<p>Alpaca Issue Tracker is a powerful yet simple issue tracking system that lives inside your WordPress admin. Built with the WordPress philosophy in mind, it provides a Trello-like kanban board interface for managing bugs, feature requests, and project tasks.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kanban Board Interface</strong> – Drag-and-drop issues between and within fully customizable status columns</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Context Capture</strong> – Browser info, page context, and technical details are saved with each bug report submitted from the front end</li>
<li><strong>Built for WordPress</strong> – Uses native WordPress components, post types, taxonomies and database tables</li>
<li><strong>Extensibility</strong> – Developers can add custom functions and integrations via conventional WordPress actions & filters</li>
<li><strong>Respects User Permissions</strong> – Integrates with WordPress user roles and capabilities</li>
<li><strong>Screenshot Capture</strong> – See exactly what the user saw, captured and processed locally within the browser</li>
<li><strong>Comment and Activity Thread</strong> – A unified view of each issue’s progress, supporting attachment uploads and user mentions</li>
<li><strong>Priority Management</strong> – Flag high-priority items and set deadlines</li>
<li><strong>Assignee System</strong> – Assign issues and checklist items to team members</li>
<li><strong>Email Notifications</strong> – Instant or daily digest email notifications for the issues you care about</li>
<li><strong>Translation Ready</strong> – Fully localized and ready for translation into any language (including RTL support)</li>
<li><strong>No Artificial Limitations</strong> – Use on as many sites, with as many users, issues, attachments and interactions as you need</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Freelance developers managing client sites</li>
<li>Small agencies tracking bugs and feature requests</li>
<li>Development teams needing lightweight project management</li>
<li>Clients performing QA on a new site</li>
<li>Account managers responsible for rolling retainer contracts</li>
<li>Enterprises and government bodies needing extra reassurance on hosting</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>When a user reports an issue via the Alpaca Issue Tracker front-end toolbar, the plugin silently captures:<br />
– A screenshot of what the user can see<br />
– Browser and device information<br />
– Current page URL and template<br />
– Queried object details and HTTP headers<br />
– Any JavaScript errors</p>
<p>This gives developers everything they need to reproduce and fix issues quickly, with zero burden on the client.</p>
<p>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.</p>
