Description
CVM Fixture Sync for PlayHQ is a usable manual fixture importer for clubs using PlayHQ and SportsPress.
Configure your PlayHQ connection, map PlayHQ grades to SportsPress leagues, choose a team filter, preview matching fixtures, and run an import. Imported fixtures can create or update SportsPress events, link teams and taxonomies, create missing teams and venues, and optionally import team logos.
Lite has no licence key, licence activation, commercial updater, background schedule, or hidden paid implementation. Imported PlayHQ metadata is preserved to support a future upgrade.

External services
This plugin connects to the PlayHQ API at https://api.playhq.com only when an administrator loads seasons or grades, previews fixtures, runs an import, or imports a team logo.
The configured PlayHQ API key and tenant are sent as request headers. Depending on the request, the organisation ID, season ID, grade ID or pagination cursor is sent to retrieve seasons, grades, teams, fixtures and club logo URLs. The returned data is used to create or update SportsPress content on the WordPress site. No data is sent to CV Media by this plugin.
Use of the PlayHQ service is subject to PlayHQ’s API documentation, terms and privacy policy.

- WordPress 5.8 or later.

FAQ
-
Does Lite require a licence key?
-
No. Lite runs without a licence key and contains no licence activation code.
-
Does Lite automatically sync fixtures or results?
-
No. Lite imports fixtures only when an administrator runs the manual import. Auto sync, results, ladders, player stats and advanced sync options are available in separate paid plugins.
-
Will uninstalling delete imported content?
-
No. Deactivation and uninstall preserve settings and all imported SportsPress events, teams, venues and other customer content. Uninstall removes only Lite API-discovery transients.

Yes. Lite preserves compatible PlayHQ metadata on imported SportsPress content. Lite settings use a separate, uniquely prefixed option to avoid conflicts with other plugins.
