Error while setting up the widget.

If you got the error "Seems the method cannot be found on your server. Possible reasons may include: PHP option 'allow_url_fopen' is not enabled, PHP CURL is not enabled. Please ask your hoster for support regarding absence of required methods."

  • Please check if your PHP has the necessary methods (allow_url_fopen and PHP CURL) on.
  • To check this, you can install PHP Settings plugin.
  • After you have checked and the necessary methods are Off, please contact your hosting provider and request activating them.
  • If those methods are On, there may be another reason that prevents SimplyBook.me plugin from displaying on your page, please contact our support and we will try to help you.


if you receive the message that Fatal error occurred when installing the plugin most likely you will need to update your PHP version, the preferable version is 5.3 and higher.

As a Widget

Please copy the code from Settings//Bookings on Webpage or Facebook//Booking widget for your own website//Save settings and Get code.

How to translate old version of WordPress plugin to your language



1) download plugin zip file from https://wordpress.org/plugins/simplybookme-online-appointment-scheduling-widget-and-booking-system/
2) uncompress this file
3) go to "/langs" folder
4) copy simplybook_me-en_US.po file with name "simplybook_me-sl_SL.po"
5) download PoEdit (program) https://poedit.net/ (Free)
6) open simplybook_me-sl_SL.po with PoEdit
7) save and update zip file with your translation file (Please note! Zip file structure should not be changed)
8) go to your WordPress dashboard, Plugins page and click on "Add new" at the top, then choose "Upload Plugin" and upload your zip file there.

If it does not work you need to apply translations via FTP - if you do not know how to do it please contact your web developer.
