Built with the WordPress philosophy in mind, it provides a Trello-like kanban board interface for managing bugs, feature requests, and project tasks. #### Key Features * **Kanban Board Interface** – Drag-and-drop issues between and within fully customizable status columns * **Automatic Context Capture** – Browser info, page context, and technical details are saved with each bug report submitted from the front end * **Built for WordPress** – Uses native WordPress components, post types, taxonomies and database tables * **Extensibility** – Developers can add custom functions and integrations via conventional WordPress actions & filters * **Respects User Permissions** – Integrates with WordPress user roles and capabilities * **Screenshot Capture** – See exactly what the user saw, captured and processed locally within the browser * **Comment and Activity Thread** – A unified view of each issue’s progress, supporting attachment uploads and user mentions * **Priority Management** – Flag high-priority items and set deadlines * **Assignee System** – Assign issues and checklist items to team members * **Email Notifications** – Instant or daily digest email notifications for the issues you care about * **Translation Ready** – Fully localized and ready for translation into any language( including RTL support) * **No Artificial Limitations** – Use on as many sites, with as many users, issues, attachments and interactions as you need #### Perfect For * Freelance developers managing client sites * Small agencies tracking bugs and feature requests * Development teams needing lightweight project management * Clients performing QA on a new site * Account managers responsible for rolling retainer contracts * Enterprises and government bodies needing extra reassurance on hosting #### How It Works Clients don’t have the time or knowledge to provide detailed technical reports when they spot a problem. But developers can’t do their job without that detail. Alpaca Issue Tracker solves this by automatically capturing all the technical context WordPress already knows about each page request. When a user reports an issue via the Alpaca Issue Tracker front-end toolbar, the plugin silently captures: – A screenshot of what the user can see – Browser and device information – Current page URL and template – Queried object details and HTTP headers – Any JavaScript errors This gives developers everything they need to reproduce and fix issues quickly, with zero burden on the client. Issues can also be created on the admin side, meaning Alpaca Issue Tracker can also be used as a complete project management system, to plan new features or track internal tasks. ### Third-Party Libraries Alpaca Issue Tracker includes runtime copies or bundled output from the following GPL-compatible libraries: * Bowser – MIT license – https://github.com/bowser-js/bowser * DOMPurify – MPL-2.0 option from `(MPL-2.0 OR Apache-2.0)` – https://github.com/ cure53/DOMPurify * Marked – MIT license – https://marked.js.org/ * PrismJS – MIT license – https://prismjs.com/ * PropTypes – MIT license – https://github.com/facebook/prop-types * SnapDOM – MIT license – https://github.com/zumerlab/snapdom ### Recommended Plugins Alpaca Issue Tracker uses user images throughout its interface, for extra humanity.

By default, only logged-in users can see the Alpaca Issue Tracker toolbar and report issues. Administrators have full access to the project board and all issues. ### Does this work with Gutenberg? Yes! Alpaca Issue Tracker is built using WordPress Gutenberg components for a native WordPress experience. ### Can I customize the Status columns and Labels? Yes, of course! You can add extra columns and labels, and change their names or presentation order, on the Configure screen. ### Can I customize the card presentation? Yes! You can choose which metadata points are shown on cards in the Board view, for just the right amount of information at a glance. ### Is this compatible with multisite? Alpaca Issue Tracker works on multisite installations, with each site having its own independent project board. An aggregation view across sites is planned for a future release. ### What kinds of notifications can Alpaca Issue Tracker send? Alpaca Issue Tracker ships with a highly configurable email notification system. You can choose to receive instant notifications of activity relevant to you and your issues; or a daily digest of all activity. You can even design the email templates using a block-based editor. You can @-mention another user within the text of a comment, to send them a notification. A search window will appear as soon as you type an @ symbol. Alpaca Issue Tracker’s notification engine has been built with extensibility in mind: additional channels will be added in the future. ### Where is the data stored? All data is stored in your WordPress database’s core tables using custom post types and taxonomies. The base plugin uses no external services. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Alpaca Issue Tracker” is open source software.
