Content Lifecycle Manager helps you keep WordPress content accurate, up to date, and properly maintained over time.
As websites grow, published content often becomes outdated, inconsistent, or easy to forget. Pages and posts may still be live, but the information inside them can slowly lose relevance. In many cases, the challenge is not creating new content. It is making sure existing content is still correct, still useful, and still worth keeping.
Content Lifecycle Manager brings a simple maintenance workflow into WordPress so content upkeep becomes easier to manage as part of everyday publishing.
You can assign ownership, track review dates, identify content that needs attention, and take clear next steps such as marking content as reviewed, snoozing a review, or archiving content that is no longer relevant. Instead of relying on memory or scattered editorial processes, your team gets a structured way to review and maintain content over time.
The plugin also includes a lightweight Ideas area for capturing future content topics and turning them into drafts when needed. This helps connect early planning with the long-term lifecycle of published content.
Whether you manage a small site or a large content library, Content Lifecycle Manager helps you build a more reliable process for keeping your website content current, useful, and easier to maintain.

I have a fresh install with no plugins and Twenty Seventeen and I get this error when I try to activate the plugin: 

The plugin does not have a valid header.

Is this plugin dead?

Unable to Activate

Great plugin, logical interface. But there are two huge downsides:


	No active support from the developers
	It does not work on Gutenberg


So if you're not working with Gutenberg (which will be the default editor in WP 5.0) and you have no need for support: go for it! Great plugin!
In all other cases: find something better, and let me know what you've found, I need a replacement as well ;)
