When I try to activate the plugin it's throwing an error like this "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."

I recently submitted a security issue (identified by Wordfence), and was pleased with the quick and professional response which included a promise to let me know when the problem was fixed. Well, they repaired the problem, pushed the update, and -- as promised -- sent a personal message to let me know. I expected the promise to be forgotten in the busyness of life, so I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you, Tanvir! I'm giving the plugin 4 stars because even though it's a solid alternative to Slack, Asana, etc., and has great support, there's room for improvement. On my wish list is for task lists and Kanban to be more interactive.

I've been searching for a self-hosted solution to streamline project management for my freelance web design and development work, as I prefer not to rely on cloud services owned entirely by others. I've previously used Jira and Notion but found them a bit over-bloated for my needs. I stumbled upon this plugin and decided to give the free version a try. It's been great so far! With a bit of customisation, it's become a valuable tool for organising various projects and tasks. While I haven't tested it with a larger team yet, it's been smooth sailing for my solo projects. However, there are a few issues I've encountered. First, it doesn't work with PHP 8.2, and also throws many errors in JS console. It’s not a huge deal but… I also had to make some adjustments to my child theme's styles to display images correctly. Then, I've been troubleshooting the lack of support for .mov files, which is a feature I'm hoping to fix myself, but really should see in future updates. Lastly some notifications settings would be really welcome. Generally I think it can be a great fit for someone who prefers in-house system over cloud solutions and is able to tweak it to their needs.

Bonjour à tous,Pour notre association sans but lucratif, nous étions à la recherche d'un gestionnaire de projets afin de centraliser les demandes de nos clients sur le site de notre ASBL (Association en Belgique).Après plusieurs recherches, nous nous sommes dirigés vers le plugin WP Project Manager.Dans l'ensemble ce plugin fonctionne convenablement et correspond à nos attentes. Nous soulignons la rapidité et l'efficacité du support. En effet, après l'installation, nous avons rencontré quelques difficultés. Les problèmes d'affichage étaient survenus parce que notre template n'était pas entièrement compatible. Nous avons été accompagné et guidé par Anower Hossain.Merci à lui et à son équipe !Nous allons continuer d'utiliser ce plugin et on espère que de nouvelles fonctionnalités seront proposées au fil du temps.Axel

Very attentive and willing support, but the account tools played a trick on us to update our own data, change cards to renew the license. These accesses should exist in a practical way for the user and not raise a ticket for questions that must have an immediate solution, in addition there should be the option to continue with the payment if you leave it on standby, not that everything is blocked and you must raise tickets. It took us more than a week to be able to renew the license, contemplating emails, links with URLs that did not work to update card data. Improve this and it will be a powerful service.The excellent plugin, for this reason we renew it.good support
