Simple Todo List

The simple todo list is easy to setup and use. Unlike others todo list plugins, this one is non-obtrusive. Although functional, it would be nice to see some additional features offered:

Automatically group completed todos to bottom of list.
Automatically hide completed todos.
Option to toggle show/hide completed todos.

Often times, ideas from WordPress Ideas (https://wordpress.org/ideas/) or bugs from WordPress Trac (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/) take years to make it into WordPress Core. Sometimes even if everyone agrees on the fix it still doesn’t get in. This plugin is the temporary patch you’ve been waiting for. Activate any feature you want and disable any you don’t want.
