Welcome to the FREE Simple Appointments plugin for WordPress! This lightweight, mobile-friendly booking system allows you to easily schedule appointments for up to 5 custom days, directly from your WordPress website.

Here is everything you need to know to get started.

1. How to Install the Plugin

Since this is a custom plugin, you will install it by uploading the .zip file directly to your WordPress dashboard.

  1. Download the Simple Appointments .zip file to your computer. (to do this simply fill in the form above)

  2. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.

  3. On the left-hand menu, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin.

  4. Click the Upload Plugin button at the top of the screen.

  5. Choose the .zip file you downloaded and click Install Now.

  6. Once installed, click Activate Plugin.

2. How to Set Up Your Schedule

You can configure up to 5 separate days, each with up to 14 specific time slots.

  1. In your WordPress left-hand menu, click on Simple Appointments.

  2. Under Setup Your Days, click on Day 1 to expand the menu.

  3. In the Date / Title box, type the name of your event (e.g., Saturday Clinic – March 14th).

    • Note: If you leave the Date / Title box blank, that day will be completely hidden from your website.

  4. Fill in the specific time slots you want to offer (e.g., 9:30 am – 10:00 am). Leave any extra boxes blank.

  5. Repeat this for Days 2 through 5 if needed.

  6. Click the blue Save All Schedules button at the bottom.

3. How to Put the Booking Form on Your Website

Now that your schedule is set up, you just need to tell WordPress where to display it.

  1. Go to Pages > Add New (or edit an existing page).

  2. Add a Shortcode Block (if you use the standard WordPress editor) or a Text/HTML element if you use a page builder.

  3. Paste in this exact shortcode: [simple_appointments]

  4. Click Publish or Update.

When you view the live page, you will see your beautifully formatted appointment cards ready to be booked!

4. How to Manage Your Bookings

Whenever a customer books an appointment, it is instantly saved to your database and the time slot is marked as “Booked” on your website.

  • To view bookings: Go to the Simple Appointments dashboard. Scroll down to the Manage Bookings section to see a clear list of who booked which slot, including their Name, Email, and Phone number.

  • To cancel a booking: Click the red Cancel Booking button next to their name. This will instantly delete their data and free up the time slot on your website so someone else can book it.

  • To remove a day completely: Simply delete the name of the day or the date from the heading area and then delete any appointmet slots you had set.
