PublishPress Series Pro organizes related WordPress content into magazine issues, topic collections, lesson sequences, or story chapters. Readers can follow the sequence from one part to the next, while editors manage related items as a series.

Build series with mixed content

Add content to an existing series or start one while editing. Insert an item in the middle of a sequence and the add-on adjusts the order. Pro works with posts, pages, and custom post types, including series that mix these content types. A post can also belong to multiple series, so one article or lesson can appear in more than one collection.

Editors can filter the post list by series and give each series its own image. Pro also supports grouping series and adds extra tokens for customizing series templates.

Manage order and publishing

The Publish Series screen includes a central view of the content connected to a series. This screen is available in both the free and Pro versions. Use it to reorder items, schedule them, publish them, or unpublish them as a group. For a series prepared in advance, editors can set its order and release timing together.

Show readers where each item fits

• Series Post List Boxes can list the items in a series, with options for titles, featured pictures, authors, and publication dates.
• Series Post Details shows an item's position, such as part 3 of 8.
• Series Post Navigation adds previous and next links for moving through the sequence.

Pro shortcodes let you place series information at a specific point in post content. Available shortcodes include [series_post_list_box], [series_nav], [series_meta], and [publishpress_series_categories].

The extension also includes Series Table of Contents and Latest Series widgets. When used with PublishPress Blocks, its Content Display block can display content from a selected series with additional layout options.

Set up a series

Install PublishPress Series Pro in WordPress, then create or edit a series and assign posts, pages, or custom post types from the editing screen. Set the order and pick how series information appears. Add shortcodes where you want more precise control over placement.
