Description
MotionHub.Studio is the official WordPress companion for the MotionHub.Studio platform, a hosted studio-management service for dance and fitness studios. Connect your studio from your WordPress dashboard, jump to your studio admin with one click, and drop your booking and class components onto any page with a block or a native WordPress shortcode.
Manage your studio
- An Overview page in your dashboard with one-click links into your full studio admin — schedule, customers, packages, settings and more. The admin opens securely on the MotionHub.Studio site in a new tab (it is never embedded in wp-admin).
- One-click setup wizard to create or connect your studio.
Add components to your pages — blocks or shortcodes
Every component works two ways: as a block in the MotionHub.Studio block category (drag it in, pick options in the sidebar), or as a native shortcode you can paste anywhere. See the full list under Shortcodes below.
- Calendar — your class schedule, with view, filters and card options.
- Booking form — inline or as a button + modal.
- Packages — grid or list, grouping, and field toggles.
- Classes, Categories, Instructors, Events.
- Customer account — sign in and self-service.
A MotionHub.Studio account is required for this plugin to work. See External services below.
Shortcodes
Every component is available as a native WordPress shortcode — paste it into any post, page or widget. The studio connection is detected automatically, so there are no IDs or keys to enter. Each shortcode also has a matching block in the MotionHub.Studio block category, where you can pick categories, classes and instructors by name and set every option from the sidebar.
[motionhub_calendar]— your class schedule. Common options:view(day, week, month),card_size,show_instructor,show_availability,min_height. Optional filters:category,service,employee.

External services
This plugin relies on the MotionHub.Studio platform (a third-party hosted service). The plugin will not function without it.
- Service: MotionHub.Studio — a hosted platform for managing dance & fitness studios.
- Endpoint:
https://app.motionhub.studio - Studio admin: your full studio admin lives on
https://app.motionhub.studio. From the plugin’s Overview page you open it with one click — the plugin exchanges your connection key for a short-lived token and opens the admin in a new browser tab on the MotionHub.Studio site. The admin screens are not embedded in your WordPress dashboard. - Page components: the booking/calendar/packages blocks and shortcodes load the platform’s component script
https://app.motionhub.studio/js/embed.js, which renders the component using your studio slug and a publishable embed key. - Data sent: your connection key and the signed-in user’s email (to authenticate), plus the parameters of the component being shown (e.g. which class, category or service). No customer payment details pass through your WordPress site.

Installation
- Install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen, or upload it to
/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate it. The setup wizard opens automatically.
- Create or connect your studio in the wizard.
- Edit any page and add a MotionHub.Studio block, or paste a shortcode such as
[motionhub_calendar], where you want a component to appear. The connection is detected automatically — there is nothing else to configure.
FAQ
-
Do I need a MotionHub.Studio account?
-
Yes. The plugin is the WordPress front end for the MotionHub.Studio hosted platform; you connect it to your studio account.
-
Does customer card data pass through my WordPress site?
-
No. Payments are processed by the studio’s configured payment gateway; card details go directly from the customer’s browser to that gateway and never touch your WordPress server.
-
How do I add a component to a page?
-
Two ways, whichever you prefer: insert a block from the MotionHub.Studio category (for example “MotionHub: Calendar”) and set its options in the sidebar, or paste the matching shortcode such as
[motionhub_calendar]. Both render the same component. See Shortcodes for the full list.
