Overview

PublishPress Series is a publishing plugin that allows you to organize posts into issues or series. This is ideal for magazines, newspapers, short-story writers, teachers, comic artists, or anyone who writes multiple posts on the same topic.

Newspapers, magazines and publishers can use PublishPress Series to create issues based on topics or time periods:

  • Collect posts into monthly issues for a magazine.
  • Group together newspaper articles on the same topic.
  • Organize chapters into an overall story.

When you’re writing a post, you can easily add a post to an existing series, or start a new series. You can also add a new post into the middle of an existing series, and the plugin will adjust the order.

Does exactly what I was looking for
by YogieAnamCara·7 months ago·1 reply

I am just using the free version of the plugin. It does exactly what I was looking for already at the free version. Shortcodes would be something that would let me buy the pro version; however, currently I am satisfied with the basic handling. Although, I wish the series information would be collapsible.

A great plugin!

It has helped me tremendously on my new community website to organize my series, which makes it easier for others to find them and the next post in the series! Thank you for this!

Fiddly

It works, but it’s hard to get the styling right. The templates are all html with proprietary css classes in a text box.

Worth It!

A great app that saved my neck. I wanted to divide my site into chapters. The only thing I could find was an app that hadn’t been updated in six years! No thanks.

but this one did the trick, allowing my “novel” to look very professional.
