PublishPress Statuses Pro

Content teams often lose track of where a piece stands. The default WordPress statuses cover only a few stages, which leaves writers and editors guessing about who is doing what. This plugin lets you define statuses that match your own workflow, so each piece of content has a clear stage and next step. That reduces bottlenecks and miscommunication between team members.

It works with the native WordPress editorial environment, so a simple blog and a larger publishing operation can both adapt it to their routines. A dashboard shows all statuses in one place, permissions control who can change them, and notifications tell the team when something moves. The plugin also supports custom post types and offers a REST API for connecting other tools.

Features

• Customizable content statuses: Create statuses that fit your team's workflow, giving clear visibility into the progress of each piece of content and what needs to happen next.
• Editorial dashboard: View and manage content statuses in one place, which helps make sure no task or update gets overlooked.
• Status permissions: Control who can change or view statuses, which helps maintain editorial order and prevents unauthorized edits.
• Notifications and alerts: Team members are notified automatically when a content status changes, so everyone stays informed as work moves along.
• Bulk status updates: Update the statuses of multiple posts or pages at the same time with a few clicks instead of editing each one.
• Custom colors and labels: Give statuses their own colors and labels so workflow stages are easy to tell apart at a glance.
• Custom post type support: Apply custom statuses to posts, pages and custom post types, keeping management consistent across different content formats.
• History and audit logs: Track changes made to content statuses, which supports accountability and makes it easier to review and improve your process.

Best for

• Editorial teams managing content from idea to publication
• Publishers and blogs with several writers and editors
• Sites that need custom statuses on custom post types
