PublishPress Planner
PublishPress Planner helps teams plan, manage, and schedule content on WordPress sites. Its Content Calendar shows planned and published items, supports creating content, and lets users move an item to a new publication date by dragging it. The Content Overview groups work by status, category, or user and can produce a printable summary. A Content Board provides a column for each status and lets users move posts between stages. Teams can set editorial notification timing, recipients, and message details. The calendar exports schedules to Google Calendar and other iCal-compatible software, but changes made in external calendars do not sync back to WordPress. Planner Free costs nothing and includes the calendar, overview, board, notifications, and calendar export. Paid annual bundles start with Business at $129 a year, billed annually; Agency costs $299 a year, billed annually, and Unlimited costs $499 a year, billed annually. These bundles include PublishPress Pro plugins, including Planner Pro, which adds reminders, post metadata in notifications, removal of PublishPress branding and ads, and priority personal support.
