Access and dependencies Use a Finance Admin, administrator, or other account with manage_woocommerce. WooCommerce must be active.

Expected: The queue lists unpaid renewal attempts known to the installed WooCommerce billing stack. An empty queue displays No failed payments waiting on retry. Open the WooCommerce order list. GymCore keeps the wc-orders screen available to approved office and commerce roles; the installed WooCommerce version owns the exact menu presentation. Search for the recorded order number. Confirm the customer, total, gateway, status, and order notes before taking an action. GymCore’s receivables view treats failed, on-hold, and pending orders as unpaid. Under Plugins \u0026gt; Installed Plugins, identify the recurring-billing extension. Open the related subscription from the order only if that extension exposes one. Expected: The owning extension shows the current subscription status, related orders, and any next retry or next payment it has scheduled. If no recurring extension is active, stop; GymCore does not supply a replacement retry action. Resolve the cause in the owning system: the member updates their stored payment method, the gateway owner clears an account problem, or an authorized finance user uses the extension’s visible retry action. Do not create a manual order to imitate a retry. Expected: The gateway records at most one new authorization or charge, and WooCommerce adds a new order note or renewal order rather than overwriting the failed history. Verify the final result first in the gateway dashboard, then in the WooCommerce order and subscription record. Reload GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Finance Copilot last.

Effects, reversal, and member data Finance Copilot is read-only for retries; it shows order IDs, customer names, amounts, and retry dates. The actual retry belongs to the installed subscription extension and gateway. A successful charge cannot be undone by changing a WooCommerce status; use the gateway-backed refund process. Preserve failed order notes because they are the audit trail, and share only the order ID—not card, email, or phone details—when escalating. If the record does not line up Order is absent from Finance Copilot: search WooCommerce directly and confirm its status is failed, on-hold, or pending. No subscription screen or retry action exists: verify installed extensions; do not invent a retry by changing the order status. Gateway shows a charge but WooCommerce still shows failure: stop further retries and give the gateway transaction ID and WooCommerce order ID to the payment owner.

Access and dependencies Use a Finance Admin, administrator, or other account with manage_woocommerce. WooCommerce supplies orders, statuses, totals, and customer billing data. Finance Agent is the intended customer term. The current Finance Copilot source still renders the legacy Ask Pippin label; treat that label as product-source leakage, not as public GymCore AI taxonomy. The control needs the AI plugin’s finance endpoint. The page remains useful for receivables and monthly close when that endpoint is unavailable. Exact steps Safe stop: Review receivables and create an outreach draft, but stop before Run monthly close until the month and underlying WooCommerce records have finance approval. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Finance Copilot. Review Accounts receivable aging. The source groups failed, on-hold, and pending orders into 0–30 days, 31–60 days, 61–90 days, and 90+ days. Open the corresponding WooCommerce order before acting on a row. Compare the customer, amount, issue date, currency, and status with the source order. To prepare a message, select Draft outreach beside the receivable. Expected: GymCore creates a draft with the default gentle tone and queues it as a pending action. It does not send a message or retry a payment. Review Failed-payment recovery queue for the order number and the installed subscription extension’s Last attempt and Next attempt values. Perform any retry only in that extension or gateway. If the Finance Agent question control is available, use the currently rendered Ask Pippin field and select Ask. Treat the older label as a current UI defect and the answer as a lead for investigation, not as a transaction or correction. Expected: The answer appears on the page. If the AI finance endpoint is not wired, the page says it is unavailable and leaves financial records unchanged. To run close, choose Month. The field defaults to the current UTC month. Select Run monthly close only after finance has approved the period. Expected: GymCore reconciles payout data, lists refunded subscriptions, writes a coach-payroll attendance CSV, requests sign-off through an action hook, and caches the result for that YYYY-MM month. A normal re-run returns Already closed for this month — re-running is safe. Verify the final result in the owning systems: open the referenced WooCommerce orders, payout records, and generated payroll CSV, then compare the close summary with the accounting system. Expected: The WooCommerce and accounting totals support the close result, and every exception has an owner. The Finance Copilot result alone is not final accounting approval.

Draft outreach creates a pending communication; remove or reject it in the owning approval queue if it should not be sent. Run monthly close writes a CSV under WordPress uploads, saves a close result in a WordPress option, and can notify an installed approval-queue listener. There is no customer-facing undo control. Limit access to customer names, emails, balances, and payroll attendance, and delete exported files under the gym’s retention policy. If a panel is wrong Receivable is missing: confirm the WooCommerce order status is failed, on-hold, or pending and that its creation date is valid. Draft appears but no one can approve it: verify the installed AI approval-queue plugin; the draft endpoint intentionally never sends. Close uses the wrong month: do not force another run. Preserve the result and ask the finance owner to decide whether the cached close and CSV should be replaced.

If a date, status, product, or payment method must change, write down the financial effect and ask the recurring-billing owner to approve it. Use the extension’s documented action; GymCore source does not define or validate that action. Expected: The extension creates an audit note or related order and shows the approved new state.

New installs In WordPress, open Plugins \u0026gt; Add Plugin \u0026gt; Upload Plugin, select the approved Gym Core AI ZIP, and choose Install Now. Expected: WordPress reports that the plugin installed. Do not activate an unreviewed ZIP or overwrite a different plugin folder to resolve a name mismatch. Choose Activate Plugin. Expected: Gym Core AI appears as active under Plugins \u0026gt; Installed Plugins. A requirement notice must not report an unsupported WordPress version or an inactive Gym Core plugin. Open Settings \u0026gt; Connectors, configure the approved provider plugin, and confirm that provider reports connected. Expected: The secret is owned by WordPress and the provider plugin. It is never pasted into GymCore AI settings or stored in a support ticket. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; AI \u0026gt; Settings \u0026gt; General and read System Status.

Set Gym Name and Conversation retention (days), then select Save Changes. Use Connections \u0026amp; Security to discover, test, and activate an exact provider/model pair. Expected: The settings page reloads with the saved values. A blank Gym Name falls back to the WordPress site title; retention accepts 1–365 days and defaults to 30. Open Settings \u0026gt; Agents, review each persona’s Enabled, Display Name, and Capability, then select Save Changes. Expected: The saved agent values reload. These persona gates do not replace the capability checks on individual tools. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Staff Dashboard. Expected: A working installation shows the AI chat panel when GYM_CORE_AI_VERSION is available. If the unavailable notice appears, confirm both plugins are active and stop; configuration status alone is not proof that chat is usable. On staging, use a fictional read request, then compare the result with its GymCore or WooCommerce source record. Expected: The answer matches the source record. A read-only request has no commit button. Do not run a production write as the installation test.

Staff Dashboard says AI Chat is not available Confirm both GymCore and Gym Core AI are active, record their versions, and inspect the requirement notice. Do not define an undocumented compatibility constant on production to bypass the check. Migrate from the retired AI Chat plugin Follow Migrate sites from the retired HMA AI Chat plugin above. The reviewed 0.5.6 migration script copies only allowlisted non-secret settings and verified table rows, activates Gym Core AI in corresponding site/network scopes, removes the complete legacy-owned state inventory, and deletes retired executable files without executing legacy plugin code.

It requires manage_woocommerce. It is provided by the core GymCore plugin and is distinct from conversation history and the AI plugin’s persona prompts. The current rollout uses reviewed knowledge only for the staff Coaching assistant. It does not publish authored knowledge to member-facing chat. Choose a Program before asking a discipline-specific question; General / all programs uses only genuinely cross-program entries. Knowledge entry fields Field Type Default/limit Effect and safety Title Required text Maximum 255 characters Used in search/retrieval. Make it specific and stable. Body Required textarea Plain text content May be injected into model context. Never store credentials, payment data, medical details, or private staff notes. Tags Text Comma-separated Used with title/body for keyword retrieval and publishing scope. Keep a controlled vocabulary. Topic Select One of general, pricing, schedule, policies, programs, faq, staff, facilities Supports filtering and organization. Unknown CSV topics become general. The list supports search, topic filter, edit, delete, pagination, and CSV import. CSV must have title, body, tags, topic headers; rows without a title are skipped. Import on staging first and review every row because a successful import can add incorrect policy or pricing context in bulk. What belongs in authored knowledge Use AI Knowledge for durable, owner- or head-coach-approved material: gym curriculum and teaching sequence; coaching cues and common errors; safety and stop conditions; class norms and stable policies; gym-specific exceptions; and reviewed, licensed discipline guidance. Do not store volatile or personal data here. Schedules, prices, ranks, attendance, rosters, subscriptions, CRM state, and pending actions must come from GymCore’s live tools and APIs. Live results override static knowledge. Never include member names, personal information, credentials, private URLs, secrets, or raw conversations in titles, tags, bodies, or source labels. Source and authority order When sources conflict, use this order: Live GymCore operational data. Owner/head-coach-approved gym doctrine. Reviewed discipline guidance. Reviewed general coaching guidance. General model knowledge for low-risk explanations only. For authored entries, use one authority tag: authority:gym, authority:discipline, or authority:general. For entries with the same stable key, exact program/persona scope wins over all; gym authority then wins over discipline authority, which wins over general authority. Conflicting active sources at the same authority level require review rather than silent combination. Required publishing metadata Tags are comma-separated, lowercase, exact tokens. Every runtime-ready row requires exactly one tag from each required field: key:\u0026lt;stable-slug\u0026gt; status:published persona:\u0026lt;current-persona\u0026gt; or persona:all program:\u0026lt;program-slug\u0026gt; or program:all authority:gym or authority:discipline or authority:general source:\u0026lt;non-secret-slug\u0026gt; reviewed:YYYY-MM-DD Optional descriptive tags may include type:* and level:*. Example for a gym-specific Adult BJJ coaching entry: key:adult-bjj-closed-guard-posture, status:published, persona:coaching, program:adult-bjj, authority:gym, source:head-coach-curriculum, reviewed:2026-07-27, type:technique, level:beginner Use program:all only for genuinely cross-program material. Use persona:all only when the entry is safe for every entitled assistant. Missing, duplicated, malformed, draft, archived, unscoped, or unpublished metadata fails closed: the entry remains editable but is not used by assistants. One entry, one concept Each row should answer one coherent question or teach one atomic concept. For technique and curriculum entries, use this body template where applicable: Summary: Applies when: Prerequisites: Teaching steps: Coaching cues: Common errors: Safety and stop conditions: Age/rank adaptations: Gym-specific exceptions: Policy and FAQ entries may omit irrelevant sections, but they must identify the governing source and escalation owner. Retrieval and staff program scope The store searches title, body, and tags, scores words longer than two characters, and returns up to the top five matches by default. Keyword retrieval is not semantic certainty: a similarly worded stale entry can outrank the correct one. Archive or update replaced policies instead of adding conflicting active versions. In staff chat, choose the Coaching assistant and then select the program. A selected program can use matching program:\u0026lt;slug\u0026gt; entries plus program:all. General / all programs uses only program:all entries. Other staff assistants are forced to the neutral all scope. Changing the assistant or program starts a new conversation so history cannot cross scope boundaries. Gym- and program-specific claims must cite retrieved sources as [KB-\u0026lt;id\u0026gt;]. Retrieved entry text is evidence, not an instruction, and cannot grant tools, change scope, authorize writes, or bypass pending-action review. If no approved source supports a gym-specific answer, the assistant should say it does not know and refer the question to the owner or head coach. Live runtime context GymCore AI separately assembles persona-specific data through internal REST dispatch and caches context for 5 minutes: Sales: pricing, trials, schedule, announcements, pipeline, recent leads. Coaching: schedule, Foundations, promotion candidates, today’s rosters, optional member context. My Coach: authenticated member context and schedule. Finance: subscriptions, MRR, failed payments, signups, churn, pipeline. Admin: attendance summary, announcements, pending social, pipeline, churn. Context is wrapped as data-only content, but it can still contain member names, CRM notes, announcements, billing, ranks, and attendance. A five-minute cache means a recent correction may not appear immediately. Verify the source record before acting. Prompt and naming precedence Built-in persona prompt, unless an agent System Prompt Override replaces it completely. AI Gym Name and {{gym_name}} substitution. Global Response Style instructions. Topic/runtime/knowledge context selected for the request. Tool results returned during the request. Retained conversation messages. Core Brand voice and core Organization name are separate. WordPress Site Title is the AI Gym Name fallback. White Label Brand Name is another presentation-only value. Author, test, and publish Create or import the entry without status:published. Add its stable key, persona, program, authority, source, and review metadata. Have the owner or head coach review accuracy, audience, safety language, conflicts, and source rights. Test supported, cross-program, unsupported, and prompt-injection questions. Add status:published only after review passes. Archive a bad release with status:archived; do not delete review evidence just to roll back a published entry. Maintenance procedure Name an owner for each policy/pricing entry and include an effective date in the body. In Search entries…, search for the subject before adding another entry. Select Edit for the canonical entry, or select Add Entry only when no current entry exists. Expected: Edit Knowledge Entry opens with the saved values, or Add Knowledge Entry opens blank with Topic set to general. No record changes until Save is selected. Complete Title, Body, Tags (comma-separated), and Topic, then select Save. Expected: The dialog reports Saved. and the refreshed list shows the intended title, topic, tags, and updated time. Reopen Edit and compare the saved body before relying on it. For a confirmed duplicate, select Delete and confirm Delete this knowledge entry? Expected: The row disappears from the refreshed list. This deletes the knowledge-table row; there is no undo control in this screen, so restore from a database backup if the deletion was wrong. Before a bulk import, create a recoverable database backup and validate a CSV with the title, body, tags, topic header on staging. In Bulk Import (CSV), choose the file and select Import. Expected: The screen reports Imported N entries. Review the inserted rows on staging. Missing titles are skipped and unknown topics become general; an import success message does not prove the content is correct or retrievable. After the site’s actual AI conversation surface is confirmed available, test one prompt that should retrieve the entry and one unrelated prompt that should not. Compare the answer with the reopened knowledge entry and the live policy, schedule, price, or member record that owns the fact. Expected: The relevant prompt uses current information, the unrelated prompt does not pull the entry inappropriately, and the final source record matches the answer. If the chat surface is absent or blocked, stop at the saved-entry check and use Chat safely with GymCore AI to diagnose the runtime path; do not claim an end-to-end test. The audited AI Settings UI contains code for topic overrides but does not register Topics as one of the four active nested settings tabs. Do not tell customers to edit hidden topic options directly. Rollout boundary The code path alone does not authorize content import or runtime rollout. Owner/head-coach review, source rights, and installed-version testing are still required. Member-facing grounding remains a separate privacy-reviewed rollout.

After a change reports completion, reopen the owning GymCore, WooCommerce, or provider record and check the result there. Expected: Reads have no commit button, drafts remain uncommitted, pending actions do not change source records, and a completion status is not accepted without final source verification. Current product boundary Configuration and history: WordPress admin at GymCore Admin \u0026gt; AI. Chat: available from GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Staff Dashboard, not an AI \u0026gt; Chat tab. The dashboard checks the current GYM_CORE_AI_VERSION bootstrap constant; installed-version validation still determines whether the panel and provider runtime work together. Users: signed-in staff and, for the My Coach persona, authenticated users with the required capability. Data: current WordPress, GymCore, WooCommerce, CRM, attendance, rank, communication, and finance records, limited by the selected persona and tool capability. AI output: may be wrong. A response is not a source record. Writes: tools marked as writes enter the pending-action flow and require administrator review before normal approval execution. No public widget: current source does not register a public visitor chatbot. White-label values are consumed by their settings/configuration preview, but no separate runtime interface consumer was found; do not advertise a website bot or a verified staff-interface rebrand. Canonical navigation The core plugin owns GymCore Admin \u0026gt; AI. Available hub tabs are filtered by capability and installed modules. Current tabs can include AI Knowledge, Audit Log, Settings, and license-gated White Label. No Chat tab is registered in the current hub. Inside Settings, use Agents, Webhook \u0026amp; Security, Response Style, and General. Old standalone AI URLs redirect and should not appear in new instructions. Safety model The signed-in user must be allowed to see the persona. Every tool has its own WordPress capability requirement. Read tools may return sensitive records immediately. Write tools queue a proposed action with Pending status; the source record should remain unchanged. An administrator reviews it in Pending Actions when the chat panel is available. The Audit Log is read-only and has no approval button. Approve attempts the write immediately. Success becomes Completed; failure remains Approved with an execution error. Approve with Changes stores staff instructions as Approved with Changes and depends on a separate revision/completion handler. Reject does not execute the proposal. Audit Log records action, status, reviewer, created time, reviewed time, and a detail summary. Staff verify the final GymCore, WooCommerce, or provider source record. Completed is a successful tool return, not proof of provider settlement, delivery, or publication. Conversation retention does not delete pending-action or audit records.

Only then should a technical operator configure the connection below. Webhook security An inbound webhook lets an approved external automation send a request into GymCore AI. “Egress IP” means the network address that automation uses when it leaves the provider.

When off, an empty list accepts any IP that passes signature authentication. Supported new-deployment authentication: HMAC over timestamp and raw body. The header name in current source is legacy-named X-HMA-Signature; treat that as a wire identifier, not customer-facing branding. Replay window: HMAC timestamps outside 5 minutes are rejected.

When WordPress Abilities API and the MCP adapter are installed, GymCore AI registers tool-backed abilities with MCP-public metadata. This means an authenticated adapter can advertise them; it does not mean anonymous public access. The gym_core_ai_mcp_public_ability filter can suppress individual abilities. Capability checks and pending-action controls still apply. Before connecting an MCP client: Inventory every advertised ability and suppress everything the client does not need. Use a dedicated least-privilege service account; never an owner administrator account. Test read denial, write approval, rejection, duplicate/retry behavior, and audit records on staging. Expected: The client reads only approved data, every write is pending before review, rejection leaves the source unchanged, and retries do not duplicate the result. Set retention and access policy in the external MCP client because it may store prompts and results. Rotate credentials and revoke the account when the client, vendor, or operator is removed. Expected: The removed client can no longer authenticate or discover protected results, while the action/audit evidence required by policy remains available under its separate retention rules.

Access and dependencies Use a WordPress administrator with manage_options and a Google Workspace or Google Cloud owner who can manage a service account and calendar sharing. Prepare the full service-account JSON key and the destination Google Calendar ID. Share the destination calendar with the service-account email and grant the minimum permission needed to create events. Current source subscribes only to GymCore’s class_attended event. It does not expose a general class-schedule sync, date range, direction, or daily-sync control. Exact steps Safe stop: Save and test the connection, but stop before producing a class_attended event until the destination calendar and fictional staging records are confirmed. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Integrations and find the Google Calendar card. Select Connect. Enter Service Account JSON (paste full JSON key file) and Google Calendar ID (e.g. primary or [email protected]). Select Save \u0026amp; Connect. Expected: The card changes to Connected only after GymCore obtains a Google access token. Credentials are stored encrypted in the site’s WordPress database. Select Test Connection. Expected: The card reports Healthy when GymCore can obtain another access token. This check does not create a calendar event. On a staging site, use a staff-controlled class and member to produce the GymCore class_attended event once. Expected: GymCore posts one Google event using the class post title, _gym_class_start, _gym_class_end (or the start value when end is empty), and the WordPress site timezone. Verify the final result in the owning systems: open the destination Google Calendar and compare its event title, start, end, and timezone with the GymCore class record. Expected: The Google Calendar event matches the GymCore source class. If no event appears, do not describe the integration as ready. Effects, limits, and credential safety The current implementation sends a new Google Calendar events request when class_attended fires; it does not search for an existing event before posting. Repeating the source event may therefore create duplicates. Disconnect removes the encrypted service-account configuration and cached token from WordPress but does not delete events already created in Google Calendar. Rotate the Google key if it was exposed, and never paste it into a ticket, chat, or screenshot. Owner handoff: Tell the site administrator the source event is class_attended, not “class schedule changed.” Give them the GymCore class ID, event time, calendar ID, and Google event link—never the JSON key. If the calendar result is wrong Connect fails: confirm the JSON is complete, the Calendar API is enabled, and the service-account key is still active. Healthy but no event appears: confirm a class_attended event actually fired and the class has _gym_class_start data. Event appears in the wrong calendar: disconnect, confirm the Calendar ID, reconnect, and delete the incorrect event in Google Calendar.

GymCore contains conditional AutomateWoo trigger and action code that loads only when an installed AutomateWoo extension supplies its base classes. Current source contains no MailPoet bridge. Exact steps Safe stop: Keep the test workflow disabled after reviewing its recipient, consent, trigger, and exit rules; enabling it is the first step that can contact someone. Open Plugins \u0026gt; Installed Plugins and look for MailPoet and AutomateWoo. Expected: Only extensions actually installed on the site appear. If either is missing, stop; a GymCore source class is not proof that the customer can use that product. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Integrations and confirm there is no MailPoet or AutomateWoo connection card in the current build. Expected: The page shows registered services such as Google Calendar or Twilio, plus the separate QuickBooks tab. Do not invent a MailPoet or AutomateWoo connect action. If AutomateWoo is installed and approved, open its own workflow editor and look for the Gym group.

Check consent, entry rules, recipient, delay, and exit conditions before enabling it. Enable the workflow only for the staff test record and fire its GymCore source event once. Expected: AutomateWoo records one workflow run. A Twilio action logs a send or a specific skip reason, such as missing phone, empty message, or SMS opt-out. Verify the final result in the owning delivery service: check email delivery in the installed email service or SMS delivery in Twilio, then compare the recipient and source event with the GymCore member record. Expected: The owning delivery service and AutomateWoo log agree. Do not rely on a moved lead card or saved workflow alone as proof of delivery.

GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Integrations contains no generic Webhook, Add endpoint, or REST API key control in current source. Exact steps Safe stop: Approve the plain-language data flow and synthetic staging case, but stop before deployment or any member-data payload until engineering verifies authentication, authorization, duplicate handling, and redacted logging. Write the outcome in plain language: “When this GymCore event happens, send these fields to this named system for this business owner.” Include the consent basis and retention period. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Integrations and check for a card that already owns the destination. Expected: Use the built-in card when it exists. If no matching card appears, do not invent a webhook screen or reuse another provider’s credential. Open Plugins \u0026gt; Installed Plugins and check for an approved companion extension. Record its name and version if it supplies the workflow. Hand the developer the source event or record, required fields, destination, frequency, acceptable delay, duplicate rule, failure owner, and a staff-controlled test case. Owner handoff: Avoid endpoint jargon in the approval request. Say what leaves the gym, who receives it, why it is needed, and how to stop it. The developer can translate that into routes, signatures, and payloads. The developer confirms authentication and authorization in source. The active integration-management routes require manage_options; they must not be exposed as public ingestion endpoints. Deploy only to staging and send one synthetic payload that contains no member, payment, credential, or message content. Expected: The destination accepts one request, logs one result, and a repeated request follows the agreed duplicate rule. Verify the final result in both owning systems: trigger one staff-controlled source event and compare the GymCore source record with the destination record and both systems’ timestamps. Expected: The owning source and destination agree on fields and status, and a failed request produces a redacted log with a named owner. Defaults, effects, and reversal There is no default generic webhook URL, secret, retry policy, payload, or customer UI in current GymCore source. Treat all of those as implementation requirements. Disabling custom code or deleting a credential can stop future delivery, but it cannot recall a payload already received by another system. Rotate secrets at both ends and ask the destination owner to delete copied test data. If the implementation claim cannot be verified Documentation names a control that is absent: trust the installed source and UI; record the mismatch and verify extensions rather than creating a substitute. Request returns 401 or 403: have the developer check WordPress authentication, REST nonce handling, and the required capability; do not weaken the permission callback. Destination receives duplicates: stop the integration and add an idempotency rule before another live test. A secret or member payload reached logs: rotate the secret, restrict the log, and follow the gym’s incident process.

A new or migrated configuration remains off until an owner enables it and all delivery-readiness checks pass. New referral attributions snapshot the effective revision; later edits do not change existing decisions. Access and dependencies Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Referrals with gymcore_manage_settings; WordPress administrators with manage_options also qualify. manage_woocommerce alone does not grant access. WooCommerce and Action Scheduler must be available before any reward mode can be enabled. WooCommerce fixed-cart coupon snapshots the current WooCommerce store currency on every save. A later enable save creates another revision using the currency current at that save; GymCore does not present a separate changed-currency review gate. Integer outbound-message credits require an external PHP integration that registers the version 1 credit ledger, a credit-aware sender, and ready Twilio transport. Core provides no ready registration. Credits are message units, not money, Twilio balance, or carrier segments. Registered receipt-based custom handler requires an external PHP integration that registers a matching contract version, idempotency, reconciliation, readiness, and durable delivery callbacks. Core provides no handler registration. Activation trusts the descriptor’s declared readiness; the delivery worker rejects missing callbacks later. Referral records connect two customers and purchase activity. Restrict access and never disclose one person’s order details to another. Use fictional people and a non-production site until the complete reward path has passed. Save a disabled revision first Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Referrals. Clear Program enabled. Choose Reward mode. Enter only the selected mode’s values: Coupon amount: a positive store-currency decimal no greater than 100000. Message-credit units: a whole number from 1 through 10000. Custom: a registered reward identifier, owner description, handler key, and matching handler contract version. Add an optional Configuration note without member data or secrets. Select Save changes, reload the page, and confirm the preview and values. Expected: GymCore stores a new disabled revision. A stale browser tab, invalid field, unregistered custom handler, or mismatched handler version rejects the save without replacing the current revision. Enable only after readiness passes Confirm the selected mode’s dependencies are installed, configured, and tested. Select Program enabled. Select Save changes. Expected: Saving with Program enabled creates a new enabled revision only when the save-time readiness result is ready; it does not activate the earlier disabled revision. If that check fails, GymCore preserves the prior revision and reports that the reward program remains unchanged. Readiness is checked during the enabled save, not continuously when a referral is attributed. Recheck dependencies after any provider, currency, scheduler, ledger, sender, or handler change. Clearing Program enabled creates a disabled copy of the current revision without revalidating a degraded mode dependency; save and reload to confirm it is off. Enabling affects only referral attributions created while that revision is effective. It does not add a promise or backfill a decision for older referrals. Test attribution, qualification, and delivery Submit a fictional referral through the exact installed capture path. Confirm the referral record identifies the intended fictional referrer and referred customer. Confirm the decision records the expected configuration revision and selected mode. For a non-subscription fixture, complete the first eligible paid order. Do not treat a subscription renewal as qualification evidence yet: current source compares the subscription’s total payment count with 1, while WooCommerce Subscriptions normally includes the paid parent order in that count. The first-renewal path remains blocked until renewal-only behavior has an installed WCS regression. Allow the scheduled worker to run, then inspect the decision, attempt, and source-system evidence. Expected for a supported fixture: One immutable decision progresses from pending to qualified and then to succeeded. Delivery evidence is mode-specific: Coupon: one opaque, non-stackable fixed-cart coupon, one use, no sale items, and 183-day expiry. Delivery rejects a missing or invalid recipient; verify the coupon has the fictional referrer’s non-empty referrer email restriction and passes exact coupon policy readback. initial_order_only is recorded as coupon metadata, so verify that the installed checkout/subscription stack actually enforces it before customer use. Message credits: one unique committed positive ledger entry for the promised integer units. Custom: one durable handler receipt or authorized manual-fulfilment record. A hook firing or request acknowledgement is not delivery proof. Do not manually replay a failed or unknown delivery. GymCore reconciles bounded batches every five minutes and terminalizes delivery as exhausted after five delivery attempts. An unknown coupon reconciliation can remain issuing; escalate immediately with safe decision/attempt identifiers instead of retrying it.

If Pause My Membership is available, stop and read Pause or cancel a membership safely before submitting it. Expected: Merely opening the pause page does not change a subscription or pause record. Ask staff to compare any disputed value with the GymCore member/rank/attendance record or WooCommerce subscription. Expected: The owning source—not the portal card—determines the correction. Limits and privacy Portal endpoints depend on current plugin/theme routing and the user’s linked records. My Kids is conditional; its absence does not prove the child was deleted. Promotion eligibility inherits the current threshold-store mismatch and is advisory. Never ask a member or parent to share a password. Use account-recovery controls and numeric user IDs. A wrong-child display is an access incident, not a cache issue; preserve evidence without circulating the child’s personal details. Troubleshooting If an endpoint returns 404 after activation/update, ask an administrator to verify permalinks and the current endpoint registration; do not create a duplicate page or user first. If data belongs to another person, sign out immediately and report the two user IDs through the privacy process. If rank, attendance, badge, or subscription status is stale, capture the portal label/time and compare the source record before clearing caches or changing data. Verify in the source systems Staff should reopen the matching GymCore profile, attendance/rank history, family relationship store, or WooCommerce subscription. Portal display alone is not final proof.

Deactivation is not erasure. If permanent removal is approved and the restore test passed, select Delete for the inactive Gym Core plugin and confirm WordPress’s deletion prompt.

Update Twilio credentials Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Communications \u0026amp; Automations \u0026gt; Channels \u0026amp; providers as a site administrator. The current owner renders the Twilio credential form, rate limit, readiness result, and explicit Send test SMS action. Expected: The page masks the stored token and separates saved configuration, readiness, test acceptance, and carrier delivery. Rotate or enter credentials only through that approval-gated owner workflow. Never edit the old options directly. Use the installed test action at most once with the current administrator’s staff-controlled billing phone. Expected: GymCore and Twilio show the same message SID and destination. Provider acceptance is not carrier delivery; verify Twilio’s final status. Configure the AI provider and Slack Configure the approved provider through Settings \u0026gt; Connectors. GymCore AI does not read or copy the provider credential. Expected: GymCore Admin \u0026gt; AI \u0026gt; Connections \u0026amp; Security \u0026gt; Provider and model lists only configured providers. Refresh the catalog, save the exact model draft, run readiness, and activate it. Do not restore the retired GymCore AI credential option.

Protect the inbound AI webhook First, tell the external automation owner that you are rotating its shared secret and restricting the network addresses allowed to connect.

Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; AI \u0026gt; Settings \u0026gt; Webhook \u0026amp; Security. Enter one sender address per line under IP Allowlist and select Enforce IP allowlist. Expected: With enforcement on, an empty list blocks all webhook traffic. The screen uses the server-observed source address; a reverse proxy must set that address correctly. Select Generate Secret for a first connection or Rotate Secret for an existing one, then confirm the prompt. Expected: The new secret is shown once in an admin notice. During rotation, the previous and new secrets are accepted for five minutes. Transfer the new secret through the approved secret channel, update the external sender, and select Save Changes for the allowlist settings. Expected: A staging request from an allowed address with a current signature succeeds; a stale, altered, or disallowed request is rejected. Do not claim this test unless the installed staging request was actually run. After five minutes, repeat one staging request using only the new secret and verify the intended source record or action status. Expected: The old secret no longer authenticates after cleanup, and the new request produces the expected local record exactly once. Expected result Each service uses one supported credential location, the old access is revoked, a harmless connection check has a recorded result, and the final provider or source record confirms what happened. Defaults and limits Area Current source behavior Integration cards Administrator-only; registered provider schema controls fields Twilio token Legacy option may exist, but the current customer UI does not render a supported replacement field AI provider key Owned by WordPress and the registered provider plugin under Connectors; Gym Core AI does not read or store it Slack URL HTTPS hooks.slack.com only; blank disables Slack Inbound webhook secret 64 hexadecimal characters when generated Secret rotation overlap 5 minutes IP enforcement On by default in current validator; on + empty list denies all Client address Server REMOTE_ADDR; forwarded headers are not trusted by the validator Technical handoff The inbound automation signs the timestamp and raw request body with the shared secret and sends the result in X-HMA-Signature. This HMAC signature expires after five minutes and is separate from a WordPress REST nonce, which protects actions taken by a signed-in administrator. A legacy bearer-token path remains in source but lacks timestamp replay protection and should not be used for new connections. “Egress IP” means the network address the external sender uses when it leaves its service; it belongs in IP Allowlist. Side effects and privacy Saving a credential can grant access to messages, accounting, AI prompts, or member records. Connection tests can create provider logs, billable requests, or external messages. Secret rotation can interrupt automation; leaving enforcement off with an empty allowlist accepts any source address that has a valid signature. Provider retention is separate from GymCore retention. Recover by symptom Connect saves but Test Connection is Unhealthy Do not reconnect repeatedly. Confirm the provider account, required fields, network access, clock, and provider status. Capture only the sanitized health error and provider request ID. A Twilio test succeeds locally but no phone receives it Check Twilio’s message status, sender selection, destination E.164 value, account restrictions, consent, and carrier rejection. The local response is not delivery proof. The webhook returns 401 or 403 after rotation Confirm the external sender uses the new secret, its clock is within five minutes, the raw body is unchanged after signing, and the server-observed source address is allowed.

Check legal, tax, payment, safeguarding, and dispute-retention requirements with the responsible owner. Identify the WordPress account email and related WooCommerce, CRM, AI, messaging, payment, backup, and provider records. Export before erasing when policy permits. Erasure cannot be undone from the live source without a restore, and backups follow their own expiry schedule. Exact steps Safe stop: Create and review an export request first; stop before the visible erasure action until identity, scope, required retention, and the owning systems outside GymCore are approved. Export the data Open Tools \u0026gt; Export Personal Data in WordPress. Expected: WordPress opens its personal-data export tool. GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Data \u0026amp; Privacy manages retention policies and is not the person-specific export screen. Enter the verified username or email and use the visible WordPress control to send or add the export request. Expected: WordPress creates a request for that identity. Confirmation and row-action labels are controlled by the installed WordPress version; record the exact visible status rather than assuming completion. After the request is confirmed or otherwise authorized under your site’s process, run the available download/email action. Expected: The package includes GymCore groups named Gym Profile, Attendance Records, Rank History, and Billing History when matching data exists. GymCore completes its exporter in one page. Review the package against the member profile, attendance history, rank history, and WooCommerce orders. Expected: The exported source IDs and values match the live records. Separately collect data from CRM, GymCore AI action history, Slack, Twilio, payment providers, and other systems when the request covers them. Erase the data Open Tools \u0026gt; Erase Personal Data in WordPress. Expected: WordPress opens its erasure tool. No data has been erased yet. Enter the verified username or email and create the WordPress erasure request. Complete the required confirmation/authorization step. Expected: WordPress records a pending or confirmed erasure request according to the installed version. Stop if the identity or approved scope does not match. Run the visible erasure action for the confirmed request. Expected: GymCore changes attendance rows to user ID 0 to keep aggregate counts, deletes current-rank and rank-history rows, and deletes its listed member user-meta keys. It does not erase WooCommerce orders through the GymCore eraser. Reopen the member’s GymCore profile/history and inspect the WordPress request result. Expected: Personal links are absent from the GymCore data handled by the eraser, attendance aggregates remain anonymized, and any error is recorded before another attempt. Review WooCommerce orders, the WordPress account, CRM records, AI conversations and action history, Slack/SMS copies, payment/provider data, exports, and backups under their own retention rules. Expected: Every in-scope store is either erased/anonymized, retained under a documented basis and expiry, or assigned a follow-up owner. GymCore conversation retention does not prove removal of pending actions or audit history. Expected result The requester receives a source-checked export or the approved GymCore data is erased/anonymized as the current eraser defines. Remaining systems and retained records have explicit dispositions. Defaults and limits Area Current source behavior Lookup key WordPress username/email workflow; GymCore callback resolves by email GymCore exporter One page; returns profile, attendance, rank history, and WooCommerce billing history Attendance erasure Anonymizes user_id to 0; retains aggregate row Rank erasure Deletes current rank and rank-history rows Profile erasure Deletes the eraser’s listed GymCore user-meta keys WooCommerce orders Exported by GymCore, not erased by the GymCore eraser AI actions/audit, providers, backups Separate review required Side effects and privacy Exports consolidate sensitive profile, medical/coach-note, attendance, rank, and billing data into a portable package. Restrict the download, delivery address, storage, and expiry. Erasure is destructive, while anonymized attendance still preserves non-personal class totals. Never attach the full package to an ordinary support ticket. Recover by symptom The WordPress privacy tool is missing Use an account with manage_privacy_options, normally a WordPress administrator. GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Data \u0026amp; Privacy is a separate retention-policy surface and does not replace the WordPress export or erasure tools. The export contains no GymCore groups Confirm the email belongs to the intended WordPress user and GymCore is active so its exporter is registered. Compare the user ID with member, attendance, rank, and order sources before creating a duplicate account. Erasure reports success but orders remain That is expected from the GymCore eraser: it does not delete WooCommerce orders. Apply the approved WooCommerce/legal retention process and document the result separately. Attendance counts remain after erasure GymCore anonymizes attendance rows instead of deleting them. Verify the rows no longer identify the member; do not delete aggregates merely to make counts fall. AI action history still contains personal data Conversation cleanup does not purge pending-action or audit rows.

List the exact tasks, records, locations, and end date the person needs. Keep a separate administrator available for recovery and prepare a non-production test account for the target role. Review the complete permissions reference because Staff Access controls only four newer permissions, not every GymCore, WordPress, or WooCommerce check. Exact steps Safe stop: Configure and test the target role on staging first; stop before applying Save Role Permissions on production until the approved task list and recovery administrator are confirmed. Open Users \u0026gt; All Users, edit the staff account, and choose the closest role: Administrator, Shop manager, Head Coach, Coach, Finance Admin, or Sales. Save the user. Expected: The user profile reloads with the selected role. Do not choose Administrator solely to make a missing GymCore menu appear. Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Staff Access. Expected: A matrix lists WordPress roles against Manage Members, Manage Billing, View Reports, and Manage Staff. Administrator checkboxes are selected and disabled because administrators always receive all four. For each role, select only the four permissions required by the approved task list. Use the preset buttons only when the complete preset matches the role; the current preset control asks for the role slug. Expected: The matrix reflects the intended grants before anything is saved. Presets change the visible checkboxes only until the form is submitted. Select Save Role Permissions. Expected: WordPress reports Role permissions saved. The saved map applies to every user with each edited role. Sign in to staging with the target test account and open every required menu and action. Then try at least one member, billing, report, staff, credential, and communication screen that should be forbidden. Expected: Required work is available and forbidden work is denied. A hidden menu alone is not proof of denial; test the action or direct page with the least-privilege account. Compare any unexpected access with the complete permissions reference and the screen’s source-backed capability. Expected: Legacy gym_*, manage_options, manage_woocommerce, edit_posts, edit_users, and other checks explain access that the four-column matrix does not control. Reopen Staff Access with the administrator and compare the saved matrix with the approved access record. Expected: The source configuration matches the approval, the test account has the intended role, and no extra capability was added merely to bypass a product defect. Expected result Each staff account has one appropriate role, the four Staff Access permissions match the approved task list, and staging verifies both required and forbidden behavior. Defaults and limits Role Factory default in the four-column matrix Administrator All four; cannot be cleared on this screen Shop manager Manage Members, Manage Billing, View Reports, Manage Staff Head Coach Manage Members, View Reports, Manage Staff Coach View Reports Finance Admin Manage Billing, View Reports Sales Manage Members The four permissions are gymcore_manage_members, gymcore_manage_billing, gymcore_view_reports, and gymcore_manage_staff. These technical names are useful for an access review, but owners should decide access by job task and data sensitivity first. Side effects and privacy Saving a role row affects every account assigned to that role. Access can expose member identities, attendance, billing, reports, staff records, credentials, or outbound communication. Role changes take effect on capability checks immediately, although a user may need to reload or sign in again to see menu changes. Recover by symptom Staff Access is missing The Settings destination requires gymcore_manage_staff, or the administrator fallback manage_options. Use an approved access owner; do not grant broad access to the affected staff member just so they can edit their own permissions. A required menu is still missing after save Look up that menu/action’s actual capability. The screen may use a legacy gym_*, WordPress, or WooCommerce permission outside the four-column matrix. Grant only the exact approved capability through a supported role path. A staff member can see too much Remove the unnecessary grant, select Save Role Permissions, end active sessions if the risk warrants it, and retest the direct page/action. Review all users assigned to the changed role. A custom GymCore role disappears after deactivation Current deactivation removes Head Coach, Coach, Finance Admin, and Sales roles. Reactivate GymCore with an administrator, then verify role assignments and permissions before staff resume work. A preset changes the wrong role Do not save.

Documentation must not imply review occurred only because content was generated. I iCal feed\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A calendar feed that another calendar application can subscribe to. It is not necessarily a two-way calendar sync. Integration\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A connection between GymCore and another plugin or service, such as Twilio, MailPoet, AutomateWoo, a calendar, or an API client. Inventory ID\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A stable maintainer identifier such as INV-SET-0035 used to connect audited source behavior to one primary documentation article. Customers do not need these IDs to use GymCore. K Kiosk\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A focused check-in or sales screen intended for a shared front-desk or member-facing device. Kiosk access and timeout settings should be reviewed before use. L Lead\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A prospective member whose contact, source, status, and follow-up activity may be tracked in GymCore. Legacy\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; An old name, URL, setting, plugin, or data shape retained for migration or compatibility. Legacy does not mean the surface should be taught as the current workflow. Location\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A gym site used to organize products, classes, members, reports, or access where supported. A WordPress site can represent one or more gym locations. M MCP (Model Context Protocol)\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A protocol that can expose approved abilities to compatible AI clients. MCP setup is a developer/admin topic and does not make every internal ability a customer-facing feature. Member\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A person whose gym relationship is managed in GymCore. The visible WordPress admin menu may use GymCore Students. Member portal\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A signed-in front-end area where a member can access the information and actions currently exposed to them. Membership\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; The gym product or access relationship assigned to a member. Billing may be handled through WooCommerce orders or subscriptions. Migration\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Moving supported data or configuration from an older system, plugin, URL, or storage format to the current one. O Option\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A value stored in WordPress settings. Customer instructions should lead with the visible field label, not the internal option name. P Parent portal\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A signed-in front-end area for an authorized parent or guardian to work with connected family members. Personal data\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Information that identifies or relates to a person, including contact, attendance, membership, waiver, billing, and communication data. Plan gate\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A verified license or product-plan condition that controls access to a feature. “No explicit local gate found” does not prove a feature is included in every plan. Plugin\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Software installed into WordPress. GymCore and GymCore AI are plugins; they do not include hosting by themselves. Portal\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A front-end signed-in area. A portal is different from WordPress admin. Program\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A category or grouping for classes, such as Adult BJJ or Kids BJJ. Promotion\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A recorded change to a member’s rank or level. Readiness, belt tests, recommendations, notifications, and published posts may be related but are separate behaviors. Proposed action\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A change prepared by GymCore AI for a person to review. A proposed action has not necessarily been applied. PWA (progressive web app)\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A website configured to behave more like an installed app on supported devices. Setup depends on the site, browser, and current GymCore implementation. R Rank\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A member’s current belt, level, stripe, or other progression state within a configured rank system. Read-only action\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; An operation that retrieves or summarizes data without intentionally changing stored information. It may still expose sensitive data and require access control. REST API\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A set of web routes used by authorized software clients. Route existence does not imply public or anonymous access. Retention\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Features intended to identify or contact members based on activity, missed classes, churn risk, or time away. Messaging still requires correct consent and delivery configuration. Rewrite rule\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A WordPress rule that maps a friendly URL to an internal handler. It is a technical implementation detail unless a customer must visit or configure the URL. Role\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A named WordPress access profile made up of capabilities. Job title and WordPress role are not always the same. S Self-hosted\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Installed on a WordPress site controlled by the customer or their hosting provider. Hosting, updates, backups, security hardening, and server access remain their responsibility unless a separate provider agreement says otherwise. Sensitive action\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; An action that changes data, sends a message, changes access, handles credentials, affects billing, or crosses a trust boundary. Shortcode\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A bracketed WordPress code such as [example] placed in supported content to render dynamic output. SMS\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A text message sent through a configured provider. Sending requires correct credentials, consent, templates, and provider availability. Source of truth\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; The current authoritative place for a fact. For documentation coverage, the audit inventory is the baseline; surprising or sensitive claims must also be checked in current source and tested where practical. Staff Dashboard\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; The current GymCore work area that summarizes staff-facing information and actions. Status\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A named state for a member, lead, payment, proposal, or other record. Use the exact status label and define what changes it. Streak\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A gamification measure based on qualifying attendance or activity under current rules. Subscription\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A WooCommerce recurring-billing record. It is related to, but not identical with, a GymCore membership. T Targeted content\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Website content shown according to supported member or visitor conditions. Configuration is a technical/admin task because incorrect rules can hide or expose content. Taxonomy\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A WordPress classification used to group content, such as programs or locations. Customer docs should use the visible label unless a developer needs the taxonomy name. Trial\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A prospective member’s trial-class or introductory-sales process. Requested, scheduled, attended, and converted states must not be treated as interchangeable. Twilio\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A third-party communication service used for SMS where configured. GymCore does not supply Twilio credentials or carrier consent automatically. W Waiver\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; A versioned agreement and signature record collected from a member or guardian. Waiver configuration and retention should be reviewed with the gym’s legal and privacy advisers. Webhook\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; An outbound or inbound HTTP request used to notify another system of an event. Webhooks can carry sensitive data and must use authentication, validation, HTTPS, and limited access. White label\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Plan-dependent customization of supported names or presentation. It does not change the canonical product names used in this documentation. WooCommerce\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; The WordPress commerce plugin GymCore uses for products, orders, subscriptions, payments, and related billing behavior. WP-CLI\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; The WordPress command-line interface. Commands are for administrators or developers with server access and should be tested on a backup or staging site when they mutate data.","headings":["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","K","L","M","O","P","R","S","T","W"],"source_sha256":"","section":"Reference","source":"docs/user-guide/glossary.md"},{"route":"/docs/reference-admin-menus/","slug":"reference-admin-menus","title":"Find the correct GymCore admin screen","summary":"Find the correct GymCore admin screen.","text":"GymCore divides daily work across four top-level WordPress menus.

Expected: Only the top-level menus allowed for that role appear. Select the top-level menu in the first table, then select the visible submenu for the task. Expected: The page heading matches the selected submenu; a blank page or “not allowed” message indicates a separate permission or provider problem. For delegated access, perform only the lowest-risk read action needed to confirm the page works. Expected: The account can view the intended records without gaining unrelated settings, financial, promotion, or deletion controls. As an administrator, compare the test role with GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Staff Access and the Roles and permissions matrix. Expected: The saved role permissions and the source page’s own permission check explain the visible menu. If they do not, restore the prior role checkboxes and investigate the separate WordPress/WooCommerce gate. When a menu is missing If GymCore Admin is present but a submenu is absent, check that submenu’s permission and whether its provider or companion plugin is active. If GymCore Students, GymCore Leads, or GymCore Classes is absent, verify the account can pass at least one relevant page permission. If QuickBooks is absent for a Shop Manager, the parent Integrations menu still requires administrator-level `manage_options`.

The license manager caches a server check for one hour and considers persisted status fresh for 24 hours. Network or merchant-service availability can therefore affect when the local badge changes. Separate AI entitlement GymCore AI stores an internal `free` or `pro` tier and checks it for the White Label screen. It is not a customer-entered license key. Do not change the database option to grant access; use the approved license flow and verify the installed plugins’ behavior. Renewal webhooks in plain language getgymcore.com can notify the site after purchase or renewal so the local status refreshes automatically. The two registered endpoints are: `POST /gym/v1/license/activate-webhook` `POST /gym/v1/license/renew-webhook` The notification includes a cryptographic signature made with the shared webhook secret. Engineers call this an HMAC signature. If the secret on the site and merchant account differ, the site must reject the notification. Do not share or log the secret.

Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; License as an administrator. Expected: The screen shows a status badge, plan, expiration, license action, and webhook settings. It does not have a general save button. If approved, use Activate License or Save Webhook Settings, then reload the screen. Expected: GymCore shows the server-returned status or a specific error. A network failure is not evidence that the key is invalid. Compare the key’s plan and site assignment in the getgymcore.com merchant portal. Expected: Portal and local status agree after refresh; transfer or membership changes are verified in the portal, not from a local button click. Open and exercise the exact feature with a non-production record. Expected: The feature’s own menu, permission check, and result establish whether it is usable. If local code has no license consumer, document that enforcement gap instead of claiming the plan blocks it. For a genuine purchase or renewal notification, compare the merchant event time with the site’s updated license status. Expected: A valid signed webhook refreshes the local license. There is no safe synthetic customer test documented by the source; use real merchant tooling or an engineering-controlled environment. Reversibility and symptoms Deactivate License is a separate action and should not be used to troubleshoot an unrelated feature. Changing the webhook secret breaks future merchant notifications until both systems agree; it does not reverse a purchase or renewal. A stale local badge with a correct portal record points to cache, network, or webhook delivery—not necessarily billing failure.

GymCore registers WordPress “abilities”—named operations with input rules, output rules, and a permission check—and an installed MCP adapter can expose approved abilities to an authenticated client. “Public” adapter metadata means discoverable to that authenticated client, not anonymous internet access. Inventory count: 39 source inventory rows: 37 concrete core ability names, one dynamic GymCore AI tool family, and one runtime-validation marker. The dynamic family expands from the installed AI tool registry. Registration is not a public support guarantee; verify the installed version, permission callback, schema, and side effects before integration. Security contract Use HTTPS and authenticated WordPress credentials or the explicitly supported integration signature.

A failed-sync note can schedule a retry after 60 seconds. Exact steps Safe stop: Inspect the queued action and its logs without running or retrying it; stop before a retry when the downstream result is unknown because messages and external writes can duplicate. Record the source record ID, the expected hook, and the time the action should have been created. Expected: The report can be tied to one order, member, lead, report, or maintenance purpose. If WooCommerce Action Scheduler is active, open WooCommerce \u0026gt; Status \u0026gt; Scheduled Actions and search for the exact hook. Otherwise, have an administrator or engineer inspect WordPress cron events with the site’s approved tooling. Expected: The hook is pending, complete, failed, or absent. Do not report completion from “pending.” Open the action’s log or WordPress error log and compare its arguments with the source record. Expected: The queued arguments identify the same record. A completed scheduler entry can still contain a downstream provider failure. Check the final system: WooCommerce/QuickBooks for accounting, the SMS provider for delivery, GymCore tables for ranks/attendance/retention, or the license merchant service for entitlement. Expected: The final source shows the intended result. If it does not, preserve the failed action and error before retrying; repeated jobs can duplicate messages or external writes. Symptoms Many overdue WP-Cron events point to site traffic or cron configuration, not one GymCore record. Failed Action Scheduler entries with authentication errors point to the external provider or credentials. Retention work absent while SMS is disabled matches the audited gate. AI conversation purging does not remove every pending action or audit record; review those stores under the applicable retention policy.

The configured provider’s latest delivery event is the final delivery source. Exact steps Safe stop: Read and compare the owning records without changing a status; stop when no supported transition exists instead of editing a stored value directly. Record the customer-facing label, stored value if visible, record ID, and timestamp. Expected: You can identify both the status group and the exact record it describes. Open the owning record: lead, trial appointment, AI approval, tournament post, class occurrence, pause, WooCommerce subscription, or QuickBooks transaction. Expected: The source record shows whether the status is current, stale, or describing only one part of the workflow. Compare related records by ID and time rather than forcing their labels to match. Expected: A trial, lead stage, sales disposition, and consent state can legitimately differ because they answer different questions. Use the supported customer action that produces the desired transition, then reload the owning record. Expected: The source record records the new state and related logs show the transition. If no supported transition exists, preserve the record and escalate; direct status edits can skip consent, billing, or notification side effects. Symptom examples A lead at `converted` with SMS `opted_out` is not contradictory; membership and communication permission are separate. A local AI action at `completed` with a provider error still requires delivery investigation. A pause row at `resumed` while a WooCommerce subscription remains `on-hold` indicates a cross-system mismatch. A tournament with blank status will not automatically become `upcoming`; select and save the intended status.

Expected: The command reports what it would process without creating source rows. Create and record the appropriate backup before a restore, erasure, reset, or live import. Expected: The backup location, tenant/site, timestamp, and responsible operator are known before the consequential command runs. Run the exact command once without adding undocumented flags. Expected: WP-CLI returns a specific success or error. Preserve the output; do not immediately rerun after a timeout because the first process may have written records.

Access and dependencies Today, History, and Trends require gym_check_in_member. At-Risk Members also requires manage_woocommerce; use an administrator or another account that has both capabilities. Attendance comes from GymCore check-ins. Billing status comes from the installed WooCommerce and recurring-billing stack. One does not overwrite the other.

Open GymCore Students \u0026gt; Attendance. Select History. Set From, To, Program, and Location, then select Filter. Expected: The history lists check-ins that match the chosen GymCore filters. It does not infer payment status. Select Trends and compare This Week, Last Week, and 4-week avg/week. Open the member or class behind an unexpected count before acting on the trend. If you have manage_woocommerce, select At-Risk Members. The score is out of 100: attendance contributes up to 50 points, missed sessions 25, tenure 15, and portal engagement 10. The inclusion threshold comes from the site’s saved churn configuration, not a universal default. Expected: The tab lists only members at or above that configured threshold and shows the component scores used for each result. Open the member’s GymCore profile and latest check-ins. Then open the owning WooCommerce order or recurring-billing record to check payment and membership status. Expected: Staff can explain whether the risk is an attendance pattern, a billing state, a new-member tenure signal, or low portal engagement; the score alone is not a cancellation. To start approved retention follow-up, select Trigger Retention for one member. Expected: The row changes through Sending… to ✓ Sent when GymCore fires the gym_churn_risk_detected event. An installed AutomateWoo workflow may react to that event; the button does not prove a message was delivered. Verify the final result in the owning workflow or delivery system, then compare the recipient with the GymCore member record.

Administrators are detected with manage_options; coaches by gym_head_coach/gym_coach roles; finance by manage_woocommerce or shop manager; everyone else receives sales context. Active-membership cards return 0 when WooCommerce Subscriptions is unavailable. AI chat/pending counts depend on the companion plugin. Privacy and safety notes Cards can reveal attendance, membership, payment-failure, and AI-action counts. Share only the minimum card label and redacted source-record IDs needed to investigate a mismatch. Troubleshooting The wrong role section appears Record the section heading, your WordPress role list, and whether your account has manage_options or manage_woocommerce. The current fallback is the sales view; changing Staff Access alone may not change every effective capability. A count disagrees with its source list Record the card label/value, source-list filters, timestamp/timezone, relevant record IDs, and active WooCommerce Subscriptions/GymCore AI state.

Expected: Launch approval is based on source records and named evidence, not a checklist badge. Do not use Quick Start as launch proof The WordPress Dashboard GymCore Quick Start widget appears only after the legacy setup-complete option is set.

Validate Gym Information first Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Setup and select Start Setup or the visible continue action. Expected: The next current step renders its form. The Gym Information step contains Gym name, Website, Contact email, and Phone. On Gym Information, submit a blank Gym name once before entering real values.

Communications and AI: leave outbound channels disabled until credentials, consent, recipients, provider logs, and rollback have been tested. Finish the wizard only after reviewing the summary. Expected: GymCore records wizard completion and exposes the normal admin destinations. Completion does not certify the high-risk flows in the runtime validation matrix.

In WooCommerce, record the source order, refund, payout, amount, and timestamp before testing its normal sync path. Match that source record to the GymCore sync-log entry and then to the transaction in the connected QuickBooks company. QuickBooks is the final accounting source; a queued action or local success message is not sufficient. If using Queue Re-Sync, confirm the date range and expected order count before submitting, then monitor each queued record.

For webhook-secret changes, confirm the masked ending matches the intended secret and verify the next genuine activation or renewal event updates the local status. Restore the previous secret only if it is still valid at the merchant service; deactivation and external transfers have separate effects.

Locations is an embedded owner workflow, not a WC-style Settings form. The old gym_core_require_location and gym_core_filter_products_by_location field definitions remain in source but are not rendered on this destination. Location manager The page shows: active-location plan usage and the installed consumer-readiness summary; current and archived locations; stable location key, name, timezone, address/contact data, coordinates, capacity, hours, and primary-location state; links to create, edit, review assignments, archive, or restore a location; CSV upload with mapping, dry-run review, and row-by-row apply that can report a partial result; bounded migration and rollback controls when their prerequisites are available. A location key becomes immutable after creation. Archive review identifies member and class assignments and requires a replacement where applicable. Plan limits and stale revisions block unsafe writes. Unreachable legacy field definitions Legacy option Source default Intended consumer Current UI status gym_core_require_location yes Visitor location selection Not rendered gym_core_filter_products_by_location yes Location-aware product queries Not rendered Do not tell an operator to use Save changes for these options. Their source definitions and any stored values do not prove current checkout, cart, kiosk, or catalog enforcement. Canonical location term metadata is not exposed through generic taxonomy REST. Use the Locations owner or a documented GymCore API so validation, plan limits, revision checks, and mutation evidence are preserved. Verify a supported location change Use fictional records on an authorized non-production site. Confirm plan capacity and take the required backup before mutation. Create or edit through the location owner form and verify the stable key, revision, primary status, timezone, hours, and address/contact fields after reload. For archive, review assignment counts, select the intended replacement, then verify members/classes and archive state together. For CSV import, complete mapping and dry-run review first. Do not apply if any row is invalid, conflicts, or exceeds the plan. Apply processes rows independently: if any row fails, stop, capture the created/updated IDs and row errors, reconcile the stored locations, and correct only the failed rows instead of blindly rerunning the file. Test each relevant consumer separately. A saved location does not certify catalog, cart, checkout, order, API, iCal, AI, kiosk, or report behavior. Expected: a direct owner action persists one concurrency-checked change. An import reports every successful and failed row; earlier successful rows can remain committed after a later failure. Reconcile the stored locations before any retry, and restore or roll back immediately if affected consumers disagree with source state.

Visible actions: the available controls depend on the data domain and its current state. They can include Save policy, Preview, Verify backup, Activate queued job, bounded job controls, scoped holds, transaction recovery, and privacy-tombstone replay. These controls can remove local data. A saved policy does not remove data, and a preview changes nothing. Do not activate or run a job until the owner has approved the retention period, the backup is verified, holds are clear, and the preview is current. What this page controls Data \u0026amp; Privacy separates local records into governed domains because conversations, approvals, member history, financial records, and backups have different owners and recordkeeping requirements. Each domain card shows: the authoritative owner; the configured policy; the effective policy; copies that may remain in connected services or with recipients; the controls available for that domain; the latest preview, job state, and PII-free receipt when present. This page does not run a person-specific privacy request, uninstall GymCore, delete backups, or remove records from WooCommerce, payment providers, QuickBooks, a CRM, messaging providers, or recipients.

DP-08 Consent, waivers, attendance, ranks, and member history Managed by WordPress Privacy and separate evidence policies; excluded from generic age-based removal. DP-09 WooCommerce, payment, subscription, refund, and accounting records Managed by WooCommerce and connected providers; this page does not delete them. DP-10 Local QuickBooks sync log Preview-only, with a 90-day source fallback and required backup attestation. QuickBooks and WooCommerce remain unchanged. DP-11 Operational, access, funnel, churn, outreach, and metadata logs Separate local stores; each needs an approved policy and exclusions. DP-12 Backups, restores, uninstall, and legacy AI plugin data Managed through operator and plugin-lifecycle procedures, not routine retention. Policy and job controls Save policy DP-01 exposes Keep AI conversations for with a source fallback of 30 days and an allowed range of 1–365 days. Save policy stores the configured period and invalidates an older preview. It does not make the policy effective and does not remove records. Preview Preview reads the current policy and reports: records eligible now; records protected by a hold; current writes; mutation safety; backup verification. Counts can change before a run. If a hold, current write, backup state, worker, or other safety check is unavailable, mutation remains blocked. Verify backup For domains that expose it, enter an opaque backup-manifest reference and select Verify backup. The reference must be 16–128 letters, numbers, underscores, or hyphens. Do not enter a backup URL, password, token, member name, or other sensitive value. Backup attestation records operator evidence. It does not inspect every backup copy or delete data from backups. Activate and run a queued job When the preview is current, safety is available, the worker exists, and backup requirements pass, the page can expose Activate queued job. The exact confirmation is shown beside the field. Activation queues the job but changes no governed records in that request. Run next batch performs one bounded batch. Pause, Resume, Retry, and Cancel job change the saved job state under the allowed lifecycle rules. The effective policy advances only after the exact policy version’s job completes. A saved or queued policy is not automatically effective. Holds and recovery Place scoped hold protects a specific opaque scope and invalidates existing previews. Release hold and require new preview requires the exact confirmation shown on the page. Recover expired transaction lease is an operator recovery action for a closed, expired prior transaction. Do not use it while the prior connection may still be active. Replay pending privacy erasures is for a restored site. It reapplies pending privacy tombstones after the required exact confirmation. These are advanced recovery and legal-safety controls. Stop and ask the approved data owner when authority, evidence, backup status, or hold scope is uncertain. Person-specific privacy requests For a request tied to a verified email address, use WordPress’s privacy tools instead of a retention job: Tools \u0026gt; Export Personal Data Tools \u0026gt; Erase Personal Data The Data \u0026amp; Privacy page also links to WordPress Privacy. Follow the privacy request guide because GymCore, WooCommerce, connected services, backups, and legal records have separate boundaries. Verify a change Reload Data \u0026amp; Privacy and confirm the configured and effective policy are shown separately. After saving a policy or recording backup evidence, run a new Preview. Confirm the preview shows verified counts or Unavailable; never interpret an unavailable count as zero. After activation, confirm the queued job ID and state before selecting Run next batch. After each batch, confirm the committed checkpoint and PII-free receipt. After completion, confirm the effective policy changed only for the completed domain and policy version. Check connected owners separately. A local receipt does not prove deletion from a provider, recipient, backup, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, or CRM.

Applies to: GymCore and the separate GymCore AI companion plugin GymCore keeps each setting with the part of the product that owns the work. Use the Settings search to find a control, then confirm the owner, prerequisites, and effect before saving. Start here In WordPress, open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings. The page groups settings by the work they control: Group Use it for Foundation Organization identity and licensing. Gym operations Locations, schedule, capacity, waitlists, and attendance. Member progress Rank systems, promotion rules, badges, and streaks. Growth \u0026amp; relationships Lead routing, referrals, waivers, and member outreach. Communications Channel readiness, providers, workflows, and delivery controls. Finance Membership pause policy and financial owner links. Governance \u0026amp; AI Staff access, data/privacy controls, and GymCore AI. Some results open another GymCore page. That is intentional. Twilio belongs to GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Communications \u0026gt; Channels \u0026amp; providers; active waivers belong to GymCore Students \u0026gt; Waiver Versions; and GymCore AI has its own hub and settings. Before you change a setting Check the Source of truth label. It names the page or system that controls the value, so you know where to make changes and where to confirm the result. Read the field description and prerequisites. Record the current value when the change affects members, messages, access, payments, privacy, or public content. Confirm the visible action. Some sections use Save changes; others use a protected action such as Publish, Activate, Rotate, or Run. Save only the section you reviewed. Test the workflow that uses the setting. A saved setting is not proof that a workflow is ready. A message still needs a configured provider, approved recipients, consent, and active Communications policy. An AI model still needs a passing readiness check and activation. A retention policy still needs its own review and activation. Default does not mean recommended GymCore uses four different states: Default: what GymCore uses when nothing has been saved. Saved value: what your site currently stores. Recommendation: a value suggested for your gym during setup or in documentation. Effective behavior: what GymCore can do now after permissions, services, approvals, and other gates are checked. A setup recommendation should help you start, not silently replace a choice you already made. When rerunning setup, review the summary before accepting changes. What the setup wizard can configure Depending on the setup flow and installed plugins, the wizard can collect or create: your gym name and WordPress site identity; locations and time zones; martial arts programs and starting belt templates; class programs and membership products; staff accounts; payment-provider readiness; Twilio provider details through the Communications owner; GymCore AI readiness. The wizard can save setup information or provider details, depending on the flow. Completing it does not by itself activate customer messaging, public publishing, accounting sync, retention actions, or an AI model. Review and activate each owner-controlled workflow separately. Settings that need extra care Messages and automations Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; Communications. Provider setup and workflow activation are separate: Set up the provider. Review channels and workflows. Confirm audiences, targets, consent, quiet hours, rates, and approvals. Activate only after the review is current. Changing Twilio credentials can return active Communications to review. This prevents messages from continuing under unreviewed provider settings. Access Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Staff Access. Lowering an access requirement can expose member, finance, or AI information to more people. Test with a non-administrator account. Do not rely only on a job title; the server checks permissions. Payments and accounting WooCommerce owns charges, refunds, renewals, payment methods, and subscription status. GymCore settings can add policy or integration intent, but they do not replace WooCommerce records. QuickBooks environment, credentials, accounts, categories, and settlement mappings have no universal default. Connect and verify them against the real QuickBooks company before enabling sync. Data and privacy Open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Data \u0026amp; Privacy. A configured retention number is not automatically active. Review the effective policy, backup status, preview, holds, and activation record. Export, erase, activate, and recovery actions have separate confirmations because they can affect personal data. GymCore AI GymCore AI is a separate companion plugin. Provider credentials remain in WordPress Connectors. GymCore AI settings control assistant presentation, response style, topic routing, webhook security, retention, and staff notifications. Leave custom prompts and identity overrides blank unless you need them. Blank values keep the built-in behavior and reduce configuration drift. Enabling an assistant does not grant new permissions or bypass action review. Verify your change Use the check that matches the setting: Setting area What to verify Organization Reload the page and check the affected member-facing label or app metadata. Locations Confirm the location exists, its time zone is correct, and assigned products/classes behave as expected. Schedule Create or inspect a test class; verify capacity, waitlist, and calendar behavior. Attendance Use a test member and class; verify the allowed check-in method and duplicate protection. Ranks Use a test member; compare the effective rank system, binding, and eligibility result. CRM Submit a fictional lead and confirm the contact, stage, tags, and assignment in the CRM. Referrals Confirm the typed revision and readiness; do not promise a reward until delivery is ready. Communications Use previews and approved test recipients; check delivery records and suppression behavior. Billing Verify the WooCommerce subscription and the GymCore policy result. Privacy Confirm the effective policy or durable job result, not only the configured value. GymCore AI Use fictional data; confirm provider readiness, response behavior, action review, and audit evidence. If a setting is missing Confirm you opened the current path, not an old WooCommerce settings URL. Search from GymCore Admin \u0026gt; GymCore Settings. Check whether the result opens an owner page such as Communications, Finance, Waiver Versions, or AI. Confirm the required plugin, license, connection, and permission are available. Ask a WordPress administrator to check the setting if your account does not have access. Do not edit the WordPress database as a routine workaround. Owner pages may validate, encrypt, version, audit, or coordinate changes that a direct option edit would bypass.

Your organization or hosting provider remains responsible for hosting, backups, updates, email delivery, security, and server access. GymCore AI is a separate companion plugin. Where do I start? Use Choose your path, then complete the launch checklist. Owners and administrators should also review the full Settings Reference. Why is a menu missing? Menus are capability-filtered and can also require a plugin/extension. Ask an administrator to compare the account with the roles and permissions matrix. Do not share an administrator login. Members, attendance, and ranks Why did a member check in twice? Confirm the class/date and Settings \u0026gt; Attendance \u0026gt; Prevent duplicate check-ins. That control blocks the same member in the same class/day, not every same-day attendance event. Correct the source attendance record and review the audit trail. Can I choose which kiosk methods appear? Gym Core 2.1.0 uses Check-in methods to show or hide name search in the current kiosk and to reject disabled REST check-in methods. It is not a replacement for kiosk authentication, device, or network security, and every installed QR/manual client still needs an end-to-end test. Do Ranks thresholds and custom Belt Systems control eligibility? Not reliably in the audited version. Eligibility reads a separate static/aggregate definition path. Use coach review and verify the effective rules before acting. See Rank systems and thresholds. Does changing the waiver version matter? Yes. Any change to Active version forces all members to re-sign. Treat it as a policy publication, not a normal text edit. Classes and locations Does Enable waitlist turn waitlists on or off? Gym Core 2.1.0 uses Enable waitlist to gate member UI, REST routes and mutations, MCP registration/execution, and auto-fill dispatch. Verify the installed full-class, cancellation, roster, and notification flow before telling members that placement or promotion is complete. Does Filter products by location prevent wrong-location purchases? The runtime consumer can filter WooCommerce product archives and product shortcodes when a visitor has an active location, but the corresponding legacy field definition is not rendered by the current Locations owner. It does not establish cart, checkout, sales-kiosk, or purchase authorization; inspect actual stored/runtime state and test every downstream path before launch. SMS and retention What must be ready before sending SMS? Provider ownership/readiness, administrator access to the Twilio credential form, sender, rate limit, member phone, consent/opt-out evidence, approved message, authorized role, and a successful supported test. Channels \u0026amp; providers provides the administrator-only credential form and Send test SMS action. See Configure SMS. Why is retention not running? Open Communications \u0026amp; Automations \u0026gt; Member Outreach and inspect launch, channel, workflow, consent, provider, and scheduler state. The retired dedicated Retention form is not rendered. Global SMS supplies the Twilio client for SMS sequences; the coach queue has separate runtime gates, and the old MailPoet path is retired. Can enabling SMS start outreach? Not by itself. Global SMS only supplies the Twilio client. External retention SMS also requires enabled Communications launch, channel, workflow, consent, rate, duplicate, and provider gates. Review migrated intent and every sequence before activation. Billing and referrals Where are payment processors configured? In WooCommerce, not GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Billing. GymCore Billing currently controls the annual membership-freeze limit. Finance Copilot and QuickBooks have separate surfaces. How are referral rewards configured? Choose one typed mode under GymCore Settings \u0026gt; Referrals: WooCommerce fixed-cart coupon, integer outbound-message credits, or a registered receipt-based custom handler. Message-credit and custom modes require external PHP registrations that current Gym Core does not provide. Readiness is checked when an enabled revision is saved, not continuously at attribution. Keep Program enabled off until the complete fictional referral and delivery path passes on a non-production site. GymCore AI Is there a public website chatbot? No current public visitor chatbot is documented or supported by the audited source. GymCore AI is a signed-in staff/admin interface. White Label does not change that boundary. Where do I configure the AI provider and model? Configure credentials in WordPress Settings \u0026gt; Connectors. Then open GymCore Admin \u0026gt; AI \u0026gt; Connections \u0026amp; Security \u0026gt; Provider and model, refresh the authoritative catalog, save an exact model draft, run readiness, and activate it. GymCore AI never reads, copies, or stores provider credentials. Why did changing Conversation retention not remove an action? That setting purges conversations/messages only. Pending actions, approvals, execution results, and Audit Log records have no configurable automatic purge in the audited source. Does an AI answer mean the data changed? No. Read the source record. Write tools queue a pending action, require review, and must reach completed. Then verify the owning GymCore/WooCommerce/provider record. Can MCP clients call GymCore tools? When WordPress Abilities API and an MCP adapter are installed and authenticated, registered abilities can be exposed. Capability checks and write approvals still apply, but the external client may retain data. See MCP abilities. Privacy, security, and support Does Erase Personal Data remove everything everywhere? No. GymCore deletes selected user meta/rank history and anonymizes attendance, but WooCommerce, CRM, AI action history, model providers, Slack, SMS, backups, and integrations need separate review. What should I send support? Exact menu/URL, timestamp and timezone, affected record IDs, expected result, actual result, error text, plugin versions, and safe diagnostics. Remove member data, credentials, webhook URLs, secrets, payment data, and full phone/email values.

For: Gym owners, site administrators, and managers Access needed: Your account must have permission for the section you want to view or change. Applies to: GymCore and the separate GymCore AI companion plugin
GymCore keeps each setting with the part of the product that owns the work. Use the Settings search to find a control, then confirm the owner, prerequisites, and effect before saving.
Start here
In WordPress, open GymCore Admin > GymCore Settings.
The page groups settings by the work they control:
| Group | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Foundation | Organization identity and licensing. |
| Gym operations | Locations, schedule, capacity, waitlists, and attendance. |
| Member progress | Rank systems, promotion rules, badges, and streaks. |
| Growth & relationships | Lead routing, referrals, waivers, and member outreach. |
| Communications | Channel readiness, providers, workflows, and delivery controls. |
| Finance | Membership pause policy and financial owner links. |
| Governance & AI | Staff access, data/privacy controls, and GymCore AI. |
Some results open another GymCore page. That is intentional. Twilio belongs to GymCore Admin > Communications > Channels & providers; active waivers belong to GymCore Students > Waiver Versions; and GymCore AI has its own hub and settings.
Before you change a setting
- Check the Source of truth label. It names the page or system that controls the value, so you know where to make changes and where to confirm the result.
- Read the field description and prerequisites.
- Record the current value when the change affects members, messages, access, payments, privacy, or public content.
- Confirm the visible action. Some sections use Save changes; others use a protected action such as Publish, Activate, Rotate, or Run.
- Save only the section you reviewed.
- Test the workflow that uses the setting.
A saved setting is not proof that a workflow is ready. A message still needs a configured provider, approved recipients, consent, and active Communications policy. An AI model still needs a passing readiness check and activation. A retention policy still needs its own review and activation.
Default does not mean recommended
GymCore uses four different states:
- Default: what GymCore uses when nothing has been saved.
- Saved value: what your site currently stores.
- Recommendation: a value suggested for your gym during setup or in documentation.
- Effective behavior: what GymCore can do now after permissions, services, approvals, and other gates are checked.
A setup recommendation should help you start, not silently replace a choice you already made. When rerunning setup, review the summary before accepting changes.
What the setup wizard can configure
Depending on the setup flow and installed plugins, the wizard can collect or create:
- your gym name and WordPress site identity;
- locations and time zones;
- martial arts programs and starting belt templates;
- class programs and membership products;
- staff accounts;
- payment-provider readiness;
- Twilio provider details through the Communications owner;
- GymCore AI readiness.
The wizard can save setup information or provider details, depending on the flow. Completing it does not by itself activate customer messaging, public publishing, accounting sync, retention actions, or an AI model. Review and activate each owner-controlled workflow separately.
Settings that need extra care
Messages and automations
Open GymCore Admin > Communications.
Provider setup and workflow activation are separate:
- Set up the provider.
- Review channels and workflows.
- Confirm audiences, targets, consent, quiet hours, rates, and approvals.
- Activate only after the review is current.
Changing Twilio credentials can return active Communications to review. This prevents messages from continuing under unreviewed provider settings.
Access
Open GymCore Admin > GymCore Settings > Staff Access.
Lowering an access requirement can expose member, finance, or AI information to more people. Test with a non-administrator account. Do not rely only on a job title; the server checks permissions.
Payments and accounting
WooCommerce owns charges, refunds, renewals, payment methods, and subscription status. GymCore settings can add policy or integration intent, but they do not replace WooCommerce records.
QuickBooks environment, credentials, accounts, categories, and settlement mappings have no universal default. Connect and verify them against the real QuickBooks company before enabling sync.
Data and privacy
Open GymCore Admin > GymCore Settings > Data & Privacy.
A configured retention number is not automatically active. Review the effective policy, backup status, preview, holds, and activation record. Export, erase, activate, and recovery actions have separate confirmations because they can affect personal data.
GymCore AI
GymCore AI is a separate companion plugin. Provider credentials remain in WordPress Connectors. GymCore AI settings control assistant presentation, response style, topic routing, webhook security, retention, and staff notifications.
Leave custom prompts and identity overrides blank unless you need them. Blank values keep the built-in behavior and reduce configuration drift. Enabling an assistant does not grant new permissions or bypass action review.
Verify your change
Use the check that matches the setting:
| Setting area | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Organization | Reload the page and check the affected member-facing label or app metadata. |
| Locations | Confirm the location exists, its time zone is correct, and assigned products/classes behave as expected. |
| Schedule | Create or inspect a test class; verify capacity, waitlist, and calendar behavior. |
| Attendance | Use a test member and class; verify the allowed check-in method and duplicate protection. |
| Ranks | Use a test member; compare the effective rank system, binding, and eligibility result. |
| CRM | Submit a fictional lead and confirm the contact, stage, tags, and assignment in the CRM. |
| Referrals | Confirm the typed revision and readiness; do not promise a reward until delivery is ready. |
| Communications | Use previews and approved test recipients; check delivery records and suppression behavior. |
| Billing | Verify the WooCommerce subscription and the GymCore policy result. |
| Privacy | Confirm the effective policy or durable job result, not only the configured value. |
| GymCore AI | Use fictional data; confirm provider readiness, response behavior, action review, and audit evidence. |
If a setting is missing
- Confirm you opened the current path, not an old WooCommerce settings URL.
- Search from GymCore Admin > GymCore Settings.
- Check whether the result opens an owner page such as Communications, Finance, Waiver Versions, or AI.
- Confirm the required plugin, license, connection, and permission are available.
- Ask a WordPress administrator to check the setting if your account does not have access.
Do not edit the WordPress database as a routine workaround. Owner pages may validate, encrypt, version, audit, or coordinate changes that a direct option edit would bypass.
