Frequently asked questions

Panda Multi ResortsMulti Resorts Add-onPanda ResortPanda Resort Add-onPandao CMS ProActiv'Map

Panda Multi Resorts

Why won't the installation wizard open, or why do all pages show “Not found”?

Check that the .htaccess files were uploaded. They are hidden, so enable “show hidden files” in your FTP client. If they are present, ask your host to enable mod_rewrite and allow .htaccess files with AllowOverride All. On IIS, URL Rewrite uses the web.config file.

Why do I get a blank page or a “500 error”?

Check that your PHP version and extensions meet the requirements, then look at the PHP error log in your hosting panel. To display the error temporarily, add define('PMS_DEBUG', 1); to config/config.php. Remove it once you have identified the issue.

Why is the Multi Resorts menu missing after my first login?

Open Extensions and click Enable for Panda Multi Resorts. The message shown at your first login explains why the extension could not be enabled.

Why are e-mails not being delivered?

Enter your mailbox’s SMTP settings in Settings › Email settings and use a sender address on your own domain. Check the recipient’s spam folder too. SPF and DKIM records for your domain help improve delivery.

Why does an online payment fail or not appear in the booking?

Your site must use HTTPS. Both Stripe keys must be in the same mode: test or live. The webhook must be configured for checkout.session.completed and checkout.session.expired. For PayPal, the Sandbox setting must match your application credentials.

Why are unpaid bookings not cancelled or calendars not updated?

Automatic tasks are not running on time. Check synchronisation on the Diagnostic screen and set up the cron job it recommends. See Automatic tasks for details.

Why is my availability not updating on a booking platform?

Each platform refreshes imported calendars on its own schedule, so changes may not appear immediately. Check that you have supplied the calendar URL for the correct room and that your site is accessible over HTTPS.

Do guests pay in their own currency?

No. Converted prices are shown for reference only. Guests pay in the site’s main currency, as stated on the booking page.

Can I upgrade from Panda Multi Resorts 8 without losing my data?

Yes. Install version 9 alongside your current site with a new, empty database, then run the importer. It transfers settings, properties, rates, bookings, accounts with their passwords, pages and media without modifying the old site. Follow the step-by-step documentation.

Can I add the booking engine to my existing Pandao CMS 8 website?

Yes. Multi Resorts Add-on provides the same engine separately for websites running Pandao CMS 8.2 or later. Booking features appear for visitors only when you publish your first property.

Multi Resorts Add-on

Do I need Pandao CMS?

Yes. Multi Resorts is an extension for websites running Pandao CMS 8.2 or later. Pandao CMS Pro is sold separately. For both products in one download, with a shared installation wizard, choose Panda Multi Resorts.

Will it change my website?

On an existing site, the add-on leaves your pages, articles, menus, logo and contact details in place and does not install demo content automatically. Booking pages, menu entries and home page blocks appear when you publish your first property. The dashboard offers options to create a property or install the demo catalogue to try it.

Do I need the add-on if I already own Panda Multi Resorts?

No. Version 9 is a free update for existing Panda Multi Resorts buyers and already includes Pandao CMS. Download it from your Downloads page on CodeCanyon. You can import a version 4 to 8 site, including bookings and customers, by following the upgrade procedure.

Can I remove it later?

Yes. Disable it on the Extensions page. With Pandao CMS 8.2.1 or later, its pages are automatically removed from menus, the sitemap and search, and its blocks disappear from your pages. With Pandao CMS 8.2.0, unpublish them as described in the documentation.

How do I move my version 7 site to version 8?

Install version 8 alongside your version 7 site, on the same hosting account, with a new, empty database. Open Settings › Database › Import a Pandao CMS 7 site to transfer content, accounts, media and settings while preserving page URLs. The importer only reads the old site and does not change it. Follow the step-by-step documentation.

How can I find the cause of a problem?

Open the Diagnostic screen in the admin panel. It checks PHP, the database, the server and automatic tasks, then provides a report you can paste into your support request. The report contains no passwords. See Diagnostic for details.

Can my Pandao CMS website accept property bookings?

Yes. Install Panda Resort Add-on for a single hotel, resort or guest house, or Multi Resorts Add-on for several properties, through the Extensions page. Both add rooms, rates, online bookings and payments, calendar synchronisation and guest reviews. Your existing content stays in place; booking pages and blocks appear when you publish your first property.

Activ'Map

Why does the map not load, with an API key error in the console?

Google Maps requires an API key. Create one in the Google Cloud console with the Maps JavaScript API and Places API enabled, then add it to the Google Maps script as shown in the plugin documentation.

Why are no markers displayed?

With request: 'strict', a place must match every selected filter. Check that there are places in the selected categories and that no dropdown is left on its default value.
