I manage a WordPress site for a softball club. The softball field is occasionally closed due to weather conditions. The ‘Field Status’ is displayed in a block on the home page. It shows either “**Field Status: Open**” (Open in green) or “**Field Status: Closed**” (Closed in red).
To change the status I manually edit the page and publish it.
I’d like the ability for a small number of people to do something to cause the displayed status to change without anyone (me) having to modify the page each time.
The website is open to all, with no registration or login.
I envision something like having a page that is known by a few and addressed only directly ([www.website.com/fieldstatustoggle]). That page would simply have two radio button options, open and closed. The status displayed on the home page would depend on which radio button is picked.
The solution does not have to be exactly like that, that’s just an idea.
I’ve found plugins for store hours and others based on user roles and such but not a value elsewhere in the website.
Any suggestions?

Some form plugins will change a database entry when you submit them. You could have your radio buttons and click submit..
Like this for instance
Can’t help you more than suggesting you search Form plugins submit database change.
I feel suggesting a code way would be a waste of time
