„Not the "Insert Image" button in the editor, but a separate signature logo.

3. In the signature, the placeholder {{logo}} Place it in the desired location.
4. Save the settings and make a test booking.

Accepted formats are PNG, JPEG and GIF. SVG and WebP will be
not supported because they do not work in some email clients, especially Outlook,
displayed correctly. If no valid logo is selected,
{{logo}} replaced with an empty value in the signature.

The placeholder is used only in Your email signature replaced. In the general
Text additions to customer emails remain {{logo}} plain text.

stand.

Common Pitfalls

• „Clear WP2Amparex Cache" – if you have stores, employees, categories
  or make changes to templates in Amparex, but the front end still displays the old versions,
  see Clear Cache and Diagnostics.
• „Check for plugin updates now" – when a new WP2Amparex release
  has been released, but it doesn't appear in the WordPress Updater yet
  displays. The button only rechecks the EDD update channel and does not delete any
  Amparex data.
• No available slots visible – a common configuration issue in Amparex
  (Employees not authorized to make online reservations, incorrect
  Resource descriptions, missing branch assignments).
• Confirmation emails are not being received – check whether WordPress is even
  Emails sent (e.g., using the „WP Mail Logging" plugin); WP2Amparex uses
  the WordPress email feature.
