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.
<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>

Draft Concluder

Email users that have outstanding drafts.

By default in WordPress, accessing the drafts listing of any given post type (including posts and pages) in the admin requires multiple clicks. Then filtering the drafts listing by a particular user (generally to view only your drafts) additionally requires some non-obvious manual URL hacking.
This plugin allows you one click access to all drafts, as well as to just your drafts, of each post type via the main admin menu.
In addition, the plugin provides a count of the number of current drafts for that post type in the link (i.e. the link could read “All Drafts (3)” to indicate there are three drafts for that post type, and “My Drafts (1)” to indicate you only have one draft for that post type).
When the user is responsible for all of the drafts of a given post type (and the “My Drafts” link is not disabled via a hook) then only the “My Drafts” links will appear. It would be redundant to show both the “All Drafts” and “My Drafts” links in this situation. This behavior also ensures only one link is present for single-author blogs.
Also, the draft link(s) only appear for users who have the capability to edit posts of that post type.
The plugin hides the two types of draft links when no related drafts for that post type are present. See the Filters section for how to override this behavior. Filters are also provided to disable the plugin from ever showing the “All Drafts” or the “My Drafts” links.
On admin listings of only draft posts, this plugin also adds a dropdown above the table that allows for the listing to be filtered by the selected draft author. (Only users who actually have a draft post are included in the dropdown.)
