<p>Based on <a href="https://twitter.com/johnbillion/status/1314494422529331203" rel="nofollow ugc">an idea by John Blackbourn</a>,  and mentioned by <a href="https://poststatus.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Post Status</a>, this plugin is designed to be a reminder to those who leave draft posts unloved. And, yes, all of John’s ideas are here, with more to boot.</p>
<ul>
<li>Send emails out on a daily or weekly schedule and at a time that you’d prefer</li>
<li>Look for draft pages as well as posts, if you like. Or just pages, if that’s what you want. We won’t judge</li>
<li>Target those drafts that were created more than a specific time period ago, or have not been updated for a while</li>
<li>Each user, who has drafts that then reminding about, will receive an email. No, they can’t unsubscribe from them</li>
<li>Each email will show the number of drafts, along with a reminder of each of them</li>
<li>Optional ability to prevent the plugin from being deactivated (allow you to avoid the temptation to do so rather than, you know, deal with the drafts)</li>
<li>Debug features to allow to verify what’s being sent</li>
</ul>
<p>Oh, and, naturally, the code passes <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Automattic/VIP-Coding-Standards" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress VIP</a> coding standards.</p>

Draft Concluder

Email users that have outstanding drafts.

TouchOfTech

<p>I run multiple blogs and have the ability for people to sign up and write content for me. I was disappointed that WordPress does not have anything built it to alert me with an email notification when a new author writes something. I don�t log into the sites unless I have to, so new content may sit for a while without being noticed. I did find 1 plugin that would accomplish the email, but it was buggy. So I�ve written my own and am willing to share it with you. Specifically this plugin is designed to email you when an author saves a draft. Now there are some additional settings, but check them out below. As always, suggestions are welcome, just leave them in the comments along with any bugs you might encounter.</p>
<h4>Draft Notify Features</h4>

</ul>
