The WordPress appointment booking and client management plugin built for service businesses.
Attendra lets you manage clients, appointments, session packages and attendance directly inside WordPress — without spreadsheets, without SaaS fees, and without handing your data to a third-party platform.
If you run a gym, fitness studio, tutoring center, therapy practice, coaching business or any service where clients buy sessions in packages, Attendra gives you a complete workflow in one place.
No monthly fees. No external platforms. Your data stays on your server.
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Personal trainers and fitness studios</li>
<li>Yoga, pilates and wellness studios</li>
<li>Tutors, language schools and learning centers</li>
<li>Therapists, psychologists and coaches</li>
<li>Consultants and 1-to-1 service providers</li>
<li>Sports clubs and after-school programs</li>
<li>Any business that sells services by session or package</li>
</ul>
<h4>Core Features</h4>
Appointment booking and scheduling 
Create and manage private 1-to-1 appointments. Assign a client, service, staff member, date and duration. Track status from Pending through Confirmed, Attended or Cancelled. Full lifecycle with automated email notifications at every step.
Session packages and entry tracking 
Sell sessions in packages. Each client gets a configurable number of entries per service. When a session is attended, entries are deducted automatically. Low-package and exhausted-package alerts are sent by email.
Attendance tracking without spreadsheets 
Log sessions directly from the admin or let staff mark attendance from the frontend. Always see how many sessions each client has used and how many remain.
Automated email notifications 
Booking confirmed, cancelled, rejected, no-show, pending payment, reminder before the appointment, package running low, package exhausted, new package started — all triggered automatically, to the client and optionally to admin and staff. Customize every template directly in Settings. Emails include client notes if you add them to the appointment.
Client portal 
Each client gets a personal portal page where they can see their upcoming appointments, remaining sessions, attendance history and package status. No extra plugin needed.
Staff portal 
Give staff a clean frontend page to mark attendance without touching wp-admin. Fully scoped to assigned services and clients only.
Public booking calendar 
Display your schedule on any page with <code>[attendra_public_calendar]</code>. Visitors can see available sessions and request bookings.
Reporting dashboard 
See occupancy rate, no-show rate, revenue collected, most booked services, active clients and packages running low — for any date range you choose.
Recurring appointment series 
Create a recurring appointment series for a client with a single action. Manage the whole series or individual sessions.
Appointment rescheduling and cancellation rules 
Reschedule any appointment from the admin editor or staff portal — change the date, time, or service. Set a limit on how many times a booking can be rescheduled, and a late cancellation window (e.g. no cancellations within 24 hours of the session). Both are configured in Settings → Booking.
Group booking with capacity limits 
Group services (Weekly / One-time) support a configurable maximum number of bookings per session. When the limit is reached, the slot is closed automatically. Useful for group classes, workshops, or any fixed-capacity event.
Package expiration dates 
Each client package can have an optional expiration date. When the package expires, new sessions are blocked automatically.
Appointment notes 
Attach client-facing notes to any appointment — these appear in the confirmation and reminder emails. Internal notes are also available for admin-only observations that are never sent to the client.
Client attendance confirmation 
Clients can confirm attendance from the portal (“I’m coming”) for upcoming group sessions. This creates a confirmed booking and removes the slot from the available list.
Mobile-first Staff and Client portals 
The Staff Portal and Client Portal support a dedicated mobile template that removes the theme header and footer, giving both portals a full-screen, app-like layout. Apply it with one click from the Setup Guide or Settings → Mobile Template. Works across all themes without customization.
CSV client import 
Import clients in bulk from a spreadsheet using the provided template. Optionally create WordPress portal accounts automatically.
<h4>Flexible Pricing and Payment Tracking</h4>
Set a base price per session on each service. Per-client package pricing supports custom discounts and package totals. Every booking snapshots the effective price at the moment of creation so your records stay accurate even when you adjust pricing later.
Packages support full payment or split installments. Track how much has been paid, how much is still outstanding, and confirm individual payments directly from the client profile. A “Payment received” email is sent to the client automatically when each payment is confirmed.
<h4>Customizable Labels</h4>
Rename “Client”, “Service”, “Package” and “Session” to match your business language. Settings are available under Attendra > Settings > Labels.
<h4>Your Data, Your Server</h4>
Attendra is fully self-hosted. No API calls to external services, no subscription required, no SaaS lock-in. All data is stored in your own WordPress database.

Client Power Tools is built for designers, developers, consultants, lawyers, and other independent contractors and professionals. Give your clients a dashboard where they can check on the status of their project, access information and resources in your clients-only knowledge base, view other clients-only pages, and communicate with you—right on your own website!
<h3>Frontend onboarding & login</h3>
All client interactions happen on the front end of your website, with clean modal forms for logging in—without a password! Client Power Tools will simply blend in with most themes.
<h3>The client dashboard</h3>
Clients can log in to their dashboard on your website at any time.
The dashboard uses regular WordPress pages, so you can add your client dashboard to your menus just like any other page. Or you can include a link to it anywhere you need to, like your blog posts, email newsletters, etc. The only difference is that the client dashboard is only visible to logged-in clients.
You can change the name or permalink of the default dashboard page, or select a different page entirely.
<h3>Modules</h3>
Each module can be enabled or disabled independently of the rest.
<h4>Projects & stages module</h4>
Now you can assign multiple projects to each client, create multiple project types with stages to keep track of your project progress with your clients.
You can change the project label to whatever you prefer (files, matters, dossiers, schemes, capers, etc.) and it will be reflected throughout. The new progress bar provides you and your clients with a visual indicator of each project’s progress.
<h4>Knowledge base module</h4>
The knowledge base is a clients-only page—or a collection of pages—that you can use to share information and resources with your clients.
Just like the client dashboard, the knowledge base is a regular WordPress page with some special features. You can add as many child pages as you like—the knowledge base tab will use a drop-down index and breadcrumb navigation to help your clients find their way around.
<h4>Status update request button module</h4>
Your clients want to know how things are going!
The status update request button on the client dashboard makes it easy for clients to prompt you for a status update. Once a client clicks the button, they won’t see it again for 30 days—or you can change that number to an interval that works for you.
You can designate an additional email address to receive all status update requests so you can respond efficiently.
<h4>Messages module</h4>
Using Client Power Tools to communicate with your clients keeps all your messages in one place so nothing gets lost.
When you send a message to your client, they will receive an email notification with a link to their client dashboard so they can read it and reply. Or you can send them the full message—by default or on a message-by-message basis.
<h3>Customization</h3>
Client Power Tools is built to be customizable where you need it to be. Here are some of the things you can change to suit your needs:
<ul>
<li>Enable/disable all non-core modules. (As of 1.4, the non-core modules are the Status Update Request Button, Messaging, and Knowledge Base.)</li>
<li>Customize project labels. Some people have projects, others have files, matters, dossiers, schemes, capers, etc. You can use whatever label you prefer, and it will be reflected throughout Client Power Tools.</li>
<li>Project types & stages. Add project types, and for each type specify the stages you want your client to be able to see on their progress bar.</li>
<li>Additional pages. Restrict any page on your website to logged-in clients.</li>
<li>New-client email. You can customize the email sent to newly added clients so that it reflects the name, email address, subject line, and messaging you prefer.</li>
<li>Client IDs. When adding or updating a client, you can add a custom client ID.</li>
<li>Client statuses. You can customize the default statuses (potential, active, inactive).</li>
<li>Client managers. You can set a default client manager and assign a different client manager to each client.</li>
<li>Show/hide the status update request button. The status update request button is a great way to empower your clients, but if you don’t want to use it you can turn it off.</li>
<li>Status update request frequency. Change how often the status update request button is available to your clients.</li>
<li>Status update request recipient. Designate one person to get notified of all status update requests.</li>
<li>Email notifications. By default, Client Power Tools sends a notification, not the content of your message. But you can change the default behavior or override it for individual messages.</li>
<li>Design. The front-end design of Client Power Tools is as minimal as possible so that Client Power Tools blends into your existing theme. But you can override the Client Power Tools styles as long as you know a little CSS.</li>
</ul>
