The Series Post Details feature
“Series Post Details” is the feature that allows you to show where a post stands inside a series. This screenshot below shows the Series Post Details placed at the top of a post.
It is possible to customize this design without using any code at all using the “Series Post details” screen.
On the edit screen for each Series Post Details area, you are able to make changes to the design and layout. There are two areas that you can customize, which are shown in the screenshot below.
- General: The text showing inside the box.
- Styling: The colors, fonts, and padding for each box.
The Post List Boxes feature
“Post List Boxes” is the feature that allows you to show all the posts in the current series.
This screenshot below shows a Post List Box placed at the top of a post. All three posts listed in this box are in the same series. The order of the posts is controlled via the Manage Series screen.
On the edit screen for each Post List Box, you are able to make changes to the design and layout. There are three areas that you can customize, which are shown in the screenshot below.
- Box Container: The area containing all the posts.
- Post: The details of each individual post.
- Layout: The overall layout of the multiple posts.
What's next for PublishPress Series?
We're going to add more of these easy-to-use design tools to cover the rest of the plugin, including the navigation that you can place at the bottom of each post, and the overview display for individual series.
We want this to be the best WordPress option for newspapers, magazines and publishers who want to create series, issues, or groups of related content.
