With version 1.5.2 of Simple Bike Rental Pro, and also for the free version, we have introduced a new optional layout for the frontend booking form, designed for those who want a more modern, clean, and optimized look for booking pages.
New attribute: layout=”centered”
The main shortcode now supports the new attribute:
[simpbire_bike_rental layout="centered"]
This new variant uses a centered layout with:
- Better distribution of horizontal space
- More balanced bike cards
- Centered, more readable form fields
- An improved experience on tablets and mobile devices
- A design better suited to modern landing pages and full-width sections
Of course, the standard layout continues to work as before:
[simpbire_bike_rental]
Improvements to the Split Layout
We have also improved the behavior of the default Split Layout. The left column of the form is now:
- more compact
- more visually balanced
- more in line with modern layouts
Previously, some users used custom CSS to manually reduce the width of the left column. With version 1.5.2, this is no longer necessary: the new behavior is now built directly into the plugin as the default Split Layout setting.
Compatibility
This change is fully backward-compatible: Existing shortcodes will continue to work without any changes.
The new centered layout is optional. No existing settings will be changed automatically.
The goal of this update is to make the plugin’s frontend more flexible and professional, while still keeping the plugin easy to integrate.
