UpDownUpDown provides two template tags for adding up/down voting for any post or comment. Anonymous guest visitors can either be allowed to vote (tracked by ip address) or be denied voting and shown a view-only vote count badge. Votes are registered on the server without refreshing the page.

RIACO Feedback lets your visitors submit feature requests, vote on existing ideas, and track progress through a public roadmap — all without leaving your WordPress site. It takes minutes to set up and requires no coding.
Install the plugin, drop a shortcode on any page, and your users can start submitting and voting immediately. Admins review and approve submissions from the WordPress dashboard before they go public.

<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<code>[riaco_feedback_features project="main"]</code> 
Renders the submission form alongside the full feedback board. This is the all-in-one shortcode for most setups.
<code>[riaco_feedback_features_board project="main"]</code> 
Renders only the feedback board (no form). Use this when you want the form and the list on separate pages.
<code>[riaco_feedback_roadmap project="main"]</code> 
Renders the three-column kanban roadmap grouped by status.
All shortcodes accept a <code>project</code> attribute that scopes the display to a specific project slug (default: <code>main</code>). Create additional projects from Feedback → Projects in the admin.
