Guru Project Manager

• Super Admin
• Admin
• Manager
• Team Member
• Viewer / Client

WordPress Administrators automatically qualify as Guru Super Admins. Additional Guru Super Admins can be assigned from the Team screen.

A project member can receive a Manager override for an individual project without changing their global Guru role.

Payments

Project payments support:

• Multiple payment entries per user and project.
• Optional milestone relationship.
• Paid: Yes or No.
• Automatic paid date/time when changed to Yes.
• Paid date cleared when changed back to No.
• Payment activity is sensitive and visible only to Guru Super Admins.
• Super Admin payment views group records by project user in expandable accordions.
• Normal users can only see their own payment records.

Shortcodes

[guru_project_manager]

Displays the full permission-aware frontend project workflow for the logged-in user. Frontend project navigation and actions are AJAX-driven and popup/modal-safe.

[guru_project_payments]

Displays project payments for the logged-in user. Guru Super Admins see all users and all payments in expandable user accordions.

Notifications

Built-in WordPress email notifications can be enabled or disabled for:

• Project created
• Project member added
• Project completed
• Task assigned
• Task completed
• Milestone completed
• Discussion added
• Payment added
• Payment marked paid
• Task due soon
• Task overdue
• Task status changed
• Task note added
• Task reassigned
• Milestone due soon
• Milestone overdue
• Project member removed
• Project status changed
• Task due date changed
• Milestone date changed
• New file uploaded
• Project due date changed

New notification types are enabled by default. The Due Soon Window applies to both task and milestone due soon emails. Notification settings are available under Guru Project Manager > Settings.

Data Safety

Deactivation does not remove Guru Project Manager data. Uninstall also preserves data by default. Guru Super Admins can explicitly enable “Delete all Guru Project Manager data on uninstall” under Settings. When enabled, uninstall removes the plugin’s custom tables, options, role metadata, and scheduled notification hook without deleting WordPress users or Media Library attachments.
