WordPress VIP Workflow

This plugin extends the standard publishing workflow by adding custom statuses and automated notifications. It is designed for editorial teams and content managers who need more granular control and visibility over the content creation process.

• Custom Statuses: Define specific stages like 'Pitch', 'Assigned', or 'Legal Review' to reflect your team's actual process. These statuses appear in the post editor and list views.
• Status Change Notifications: Automatically send email alerts or trigger webhooks when content moves to a new status, keeping stakeholders informed without manual updates.
• Publish Guard: Optionally prevent publishing until content has passed through all required custom statuses, enforcing workflow compliance.
• Shareable Previews: Generate time-limited or single-use preview links for content in any custom status, allowing secure review by internal or external users.
• Editorial Metadata: Attach custom fields, such as 'Needs Photo' or 'Priority', to posts for additional tracking and context within the editorial sidebar.
