How to Install and Activate Hotel Booking Pro

Hotel Booking Pro is a premium add-on for Hotel Booking Free Core. It is not a standalone booking plugin, so install and activate the Free Core before installing the Pro package.

System requirements

  • WordPress 6.5 or later
  • PHP 8.1 or later
  • Hotel Booking Free Core 3.1.0 or later within the 3.x release line
  • The Hotel Booking Pro ZIP package and a valid Kimora license

Before you begin

Create a current backup of your WordPress files and database. For a production website, test the installation on a staging site first. Confirm that your server meets the PHP requirement and that WordPress is up to date.

Install Hotel Booking Free Core

  1. Sign in to WordPress Admin.
  2. Install and activate Hotel Booking Free Core.
  3. Confirm that the installed Free Core version is 3.1.0 or later.
  4. Open the Hotel Booking menu once to allow the plugin to complete its initial setup.

Install Hotel Booking Pro

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
  2. Select Upload Plugin and choose the Hotel Booking Pro ZIP file.
  3. Select Install Now, then activate Hotel Booking Pro.
  4. Open Hotel Booking → License and enter your Kimora license key.
  5. Activate the license and confirm that the status is Active.

Verify the installation

After activation, confirm that the Hotel Booking administration screens load normally and that premium features such as advanced pricing, coupons, payments, the Customer Dashboard, invoices, OTA synchronization, and reviews are available. Clear any page cache or object cache if the new menus do not appear immediately.

If activation fails

Check the installation order, Free Core version, PHP version, and license status. Do not rename the hotel-booking-pro plugin directory or edit the Pro ZIP structure. If the issue continues, collect the WordPress Site Health information and the exact error message before contacting support.
