Previously, when a Last Minute or Advanced Purchase restriction was configured at the rate type level, IBE+ would return a blank page with no categories and no messaging — leaving guests with no indication of why nothing was showing.

Categories will now always be returned and displayed, even when a restriction applies. Where a rate restriction means a category is not bookable for the selected dates, it will appear with a No Availability banner so guests understand why they cannot book rather than seeing a blank screen.

Where multiple rates are assigned and only some have restrictions, the unrestricted rates and categories will continue to display as normal — only the restricted rate will be excluded from the results.
