Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Issues and Series for Newspapers, Magazines, Publishers, Writers

It makes it easier to write a series of posts and have them automatically linked together. One of the best ways to build an audience is to write short posts about the same subject over a period of time, rather than one long post, and there are SEO benefits to that as well. PublishPress Series takes the work out of organizing a series, so you write more and your readers can easily follow along.

While you are writing the post. The Series metabox on the post editing screen lets you add the post to an existing series or start a new one, so you never have to leave the editor to organize a series.

Yes. Choose the position you want and the plugin renumbers the rest of the series for you, so inserting a missing part does not mean editing every post that follows it.

Use the Publish Series screen, which lists every post in a series in one place and lets you reorder them there rather than post by post.

Yes, from the Publish Series screen, and it is in the free version. You can schedule the posts in a series to publish over time, or unpublish the whole series together.

Three things, and you can use any combination of them: Series Post List Box — all the posts in the series, with the title, featured image, author and publishing date if you want them. Series Post Details — where this post sits in the series, reading like "This entry is part 3 of 8 in the series How to Use WordPress". Series Post Navigation — previous and next arrows for moving through the series.

Yes. Two widgets come with the plugin: Series Table of Contents, which lists the parts of a series, and Latest Series, which shows recent series. Both work in a theme widget area or in the block editor. If you also use PublishPress Blocks, the Content Display block can pull in posts from a chosen series with more layout options.

Yes. Series are managed on their own screen, where you can add, edit and delete them and upload or select an image for each one.

Not in the free version, where a post belongs to one series. Adding a post to several series is a feature of PublishPress Series Pro.

The free version works with posts. Pages and custom post types are supported in PublishPress Series Pro, and a Pro series can even mix them — part 1 a post, part 2 a page, part 3 something else.
