Track client attendance, manage session allowances, and give clients their own portal, all inside WordPress. No SaaS fees.

== Description ==

**Selling sessions but losing track of attendance?**

Attendra helps you manage clients, sessions, and attendance directly inside WordPress, without spreadsheets or expensive SaaS tools.

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.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I create a client? =

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.
