Description

This is the Client plugin for SureFeedback

The SureFeedback plugin lets you collect sticky note-style feedback on page designs and web projects. It’s so easy to use. Clients can select specific areas of your design, point, click, and type constructive comments on top of your mockups and site designs.

Using SureFeedback, the client can show as well as tell, providing targeted feedback for a more efficient workflow.

SureFeedback is a self-hosted client feedback system that allows you to get feedback on an endless amount of client sites from one central dashboard.

The SureFeedback Cloud plugin is used to securely sync multiple WordPress client identities with your SureFeedback parent site.

All you need to do is install the plugin on the site you want feedback on and it's ready to go.

Features include:

• Connect and sync your client’s identities with your SureFeedback projects.
• No login or registration is required if your client is logged into their own site.
• Choose which roles you want to allow for commenting.
• Allow non-users (guests) to leave comments.
• Optionally enable commenting on the WordPress admin.
• White label support
