21 days to make a change in your life

Scientists have calculated that an average of 21 days are required to be established as a habit in your life, if done repeatedly on those days. LifePress offers a great platform to record your repeated attempts at learning a new talent or practice to improve for 21 days. If you record these repeated attempts in LifePress, you can easily look back and see when you started the 21 day challenge, when you fell off, and how you are making progress.

Own your personal Journal Data

With LifePress, journal entry data is all yours. Your personal data is privately saved only in your database and only you can see them. Each logged in user will have their own separate LifePress calendar.

Business Applications

LifePress is a great solution for business organizations that want to influence their members to record daily entries to track progress in a calendar format. Each user’s data is only visible to that user and admin in the calendar, which makes it a great team empowering solution. This would be an ideal solution for life coaches, fitness instructors, physical/life therapists who want their clients to record progressive data to help their clients make tangible changes in life.

LifePress Pro – Coming Soon!

As we have received several requests to improve the lifepress plugin for greater application, we are developing the Lifepress Pro, plugin as an extension to LifePress that will bring greater data metric information for calendar entries. We are also hoping in future iterations to implement data visualization for weekly and monthly data aggregates and ability to set goals and calculate progress towards them.
Update (Aug 2024) We are hoping to get this Pro version out as we release version 2.1 and continue to put time into LifePress development.

FAQ

Some months do not load entries, what could I do?

In version 2.0.2 we added option in LifePress setting “Month data loading method” switch this to “Load fresh data at all times”. This will force the calendar to load a fresh copy of data from database everytime a month is switched, instead of using previously loaded month data.

Can users see other’s data?

No, only the user with administrator permission can see all the entries from backend. Event entry records are saved for each user.

Is there a limit to how many entries I can submit?

No, there is no limit to how many entries you can submit. It is unlimited.

Can I set the default view style?

Yes, you can set default view style from month view to week view from Settings > LifePress Settings > Default Dashboard View

Can I display the dashboard on any page?

Not at this moment. Right now it is only visible on the lifepress page created automatically.

Can I show other post types in the lifePress dashboard?

No, only the lifepress created custom post types with slug lp_entry can be shown in the dashboard.

I just installed the plugin – it looks great. One small problem: in the “Month view”, the day of the week is wrong. It displays the previous day of the week – it’s off by one. The “Week view” is correct. This should be an easy code fix – can you correct this error and issue an update?
