## Description

WP Post Series is a _lightweight_ plugin for making a series of posts and showing
information about the series on the post page.

Posts in a series will automatically show a series box (prepended before the post
content), or you can insert them manually using the Post Series Block.

#### Features

 * Add post series using the familiar WordPress UI and give each one a description.
 * Assign post series to your posts.
 * Filter posts in the backend by series.
 * Show the series above the post content or using the Post Series Block in the 
   editor.
 * Developer friendly code — Custom taxonomies & template files.

#### Contributing and reporting bugs

You can contribute code and localizations to this plugin via GitHub: [https://github.com/mikejolley/wp-post-series](https://github.com/mikejolley/wp-post-series)

#### Support

Use the WordPress.org forums for community support – I cannot offer support directly
for free. If you spot a bug, you can of course log it on [Github](https://github.com/mikejolley/wp-post-series)
instead where I can act upon it more efficiently.

If you want help with a customisation, hire a developer!

## Installation

#### Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers
itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install,
log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add
New.

In the search field type “WP Post Series” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve 
found the plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating
and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by clicking _Install
Now_.

#### Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading the plugin and uploading it 
to your webserver via your favourite FTP application.

 * Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
 * Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin
   folder to your WordPress `wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 * Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

### 󠀁[Not bad, but problem cleaning up (WP 5.7)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-bad-but-problem-cleaning-up-wp-5-7/)󠁿

To be fair, it is described as a basic plugin, but still installed fine with WordPress
5.7 and does do the job quite well. However, when deactivated and deleted, it left
the subcategory “Series” under Dashboard “Posts”, a column Post Series under All
Posts, and a Post series text box in the Quick Edit window. Would be nice if it 
cleaned up after itself.

This is an excellent tool for any regular blogger, as it lets you group together
a collection of posts or articles. It’s lightweight, no configuration needed, and
it will show all articles in a series at the top of a post so readers can see other
relevant articles.
