Sorry, I didn’t understand.

You can fix this by modifying /includes/cleverness-to-do-list-frontend.class.php, line #659 from:

$this->display();

to:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
			$this->display();
		}

I’m not sure what the solution is. With those settings, if a contributor logs in, they should not see items assigned to another contributor. If an administrator logs in, they will see all items even if they’re assigned to someone else.

Make sure that “View To-Do Items Assigned to Other Users Capability” is not set to something that the user role who only want to see their assigned tasks can do. Note that there is no way to make it so that admin level users can only see their assigned tasks.

Private categories are meant to only be used on the admin side, and to be hidden on the front-end.

There is a setting to show only a user their assigned items, but be sure that their user permission level under Settings > User Permissions is not set to allow them to view all items.

It’s just using PHP’s date function (server time) but I see that WordPress has a function that uses local time and since WP version 3.9 can be used for any PHP time format so that can be used instead.

In file /includes/cleverness-to-do-list-library.php, line #265 says:
update_post_meta( $id, '_completed', date( 'Y-m-d' ) );

could try changing it to:
update_post_meta( $id, '_completed', current_time( 'Y-m-d' ) );

Some themes do things differently so the plugin doesn’t work.

You could edit /includes/cleverness-to-do-list-library.php and copy the relevant code from the insert_todo() method to the update_todo() method.

That’s the expected behavior. The email feature is pretty basic in this plugin.

Thanks for posting the solution! It may help someone else ?? Glad you solved it.

Yeah, it’s annoying when plugins do that. I had previously had it only showing when the shortcodes were used, but there was an issue with it when I was working on the latest version and I had to remove that feature.

They are small files though and shouldn’t be slowing the site down at all really. Maybe something else about the plugin is slowing the site down.

Just to check: In settings, is assign items to users set to yes and the list view type set to group?

The plugin uses WordPress’s built in mail system. Perhaps a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ would help.

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to check it out sometime.

Difficult to say. I use WordPress coding standards and have had the code reviewed by other professionals. I haven’t had many other reports of conflicts.

The way it’s set up isn’t quite what you want, but it can be.

Under Settings > Advanced, set Show a User Only the Items Assigned to Them to Yes.

Replace the file cleverness-to-do-list-widget.class.php (in the /includes/ folder) with the file here: https://gist.github.com/cleverness/be8f73180edacea4e848/

Thanks! Glad you like it.
I will take a look at the widget to see if there’s a bug.
