# FeedbackPilot

FeedbackPilot is the WordPress plugin that turns your visitors„ bug reports directly into issues in your GitHub repository—complete with an annotated screenshot, the page URL, browser and server context, and the latest console logs attached. You triage issues in GitHub as usual; your visitors simply click a small button at the edge of the screen.



Here’s how FeedbackPilot works—in three steps




The visitor clicks a discreet ”Report a Problem„ button at the edge of the screen.



FeedbackPilot takes a screenshot of the current page. The visitor marks where the issue occurs.



Add a brief description, submit—and seconds later, a new issue appears in your connected GitHub repository.




Who FeedbackPilot Is For




Website owners who want a frictionless bug-reporting channel that doesn’t get lost in an email inbox.



Agencies that manage client websites and want to show their developers real-world reproduction context directly in the issue tracker.



Product teams that use WordPress as the front end of a larger application and manage their engineering work via GitHub anyway.




What ends up in the GitHub issue




Title: ”[Bug] first 60 characters of the description…„ (or ”[Feedback]„ for suggestions).



User’s description, quoted.



Annotated screenshot as an embedded PNG.



Browser context: User-Agent, viewport, language, platform, pixel ratio, light/dark mode.



Server context: WordPress version, PHP version, active theme, list of active plugins, locale.



Console log: the last 200 entries (collapsed into a ”details” block).



Labels: bug, feedbackpilot.




What is intentionally not transmitted




No cookies, no localStorage, no form content.



No IP addresses, no tracking, no analytics pixels.



No content from other browser tabs or windows.



No tokens, no secrets, no admin-only data.




Why not just another SaaS tool?



Bug reports from visitors are engineering input. They belong in the same inbox as branch reviews, deployments, and roadmap planning—and for most teams, that means GitHub. Tools like Marker.io, Userback, or Usersnap do similar things, but they’re external services with their own inbox, subscription, and data storage. FeedbackPilot stays within the tools you’re already using: WordPress up front, GitHub in the background—no new contracts, no additional tracking scripts on your site. The code is open source under the GPL-2.0—you can read it, customize it, and host it yourself.



Connect to GitHub—in two clicks



After installation, go to Settings → FeedbackPilot and click “Connect to GitHub.” You’ll be redirected to github.com, authorize the FeedbackPilot app, and return to the WordPress admin dashboard—with an encrypted token stored there. Next, enter the target repository (in the format owner/repo) and select the visitor roles that should see the widget. Done.



If you can’t or don’t want to use the OAuth flow, you can alternatively paste a fine-grained personal access token with “Issues: Read & Write” permission on the target repository. Both methods work equally well.



What You Need




WordPress 6.0 or newer.



PHP 7.4 or newer (PHP 8.0 and higher recommended).



A GitHub account with a repository where you’re allowed to create issues—the free GitHub plan is sufficient.




Installation in under two minutes




After downloading the ZIP file, import it via Plugins → Install → Upload Plugin.



Activate it.



Go to Settings → Connect FeedbackPilot to GitHub and select the target repository.



Enter the license key—this ensures the plugin updates automatically in the future.




Frequently Asked Questions



Do I need a paid GitHub plan?



No. Even free GitHub accounts can create issues in their own repositories. The plugin works the same way in both scenarios.



Does it work with private repositories?



Yes. The OAuth flow authorizes the FeedbackPilot app to access the repositories you select—including private ones. The manual PAT method works the same way.



Does the widget slow down my page?



No. The only external library (html2canvas) is loaded only when a visitor actually clicks the button. Until then, only a small CSS file and a lightweight JavaScript file are active. The impact on page speed and Core Web Vitals is negligible.



Does it work with caching plugins, Cloudflare, or WP Rocket?



Yes. The widget scripts are static and cache without any issues. Configuration changes are read when the page loads and do not require a cache reset.



Can I send reports to something other than GitHub?



In the current version 0.1.x, GitHub is the only destination. If sending reports via email, Slack, or Linear tickets would help you, we’d love to hear your suggestion in the GitHub repository.



Where is the screenshot?



On your WordPress site under wp-content/uploads/feedbackpilot/. The GitHub issue links to the image from there. It is not uploaded to a third-party service.



License, Updates, and Support



FeedbackPilot is free software licensed under the GPL 2.0 or later—the same license as WordPress itself. The download on this page is and will remain free of charge. With the included license key, you’ll receive automatic updates via the standard WordPress update mechanism. You can find the complete source code on GitHub. Please submit questions, bug reports, and feature requests via the repository or by email to hello@isla-stud.io.
