 * Love the plugin but don’t want clients in the back end/dashboard. Is there a 
   shortcode?

 * Thank you for your kind words. I’m working on a new version with a front end 
   shortcode, please tell me if you want to try a beta-version (would be great if
   you can try it and tell me if anything needs to be fixed).

 * Please download beta version from github repository address:
 * [https://github.com/dreamsofmatter/wp-project-tasks/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/dreamsofmatter/wp-project-tasks/archive/master.zip)
 * and let me know how it goes.
 * Shortcode is `[project-tasks]`

 * I downloaded the zip and used FTP to place it on my server. I then activated 
   the plugin.
 * I placed the short code on a page – here’s the URL- [http://cos.nyghtfalcon.com/pm-test/](http://cos.nyghtfalcon.com/pm-test/)
 * However, in the backend, there is no way to add tasks or projects and the icon
   next to project-task is just an “X”.
 * Should this version be uploaded with the current version?

 * Please put the files inside the zip-file in a directory called ‘project-tasks’
   in the wp-plugins folder and activate the plugin again.

 * That worked.
 * OK, here’s what I have found so far. When I click on add from the front end, 
   I get the pop up but the options don’t display correctly. Here’s the URL again
   so you can see what’s happening.
 * A couple of suggestions:
 *  1. Could there be an option to create a template? Our projects all have the 
   same 10 steps and a template would be a great way to streamline the process of
   adding new tasks.
 *  2. Could it be possible to group tasks into a project?
 *  3. Could an option be added to notify a group of people as the status of tasks
   changes?

 * Seams like [http://cos.nyghtfalcon.com/pm-test](http://cos.nyghtfalcon.com/pm-test)
   is a blank page?
 * Also, public visitors need to login to be able to use the plugin generated by
   the shortcode (if not logged in they see a link to a login-page). Every user 
   needs to be setup as a WordPress User (subscriber is ok).
 * Yes, task templates is a great idea, I’ve been working on that some time but 
   it still needs many more hours.
 * Yes, group tasks into a project is also a great idea, I call that sub-tasks and
   I’ve been working on them some time too. They too need more hours.
 * Notifications can be done with hooks, I’ll try to add them later.
 * So, to become the plugin you need I would probably need 40-50 more hours of coding.
   Unfortunately I don’t know when that would happen since I have a family to support
   and pretty much no time to work pro-bono.
 * I hope you can find what you’re looking for.
 * If you think the shortcode functionality works ok, I’ll update the WP Respository
   version.
 * Take care,
    Klas

 * No worries. I was making suggestions – I am very happy with it as it is.
 * The page shouldn’t be blank. I might have permissions set so you can’t see it
   if you are not logged in. I will check permissions and email you back.
