1st update in two years produces fatal errors
by cpjmooney·1 year ago
..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

Awesome for Large Content Sites!
by mchelles·3 years ago
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!

Does not work in combination with Gutenberg
by Pieter Daalder·7 years ago·2 replies
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 😉
