Hi kidd_01,
Glad you were able to fix the CSS issue. It’s not possible to automatically approve the reservation through the web-based settings panel. In order to do this, you’ll need to have a bit of developer chops to write a small addon to modify the plugin behaviour.
If you’re up to the task, this can be accomplished by using the filters built into Restaurant Reservations. You’ll need to know how to write a small plugin that will hook into the main plugin. The rough-and-ready solution just requires one hook, rtb_insert_booking_data, where you can update the post status for new bookings (confirmed).
This will leave a few loose ends that you might want to clean up for your client, so you’ll also need to hook into rtb_notifications in order to disable the pending_to_confirmed notification and create a notification for when a confirmed reservation is rejected. Then you’ll probably want to hook into rtb_settings_page to remove the confirmed email template setting from the backend so they’re not confused.
It’s fairly easy if you know what you’re doing, but might be pretty difficult if you’re not familiar with PHP, how to write a WordPress plugin and the Hooks system in WordPress. If it’s important for your client, you can hire me to write the small plugin for you. Contact me through my website if you want to discuss this further.
