Example usage: ``` [maxbookingwidget property="1234567" layout="vertical"] ``` Do I need to have a MaxBooking.com account to use this plugin? No, to use a booking widget on your website you don’t need to own a MaxBooking.com account. You can create a widget to search for accommodation on any MaxBooking.com property as long as you know the account ID. If you’re a property owner and want to set up a MaxBooking.com account, you can sign up for free here: [MaxBooking.com Signup](https://signup.maxbooking.com/) Where do I find the widget? You can add the widget to your website by navigating to “Appearance” -> “Widgets”. The configuration details are described in the installation instructions. How do I change the style of the widget? To ensure that the widget adopts the styles of the theme you’re using (font style, button style, input box style, etc.) the plugin itself contains only very basic styles. Unfortunately, it is impossible to set it up so that would perfectly match all WordPress themes that exists. However, the widget provides useful CSS classes that allow easy style customization. In WordPress version 4.7 and higher you can add your own CSS directly in the administration by going to “Appearance” -> “Customize”- > “Additional CSS”.
