If you run a gym, studio, tutoring center, therapy practice, or any service-based business, you already know the pain: – Who still has sessions left? – Who showed up last week? – Which clients expired or ran out? Attendra gives you a clean, structured workflow built for real-world use. No monthly fees. No external platforms. Your data stays yours. #### Who is this for? * Personal trainers and fitness studios * Tutors and learning centers * Therapists and wellness coaches * Sports clubs and after-school programs * Any business that sells services in sessions or packages #### What you can do **Track attendance without spreadsheets** Log sessions in seconds and always know how many entries each client has left. **Manage clients and services in one place** Assign services, track allowances, and keep everything organized inside WordPress. **Give clients their own portal** Clients can log in and see their remaining sessions, services, and full attendance history. **Let staff mark attendance without wp-admin** Staff users get a clean frontend interface to mark attendance quickly and safely. **Display your schedule publicly** Use a shortcode to show your services and schedule on your website. ### Developer Notes To regenerate translation template: wp i18n make-pot . languages/attendra.pot – exclude=assets,vendor,node_modules –slug=attendra ## Screenshots * [[ * Easy onboarding: set up your attendance system in minutes. * [[ * Service setup: configure schedules, service details, and staff assignment. * [[ * Client setup: create users, assign services, and track attendance. * [[ * Calendar settings: switch between views and control how your schedule is displayed. * [[ * Customize labels and settings: adapt Attendra to your business by renaming labels and controlling features. * [[ * Attendance tracking: quickly mark attendance and track session usage for every client. * [[ * Calendar view: display your schedule in a clean, easy-to-read layout across desktop and mobile. * [[ * Client portal: give clients full visibility over their sessions, progress, and upcoming classes. ## Installation 1.

Go to **Clients** in wp-admin and create a new record. Add the client name, set payer type, assign services, then update. ### How do I assign services? Edit a client and use **Assigned Services** to select one or more services. Save the client to apply changes. ### How does session tracking work? In the client edit screen, use **Session Activity** to add one session at a time for each assigned service. When a session is added, remaining entries are recalculated automatically. ### Can sessions be deleted? Yes. Active sessions can be soft-deleted with a required reason (and optional note). Deleted sessions remain in history and do not consume entries. ### How do entries and expiration work? Entries represent how many sessions can still be used for a specific service on a specific client. Expiration date defines the validity limit for that allowance record. ### What does Reset Sessions do? Reset Sessions starts a new cycle for that client service pair. It resets completed sessions for the package cycle and restores available entries after confirmation. ### Why can I not remove a service from a client? If there are session records tied to that client service pair, unlink is blocked to preserve history consistency. ### Why is a service not visible in the public calendar? Check these first: – Service is active – Show in calendar is enabled – Schedule is valid and complete – Date range includes current period (if date limits are set) ### How does staff access work? Staff users only see services assigned to them and clients linked to those services. Staff can mark attendance from the frontend using the `[attendra_staff_portal]` shortcode. ### What is the staff portal? Staff portal is a frontend attendance interface designed for fast use during classes. * Purpose: mark attendance without opening wp-admin. * Shortcode: `[attendra_staff_portal]`. * Access: users with role `attendra_staff`, administrators, and users with `attendra_manage_clients`. * Design: mobile-first layout with service scoped access checks on server side. ### Can I customize portal, staff portal, and calendar pages? Yes. The plugin supports custom page IDs via options: – `attendra_portal_page_id`–` attendra_staff_portal_page_id` – `attendra_calendar_page_id` If not set, it falls back to default slugs. ### What happens on uninstall? The plugin removes its roles, capabilities, and settings option. Client/service data is deleted only if **Delete data on uninstall** is enabled in plugin settings. ### Is this plugin WordPress.org friendly? The plugin is WordPress-native and includes nonce/capability checks, sanitization/ escaping in admin flows, uninstall cleanup controls, and translation-ready strings with the `attendra` text domain. ### Does this plugin require WooCommerce? No. Attendra runs as a WordPress-native workflow and does not require WooCommerce. ### Can I rename labels like Client or Service? Yes. Go to **Settings > Attendra** and customize labels for client, service, and package/session wording. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Attendra – Client Attendance Manager” is open source software.
