Fitness Diary

  • Hello,

    Would anybody know if it is possible to achieve the following with WordPress?
    I am wanting clients to be able to visit my personal training site then be able to
    log in to their own individual private fitness diary where client and trainer could
    interact via posts or messages. A little bit like a support forum attached to the
    website but where clients can only see posts related to them and no other clients posts.

    If anyone has info on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.

  • This is very possible within WordPress. There are a couple ways, both based around the idea of Roles and Capabilities.

    One way would be to set-up a WordPress Multi-Site installation, with each client getting their own blog, which they would be an Author on (and no other blogs). The trainer would be an Editor or Admin on every blog, allowing them to see and comment on all blogs in the network. Then use a plugin like Private Only to keep the blogs private and members-only.

    Another way would require a bit more coding ability: Create a script on a single blog, which runs before any page is loaded. If the logged-in user requesting the page is the fitness trainer OR the author of the post, the post is loaded. If the requester is not the trainer, author, or not logged in, they are given an error message or maybe redirected.

    Hope this helps, feel free to reply if you’re still confused.

    Thanks for your help Odai. Will have an experiment with a multi-site installation and see how I go.

    I may need to source the help of someone with some better coding ability.

    You can probably do it, but if you can’t, feel free to keep replying in this thread. I’ll try to help you to the best of my ability.
