Description
ManageGlut turns WordPress into a management system you design yourself. Create a service (for example School Management), add modules (Students, Classes, Fees), and drag fields onto each module’s form. The plugin generates the admin menu, the list page with statistics, the add and edit forms, roles and permissions.
Two separate admin areas
- Builder – create and edit services, modules and fields, switch services on or off, manage roles and settings.
- Service menus – every running service gets its own top-level menu with its own dashboard and modules. People working in one service never see the others.
Features
- Drag and drop field builder with 13 field types: text, long text, number, price, email, phone, select, radio, toggle, date, time, image and relation to another module.
- Generated list pages: statistic cards, status tabs, search, sorting, pagination, bulk delete and CSV export.
- Generated add and edit forms with validation (required, unique, minimum and maximum).
- Ready-made, editable templates: School, Restaurant, Hotel and POS.
- Role builder with a permission grid (view, add, edit, delete) for every module. Menus and buttons are hidden when a role has no permission.
- Front-end shortcodes:
[manageglut_register],[manageglut_login],[manageglut_profile]. - Data stays on your site. Nothing is sent to external services.
Not included
The templates are starting points made of lists and forms. They do not include a sales screen, stock deduction, booking calendars or accounting.

FAQ
-
Where is my data stored?
-
In three database tables created on activation (
manageglut_services,manageglut_modules,manageglut_records). Record values are stored as JSON, so changing a module’s fields never changes the database structure. -
Does deleting the plugin delete my data?
-
Not by default. Switch on “Delete all services, records, roles and settings when the plugin is deleted” in Settings first if you want that.
-
Can visitors register as administrators?
-
No. New registrations always get the role chosen in Settings, and roles that can manage the site are refused.
-
Does it connect to any external service?
-
No. All scripts, styles and fonts are bundled with the plugin.
