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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Request for calendar command links within Projects, Tasks and subtasks Good evening.I wanted to ask if it would be possible to integrate within the section, projects, tasks and subtasks under calendars.This function allows you to quickly create a deadline in the calendar by updating it immediately and then seeing which project, task or subtask was created and by whom.In the end, it is a link link to the entries already in the tabs.It would be great if it could be updated in the next few days, as it is nothing to employ.Best regards and thanks for your attention.Roberto

    We have created our own website specifically built to manage tasks with the zephyr plugin. It beats paying per user as it gets so expensive when your team scales. I’m in the SEO space and find this plugin very helpful in streamlining tasks and projects of new clients. Great work Dylan! sshh dont tell anyone otherwise he will be too busy for me!

    After installing the plugin and adding users assigned with only a Zephyr role, they are unable to access Zephyr or anything except WordPress Media. I was forced to install the User Role Manager and change the permissions of ALL Zephyr roles. Zephyr Manager and Admin roles have access/control to more WordPress settings and not just Zephyr. This seems too insecure for use.

    Generally, I have tried all similar solutions for the markets and I always come back to Zephyr. Many thanks to the developer for a truly great product.

    I have been looking for a reliable project management software for my business and wordpress plugins have all had problems that I could not get fixed by the developers.. After I upgraded to the pro version I instantly ran into a few problems and was frustrated that I had to once again try to get it handled. I emailed Dylan and could not believe how fast he actually got back to me.. He was all over getting me fixed up, and in the end I probably cost him time but he got me going.. If I could give him a 10 star I would and I am grateful to have found this plugin.. Can’t wait to get to work tomorrow! Thanks again Dylan, you are awesome!

    I took the upgrade especially because of the “Frontend Project Manager”. Really disappointed that it does not allow for navigation beyond the dashboard. Just returns 404 error if you attempt to reach sections like “Projects”, “Tasks”, etc. It means the user “must” sign in to the WP dashboard to get things done Update: I’m adding only 1 more star. The bare bones documentation on this plugin is holding it back in my opinion. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by genoxpress.

    I have been looking for a plugin that would easily replace Trello that I used to use when managing all sorts of projects. When building websites you have to be able to control the whole process, know what tasks need to be completed in what time, and me as a manager I need to know everything about the project itself. And here comes the great solution “Zephyr PRO Plugin for WordPress”. Even with a free version you can manage projects but when buying a very cheap PRO version you can see that this plugin was made specifically for project managers. I would really advise to check out the plugin and give the PRO version a shot. Categories, custom fields, reporting and analysis are amazing futures that really make this plugin stand out. I tried 6 different solutions but Zephyr PRO makes the most sense! And also: The support via email is great. I received my response in about 3 hours with detailed help. Thanks again!
