PublishPress Series Pro

Sites that publish connected articles often end up with posts scattered across the archive. PublishPress Series Pro addresses this by letting you group posts into defined series or issues. You can add a post to an existing series, start a new one, or insert a post into the middle of a series, and the order adjusts automatically. Each series can have its own image.

Series details appear on posts in a customizable format, so readers see the context of what they are reading. On the editor side, the plugin works with the WordPress Posts screen and offers filters to find serialized content. Pro adds support for custom post types, multiple series per post, series groups, shortcodes and extra template tokens. It suits magazines, newspapers and serialized blogs.

Features

• Simple series assignment: Add any post to an existing series or create a new one. You can also insert a post into the middle of a series, and the order updates automatically.
• Central series dashboard: Add, edit and delete series from one dashboard, and upload an image to represent each series on your site.
• Bulk series publishing: The Publish Series screen lets you schedule, publish or unpublish every post in a series together, so a whole series goes live in sync.
• Automatic series information: Posts display series metadata in a customizable format, giving readers clear context about where the post fits in the larger series.
• Posts screen filters: See which posts belong to a series right from the WordPress Posts list, and use filters to locate and manage serialized content quickly.
• Custom post type support: Pro extends series beyond standard posts to any custom post type, which helps when your site structure goes past regular blog entries.
• Multiple series per post: Assign one post to several series, useful when an article overlaps with different themes or storylines on your site.
• Series groups and shortcodes: Organize series into groups for higher-level navigation, and use shortcodes to place series information anywhere within posts or pages.
