FAQ

No. The plugin controls which dates and times appear as selectable in the datepicker. It does not store form submissions or automatically remove a time slot after someone books it — your form plugin (Contact Form 7, etc.) handles submissions independently. To block a date after it has been taken, add it manually to the Blocked Dates list. For automated booking management and double-booking prevention, a dedicated booking plugin is needed alongside this one.
