PublishPress Planner Pro

Description

Planner Pro structures the WordPress editorial workflow with a visual calendar of scheduled posts, custom production statuses, editorial metadata for each post, and automatic team notifications. It is designed for newsrooms, collaborative blogs, and content marketing teams that need to coordinate topics, deadlines, and reviews within the WP dashboard itself, without relying on external spreadsheets or separate project management tools.

Key Features of Planner Pro

• Visual editorial calendar
  Displays scheduled posts in a calendar grid with drag-and-drop functionality for rearranging dates.
• Custom production statuses
  Creates custom statuses (Planned, Under Review, Approved) in addition to the default WordPress statuses.
• Editorial metadata for each post
  Adds extra fields such as brief, deadline, keyword, and assignee directly to the editing screen.
• Internal editorial comments
  Enables a private thread for the team on the post screen, separate from public comments.
• Automatic notifications
  Sends email alerts when the status changes, the deadline approaches, or someone is mentioned.

Benefits of Planner Pro

• Centralized newsroom coordination
  The team aligns topics, deadlines, and reviews without having to leave the WordPress dashboard.
• Full pipeline visibility
  The calendar shows at a glance what is scheduled, in production, or pending review.
• Less reliance on external tools
  Replaces the parallel use of spreadsheets, Trello, or Asana to track topics and deliverables.
• Standardized editorial process
  Each piece of content goes through the same steps and checks, reducing rework and communication issues.

Who Is Planner Pro Recommended For?

• Newsrooms for portals, online magazines, and news websites that publish several posts per week.
• Anyone who manages a corporate blog with planned topics and multiple contributing authors.
• Content marketing teams that coordinate topics with freelancers, reviewers, and SEO professionals.
• Anyone who needs an editorial calendar and production statuses integrated directly into WordPress.

How to Download Planner Pro

Anyone who works with content production at scale gains visibility into the entire editorial pipeline and reduces the time spent coordinating the team outside WordPress. Planner Pro is especially well suited for websites that publish frequently and rely on reviews by multiple people before a post goes live, keeping the topic planning, review, and scheduling workflow within the same environment where the content is written and published.
