Alba Board
Alba Board brings a flexible Kanban board to your WordPress admin and (optionally) to the frontend. Desktop and Mobile friendly.
Create, organize, and manage boards, lists, and cards, assign tasks, add custom fields and colored tags, and extend with official add-ons.
Unified comment feedback UI for frontend and backend. Improved AJAX messaging, accessibility, and performance.
Features

- Cards with title, description, assignee, colored tags, custom fields
- Drag & drop cards between lists (Sortable.js)
- Fast modal editing (backend): edit title, description, assignee, and meta
- Unified feedback for adding comments in both admin and frontend (green success/red error below the comment box)
- AJAX-powered updates for all board actions
- All registered users can be assigned as card assignees (Select2 live search)
- Colored tag support (with the Card Tags add-on)
- Secure: all actions require proper permissions and nonces

Permissions and Capabilities
Upon activation, Alba Board automatically assigns all necessary capabilities for boards, lists, and cards to the Administrator and Editor roles. This ensures these users can always see and manage Alba Board content, even on a fresh WordPress install.
You may also use plugins like User Role Editor to manage these capabilities visually.
Add-ons
Alba Board’s power can be expanded with official add-ons. The following are included and maintained by the author:
-
Alba Board Frontend Interactions
- Enables card creation and deletion from the frontend (public site).
- Can be activated or deactivated independently.
- When deactivated, the frontend buttons for adding/removing cards are hidden.
-
Alba Card Tags
- Lets you create colored tags and assign them to cards for easier categorization and filtering.
- You can manage tag colors and assign multiple tags per card.
More add-ons are planned! Developers can also create their own add-ons using WordPress hooks and Alba Board’s modular structure.
