Attendra – Class, Package & Attendance Manager

Attendra turns WordPress into the back office of a class-based business. Yoga and pilates studios, gyms, dance and music schools, tutors, therapists and coaches use it to know who is coming, who has paid and how many sessions every client has left — without spreadsheets and without a monthly SaaS bill. Everything lives in your own WordPress database. No external service, no account to create, no data leaving your server. New in 1.6

• Shared class passes – one credit balance usable across several classes (a "10 Class Pass"), with expiry, full or instalment payments and a payment history.
• Book a whole group at once – add several clients to a class in one go, from the admin or from the staff portal. Each person is billed by their own plan: credit, pay per session or free.
• No double-booked instructors – private sessions cannot overlap another activity of the same instructor.
• Six languages – English, German, French, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Italian and Romanian, fully translated.
• Safer updates – your attendance history is kept on every update (1.6.2 fixes a long-standing issue where updates turned attended sessions back into "confirmed").

What you can do with Attendra Attendance in one tap Today's Sessions shows every class of the day with its people. Mark attended, no-show or cancel, and credits update on their own. Look ahead at the next days with one click. Classes, workshops and private sessions Weekly group classes with a timetable and capacity, one-time workshops and events, and 1-to-1 appointments with free slots. Assign instructors, set a price per session and a reminder time per class. Appointments with a full history Every appointment has a status (pending, confirmed, attended, no-show, cancelled), a billing mode (package credit, pay per session or free) and a payment status. Create recurring series, reschedule, add notes for the client or internal notes for the team. Filter the list by upcoming, past, status or class. Session packages and payments Give each client a package per class or a shared pass across classes. Set an expiry date and a price (with discount), take the payment in full or in instalments and record each payment as it arrives. The client gets an email for each payment, when credits run low and when the package is used up. A no-show can use a credit, like a real attendance. A portal for every client One shortcode gives each client their own page: the next session, credits left, valid until, attendance history and upcoming appointments. "I'm coming" books a group class in one tap. Parents or companies paying for several people switch between them from the same account. An optional full-screen mobile layout makes it feel like an app. A portal for your team Instructors work from their phone: today's classes, attendance, and new appointments — including several clients into one class at once. They only see their own classes and clients. Managers get a separate role with access to the whole studio. Your timetable on any page Show the week by class or by weekday, with times, instructors and spots left, using one shortcode. Reporting Appointments, attendance, no-show and cancellation rates, active and new clients, revenue collected and still due, packages sold, unpaid sessions and packages running low — for any period. Export payments to CSV. Clients, imported in minutes Import clients (and services) from a spreadsheet, export them any time. Filter clients by credits left, keep phone, birthday and payer on every profile, archive the ones who left. Emails that go out on their own Confirmation, cancellation, rejection, no-show, payment due, reminder before the session (timing per class), package started, running low and used up, payment received and portal invitation — plus notifications for the admin and a daily schedule for each instructor. Every template is editable and uses your business name and contact details. Works with any SMTP plugin. Your words Call them Students instead of Clients, Classes instead of Services, Lessons instead of Sessions — the new names appear in the admin, the portals and the emails. Who is it for?

1.6.2

• Fix: updating the plugin no longer turns attended and "payment pending" sessions back into confirmed ones. Every earlier update had this problem; sessions changed by an earlier update need to be marked again.
• Fix: the package card on the client screen counts every used session, including no-shows that used a credit, manual entries and sessions recorded before 1.6.
• Fix: the client portal shows "Next session" again above the next appointment (it showed the sessions label).
• Fix: the Attendra main menu address opens the clients list (staff: appointments) instead of an empty page.
• Fix: Reporting shows the name of shared packages instead of "#0".
• New plugin name and a refreshed plugin page: Attendra – Class, Package & Attendance Manager.
