New Publisher PLUS
Publisher PLUS is a new service prividing Feed Proxy and Podcast Subscriber statistics for Podlove Publisher.
To use it, enable the Publisher PLUS module, then visit plus.podlove.org to create an account.
Subscriber Statistics are only the beginning. Expect more features soon!
Experimental: Shownotes
Generate and manage episode show notes. Helps you provide rich metadata for URLs. Full support for Publisher Templates.
This module is still a work-in-progress. But it's usable, so feel free to give it a try, especially if your shownotes are link-heavy and you're comfortable writing Podlove (Twig) templates.
The module is currently hidden. Make it visible by setting a PHP constant, for example in your wp-config.php: define('PODLOVE_MODULE_SHOWNOTES_VISBLE', true);.
