Over the last week, we’ve put out a couple of PublishPress releases, moving up to version 1.20.4.

These releases had a series of small improvements and bug-fixes. Let me give you an overview of what’s changed …

Revisionary is the best plugin for managing revisions in WordPress.

The latest release of Revisionary improves support for multisite networks.

Over the last few days, a couple of people have written to us and asked this question:

“Is there a plugin that allows me to restrict users to only be able to post to certain categories?”

The answer is “Yes”. You can do this with Press Permit Pro. This is a plugin that will be officially launched here at PublishPress in the next couple of days. Contact us if you want a copy.

Just over two months ago, we acquired the Press Permit plugins. Just importantly, Kevin (the original developer of the plugins) came to work with us.

Two plugins have already moved here to PublishPress: Revisionary and Capability Manager Enhanced.

The next step is to move the remaining Press Permit plugins over here to PublishPress.com.

WordPress is very restrictive when it comes to deleting files from your site’s Media Library.

By default, only users in the “Administrator” role are able to delete images and files in WordPress.

Users in the Subscriber, Contributor, Author and Editor roles are not allowed to delete.

By default, very few users are allowed to access the WooCommerce admin area.

WooCommerce stores can contain a lot of sensitive information, so only users who have the “Administrator” or “Shop Manager” roles can access the WooCommerce admin.

PublishPress 1.20.0 is available now and it has several useful improvements to the calendar and notifications.

Here’s a quick rundown of the new features you’ll see in PublishPress 1.20:

Capability Manager Enhanced is one of the most popular permissions plugins for WordPress. We acquired the plugin in February and are working hard on improvements.

Our goal is to create a suite of powerful publishing plugins for WordPress. Capability Manager Enhanced is key to that goal.

About one month ago, we relaunched Revisionary, the plugin for managing, scheduling and moderating WordPress revisions.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been hard at work updating Revisionary to work with the Gutenberg editor. I’m happy to say we’re almost there.

Version 1.3 of Revisionary is available now with Gutenberg compatibility for many features.

A large number of PublishPress users have sites with custom post types.

Sometimes this is done using custom code. Sometimes it’s done with a theme. Sometimes it’s done with a plugin.

However, although these methods can provide many features, they rarely deal with permissions. This can be important … these custom post types often hold sensitive information.
