These posts feature news and tutorials for the PublishPress Planner plugin. This is the plugin for managing and scheduling WordPress content.
A few months ago, I was talking with a PublishPress customer. They use our plugins, but also rely on an external service to plan their content. That’s not unusual. We’ve heard from WordPress people who use Google Docs, ClickUp, Notion, and other tools. In most cases, the feedback was that the WordPress interface was too…
Back in 2017, our team was just starting to focus on WordPress development. The first plugin we launched was simply called “PublishPress”. We never expected to end up with at least eight other plugins. Over the last five years, we’ve added more plugins all with variations on the “PublishPress” name. So it is definitely time…
I’m delighted to say that the MetaSlider plugin is now part of PublishPress. The PublishPress team’s mission is to help WordPress publishers succeed. We believe that maintaining and improving the MetaSlider plugin will enable us to help more publishers. MetaSlider is one of the most popular slideshow plugins for WordPress, with over 700,000 installs and…
The PublishPress Pro plugin allows you to send notifications about content changes via Slack. Recently, Slack has made some changes to how integrations worked. So we have had to update the Slack integration in PublishPress Pro. If you are using PublishPress Pro, you don’t have to update immediately. However, at some point, the old system…
Back in June, we released “Editor Features” in the PublishPress Capabilities plugin. This allowed you to hide almost any feature on the post editing screen. Why do I say “almost”? Because the first release of Editor Features could not hide metaboxes. I’m happy to say that you can now use PublishPress Capabilities to hide metaboxes….
PublishPress 3.4 is available now, and it has a completely new editorial calendar. The old calendar had been around for many years and was starting to show its age. The old version used PHP for 80% of the codebase and only relied on Javascript for the drag-and-drop actions. This legacy code meant that the calendar…
PublishPress Blocks is a plugin that adds over 20 extra blocks to the Gutenberg interface, along with custom layouts, CSS styles, and permissions for blocks. There are many Gutenberg plugins available, but PublishPress Blocks is different. This plugin has a strong focus on being useful for publishers and content creators. If you want to see…
The Post Expirator plugin allows you to choose an “expire” date for WordPress posts. When your post is automatically unpublished, you can delete the post, change the status, or update the post categories. The plugin has over 100,000 users and has been working reliably for years. We’re delighted to say that Post Expirator is now part of…
Version 3.0 of the PublishPress plugin is now available. This release focuses on improving the Notifications feature. You’ll find that the Notifications are now more stable, and the Notifications Log is more useful. There is an extra reason that we labeled this as “3.0” rather than simply continuing to “2.5”. There are some relatively minor…
If you’re running a busy website, it’s important to get a clear understanding of what content is being published. The PublishPress plugin does offer a Calendar view where you can see all your content in a week-by-week layout. However, a Calendar view must inevitably hide some information or else it would become unbearably crowded. For…
