ThemeRuby Multi Authors – Assign Multiple Writers to Posts

A lightweight plugin that allows you to assign multiple writers to posts, fast and easy to use.

outreachboard

Outreachboard lets you publish guest articles faster by creating personalized pre-publishing checklists. Authors complete tasks like adding internal links, optimizing images, and inserting alt text before you import and publish content from Outreachboard into your WordPress site.
It helps you manage guest author content in a dedicated editor and publish it on your blog without giving authors access to your WordPress dashboard. Instead of juggling emails, documents, and images, you can handle everything in one place.
You decide which types of submissions to accept — topic ideas, full articles, sponsored content, or general requests. You also control the review process and can request edits directly inside the article.
The plugin flags missing alt text, broken formatting, missing internal links, and more. It also blocks unsupported or risky file types like zip or rar to keep your site secure.
This is not a content management system. It’s a focused tool to help you accept, review, and publish guest content more efficiently.
Built for teams and solo editors who want to publish faster while keeping full control over what goes live.
