Hydra Booking continues to evolve as one of the best appointment booking solutions for WordPress. With the 1.1.0 update, we are introducing a brand-new Frontend Dashboard, designed to simplify booking management by providing a modern, standalone interface separate from the WordPress backend.
This update also includes improvements in security, PayPal payment fixes, and streamlined access to booking settings, making Hydra Booking more efficient and user-friendly than ever.
🔹 What is the Hydra Booking Frontend Dashboard?
The Frontend Dashboard is a dedicated booking management interface that allows hosts and admins to handle bookings without needing to access the WordPress admin panel.
Instead of navigating through WordPress settings, users can now manage appointments, accept bookings, and configure settings in a modern and intuitive dashboard, much like a SaaS-based platform.
Why is this important?
- ✅ Faster and easier booking management for hosts and admins.
- ✅ A cleaner, distraction-free interface separate from WordPress.
- ✅ More efficient navigation for managing bookings and schedules.
With this update, Hydra Booking provides a more streamlined experience, improving both usability and productivity.
