The website must be accessible
Bookeo will check for the presence of the widget code in your website and it will not save the changes if it cannot find the widget code. If you want to integrate Bookeo into a website that is not accessible, please email our Support Team at support@bookeo.com and they will be able to assist you.WP Rocket Plugin
If you are using the WP Rocket plugin for caching, the options "Load JavaScript deferred" and "Combine JavaScript" of WP Rocket settings will conflict with the Bookeo plugin and prevent it from loading on the page.
To avoid conflicts, make sure to open the plugin settings and add bookeo.com to the list of exclusions under "Excluded JavaScript Files", for both options.
For instructions on how to change these settings please see https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/976-exclude-files-from-defer-js and https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/39-excluding-external-js-from-concatenation
You should then clean the cache of the plugin, following the steps here.
WordPress speed optimization plugins
If you are using a WordPress speed optimization plugin - such as Perfmatters, WP Fastest Cache, WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP-Optimize, Siteground, etc - you should make sure to disable any Javascript minifier/compressor, or at least exclude bookeo.com from the addresses that are optimized.
