Get In-Site Notifications with PublishPress Future
The PublishPress Future plugin allows you to schedule changes to posts, pages and other content types.
The great thing about these changes is that they can happen automatically, when you're busy doing something else.
But it can be important to get notifications when these changes happen.
You can now get notifications for all those changes directly inside your WordPress site. We believe this will make it much easier for you to keep track of your scheduled changes.
This new feature is called “In-site Notifications”. In this screenshot below, you can see an alert notification:
When you click the notification icon, you'll see a notification sidebar appear with your message, as in this screenshot below.
