Description
Obydullah Fitness Content Manager holds the dynamic content for a fitness or personal training website. You manage hero slides, services, testimonials, and pricing plans in wp-admin, and booking requests arrive from your front-end form into a dedicated admin list.
The content lives in the plugin, not in a theme, so it survives a theme change. Settings are stored in wp_options rather than theme_mod() for the same reason.
What it does
- Hero slides — a private post type for the homepage carousel. Each slide carries a subtitle or badge, description, and two buttons with their own text and URL.
- Services — a private post type for your service offerings. Title and description come from the post itself, plus an icon field that accepts an emoji or a Font Awesome class.
- Testimonials — a private post type for client reviews. Each entry has a quote, a role or result label, a 1 to 5 star rating, and a result caption.
- Pricing plans — a private post type for pricing cards, with price, billing period, a newline-separated feature list, a custom button label, and a flag to highlight one plan as the popular choice.
- Bookings — front-end form submissions stored in a custom database table. The admin list supports search by name or email, per-status filters with counts, pagination, inline status changes, and deletion.
- Admin dashboard — a single card grid under one top-level menu, linking to each content type and to settings.
- Site settings — contact details, social links, two about paragraphs, coach name and title, certifications, specialties, three stat blocks, and an aggregate rating. All stored in
wp_options.
Design choices
- Content outranks posts. All four content types are private custom post types, so they inherit WordPress revisions, media handling, scheduling, and the block editor. Featured images work as expected.
- Bookings use a custom table. Form submissions are high-volume write-once data with no need for revisions or taxonomy, so they go to a
{prefix}ofcm_bookingstable instead of the posts table. This keeps the posts table clean and booking queries fast as submissions accumulate. - No external services. The plugin loads no remote fonts, scripts, or styles, and makes no outbound HTTP requests. It sends no usage or telemetry data.
- Prefixed everything. Functions, hooks, meta keys, options, nonces, and the custom table all use the
ofcm_prefix, so the plugin cannot collide with your theme or another plugin. - Admin-only content. Every post type registers with
public => false. Nothing added through this plugin is publicly queryable, and the booking table is never exposed to the front end.
Installation
- Go to Plugins Add New, search for “Obydullah Fitness Content Manager”, or upload the plugin zip.
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
- Activation creates the
{prefix}ofcm_bookingsdatabase table. - Open Obydullah Fitness Content Manager and add content using the dashboard cards.
- Set your contact and about details under Obydullah Fitness Content Manager Site Settings.
Using the booking form
The booking form is a fetch() request to admin-ajax.php. Your front-end form needs to append two fields:
actionwith the valueofcm_submit_bookingnoncefromwp_create_nonce( 'ofcm_booking_nonce' ), passed to your script withwp_localize_script()
The handler accepts name, email, phone, goal, and message. Name and email are required; everything else is optional. The response is a JSON object — on success the message is in the data property of the payload, and on failure the payload is an error with a data string explaining what went wrong.
For theme developers
Content is read with the standard WordPress APIs. Query the post types directly, or read meta with the prefixed keys:
ofcm_hero_slide—ofcm_slide_subtitle,ofcm_slide_description,ofcm_slide_btn_text,ofcm_slide_btn_url,ofcm_slide_btn2_text,ofcm_slide_btn2_urlofcm_service—ofcm_service_iconofcm_testimonial—ofcm_testimonial_quote,ofcm_testimonial_role,ofcm_testimonial_rating,ofcm_testimonial_resultofcm_pricing—ofcm_pricing_price,ofcm_pricing_period,ofcm_pricing_features,ofcm_pricing_popular,ofcm_pricing_btn_text
Settings are read with get_option() using keys such as ofcm_contact_email, ofcm_social_instagram, ofcm_about_coach_name, and ofcm_about_stat1_number.
Bookings are read from the table with $wpdb. Always use prepare():
$rows = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT id, name, email, status FROM {$table} WHERE status = %s ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT %d", $status, 20 ) );
FAQ
-
Where is my data stored?
-
In your own WordPress database on your own hosting. Content types use custom post types and their meta, settings use
wp_options, and bookings use a custom table prefixed with your WordPress table prefix. Nothing is sent anywhere else. -
Why are bookings in a table instead of a post type?
-
Form submissions are write-once records that never need revisions, categories, or scheduled publishing. Storing them in a custom table keeps the posts table from filling with thousands of low-value entries and keeps booking queries fast regardless of how many submissions you have.
-
Can I import the bookings I already have?
-
Not from inside the plugin. The table is created fresh on activation. If you are moving from a site where bookings were stored as a custom post type, you will need to copy those rows into the new table yourself, or re-enter them.
-
Does the plugin send anything to an external service?
-
No. It loads no remote fonts, scripts, or styles, makes no outbound HTTP requests, and collects no usage or telemetry data.
-
Will deleting the plugin delete my data?
-
No. Removing the plugin leaves your content, settings, and the bookings table in place. Delete the
{prefix}ofcm_bookingstable and theofcm_options yourself if you want a clean slate. -
Do I need a particular theme?
-
No. The plugin is theme-independent and works with any theme. It provides no front-end output on its own — your theme renders the content.
-
Can I translate the admin labels?
-
Yes. All strings use the
obydullah-fitness-content-managertext domain. A translation file in the plugin’slanguagesfolder is picked up automatically.
