You’ll be able to create/assign series and display other posts in the series. It consists of a custom taxonomy (`post-series`) and two shortcodes `[post_series_block]` and `[post_series_nav]`. It will automatically display a list of posts in the series at the top of a post and a link to the next post in the series when applicable. ## Screenshots * [[ * An example of a list of posts in a series, automatically placed at the top of a post. * [[ * An example of a call to action at the end of a post, only shows up if there is a next post in the series. * [[ * Adding a post to a series is as simple as adding a tag to it. ## Installation 1. Upload the `post-series-manager` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Start adding series tags to your posts like you would a regular tag ## FAQ Installation Instructions 1. Upload the `post-series-manager` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Start adding series tags to your posts like you would a regular tag I don’t want it to show up before/after/somewhere else, what do I do? The plugin is set up in such a way that the content filters that are put in place can be removed fairly simply. Add one, or both, of the following to your functions. php: ``` // Remove the shortcode that's automatically added before the content remove_filter( 'the_content', array( $post_series_manager, 'post_series_before' ) ); // Remove the shortcode that's automatically added after the content remove_filter( 'the_content', array( $post_series_manager, 'post_series_after' ) ); ``` How do I use the shortcodes? The shortcodes are simple and have no additional parameters to use. The shortcodes that are available are: * [post_series_block] – this is normally added before the content * [post_series_nav] – this is normally added after the content Can I filter stuff? A number of filters have been included, and more are to follow. The filters that are included (subject to change): ``` // Filters "This post of part of the series: " text post-series-manager-series-text // Filters the " (Current)" text post-series-manager-current-text // Filters the "Continue reading this series:" text post-series-manager-next-text // Filters the "Other posts in this series:" text post-series-list-intro-text // Filters the start "
    " tag post-series-list-opening-tags // Filters the ending "
" tag post-series-list-ending-tags ``` Be very aware that if you change the opening ol to ul, you will also want to change the ending ol to match. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/49a28ae4c74dbf654afe41a502be4d651327c890031cc50f3ea56962605b489d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very simple and effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-simple-and-effective-12/)󠁿 [ohliza](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ohliza/) April 25, 2017 It’s not gorgeous but it works really well. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8fafe9749ece8904704b994e1611d12094c289210ebc1f57442983540221a7b4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and Effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-effective-511/)󠁿 [Scott_Mann](https://profiles.wordpress.org/scott_mann/) September 3, 2016 Easy and effective barebones solution.
