Alpaca Issue Tracker for WordPress

Perfect For

Freelance developers managing client sites

Small agencies tracking bugs and feature requests

Development teams needing lightweight project management

Clients performing QA on a new site

Account managers responsible for rolling retainer contracts

Enterprises and government bodies needing extra reassurance on hosting

How It Works Clients don’t have the time or knowledge to provide detailed technical reports when they spot a problem. But developers can’t do their job without that detail. Alpaca Issue Tracker solves this by automatically capturing all the technical context WordPress already knows about each page request.

When a user reports an issue via the Alpaca Issue Tracker front-end toolbar, the plugin silently captures:

– A screenshot of what the user can see

– Browser and device information

– Current page URL and template

– Queried object details and HTTP headers

– Any JavaScript errors

This gives developers everything they need to reproduce and fix issues quickly, with zero burden on the client.

Issues can also be created on the admin side, meaning Alpaca Issue Tracker can also be used as a complete project management system, to plan new features or track internal tasks.
