FAQ & troubleshooting
Can’t log in to Admin?
Make sure you’re opening the admin link: ?bungalow=YOUR-SLUG&admin=1. Check the password in Settings (you can reset it from Master if needed).
Why can’t I add bookings or expenses?
The subscription might be expired. Renew from Master or contact support.
My bungalows aren’t grouped together.
Set the same owner Email and/or Mobile in Settings on your Primary bungalow and save once. Older bungalows with the same admin password are also auto‑linked.
Where do I change the site name or chart height?
Admin → Settings. These are per‑bungalow settings.
