We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Dear Support Team,
I specifically chose not to include the event calendar on the homepage of my website (https://www.sodance.at/) because it rarely, if ever, loads correctly there. I suspect this issue arises because the homepage template is generated dynamically via PHP and combines several content sections (as is typical for the default Twenty Seventeen WP theme). Ideally, this should work seamlessly with a purchased tool, but I’ve accepted this limitation for now. Still, I would appreciate knowing if any improvements have been made on this front.
As a workaround, I created a dedicated page for the booking tool, where the event calendar loads somewhat better (though still very slowly). I’ve already maximized our hosting server's performance with help from our provider, so I know the issue is not related to server settings.
Now to my current issue: I would like to display relevant courses under each course listing using tags/keywords, so users can easily find and book them. However, this feature loads very slowly and is far from satisfactory.
I’ve already reduced the maximum number of displayed events to three and configured all settings according to your FAQ and support recommendations, but the performance remains poor.
What can be done to improve loading times?
Additionally, is it possible to create a simple hyperlink for direct event bookings, such as: <a href="LINKTOTHE_EVENT_BOOKING">Book here!</a>
Lastly, will it soon be possible to add status options (e.g., “Pending” or “Confirmed”) for group events in the standard version, similar to what’s available for individually scheduled events?
Thank you in advance for your support!
Best regards, Tobias Ortner
Hello Tobias,
Thank you for reaching out.
To improve the loading times, we suggest the following:
To create a direct booking link, you can use URL parameters starting from Amelia 7.4.2. For example:
For event booking:
You can use the following format to pre-select an event and open it in a popup:
https://yourbookingwebsite.com/events/?ameliaEventId=123&ameliaEventPopup=123
This will automatically open Event ID 123 and display it in a popup.
For booking a service:
To pre-select a specific service and employee:
https://yourbookingwebsite.com/booking/?ameliaServiceId=5&ameliaEmployeeId=1
This URL will pre-select Service ID 5 and Employee ID 1 on the booking form.
Here are the other URL parameters you can use:
You can combine these parameters to create more specific links based on your needs.
Let me know if you need further assistance!
Kind Regards,
Uros Jovanovic

Hello,
In between i have tryed the solution. But i am not happy at all.
At first, this does only work if the "normal" plugin is implementet on the special site anywere. It don't work at a site, were the [shortcut] isn't placed. So you must always switch to the site with the event-list tool.
Next.. when the PopUp is opened, it is opening slowly, there is an other Box above at the top, witch is not loading and lays bevor the top of the popup? Whats that? This could be also klicked away with the "x" at its rigt top corner? Picture attached.
Thurther i have installed a "Caching-Plugin" running and also aktiveted "External Scripts" this doesen't help anyway. It's very bad loading speed. I have also have spoken with my web-hosting-parter, the problem don't lies there. ;-( IF I HAVE pluged in more Shotcodes on one site... e.g. courses, here i have tryed for each course-cathegorie a separate event-list (filterd by the cat-TAG), would be nice if it didn't load or slowdown very bad.
-> so my alternative will be, open a new TAB with the pure EVENT-BOOKING site with the given parameters.
https://www.sodance.at/terminuebersicht-kurse/?ameliaEventTag=heels
here it would be better when the filter was set also in the forntend-plugin (evevntlist), after loaded the page with such a link-Paramenter, its not direkty recognizeable for the user that now a fiilter is set, and he/she don't can deaktivate the "filter" if he/she want to see the other courses without "filter".
i only use the tag-parameter -> then no popup jumps up and produces the shown bug and also saving loading time...
in this case the normal event-list is filtered "automatically" to the set TAG.
Are ther other ways to solve the problem with the popup? (on any page, also wthout shown event-list?)
Have thoght the paramenter -> https://www.sodance.at/angebot/?ameliaEventPopup=31 would work in this way but, thats surly not the case.
thanks for thurther help.
