SlashBooking<\/strong> turns any WordPress page into a self-service appointment funnel. A visitor picks a service, sees the available slots in real time, and books in under a minute. You receive an email alert and confirm or decline in one click \u2014 no need to log in to WordPress, no third-party SaaS, no recurring fees.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Freelancers and small businesses who want a self-hosted scheduling page<\/li>\n
    • Agencies packaging a website with a booking funnel<\/li>\n
    • Any business where \"book a slot\" opens the customer journey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      External services<\/h3>\n\n

      This plugin is fully self-contained. It makes no calls to any external or third-party service and sends no data off your site \u2014 every request is handled on your own WordPress installation.<\/p>\n\n

      Source code and build<\/h3>\n\n

      The full, human-readable source code is public and maintained at:<\/p>\n\n

      https:\/\/github.com\/ArchSeraphin\/slashbooking-lite<\/p>\n\n

      The PHP runs unmodified from src\/<\/code>. The admin interface bundle\n(assets\/dist\/index.jsx.js<\/code> and .css<\/code>) is compiled from the React\/SCSS sources\nin src\/Admin\/react-app\/src\/<\/code>, which ship inside the plugin ZIP as well.<\/p>\n\n

      To regenerate the compiled admin assets:<\/p>\n\n

      npm install\nnpm run build   (uses @wordpress\/scripts \u2014 webpack\/Babel; outputs to assets\/dist\/)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
      The Composer autoloader in vendor\/<\/code> is generated with composer install --no-dev<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the ZIP via Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/strong> (or unzip it into wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>).<\/li>\n
      2. Activate SlashBooking<\/strong> in the plugins list.<\/li>\n
      3. Configure it from the SlashBooking<\/strong> admin menu:\n\n
          \n
        • Services<\/strong> \u2014 appointment duration, before\/after buffers, days and opening hours, display colour<\/li>\n
        • Settings<\/strong> \u2014 booking form colours, consent message, GDPR retention, notification email<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
        • Paste [slashbooking]<\/code> into any public page to display the booking form.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          How do emails get sent?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          By default via wp_mail()<\/code>. If you have an SMTP plugin installed (WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, etc.), SlashBooking uses it automatically \u2014 no extra configuration.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Is a customer account required to book?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          No. Visitors book without creating an account. You collect only the fields you need (name, email, phone, etc.).<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Is it GDPR compliant?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Yes. The form requires explicit consent, the plugin registers WordPress privacy data exporters and erasers, supports a configurable retention period, and anonymises old bookings automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Does it work with page caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Yes. The page that contains the widget is automatically excluded from page caching so the form keeps working.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Does it survive a WordPress update?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Yes. Database schemas are versioned and migrated automatically, and options are preserved.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
          1.0.5<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Internationalization.<\/strong> The plugin's source strings are now in English (en_US<\/code>) \u2014 the standard base locale for WordPress.org \u2014 and a complete French (fr_FR<\/code>)<\/strong> translation ships with the plugin, covering the admin, the transactional emails, the public booking form and the settings app. The plugin can now be translated into any language via translate.wordpress.org.<\/li>\n
          • Updated the bundled plugin logo to the current SlashBooking calendar mark.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
            1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Removed the optional Cloudflare Turnstile integration from the free edition. The plugin now makes no external requests<\/strong> and connects to no third-party service<\/strong> \u2014 it is fully self-contained. The built-in honeypot and per-IP rate limiting continue to protect the booking form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
              1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Hardened the code against the full WordPress.org Plugin Check ruleset: documented the trusted, prepared database queries in the data-access layer; annotated internal exception messages (caught\/converted, never displayed); renamed the internal action hooks to an underscore prefix (slashbooking_booking_*<\/code>); prefixed the loader variable in the main file; and documented the standard cache constant\/hook and the opt-in Cloudflare Turnstile widget script (the one permitted external service).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Renamed all plugin option names, the custom cron schedule and the rate-limit transient keys from the short sb_<\/code> prefix to the unique slashbooking_<\/code> prefix, to prevent collisions with other plugins or themes.<\/li>\n
                • Replaced the example logo-URL placeholder in the email settings (it was an https:\/\/\u2026\/logo.png<\/code> string that a code scan could mistake for a remotely loaded file) with a plain text hint. The plugin never loaded that URL; it was only placeholder text inside a URL input the admin fills in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                  1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Public booking widget and dashboard widget styles are now enqueued (no inline <style><\/code>).<\/li>\n
                  • The .ics<\/code> calendar attachment is written to a hardened uploads subfolder instead of the system temp directory, and removed right after sending.<\/li>\n
                  • Shortcode output uses esc_url()<\/code> for the REST URL attribute.<\/li>\n
                  • Admin menu moved to a lower position so it no longer sits among core items.<\/li>\n
                  • Removed the redundant load_plugin_textdomain()<\/code> call (translations load automatically on WordPress.org).<\/li>\n
                  • Documented the public source repository and admin-bundle build steps; the React\/SCSS sources now ship in the plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                    1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
