  • Perfect for Series and Courses

    Does something very simple, very easily - that is to make the posts chronological. This is excellent for any type of study - a book, a series, a course or even programs. This should have been an automatic option in WP. It would be nice to have options to make some categories chono and others non-chrono. Thats another level

  • Perfect for creating a online course

    The plugin was just what I needed. It is perfect for my online course. I use the category for the course title and the posts for the chapters. Thank you.

  • Good Stuff, but...

    When reversing posts, the labels Next Post/Prev Post remains the same. It means that in order to chronologically continue reading you have to click Prev Post instead of Next Post. It's kind of misleading.

  • Simple and It Works

    Probably the least painful -- as in 0 on a 10 scale -- of any plugin I've used on WordPress. It works. Boom.
