4WP TODO

v1.0.2 · by 4WP.dev

Team tasks and checklists inside WordPress — Gutenberg notes, kanban lists, frontend overlay, and REST for the 4WP ecosystem.

About this plugin

4WP TODO helps your team capture action items on pages and posts, organize them in kanban-style lists, and track completion without leaving WordPress.

Tasks are stored as native Gutenberg notes (comment_type = note) with 4WP metadata for category, assignee, due date, workflow, and page context. Other plugins can create tasks via forwp_todo_create_task() or the REST API.

A plugin by 4wp.dev. 4WP is our project brand; this plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by WordPress.

Key features

  • Frontend overlay — floating panel on the public site for logged-in team members (FAB + task list)
  • Admin kanban — 4WP TODO TODO Lists with columns (Assigned to me, Due tomorrow, per-page lanes)
  • Dashboard — open/closed counts and activity overview
  • Taxonomy dimensions — Category, Status, Workflow (manage terms under Categories / Statuses / Workflows)
  • Settings — frontend overlay toggle, admin bar link, Who can see TODO visibility rules, optional tasks page with block
  • Gutenberg block — forwp/todo-tasks for a full kanban on a page
  • REST API — forwp-todo/v1 for admin React UI and integrations
  • Integration API — PHP helpers and discovery endpoints for other 4WP plugins

How it works

  1. Activate the plugin. Users with access see 4WP TODO in wp-admin and the frontend overlay when enabled.
  2. Create tasks from the overlay, admin lists, or programmatically.
  3. Assign categories, due dates, and workflows; close notes when done.
  4. Configure Settings Who can see TODO to limit access by role and user.

Requires WordPress 6.4+ with block editor notes support.
