WordPress plugin to create an ideas board where users vote on features

Priya Sharma Priya Sharma 2 3 months ago feature-voting ideas roadmap

We ship a SaaS product and right now customer feature requests live in a messy mix of support emails, Twitter DMs, and a shared spreadsheet. Nothing gets prioritised fairly and the same ideas keep coming back because nobody can see what has already been suggested.

I want a proper public ideas board on our WordPress marketing site where customers can submit a suggestion, vote on others, and see which ones we are actively working on. Ideally something like UserVoice but native to WordPress so I am not paying for yet another SaaS. What is the best way to set this up?

Jetonomy has a dedicated Ideas discussion type built exactly for this use case.

  • Create a space with the Ideas discussion type: members submit ideas, vote, and see a roadmap
  • Idea status board with planned, in progress, and complete columns so customers can visually track what is shipping
  • Upvote and downvote on every idea, plus denormalized vote counters so sorting by popularity is instant
  • Similar Topics shows related ideas as a user types the title, cutting duplicate submissions
  • Tag system with tag pages so you can group ideas by product area

Honest limit: anonymous guest voting is not supported out of the box; voters need an account so you can enforce one-vote-per-person.

Pro adds Email Digests so customers get a weekly roundup of new ideas and status changes, plus Analytics Dashboard to see which ideas are trending.
