## Description

WP Simple Tracker is a functional (yet basic) issue tracking system to plug
 right
in your WordPress powered site! Operating an issue tracking system has never been
this easy!

Currently it can operate one tracker per blog. However the back-end was
 designed
to allow as many trackers as you might want. This will be targeted in a later release.

This plugin is based on WP-IssueTracker by Mahmoud Sakr, which is no longer
 maintained
by the author. You can upgrade directly from that to this (strongly recommended 
due to security issues in the orignial), by removing it and installing this instead.
Your existing issues will remain intact.

### Notes

## Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/
 directory
of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from the Plugins page.

To insert the tracker, create a new post (preferably a page) and insert the
 following
content in the body:

And publish! You can now access your tracker via accessing the page you just
 created.

Creating new issues and commenting on them can be done by any regular user.
 Editing
issues, changing status, etc, can only be done by a user with the ‘simpletracker_manager’
capability. Issues can only be assigned to a user with the ‘simpletracker_assignee’
capability.

Two new Roles are created, Issue Manager and Issue Assignee, which can
 normally
be used to control these capabilities. However, for more complex setups, you can
install a Role Editing plugin (like “Members”) and assign the above capabilities
directly to the roles of your choice.

For best appearance, use a single-column page template for the tracker
 (no sidebar)
and disable comments and pingbacks. but it will work either way.
