Read the July 2025 digest to catch up on JetPlugins updates, expert tutorials, and special partner deals just for the Crocoblock community.

Hello, Crocoblock community! 

Even though it’s summer, we can’t stop releasing new features and improving the existing ones. Read about them in this digest, and, of course, try and enjoy them. 

Plugin Releases

JetBooking 3.8.0

Multi-Units Booking
You can now allow users to book multiple units in a single form. Works across all modes (Woo & Plain). The price is dynamically calculated based on the selected unit quantity. Orders now display unit details more clearly in both the checkout and admin dashboard.

Booking for Multiple CPTs
Assign multiple post types as a booking instance in the Wizard. Perfect for site setups with diverse listings.

Auto Status Switch for “On Hold”
A new setting to automatically switch the status of “on hold” bookings if payment is not completed. Set the interval to ensure blocked dates get released on time.
For developers working with complex property or rental flows, this update streamlines the process and improves front-to-back booking accuracy.

JetFormBuilder 3.5.2

JetFormBuilder 3.5.2 is now available, focusing on flexibility and smoother workflows for advanced use cases.

Insert/Update Term Action
Now you can dynamically create or update terms within a form submission. The term name supports both text and numbers, and works across selected taxonomies.
It works similarly to the Insert/Update Post action, but applies to terms.

Radio & Checkbox Field UI
The Custom options control for Radio and Checkbox fields is now more conveniently placed in the toolbar, featuring updated icons for better clarity.

Multi-Role Registration (3.5.1)
We added support for assigning multiple user roles during registration. It’s a powerful upgrade for membership and user management setups.
It may seem like a small update, but it delivers powerful backend flexibility for dynamic form setups.

JetAppointment 2.2.0

This update brings one of the most requested features for appointment management.

Two-Way Google Calendar Sync
Now your appointments can sync both ways between your site and Google Calendar.
Changes in your website calendar are automatically reflected in Google Calendar – and vice versa. Works for both admin and front-end forms.
This is the most flexible sync we’ve ever built.

Auto-Select Timeslot
If only one timeslot is available, it’s auto-selected to simplify the booking flow and reduce user steps.

Confirmation and Cancellation Deadlines
Set time limits for confirmation and cancellation links. You can now configure the time frame for a user to confirm or cancel their appointment in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.

Appointment Dashboard Access Control
Fine-tune who can access the JetAppointment dashboard.
Update to JetAppointment 2.2.0 and try these features in action.
