This tutorial addresses the challenge of creating an accurate price filter for apartment listings when using advanced pricing rules in JetBooking<\/em>. Since pricing can vary depending on the specific weekdays<\/a> and seasonal periods<\/a> with custom rates, a standard price filter may produce misleading results. We\u2019ll show how to set up a dynamic filter that reflects true prices based on the seasonal settings.<\/p>\n\n\n

Before proceeding with the tutorial\u2032s steps, create a backup or replicate the actions on the staging site. The backup ensures that the website can be restored if an error occurs. To learn more, proceed to the How to Backup and Restore a WordPress Website with a Plugin<\/a> article.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this case, the \u201cDate Range\u201d and \u201cRange\u201d filters must be created.<\/p>\n\n\n

Warning<\/div>

The \u201cRange\u201d filter for prices can work without a \u201cDate Range\u201d filter, but it still relies on date values. If none are selected, the current date is used by default. For accurate results, it is recommended to filter by date first, then by price.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, you can create a \u201cDate Range\u201d filter<\/a>, which can be done by following the How to Apply JetSmartFilters to Your Booking Website<\/strong><\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"date<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next, you need to create a filter for the price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the WordPress Dashboard > Smart Filters > Add New <\/em><\/strong>page again. Enter the Filter Name<\/strong> (e.g., \u201cPrice Range\u201d) and select the \u201cRange\u201d<\/a> Filter Type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general filter settings can be customized based on the specific values you intend to filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"price<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, for proper functionality and further processing, you should set the Query Variable<\/strong> parameter. This should be a unique key, such as \u2018_seasonal_price\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"query<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Save the filter settings by pressing the \u201cUpdate<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a Snippet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hook can be added either via a custom code snippets plugin (like Code Snippets<\/em><\/a>) or directly in your theme\u2019s functions.php<\/strong> file (preferably in a child theme to prevent changes from being overwritten on updates).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we install and activate the Code Snippets <\/em>plugin, then proceed to the WordPress Dashboard > Snippets<\/em><\/strong> tab and click the \u201cAdd New<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We type the hook name into the title bar (e.g., \u201cJetBooking – Price Filter Based on Selected Date Range\u201d) and enter such code into the Functions (PHP) <\/strong>textarea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
