Overview

Series is a plugin created to allow users to easily link posts together by using a WordPress taxonomy (like tags or categories) called “series”. It can be particularly useful if you write several posts spanning the same topic and want them tied together in some way that tags or categories doesn’t cover.

Professional Support

If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can access the support forums at Theme Hybrid, which is a professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins and themes for a community of 75,000+ users (and growing).

Plugin Development

If you’re a theme author, plugin author, or just a code hobbyist, you can follow the development of this plugin on it’s GitHub repository.

Not working in WP 6.4.2
by agilistandre·2 years ago

Installed the plugin, I can see the settings page, but the Series meta box on the post editing page is not showing.

still great
by aldelpech·5 years ago

I’ve been using Series for ages and it still works great.
Now I use PHP 7.1 and WordPress 5.4.1.
Thanks to Justin Tadlock for this plugin.

Great plugin
by Marklcm·7 years ago

the widget to show related listings that only shows on relevant posts is great

Easypeasy
by Yakti-R·9 years ago

Does what it needs to do and still works fine, even though not updated for a long time. Somewhere in the support forum of one of his plugins, Justin said he would only update a plugin when necessary (read: when it doesn’t work after a WP core upgrade or a vulnerability has been discovered). Although that is fine, since there is already too much change for the sake of change, it might be a good idea to do a WP-compatibility bump now and than. If it weren’t for Justin’s reputation, I would never consider using a plugin that hasn’t received updates for over two years.

Another Superb Effort By Our Renowned WP Superstar
by Robert·10 years ago

This an A+ job.

I do not know Justin Tadlock personally but he is probably the best maker of plugins in the world. This is another hole-in-one from the Tiger Woods of plugins:

  • – it works just like it says on the box
  • – it’s elegant and has no annoying promotional or other types of notifications
