<p>Zensor doesn’t work for the current version of WordPress, probably won’t be updated anytime soon, and could cause loss of life, limb, or data.</p>
<p>Zensor enforces a two-step publishing workflow in WordPress.  The two steps are:</p>
<ol>
<li>An author submits an article (post/page) for review.</li>
<li>A moderator approves or disapproves the article.</li>
</ol>
<p>The article is only visible after the second step.  The author can add a note that the<br />
moderator can read when evaluating the article.  Similarly, the moderator can include<br />
a justification for his/her decision.</p>
<h4>Moderators</h4>
<p>Who is a moderator is determined by the <code>zensor_moderate</code> capability.  Upon installation,<br />
the Administrator is assigned this capability.  Also, a new role, Zensor Moderator is created, which<br />
only has this capability and <code>read</code>.  This is a dedicated user for moderation, eliminating<br />
potential conflicts of interest.  The Zensor Moderator cannot modify posts in any way<br />
except to accept/reject them and add a note that will be sent back to the author.  Perfect for<br />
the boss who needs to sign off on everything, but shouldn’t be allowed to add his own opinion.<br />
If you’d like other roles to be able to moderate, then you can grant them the <code>zensor_moderate</code><br />
capability using the <a href="http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/" rel="nofollow ugc">Role Manager</a> plugin.</p>
<h4>Notifications</h4>
<p>Every time someone does something, the other party is notified.  These notifications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hello author, your article was just approved/rejected.</li>
<li>Hello moderator, an article was just saved that you need to look at.</li>
</ul>
<p>Notification frequencies for both author and moderator can be independently set<br />
to either immediate, hourly, or daily.  All messages can be edited through the<br />
options interface.</p>
<h3>Future Plans</h3>
<ul>
<li>Consolidate all of the options into a single option containing an array.  It’s too messy to have so many options for the messages.</li>
<li>A feed of the pages/posts in the moderation system.  Would have to be authenticated.</li>
<li>Should posts in the moderation system be private/draft?</li>
<li>Keep a copy of the old, approved version of a page/post while the new version is in the queue.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version History</h3>
<h4>Version 0.7</h4>
<ul>
<li>Notifications frequency is now selectable</li>
<li>Added fix to work with <a href="http://www.vtardia.com/improved-include-page/" rel="nofollow ugc">Improved Include Page</a> plugin.  Thanks, Vincent!</li>
<li>Moved localizing out of javascript file</li>
</ul>
<h4>Version 0.6</h4>
<ul>
<li>Moved development to wp-plugins.org</li>
<li>Administrator is granted <code>zensor_moderate</code> capability on activation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Version 0.5</h4>
<ul>
<li>First push to <a href="http://www.siebold-gymnasium.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Siebold Gymnasium</a> website</li>

<p>PublishPress Planner is ideal for WordPress sites that publish and promote high-quality content. Our goal is to help you publish content from inside WordPress. Our aim is to build SaaS-style features in WordPress so people don’t need an extra service to plan your content.

<h3>Content Calendar</h3>
<p>The Content Calendar gives you a powerful overview of your publishing schedule. This screen works as a marketing calendar and an editorial calendar. You can easily see when content is planned, and when it was published. You can also drag-and-drop content to a new publication date. By default, you see all the WordPress content you have planned for the next few weeks. If you need to drill down, you can filter the calendar by post status, categories, users or post types.</p>

<h3>Content Overview</h3>
<p>The Content Overview screen is a companion to the Calendar screen. Whereas the Calendar allows you to see content organized by dates, Content Overview allows you to drill down and see content organized by status, categories, or users. This content organizer allows to choose any data from WordPress to show in columns. In the top-right corner is a “Print” button. Click this to get a printable overview of all your planned content.</p>
<p><a href="https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/content-overview/" rel="nofollow ugc">Click here to read about the Content Overview</a>.</p>
<h3>Content Board</h3>

<h3>Reminder Notifications</h3>
<p>This PublishPress Planner Pro feature allows you to send notifications either before or after the publishing date for content. For example, before publication, you can send a reminder to editors, asking them to proof-read the post for publication. Or two or three days after publication, you can send a reminder to various team members, asking them to promote the post on social media.</p>

PublishPress Planner – Editorial Calendar, Marketing Content, Kanban Board


I manage 7 sites for my own business, as well as looking after over 150 client sites, and this plugin is great for keeping an eye on what's going on with the content team, when content is getting published and so on.



TBH, I think we only use a fraction of what it is capable of, but what we do use is excellent.


Great Plugin!
