PublishPress Revisions is the plugin that allows you to safely make changes to WordPress posts. You can edit a post and submit those changes for feedback and approval, before it goes live on your site. It’s also possible to schedule those changes to go live on a future date. All of these features make PublishPress…
One thing we often hear from new WordPress users is that the interface is noisy. Especially once you have a few plugins installed, it’s easy for the admin area to become overwhelmed with notifications, messages, links, alerts, and widgets. We’re on a mission to solve that with PublishPress Capabilities. We want to bring simplicity back…
When you log in to a WordPress site, you will see boxes full of information. These are called “Dashboard Widgets”. You will probably see a “Welcome to WordPress!” widget with lots of useful links.

This can be…
Both the Gutenberg Editor and Elementor are excellent ways to build a WordPress website. We recently checked the numbers and found that these are the two fastest growing options for WordPress sites. However, in most situations, you need to choose either Gutenberg or Elementor. The two systems are not very compatible with each other. So…
Earlier this year, we adopted the “Organize Series” plugin. This is a plugin that allows you to group content together into a series. This is ideal for magazines, newspapers, short-story writers, teachers, comic artists, or anyone who writes multiple posts on the same topic. We renamed the plugin “PublishPress Series” and have been working on…
