    Hello. I love the plugin, and I’m trying to build new features for my website around it.

    I need to call the Simply Schedule Appointments code from other PHP code running on the same server as the WordPress instance.

    I want to be able to write scripts which can make appointments along side the Web Interface itself.

    Any help in this is most appreciated.

    Hi there, just to confirm, this is from PHP code on the same server, but your code will live outside of WordPress?

    Yes that’s right.

    If I had to write it as a WordPress plugin, I suppose I could, but I didn’t really want to do that.

    Hi @mbaysek

    It’s possible for you to load WordPress externally, with an external file. Something like:

    
<?php
include '/path/to/wordpress_directory/wp-load.php'; // now you can access WP functions, plugins, etc.

$ssa = ssa(); // this is our main SSA class

$ssa->appointment_model->insert( array(
  'start_date' => '2019-10-31 09:00:00' // UTC timezone
  // ... other params go here as well
) );

    should get you started
