Disappointingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, there are no plugins for WordPress which provide bug-tracking capabilities. Well, at least none that I’ve been able to find. I did consider the possibility of developing one myself, but I have enough to do in my spare time as it is. The family would probably kick me out of the house, if I started another project…

However, I did want a basic bug tracking system for Do My Invoice, and it makes sense to also use it for YAK (and perhaps some of my other low volume projects).

After a bit of searching, I came across Mantis, a PHP bug tracking system which looks simple enough for my needs, and perhaps approachable enough for other users to easily post their issues and feature requests. It was certainly easy to install, which makes it one of the more attractive candidates… (that said, I wouldn’t have minded using FogBugz, but don’t have the budget for the moment).

So if you have features or bugs for Do My Invoice, or for the YAK shopping cart plugin, please sign up for a new account at:

In the case of YAK, the comments on the project page is still the place for support issues and, in the case of DMI, the email for support requests can be found on the dashboard after you’ve logged in.
