Install and activate
Schedopia installs like any other WordPress plugin. It creates its own database tables on activation, so there is nothing to configure before you start.
Requirements
| WordPress | 6.5 or newer |
|---|---|
| PHP | 8.1 or newer |
| Database | MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+ |
Install from your dashboard
- Go to Plugins → Add Plugin
In your WordPress admin sidebar. - Search for “Schedopia”
It is published in the official WordPress.org plugin directory. - Click Install Now, then Activate
Schedopia creates its tables and appears in your admin menu.
Install manually
If you downloaded the plugin as a ZIP file:
- Upload the folder
Put theschedopiafolder into/wp-content/plugins/, or use Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the ZIP. - Activate it
From the Plugins screen.
Finding Schedopia
After activation, Schedopia appears in the main admin sidebar, just below Comments. Everything — dashboard, bookings, catalog, staff, settings — lives inside that one screen.
The first time you open Schedopia it sends you to the setup wizard, which walks you through your business details, first service, staff and opening hours.
What activation creates
Schedopia stores its data in its own database tables (prefixed wp_schedopia_) rather than as WordPress posts. This keeps bookings, customers and payments properly relational and keeps your posts table clean.
Deactivating Schedopia never deletes anything, and neither does deleting the plugin: your bookings, customers and catalog stay in the database. There is no switch in the Schedopia admin for removing that data when you delete the plugin.
Updating
Updates arrive through the normal WordPress update process. Any database changes a new version needs are applied automatically the first time it loads. As with any update, take a backup first if the site is business-critical.
