Beschreibung

Client Power Tools is built for independent contractors, consultants, and professionals. Give your clients a dashboard where they can check on the status of their project, access information and resources in your clients-only knowledge base, view other clients-only pages, and communicate with you—right on your own website!

Front-End Onboarding & Login

All client interactions happen on the front end of your website, with clean modal forms for logging in—without a password! Client Power Tools will simply blend in with most themes.

The Client Dashboard

Clients can log in to their dashboard on your website at any time.

The dashboard uses regular WordPress pages, so you can add your client dashboard to your menus just like any other page. Or you can include a link to it anywhere you need to, like your blog posts, email newsletters, etc. The only difference is that the client dashboard is only visible to logged-in clients.

You can change the name or permalink of the default dashboard page, or select a different page entirely.

Modules

Each module can be enabled or disabled independently of the rest.

Status Update Request Button Module

Your clients want to know how things are going!

The status update request button on the client dashboard makes it easy for clients to prompt you for a status update. Once a client clicks the button, they won’t see it again for 30 days—or you can change that number to an interval that works for you.

You can designate an additional email address to receive all status update requests so you can respond efficiently.

Messages Module

Using Client Power Tools to communicate with your clients keeps all your messages in one place so nothing gets lost.

When you send a message to your client, they will receive an email notification with a link to their client dashboard so they can read it and reply. Or you can send them the full message—by default or on a message-by-message basis.

Knowledge Base Module

The knowledge base is a clients-only page—or a collection of pages—you can use to share information and resources with your clients.

Just like the client dashboard, the knowledge base is a regular WordPress page with some special features. You can add as many child pages as you like—the knowledge base tab will use a drop-down index and breadcrumb navigation to help your clients find their way around.

Customization

Client Power Tools is built to be customizable where you need it to be. Here are some of the things you can change to suit your needs:

  • Enable/disable all non-core modules. (As of 1.4, the non-core modules are the Status Update Request Button, Messaging, and Knowledge Base.)
  • Additional pages. Restrict any page on your website to logged-in clients.
  • New-client email. You can customize the email sent to newly added clients so that it reflects the name, email address, subject line, and messaging you prefer.
  • Client IDs. When adding or updating a client, you can add a custom client ID.
  • Client statuses. You can customize the default statuses (potential, active, inactive).
  • Client managers. You can set a default client manager and assign a different client manager to each client.
  • Show/hide the status update request button. The status update request button is a great way to empower your clients, but if you don’t want to use it you can turn it off.
  • Status update request frequency. Change how often the status update request button is available to your clients.
  • Status update request recipient. Designate one person to get notified of all status update requests.
  • Email notifications. By default, Client Power Tools sends a notification, not the content of your message. But you can change the default behavior or override it for individual messages.
  • Design. The front-end design of Client Power Tools is as minimal as possible so that Client Power Tools blends into your existing theme. But you can override the Client Power Tools styles as long as you know a little CSS. (See the documentation for more details.)

Installation

Automatic

Automatic installation is the easiest option. To do an automatic install of Client Power Tools, log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins / Add New. Enter “Client Power Tools“ in the search field. To install Client Power Tools, click the Install Now button, then activate it by clicking the Activate button.

Manual

In order to install Client Power Tools manually, you will need to download the plugin here, then upload it to WordPress or use FTP software to upload it to your web server. Visit the WordPress Codex for manual installation instructions.

Updating

I recommend enabling automatic updates for Client Power Tools. To enable automatic updates, log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins / Installed Plugins. Look for Client Power Tools and click Enable auto-updates in the Automatic Updates column.

FAQ

Where can I find Client Power Tools documentation and resources?

For help using Client Power Tools, see the documentation.

I’m getting a warning that says my website is not using SSL (HTTPS). Should I be worried?

You can use Client Power Tools even if your website does not have an SSL certificate, but you should probably get one. For more information, see the Securing WordPress for Client Power Tools resource page.

Where is my client dashboard? Where is my knowledge base?

You can find your client dashboard by checking your Client Power Tools settings page. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Client Power Tools / Settings and look for the Client Dashboard Page and „Knowledge Base Page“ selection fields. There will be a link to your current pages, as well.

You should probably add your client dashboard to your website navigation menu so it is easy for clients to find. You may want to add your knowledge base, as well, if you want clients to be able to find it without going to their dashboard first. If you need help with this, see the documentation.

How do I add pages to my knowledge base?

To add pages to your knowledge base, just go to the page you want to add (or create a new page) and look for the Page Attributes widget in the sidebar. Select your knowledge base page from the Parent Page drop-down and save the page. Now the page will appear as a sub-page in your knowledge base.
