At least 10K of 850.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “reject”, “moderate” and “duplicate posts” (#6, #8 and #9 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

I can plan my revisions to post ahead of time, and program them to be posted regularly, rather than in bunch. It’s working nice and I rarely get bugs.

This plugin solved my problem. I am undertaking a massive revision of all my articles and various content, and finally, I can work on an article multiple times without being forced to revise and publish it all at once. For me, it was the ideal solution.

I’ve been using Revisions every day for five years and have found it excellent. Tech support is fast, courteous and knowledgeable. Couldn’t get along without it.

We utilize several different PublishPress plugins on our website. The level of customization that they provide is simply unparalleled. Other solutions to our needs would take days to weeks of work to set up and far too much time to maintain. PublishPress has really simplified our processes and proven themselves to be critical to our website’s functionality. I highly recommend them to anybody looking at any of their plugins. Their support is also excellent. Recently, an update to a couple of their plugins added some features. Our poor configuration (my fault) led to those changes breaking our revision process. After weeks of trying to figure it out myself, I reached out to PublishPress support. They were quick to help and offer ideas, even without having a full picture of the problem. After a bit, I was able to get a duplicate site set up that they could test on. Kevin and Riza spent (I’m sure) quite a bit of time working through our configuration and coming up with a simple solution for us. It might not sound like much, but it saved me weeks of frustration and confusion. I couldn’t be happier with them.

Brilliant plugin for us non-pro webdevs. I find this approach suits me better to the “duplicate, edit then switch the slug” amateur approach. Highly recommended, especially if you’re still learning WordPress.

Only thing of its kind that seems to work, which is wonderful. However, setup and editing are cumbersome the the process has multiple steps that can seem convoluted. Mistakes are easy to make.

I really appreciate their prompt and courteous support, even for users like me who lack technical knowledge and aren’t good at asking questions. This makes me want to continue using their services for a long time. I’m also satisfied that we could communicate effectively even though we used translation software from Japan for our interactions.
