<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>

<h3>Email Trouble Shooting Guide</h3>
<p><em>Not receiving Drafty In Here emails?</em></p>
<h4>1. Do you have any draft posts?</h4>
<p>The email will never be sent automaticly if you do not have any draft posts. If you do not have draft posts but wish to send a test email check the box that says <code>Send a test e-mail when you save changes</code>, then save changes.</p>
<h4>2. Have you scheduled your email?</h4>
<p>You can check this in the plugin settings screen (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/drafty-in-here/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots</a>).</p>
<h4>3. Is your email address correct?</h4>
<p>You can check this in the plugin settings screen (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/drafty-in-here/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshots</a>).</p>
<h4>4. Have you checked your email spam folder?</h4>
<p>Sometimes email may end up in your spam folder.</p>
<h4>5. Are you receiving ANY WordPress emails from your site?</h4>
<p>If you are not receiving emails for example when someone post a comment  or WordPress automatically updates, there may be something wrong with the way your WordPress site is set up to send email. For more help on this issue please check out this excellent guide: <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-not-sending-email-issue/" rel="nofollow ugc">How to Fix WordPress Not Sending Email Issue</a></p>
<h4>6. Is your blog receiving enough traffic?</h4>
<p>Our plugin works off the ‘WordPress Cron’ mechanism which means your email can only be sent when someone lands on your site. This can be a problem if you do not have enough traffic.
