Bookly Special Days (Add-on) 5.3

Bookly Special Days (Add-on) helps WordPress sites manage real-world availability by letting you define a special schedule for individual staff members. It’s designed for situations like holidays, events, or temporary changes when regular working hours don’t apply. You can include breaks within these special days to reflect downtime accurately. This add-on overrides each staff member’s default schedule and even their days off, preventing mismatches between what clients see and what staff can do. The result is smoother booking flow and more reliable availability in your Bookly-powered scheduling experience.

Main Features

• Special schedule per staff member — Set different working hours for specific team members without changing the base schedule.
• Includes break times — Add pauses during special days to reflect periods when bookings can’t be handled.
• Overrides regular working hours — Special day settings replace the default schedule for the selected staff member.
• Overrides days off — Even marked days off can be superseded by the special day configuration.
• Day-specific availability — Control what clients can book on particular dates, not just general weekly hours.
• Fits within Bookly scheduling — Works alongside your existing Bookly setup to keep staffing logic consistent.
• Streamlined client booking experience — Improves appointment availability accuracy by aligning bookings with real-time staff plans.
• Easy WordPress integration — Designed to integrate smoothly with your WordPress booking workflow using the Bookly plugin.
