Description

LucrativeIT Project Manager with Feedback is a complete WordPress project management plugin. Plan work on drag-and-drop kanban boards, track bugs and tasks, assign them to your team, and collect annotated screenshot feedback from visitors and clients — all inside your own WordPress admin.

Everything runs on your own site. There is no external account to create, no per-seat subscription, and no project data leaving your server. Your projects, tasks, comments, and feedback live in your WordPress database.

Why use this plugin

Project management and client feedback in one place. Most WordPress plugins give you either a task board or a feedback form. This one connects them: a visitor report becomes a task on the right project board automatically.
Visual bug reports. Reporters annotate a screenshot of the exact page they are looking at, so you get the URL, the browser, and a picture instead of “the button looks broken”.
Works on sites you do not control. A copy-paste embed script collects feedback from staging sites, non-WordPress sites, and static builds, and files it back to your board.
Granular team access. Staff are ordinary WordPress Subscribers with plugin-scoped roles, so you never hand out administrator accounts to see a board.
No page builder or theme lock-in. The admin app and the front-end widget work with any theme.

How to add the feedback widget to a project

Feedback on this WordPress site is assigned to the project you choose in
Project Manager Settings Feedback widget Frontend project. For
external sites, add the live site URL on the project first.

Open Project Manager Manage Project.
Create a project or open an existing one and click Edit.
In Project URLs, add the live site URL where visitors will leave feedback
(for example https://example.com). Add multiple URLs if needed.
Click Save Changes.

Then choose the step that matches your site:

If this plugin is already installed on that WordPress site
1. Go to Project Manager Settings Feedback widget.
2. Enable the floating button and choose the Frontend project that should
receive reports. You can also set color, position, and text.
3. Save. No theme code is required. Reports from this site become tasks on
the selected project.

If it is a WordPress site without this plugin
1. Open the project and click Feedback Widget (also available from the
project sidebar menu, or the Widget button on the Manage Project card).
2. Click Copy Script.
3. Paste the script into that site’s header using a header/footer insertion
plugin or your child theme’s header.php (do not edit parent theme files
directly). Place it before the closing </head> tag.

If it is a non-WordPress site
1. Open the project and click Feedback Widget (also available from the
project sidebar menu, or the Widget button on the Manage Project card).
2. Click Copy Script.
3. Paste the script into your site’s HTML — in the <head> or just before the
closing </body> tag — then deploy or save the page.

The embed script loads JavaScript and CSS only from this WordPress site
(the plugin’s own files). It does not download executable code from third-party
CDNs. Submissions from matching page URLs are added as tasks on that project board.

External services

This plugin does not phone home or send data to LucrativeIT servers by default.

Local WordPress widget: Runs on your site. Submissions go to your own
WordPress REST API.
External embed (optional): When you install the embed script on another
site, that site loads the widget scripts from your WordPress install and
posts feedback to your site’s REST API. Only use the embed on sites you
control or have permission to modify.
SMTP (optional): If you configure Gmail or custom SMTP in Settings, email
is sent through the mail host you provide.

Privacy

When a visitor submits feedback, your site may store:

Description / message text
Reporter name (optional) and email (required)
Page URL and browser user agent
Annotated screenshot image (uploaded to your Media / uploads directory)

Site owners should disclose this collection in their privacy policy. No feedback
data is sent to LucrativeIT unless you separately configure an external service.

Third-party libraries

html2canvas (MIT License) — bundled locally
for screenshot capture. Source: public/js/html2canvas.min.js.

Notes

All data is stored in dedicated custom database tables (created on
activation) — no custom post types are used.
Access is controlled by Project Manager roles and module permissions
(Settings Roles & permissions). Staff created in the plugin are WordPress
Subscribers and use a PM role for module access.
This plugin does not provide PHP/JavaScript code editors, file managers, or
remote code execution features.

Screenshots

Dashboard with KPIs, completion charts, and recent activity across all projects.

Installation

Upload the lucrativeit-project-manager-with-feedback-kanban-boards-tasks folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
Go to the new “Project Manager” menu in wp-admin to start using your first board (created automatically on activation).
Visit “Project Manager Settings” to customize roles, email, or the public feedback widget.

FAQ

Is this a full project management plugin, or just a feedback form?

Both. It ships kanban boards, projects, tasks with types and priorities,
assignees, due dates, attachments, threaded comments, and an activity log. The
visual feedback widget is an additional way for tasks to be created.

Do I need an external account or subscription?

No. The plugin runs entirely on your WordPress install and stores data in its own
database tables on your server. No account, API key, or third-party service is
required to use the free features.

How many projects, boards, or tasks can I create?

There is no limit imposed by the plugin.

Can clients or visitors submit feedback without a WordPress account?

Yes. The floating feedback button works for logged-out visitors. Submissions are
rate limited, and you can turn the widget off entirely in Settings.

Can I collect feedback from a site that does not run WordPress?

Yes. Each project provides a copy-paste embed script you can paste into any HTML
page, including staging sites and static builds. Feedback from that page is filed
as a task on the matching project board.

How does the plugin know which project a report belongs to?

On the WordPress site where this plugin is installed, choose the project under
Settings Feedback widget Frontend project. External embed reports are
matched by the project’s embed key and Project URL. See “How to add the
feedback widget to a project” below.

Does the screenshot capture send my page to a third-party service?

No. Screenshots are rendered in the visitor’s browser with a locally bundled copy
of html2canvas and uploaded to your own site’s uploads directory.

Can I give my team access without making them administrators?

Yes. Staff are created as WordPress Subscribers and given a plugin-scoped role
(PM Admin, Project Manager, Team Member, or a custom role) that controls which
modules they can open. Non-administrators only see the projects they belong to.

Does it use custom post types?

No. All data is stored in dedicated custom database tables created on activation,
so your posts, pages, and media library stay untouched.

Does it work with any theme?

Yes. The admin interface is a self-contained app in wp-admin, and the front-end
feedback button is injected in the footer, so no theme template changes are
needed.

Will my data be deleted if I uninstall?

No. Your projects, tasks, and feedback are kept by default, so you can reinstall
without losing anything. If you want the plugin to drop its tables and options
when it is deleted, opt in first by adding this to wp-config.php:

define( 'LUCRPM_REMOVE_DATA_ON_UNINSTALL', true );

Is there a Pro version?

Yes. Reports, milestones, time tracking, and email replies to task comments are
available in the Pro add-on. All features listed under “Free features” work
without it.

Changelog

1.4.6

The public feedback modal now blocks clicks on the page behind it while open.

1.4.5

Settings Feedback widget now includes a Frontend project option so you can
choose which project receives reports from this WordPress site.

1.4.4

Guest feedback submissions that use a project_key are now bound to that
key’s project. A valid key for one project can no longer create feedback
assigned to a different project_id.
The feedback create handler no longer trusts a client-supplied project_id
on its own: keyed requests are assigned to the key’s project, and logged-in
users may only target a project they can access.

1.4.3

Replaced the generic can_view / can_edit / can_manage REST permission
callbacks with per-object checks, and removed them from the base controller
so no route can fall back to a generic check. Every route now resolves the
project that owns the requested record and authorises against that project,
so a task, sprint or label ID belonging to another project can no longer be
read, changed or deleted by guessing its ID.
Task, label and sprint collection endpoints now require a project_id the
caller can access; only administrators may list across all projects.
Creating a task now verifies that the board, column and sprint all belong to
the requested project, and re-ordering a column can only affect tasks in that
same project.
The settings endpoints now require manage_options; being able to publish
pages or manage projects no longer grants access to global settings.
Listing assignable users now requires task or project management permission,
so the endpoint cannot be used to enumerate site users.

1.4.2

Every REST API route registered by the plugin now has a permission_callback
that performs a real authorisation check. The two public endpoints (feedback
submission and embed configuration) no longer return true unconditionally:
they require the feedback widget to be enabled plus either a valid wp_rest
nonce or a project key that matches an existing project.
Added explicit logged-in checks to the project, task, status, comment, and
staff permission callbacks.
Updating or deleting a task now requires permission to manage tasks, not just
membership of the project.
Mail-server credentials and the notification address can only be changed by
users with manage_options, even when the plugin’s Settings module has been
delegated to another role.

1.4.1

Tighten REST API permission checks so project, board, feedback, label, and
task-status actions are scoped to the requested object.

1.4.0

Version bump.

1.3.9

Feedback widget description field, stronger public feedback validation,
rate limiting, and WordPress.org guideline compliance updates.

1.3.5

Plugin Check / wordpress.org compliance updates.
Boards, issues, comments, activity log, feedback widget, and settings.
