IdeaPush

Beskriuwing

With IdeaPush you can add an awesome feature/idea request system to WordPress. Use IdeaPush to generate new ideas or get feedback from actual users and customers or use it as a support triage system or use it for something else!

Watch the plugin walkthrough:

Check out the demo page here and submit an idea for the plugin.

Rich and extensive notifications

Easily activate automatic notifications for the administrator, idea authors or voters for a range of actions. Use our simple but powerful shortcode generator to make your email subject and content dynamic, relevant and personalised.

Intelligent voting

Enable users or guests to vote on ideas with an up vote only or an up and down vote so poor ideas can be buried and good ideas can rise. Place a daily maximum voting limit on voting to prevent misuse. Set a vote threshold for your board so ideas automatically change status when the vote goal is reached.

Fast idea creation

With an accessible form users or guests can create new ideas and assign ideas tags and an attachment. Like votes, new ideas can have a daily limit so things don’t get out of control. Eliminate bot ideas with built-in honeypot and math problem protection. When new ideas are submitted, ideas can either be automatically published or get assigned a pending status for administrator approval. Upgrade to pro to show suggested ideas to users whilst they write a new idea to prevent duplication.

Easy to use and fast setup

The admin interface is well organised and provides extensive options for customising the plugin. Create a new board in seconds and add the board shortcode provided to any post or page.

Statuses to keep things organised

Statuses keep your ideas organised and logical within a typical development workflow. Ideas when created are set to open and are set to reviewed when the vote goal has been reached and can then be changed to approved or declined and then to in progress and completed. Ideas can be edited in the backend like any other WordPress post. Optionally, tags can be used as a secondary categorisation method to better manage ideas.

Beautiful, dynamic and intuitive user interface

Great attention to detail has been made to bring the frontend design to a professional level. IdeaPush is a dynamic Ajax powered interface so ideas move up and down as a vote gets cast. When ideas are sorted to show ideas by the most popular, recent, trending, your own ideas or ideas you have voted on, new ideas are fetched. Ideas can also be filtered by status or tags to create specific lookups of ideas.

Or better yet, use our super powerful live search filter to search idea titles, content, authors and tags with search phrase highlighting.

Each idea has its own page for sharing and SEO purposes and for administrators there are quick action buttons on the single idea page to bring idea triage to the frontend. Upgrade to pro to remove the single idea page.

The idea is great. I just gave 5 stars because the other ratings are not shown on first sight. There are several features missing, not working or not intuitive enough. It can be nice but its not at that point yet.The developer doesnt seem to use the plugin hisself which is why i just tell a few here: – Voting is just possible in one status- users have to use the WP login to revote/contribute new Ideas- the account situation is not intuitive (e.g the username is not the name, a WP user creation is barely recognizable for “muggles”)- there is no “real” guest voting- even tho i got the PRO version, settings are to limited in quite many cases- the PRO version enables all PRO features and seems to be usable limetless without Product key and Updates- new ideas in approved state have to be “published” by WP logic before frontend visibilityIn short. The basic key-features are not ready yet. Intuitivity, basic features and backand options must be further developed before production ready use.

I had troubles with installation with PHP 8, reported the issue and the developer was very responsive and had it fixed up in no time.I really like this – the only reason I’m not actually going to use for a project is because I’m looking for something that has a Trello style board view. I had hoped the premium version had it but no such luck. It’s so close to what I was looking for and is easy to work with!

Love this plugin. I have just installed it into my website, and it is too early to tell whether my customers are ready to engage with me. But what I can tell, is that this plugin meets all my expectations and even goes beyond. The free version already served my purpose more than enough, but I still went ahead and bought the premium version to keep this product supported.

I find Ideapush to be a fantastic tool for engaging with clientele. Very many uses can be – • Startups can take voting from clientele for various features / products / programs they’re rolling out • Marketers can take input from clients for their preferences • Web developers can interact with clients’ larger team / organization • Non-profits can use it for customizing local developmental projects • And so many more ways… Beauty is in the fact that it is more participative method to collect prospective user data who are at the brink (indecisive)

6.0

  • We have now implemented our own custom font called IdeaPush on the frontend instead of using Font Awesome 4.7. The benefit of this is that if you are using Font Awesome 5 or above you will no longer have a clash with IdeaPush as this issue was becoming more and more common. Also it provides us with more flexibility in the future to manipulate icons however we want to rather then being stuck with a standard font library. So icons will look a little bit different now, but hopefully you like the change! On paper this version 6 may seem little but it has required a lot of effort and because a lot of people have made customisations to icons I wanted to make this a major release just as a signal that you might need to tweak things after updating if you have made customisations.
