WordPress plugin · Free

Feature Request System adds a feature request board to your WordPress site. People suggest features and vote for the ones they want. You give each request a status, such as Planned, In Progress or Shipped, and everyone who voted gets an email when it changes.

## What it does

### A board with one-click voting

Visitors search, filter and sort the requests, and vote without reloading the page.

### No more duplicates

While someone types a title, the form lists similar requests, so they vote instead of posting the same idea again.

### A page for every request

With comments and your team's official response pinned below the description.

### Emails that close the loop

Voters follow a request and hear about every status change, sent in the background with a link to stop.

### Blocks and shortcodes

A board, a form, a short list and a single-request card that take their look from your theme and work without JavaScript.

### Spam stopped without a captcha

A hidden field, a minimum time to fill in the form and rate limits, plus Akismet if you use it.

## How it works

1. **People suggest and vote**
  Add the board and the form to a page. Each board decides who can vote, who can suggest features and whether new requests wait for your approval.
2. **You set the status**
  Sort by votes to see what people want most, then change a status from the edit screen, Quick Edit or Bulk Edit.
3. **Everyone hears about it**
  Followers get an email five minutes after a status change, so a status picked by mistake can be corrected first.

## Private and accessible

- Everything is stored in your own WordPress database, and no IP addresses are stored.
- Names and emails from visitors are shown only to moderators, never publicly.
- Works with WordPress's tools to export and erase personal data.
- The board, the form and the request pages aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA, and work with a keyboard and without JavaScript.

## Questions

### Does it work with my theme?

Yes. The board and the form take their colours and spacing from your theme, in block themes and classic themes.

### Can visitors without an account suggest features?

Not by default. Each board can allow everyone, only logged-in users, or nobody. Visitors without an account leave a name and email, which are never shown publicly.

### Does it work on multisite?

Yes. Each site of the network has its own boards, requests, votes and settings.

### How do I delete its data?

Deleting the plugin keeps your requests and votes. To remove everything, tick the delete option under Feature Requests → Settings first.
