The plugin opens a php session without closing it. This interferes with the Wordpess Rest Api and other PHP cURL calls. This is PHP programming 101 stuff here. Took deactivating all the plugins and manually adding them back to figure out that it was Simplybook's plugin that was affecting our site. Removed and site functioning not only as expected but much faster. "A PHP Session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with the REST API and loopback requests. This session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests." "The REST API request failed due to an error. Error: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed)"

Installed this plugin only to find out accessing API key required for plugin use requires an upgrade to simplybook subscription. A lot of simplybook subscriptions custom features are things that really should be included at basic subscription level. Kind of annoying.

It overall works, and it does help people who are not familiar with API connections simply get the booking form its server. However. According to the waterfall of developer tools, the requests sent from this plug-in are needed to be optimized better. But it doesn't seem that this plug-in is still being maintained.

Simple and great Plugin! very Easy to Understand it! Good Job ! 🙂 Keep it Up ! 🙂

It is working good. Thanks)

There is a quiet pointless preloader that takes over the entire screen removing the functionality of the rest of the page below the main navigation. So far custom css hacks arnt working and its current form this widget really is redundant. Developer needs to look into removing this or limiting the preloader to the containing element.
