  • Story Budget – View your upcoming content budget.

More details for each feature, screenshots and documentation can be found on our website.

Installation

The easiest way to install this plugin is to go to Add New in the Plugins section of your blog admin and search for “Edit Flow.” On the far right side of the search results, click “Install.”

If the automatic process above fails, follow these simple steps to do a manual install:

  1. Extract the contents of the zip file into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Write and enjoy the merits of a structured editorial workflow!

FAQ

Does Edit Flow work with multisite?

Yep, in the sense that you can activate Edit Flow on each subsite. Edit Flow doesn’t yet offer the ability to manage content across a network of sites.

Edit Flow doesn’t do X, Y, and Z. That makes me sad.

All development happens on GitHub.

For support questions, feedback and ideas, please use the WordPress.org forums, which we look at often. For everything else, say hello@editflow.org.

..was this release an accident? no accompanying changelog, kills the site with this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘int’ (T_STRING), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST) in /opt/rh/httpd24/root/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/edit-flow/modules/calendar/calendar.php on line 25 xargs: sh: exited with status 255; aborting

I can’t believe I just discovered this plugin today – I’ve been needing something like this for years. It’s exactly everything an online publisher could want for creating, managing, and organizing large amounts of content. The custom post status, the internal notes – it’s really just fantastic – THANK YOU!

Great plugin, logical interface. But there are two huge downsides: No active support from the developers It does not work on Gutenberg So if you’re not working with Gutenberg (which will be the default editor in WP 5.0) and you have no need for support: go for it! Great plugin! In all other cases: find something better, and let me know what you’ve found, I need a replacement as well 😉

Been using it for awhile after I stopped a subscription that did both editorial and social. Used another plugin for social and knew of this one. So gave it a run and it does exactly what I need. I create and work on several posts at once and currently post 6 out of 7 days. I need something that keeps me on track. I particularly like the metadata that really keep me on track. Incredible value for a free plugin!

  • Sort posts on the Manage Posts view by visible editorial metadata date fields
  • Modify email notifications with two filters

  • Bug fix: Support PHP 5.2.x by removing the anonymous functions we mistakenly added
  • Bug fix: Only update user’s Story Budget saved filters when the Story Budget is being viewed, to avoid other views setting the filter values

0.7.1 (Apr. 11, 2012)

  • Allow users to save post subscriptions the first time they save the post. This also fixes the bug where a user wouldn’t be subscribed until they saved the post twice

  • Bug fix: Specify a max-width on <select> dropdowns in the calendar and story budget so long values don’t break formatting

0.7 (Jan. 9, 2012)

  • Entire plugin was rewritten into a modular architecture (e.g. each feature is broken into a module you can enable or disable). One point of the modular architecture is to make it much easier for others to contribute new features. For the end user, there’s a brand new settings page where you can manage your modules. Each module then registers a configuration view for module settings. Most have options to choose which post types you’d like it activated for, along with other configuration options.
  • Calendar is far more functional. Content is viewed in a six week view by default, and number of weeks is configurable in screen options. Posts can be dragged and dropped between dates. Click on a post title to get the details about the post, including editorial metadata.
  • Custom statuses can be drag and drop ordered with AJAX. All statuses (including core ‘draft’ and ‘pending’) can be edited or deleted.
  • Editorial Metadata terms can be ordered with AJAX. Terms can be made “viewable” and then will be displayed on the manage posts view and calendar if enabled.
  • Story Budget shows “viewable” editorial metadata and fixes a few bugs, including not showing posts in a subcategory of a parent category.
  • Notifications/subscriptions are filtered so you can disable the auto-subscribing of authors or editorial commenters.
  • Important note: If upgrading from pre-v0.6, please upgrade to v0.6.5 first to ensure all of your data remains intact.
  • Read the full release post

0.6.5 (Sept. 19, 2011)

  • Bug fix: Workaround for a bug in core where the timestamp is set when a post is saved with a custom status. Instead, we update the timestamp on publish to current time if a custom post date hasn’t been set. Thanks saomay for help tracking the bug down.

0.6.4 (Jul. 22, 2011)

  • Display unpublished custom statuses inline with the post title, per WordPress standard UI
  • New number type for editorial metadata, so you can have fields like “Word Count”
  • Dropped the admin option for disabling custom statuses on posts. It didn’t work, and this is handled by post_type_supports()
  • Add a ‘Clear’ link to editorial metadata date fields to allow user to easily clear the input
  • Bug fix: Proper support for bulk editing custom statuses
  • Bug fix: Contributor saving a new post respects the default custom status, instead of reverting to ‘draft’ as the post status
  • Bug fix: Better respect for user roles and capabilities in Story Budget
  • Bug fix: Custom statuses in Quick Edit now work as you’d expect them
  • Bug fix: Show all taxonomy terms (most likely categories) on the Story Budget, regardless of whether they include published content
  • Bug fix: If there are no editorial metadata fields available, a message will display instead of leaving an empty post meta box

0.6.3 (Mar. 21, 2011)

  • Better approach to including files so Edit Flow works properly on Windows systems.

We’ve expanded this functionality to be completely customizable; admins can add any number of editorial metadata with the following types: checkbox, date, location, paragraph, text, or user dropdown.
  • New feature: Story Budget. View all of your upcoming posts in a more traditional story budget view. Posts are grouped by category, and view can be filtered by post status, category, user, or limited to a date range. Hit the print button to take it on the go.
  • Completely rewritten calendar view now saves filter state on a user by user basis. Also, highlights current day, and displays status and time for each post.
  • Temporarily disabled QuickPitch widget until we rewrite it to support editorial metadata.
  • Bug fix: Editorial comments should no longer show up in the stock Recent Comments widget or in the comments view in the WordPress Admin. The comment count number should also be correct.
  • Bug fix: Duplicate custom post statuses and usergroups are handled in more sane ways (aka creating, editing, and deleting should work as expected)

  • Fixes issue where default Custom Statuses and User Groups were returning even after being deleted

0.5.1 (Jul. 29, 2010)
