  • A super useful plugin for bloggers

    I was looking for a way to require users on my website to add featured image on each blog post and found this plugin.

  • Very Helpful Plugins and Support

    The full PublishPress suite is turning out to be very helpful with our full site redesign. It fills a lot of holes that other plugins weren't able to do. I've also been very pleased with the support of their team. They've been quick to reply with solutions to my issues and receptive to suggestions that I have to make things better. Multisite development can be tricky and frustrating at best so I appreciate good support with that when available. Cheers.

  • Easy to use and useful plugin

    I first installed the plugin to check translation then I kept it in my website because I found out it was useful to carry on my work. Thanks, I wish you carry on developing this and other useful plugin like this one.

  • Helps me with every posting

    I set it up to prevent me from posting until I have added at least a tag. Very helpful!
