Plugin did not display the BugHerd sidebar
·1 month ago

This plugin did not display the BugHerd sidebar needed for review.

…But then I figured out it would work if I turned off my uBlock Origin browser extension.

Works
by Nathan Shower·9 years ago

Works nicely, no need to add code to header of theme manually, or rely on the theme or other plugins to add javascript to the site. Just enable and disable as needed.

free, or not free: that is the question

the plugin is just a decoy which takes you to tryout or to checkout 😉

Amazing Program!
·11 years ago

I love this program. Marking up website changes is sooooo easy with this plugin.

The only thing I wish it would do is be able to notify the project manager or webmaster when a change has been requested. It’s redundant to set up the task in BugHerd and then have to send someone an email to let them know the task is there.
