Marivya Lesson Planner<\/strong> helps tutors, private teachers, language teachers and coaches manage students, lessons and shared materials inside WordPress.<\/p>\n\n

It includes a simple Student Portal<\/strong> that students can open via a magic link<\/strong> or PIN<\/strong>, so they can see upcoming lessons and notes without creating WordPress accounts.<\/p>\n\n

Highlights<\/strong>\n- Manage Students<\/strong>, Lessons<\/strong>, and Materials<\/strong> as dedicated WordPress admin screens.\n- Create recurring lesson copies<\/strong> from one lesson: weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly.\n- Use lesson fields for date, time, duration, status, meeting link, notes and homework.\n- Move lessons in the weekly calendar with drag and drop.\n- Attach materials to a student or keep them global.\n- Give students portal access via magic link or PIN.\n- Send teacher email reminders and export upcoming lessons as an ICS calendar file.\n- WordPress privacy integration: personal data exporter<\/strong> and eraser<\/strong>.\n- No telemetry. No external services required.<\/p>\n\n

Simple recurring lessons are included in the free version.<\/strong> A future Pro add-on may add advanced recurring rules, student reminders, billing helpers and a richer portal.<\/p>\n\n

\n

This plugin is independent and not affiliated with any LMS vendor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

How it works<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. Create a Student<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Add a Lesson<\/strong> with date, time and duration.<\/li>\n
  3. In the lesson editor, use Repeat lesson<\/strong> to create future weekly, biweekly or monthly lesson copies.<\/li>\n
  4. Optionally attach Materials<\/strong> to the student.<\/li>\n
  5. Open a student and use the Student Portal access<\/strong> box to generate a magic link or set a PIN.<\/li>\n
  6. Students access the portal from the link or by PIN. A secure session cookie keeps them logged in for 30 days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Privacy<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • Includes a personal data exporter<\/strong> and eraser<\/strong> (Tools \u2192 Export\/Erase Personal Data<\/code>).<\/li>\n
    • Student portal session cookie: marivya_lp_portal<\/code> (HTTP-only, SameSite=Lax, Secure on HTTPS), expires in 30 days.<\/li>\n
    • Magic links expire after a chosen number of days (default 7).<\/li>\n
    • No personal data is sent to third parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/marivya-lesson-planner\/<\/code> directory or install via Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. A Student Portal<\/strong> page is created automatically (you can change the URL later).<\/li>\n
      4. Go to Students<\/strong> and create your first student.<\/li>\n
      5. Add one lesson or create a recurring lesson series from the lesson editor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Can I create recurring lessons in the free version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Open or create a lesson, set its date and time, then use the Repeat lesson<\/strong> box. You can create weekly, every-2-weeks or monthly copies. Existing matching lessons for the same student, date and time are skipped.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does recurring editing change the whole series later?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The free recurring feature creates future lesson copies once. Each generated lesson can then be edited independently.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I send a magic link to a student?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Open a Student<\/strong> in the admin and use the Student Portal access<\/strong> box to generate and copy the link, or send it via email from the same screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I use a PIN instead of a link?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Set a PIN in the same Student Portal access<\/strong> box. PIN attempts are rate-limited and the PIN is stored as a hash.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Where is the portal page URL set?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        A portal page is created on activation. You can change the base URL used in student access links in Marivya Lesson Planner \u2192 Settings \u2192 Student Portal<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does the plugin add a frontend login or user accounts?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. Students access their portal via a time-limited token link or a PIN; no WP user accounts are created.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I export or erase personal data?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Use WordPress tools: Tools \u2192 Export Personal Data<\/strong> \/ Tools \u2192 Erase Personal Data<\/strong>. The plugin registers its own exporter\/eraser.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does uninstall remove all data?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        By default, options and sensitive portal metadata are removed, while CPT content (students\/lessons\/materials) is preserved.\nYou can force full removal via:\n define( 'MARIVYA_LP_DELETE_ALL_DATA_ON_UNINSTALL', true );\nor by hooking:\n add_filter( 'marivya_lp_uninstall_remove_content', '__return_true' );<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
