WPYog Fleet – Booking Manager for Taxi, Cab & Travel Businesses

Live Demo: View Live Demo WPYog Fleet is a simple booking and vehicle operations plugin for WordPress, built for taxi operators, cab rental companies, tour agencies, transport businesses, and small travel companies. If you are still managing cab bookings in Excel, WhatsApp messages, paper registers, or scattered notes, WPYog Fleet gives you a simple WordPress-based system to record bookings, assign vehicles and drivers, track payments, manage advances, monitor pending balances, and record trip expenses. Unlike generic appointment booking plugins, WPYog Fleet is focused on the daily back-office workflow of transport businesses. A dedicated frontend staff panel is also included (via shortcode), so your booking staff can manage the same records from a normal WordPress page without needing access to the wp-admin dashboard.

Why Use WPYog Fleet? Many small transport businesses do not need a complex online booking engine at the beginning. They need a practical system to manage bookings received through phone calls, WhatsApp, agents, and repeat customers. WPYog Fleet helps you keep your operational records organized inside WordPress. With WPYog Fleet, you can manage:

• Who booked the trip
• Which vehicle is assigned
• Which driver is assigned
• How much the customer has paid
• How much balance is pending
• What expenses were added for the trip
• Current booking status
• Past booking history

Use Cases WPYog Fleet can be used for:

• Daily taxi booking management
• Outstation cab booking records
• Airport transfer bookings
• Tour package vehicle assignments
• Tempo traveller booking records
• Driver-wise trip tracking
• Vehicle-wise booking history
• Payment and pending balance tracking
• Internal booking management for travel businesses

Frontend Staff Panel Place the shortcode [wpyog_fleet] on any WordPress page to give your booking staff a full-featured panel without WordPress admin access. The panel is role-protected: only users with the Booking Staff role (or WordPress administrators) can access it. It includes the dashboard, bookings list and calendar, payments, expenses, WhatsApp/email sharing, vehicles, drivers, companies, and reports — mirroring the admin panel, with a mobile-responsive layout. Practical WordPress Plugin For Business Workflows WPYog Fleet is part of the WPYog plugin ecosystem by Poppins Digital. WPYog plugins are built for practical business workflows, helping organizations manage real operational needs directly from WordPress. Current WPYog plugins include:

• WPYog Team
• WPYog Docs
• WPYog News

User Roles

• Administrator (jtb_admin capability) — full access including hard-delete of payments, expenses, and bookings
• Booking Staff (jtb_manage capability) — full create/edit/void access; no hard-delete

Translation Ready A .pot file is included in the languages/ folder. The plugin uses the text domain wpyog-fleet. Database The plugin creates its own database tables on activation and runs automatic migrations when the version changes. No existing WordPress data is modified.

3.5.7

• readme.txt: moved the Live Demo link inside the Description section — it was placed between the tagline and the Description heading, which WordPress.org treats as page metadata (it got swallowed into the meta description as plain text instead of rendering as a link on the plugin page)
• No functional or visual changes — this is a readme/metadata-only release

3.5.6

• readme.txt: removed poppinsdigital from Contributors (not a valid WordPress.org username — was triggering an import warning); wpyog remains as the sole contributor
• readme.txt: added links to the other WPYog plugins (WPYog Team, WPYog Docs, WPYog News) in the "Practical WordPress Plugin For Business Workflows" section, and removed the plugin's own self-referencing entry from that list
• readme.txt: added a Live Demo link at the top of the readme
• No functional or visual changes — this is a readme/metadata-only release

3.5.5

• WordPress.org Plugin Review: replaced the "sanitized downstream" pattern (raw wp_unslash( $_POST ) passed into a save function, with per-field sanitization happening inside that function) with a new WPYOGFLEET_Input class that sanitizes every field individually and directly at the point it is read from $_POST, using sanitize_text_field()/sanitize_textarea_field() wrapped around each $_POST access. Applied across all 28 form/AJAX save paths for vehicles, drivers, companies, bookings, payments, expenses, and settings. The previous phpcs:ignore-suppressed pattern was correct in that data was genuinely sanitized before use, but reviewers cannot verify sanitization that happens inside a separately-called function — this update makes the sanitization visible and verifiable at the exact line the input is read, which is what WordPress.org requires
• No functional or visual changes — this is a code-quality and compliance release

3.5.4

• Frontend dashboard: Reports tab (By Driver, By Vehicle, By Customer/Booking Type) now defaults its date range to month-to-date (1st of current month through today), matching the wp-admin Reports page, instead of loading with a blank range that pulled all-time data

3.5.3

• Reports (Driver-wise, Vehicle-wise, By Customer/Booking Type) now default to month-to-date (1st of current month through today) instead of showing all-time data when no date filter has been applied yet

3.5.2

• WordPress.org Plugin Check: replaced phpcs:ignore suppression comments on read-only "saved/deleted/cleared" admin notices and the activity log pagination links with real nonce generation and verification (wp_create_nonce()/wp_verify_nonce()), since Plugin Check does not consistently honor inline suppression annotations for nonce-related warnings
• No functional or visual changes — this is a code-quality and compliance release

3.5.1

• WordPress.org Plugin Check: addressed NonPrefixedVariableFound notices in all admin view/template files with a documented justification — these files are only ever loaded via PHP include() inside the admin render method, so their variables are function-local, not real globals
• No functional or visual changes — this is a code-quality and compliance release

3.5.0

• WordPress.org review fixes: renamed all short "jtb" prefixed identifiers (constants, class names, capabilities, option and transient keys, nonce and AJAX action names, admin menu slugs, script handles) to a unique "wpyogfleet" prefix, per plugin review guidelines. Existing installations keep their settings and staff access automatically on upgrade — nothing needs to be redone.
• WordPress.org review fixes: every form submission is now explicitly unslashed before use, and all dynamic values are escaped at the point of output (previously some relied on internal escaping without an explicit call at the output line)
• No functional or visual changes — this is a code-quality and compliance release

3.4.1

• Google review WhatsApp button: added a direct "Google Review" WhatsApp button next to Customer/Driver/Ops in the Send/Share section (admin panel and frontend staff panel), in addition to the copy-text option
• Version bump to force browsers to load the latest staff-panel script (cache-busting)

3.4.0

• New: Google review requests — send a ready-made review-request message straight to WhatsApp, or copy the text, from the Send/Share section on any booking
• New: when a booking is marked Completed, a popup opens with the customer's name, mobile number, and an auto-generated review message, with a button to open WhatsApp and a checkbox to mark the review request as sent
• Bookings list and booking detail (admin panel and frontend staff panel) show a Review Request Sent / Review Request Pending badge for completed and closed bookings
• Settings: new "Google Review Requests" field to set your Google review link (used in the auto-generated message)

3.3.2

• Frontend staff panel: removed the background chip behind the booking date on the bookings list for a cleaner look

3.3.1

• By Customer/Booking Type report: added the Total row (bookings + amount) to the frontend staff panel, matching the admin panel
• "Open in new tab" icon on the bookings list is now bigger and always visible (previously only appeared on hover), in both the admin panel and the frontend staff panel, with touch-friendly sizing on mobile

3.3.0

• Reports fix: Monthly Summary now counts bookings by trip start date instead of booking-created date, matching the Driver-wise, Vehicle-wise and By Customer/Booking Type reports so all report tabs reconcile for the same period
• New booking status "Closed" — marks a trip as finished and fully paid; blocked while a balance is still due
• Bookings list: added a Sort by dropdown (Booking Date or Booking ID, newest/oldest) in both the admin panel and the frontend staff panel
• Bookings list: hover a booking row to reveal an "open in new tab" icon, so the detail view can be opened without leaving the list
• New Booking: added an Own Fleet / Outsourced toggle — outsourced trips let staff type the driver name and vehicle number directly instead of picking from the vehicle/driver database; these details are included in the customer, driver and ops messages

3.2.3

• Admin sidebar menu label shortened from "WPYog Fleet" to "Fleet" (icon + Fleet)

3.2.2

• By Customer / Booking Type report (admin): Bookings and Total Booking Amount columns are now left-aligned. Other tables in the plugin are unaffected.

3.2.1

• By Customer / Booking Type report: added a Type filter (All / Corporate / Individual) in both the admin panel and the frontend staff panel

3.2.0

• Monthly Summary report: added Total Booking – Corp Customer and Total Booking – Individual Customer stat boxes

• Updated plugin slug, text domain, and admin menu labels to WPYog Fleet
• Renamed frontend staff panel shortcode from [wpyog_travels_booking] to [wpyog_fleet]
• Updated readme, descriptions, tags, and FAQ for the new branding

• Corporate bookings: added Booking ID / PO Reference field
• Bookings list: corporate bookings now show company name + passenger name
• Booking detail: customer/passenger info shown for all booking types (individual and corporate)

• Reports: added Corporate vs Individual booking type breakdown table in monthly summary
• Payments and expenses: soft-void with reason (preserves financial history); edit existing records with audit note
• Advance payment: added payment mode and received-by fields

3.0.5
