Project Management, Bug and Issue Tracking Plugin – Software Issue Manager

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 50% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 30+ in roughly 121 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I used this for a small software program that I am writing. It works great to keep me organized and help me remember what issues I need to tackle. Outstanding job.

   Pretty good “ISSUE TRACKIING SYSTEM”, but it locks some basic features. No “Search and Add” feature, no search plugin, no search and add plugin, no field name editor, no personal fields, no language translations, the style does not match the theme selected, a little bit slow, no open and close listings, etc. I do like it anyway, but I think it is not totally complete. It is a good tool for starters but The one that I really like, and I would love to see something better available for wordpress, is called PERSONAL CALL CENTER PRO, and it is located on the web. I haven’t find anything better yet. but I am hopping this plugin grows enough to match the one that I mention. Keep up the good work folks! You are in the right road. Congratulations.

   This product serves a great niche for internal project management. Would love to see some updates (i.e. default OS versions). Would be nice if it had an option for auto-selecting most-recent project or last used project when adding tasks. Would like to see a way to import/export tasks using CSV.

   I was searching for a simple way to track Issues/Bugs for collaborative development projects and have used Redmine, Mantis, etc. type systems at other companies, but did not have the skills/experience to set these up on our web server. My skills/experience does stretch to Word Press Sites, although I am no expert, but the SIM plugin was really easy to setup and get working – just a few hours of my time. Have been very pleased with this plugin and would definitely recommend it for anyone with Word Press experience who needs this type of bug tracking tool.

   I needed something that does everything and does it easily. Track bugs, recurring user issues, future improvements, general ideas, software to try, etc. etc. I like that it sits behind the login and that it shows all project issues in one place without being overly complicated, since I don’t need milestones or anything. Very straight forward.
