to this folder, you should see folders for: home/wp-admin home/wp-content home/wp-includes * Note “HOME” is our folder name, your word press install folder may vary. Look for a file: wp-config.php (NOT wp-config-sample.php) Using FTP, you simply navigate to the word press home/install directory (could be WordPress) and locate WP-CONFIG.PHP. You can download a local copy, or simply open it with a file/text editor. {Be careful NOT to make changes!} ~ This file should contain the dBase name, DB Hostname / Username / Password you are using for this WordPress installation. The Prefix for this plug-in is “random/user choice”, encryption SALT if I remember correctly. I hope this is helpful. -s
