Remove off period is a WordPress ability from LatePoint — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Remove off period
DestructivePermanently delete an off/blocked period by ID, freeing those times up for bookings again.
Requires the LatePoint plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WordPress Abilities API is only available from 6.9 onward). All abilities also require the site's 'latepoint_abilities_api' master toggle to be enabled; write abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_edit' setting, and destructive abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' setting. Each ability further requires the current user to hold the matching LatePoint capability (e.g. 'booking__view', 'customer__edit'), and some abilities also verify the user is allowed to act on that specific record.
What it does
This ability permanently deletes a single LatePoint off period identified by its numeric id. It first confirms the period actually exists, returning a 'not_found' error if it doesn't, then deletes the record and returns a 'delete_failed' error if the deletion itself fails at the database level. On success, the off period is gone and those dates become bookable again.
