Do you care about creating great content with WordPress? Now there’s a plugin that allows you to ensure all your content meets your high standards.

We’ve released a free version of the PublishPress Checklists plugin. You can get the free version on WordPress.org.

PublishPress Checklists is the best way to make sure that your content is ready to go live. This plugin enables you to choose pre-publishing requirements for your content. For example, you can require that all posts have a minimum number of words, or that they all have a featured image.

So you want to make changes to your WooCommerce products?

Before you do, be careful. By default, revisions are not enabled in WooCommerce. So if you make any mistakes, you won’t be able to roll back to a previous version of your product.

Here’s an interesting question from a PublishPress user:

I want to allow the Author role to edit published posts (theirs or others) and make those changes live without approval. But I don’t want those users to create new posts themselves.

This is possible using the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin.

We’re delighted to say that PublishPress Revisions 2.1 is now out, in both Free and Pro versions.

This is the first major update since Revisions Pro launched in October.

The Free version is available on WordPress.org on the Pro version is available to PublishPress members.

You will find lots of bug-fixes and several useful new features. Here’s an overview of what you’ll find in Revisions 2.1.

And lately we’ve been learning about new publishing features that may be coming to WordPress.

The WordPress team want to bring Google Docs-style editing to the new Gutenberg editor. This means that multiple people can be updating the same document at the same time.

I wrote a detailed post on that goal and concluded that it looks like a really tough problem.

Collaborative editing is easy for Google because they have almost complete control over the servers. However, a WordPress solution must work everywhere, including on cheap, shared hosting.

A PublishPress user asked us an interesting question:

Can I set up my WordPress site so users from “Department A” can edit only one page and users from “Department B” can only edit a different page?

Yes, that is possible with the PublishPress plugins and I’m going to show you how it’s done:

In the last couple of months, we’ve launched PublishPress Revisions Pro, a huge update to PublishPress Revisions Free, and Multiple Authors 3.

Thanks to all of you who use the PublishPress plugins. Your support enables us to work on these cool, new releases.
