Tired of chasing client feedback across emails, Trello boards, and Slack threads?
If you build or manage WordPress websites, you know the pain. A client sends a blurry screenshot over email. Someone else drops a vague “this section is broken” message in Slack. Meanwhile, your developer has no idea what page they’re even talking about. Before you know it, feedback is scattered everywhere – and your “launch-ready” site is anything but.
That’s exactly why we built Annotatr, a bug tracking and feedback plugin made exclusively for WordPress. With Annotatr, you can capture, assign, and track website issues directly inside your WordPress dashboard – no third-party tools, browser extensions, or messy spreadsheets.
Version 1.0.0 is now live on WordPress.org and it’s ready to help agencies, developers, and project managers bring order to the chaos of client feedback.
The problem: Website feedback is a mess
Let’s be honest – traditional bug reporting is broken.
- Clients send screenshots that don’t show where or how something’s wrong.
- Developers juggle feedback across email, Slack, Trello, and Google Sheets.
- Project managers waste time manually piecing together updates and statuses.
- Critical bugs slip through the cracks because there’s no single source of truth.
The result? Confusion, lost time, missed deadlines, and endless back-and-forth between teams and clients.
Annotatr changes that. It turns messy feedback loops into structured, trackable workflows — all within WordPress itself.
Meet Annotatr: Bug tracking built for WordPress
Annotatr isn’t just another issue tracker. It’s the first bug tracking plugin built specifically for the WordPress ecosystem — designed to look, feel, and work like WordPress.
No SaaS subscriptions, no separate dashboards, no data leaving your site. Everything happens right where your projects live.
How it works
- Install Annotatr from the WordPress plugin directory.
- Visit any page on your site and click the Annotatr icon.
- Point, capture, and describe the issue — Annotatr automatically takes a screenshot and logs it in your dashboard.
- Assign the issue to a teammate, track it on your Kanban board, and mark it done when resolved.
In seconds, feedback goes from “something’s broken here” to a clear, actionable task.
Who Is Annotatr for?
Annotatr is built for anyone managing WordPress website development, including:
- Developers who want clear, contextual bug reports.
- Agencies looking to streamline client feedback.
- Project managers tired of chasing updates across tools.
- QA testers who need consistent, repeatable reporting.
- Clients who just want an easy way to show what’s wrong – not describe it in an email chain.

Annotatr WordPress Bug Tracking
Use cases
1. Agency QA workflow
An agency finishes a new client site and invites the client to test it. Instead of collecting random notes over email, they enable Annotatr.
The client clicks the Annotatr icon, highlights an issue, and it appears instantly in the agency’s dashboard – complete with a screenshot and browser data.
2. Developer collaboration
Two developers are fixing bugs on the same project.
Annotatr keeps everything clear: who’s handling what, what’s in progress, and what’s done.
No overlap, no confusion.
3. Project management
A project manager checks the Annotatr Kanban board to review all open issues across multiple pages.
They can assign priorities, set due dates, and see a visual breakdown of progress at a glance.
Why Annotatr is different
Unlike other feedback tools, Annotatr isn’t a generic SaaS platform trying to fit every workflow. It’s built specifically for WordPress.
Key differentiators:
- Native to WordPress – No external logins, browser extensions, or separate dashboards.
- Context-aware – Captures technical details automatically.
- Private & secure – All data stays on your own server, giving you full control over your data.
- Lightweight – Loads only for logged-in users.
- Single source of truth – Bugs, comments, screenshots all live right inside WordPress.
Installation & Getting started
Getting started is simple:
- Install Annotatr from the WordPress plugin directory
- Activate the plugin.
- Add your team members under Annotatr → Settings.
- Visit any page on your site, click the Annotatr icon, and start capturing bugs.
Within minutes, you’ll have a complete, visual feedback workflow running inside WordPress.
