PublishPress: Reminders 1.1.0

PublishPress Reminders is a WordPress plugin that automates team notifications around content publishing. It helps solve the common editorial problem of missed deadlines and last-minute reviews by sending reminders before and after a post is published. As an add-on in the PublishPress suite, it fits smoothly into an existing WordPress editorial workflow built with PublishPress tools and templates. The result is a more consistent process for writers, editors, and promoters, with clear prompts at each stage of the publishing timeline.

Use it to nudge authors with instructions ahead of time, request proofreading from editors shortly before publication, and trigger follow-up tasks after launch—such as social promotion checks or content validity review months later.

Main Features

• Before-publication reminders — Automatically notifies team members ahead of the publish date.
• After-publication reminders — Sends follow-up notifications after content goes live.
• Timed notification windows — Supports setups such as “2 days before,” “2–3 days after,” and longer follow-ups like “6 months after.”
• Role-based team targeting — Routes reminders to the appropriate authors, editors, and other stakeholders involved in publishing.
• Email notifications — Delivers reminder messages via email to keep tasks trackable and visible.
• Editorial workflow automation — Reduces manual check-ins by triggering reminders at consistent moments.
