Zensor 0.6 Released
I just released Version 0.6 of Zensor. You should download it now! “What is Zensor?”, you might be asking.
Zensor is a WordPress plugin which enforces a two-step publishing workflow for posts and pages in WordPress. One typical usage of the plugin would be requiring that all website content be approved by the big boss before being published on the web.
This release basically consists of me moving development over to wp-plugins.org. Not much was added since Version 0.5, which wasn’t really even advertised.
Planned features for future versions include:
- Configurable batched notifications
- Configure how often you are notified by the plugin.
- Enhanced WordPress 2.3 support
- Take advantage of the new “Pending Review” post status

This is a very interesting project, but it seems to be incompatible with another very important plugin I’m using called Inline Posts. When a post is called in another post or in a template (for example, our homepage template pulls together 10 different posts to create a dynamic page), there are lots of SQL errors (as seen here: http://pastebin.com/ffd1ab8c).
It seems both of these plugins are vital for moving WordPress forward as a full CMS system, it would be great to see them working together in the future.

I wasn’t able to reproduce your errors on the current version of Zensor in Subversion, so I think I’ve fixed that problem in the version that will be coming out in the next couple days.
A bigger problem is that I don’t think there’s a way to get the Inline Posts plugin to work with Zensor as it doesn’t run the included posts through the ‘the_content’ filter. That means that there’s no chance for Zensor to censor/moderate the content of the post.
Thanks for your interest!

Hi Ed,
That is excellent news. I really do hope I can make use of your wonderful plugin. And if I can, since it’s for my company site (a small non-profit), we will be glad to make a donation.
Moderating posts on the front page (using inline posts) are actually not a big problem, those posts are only edited by our administrator and probably don’t need moderation. It’s the rest of the site (a very large number of wordpress pages) that need to be watched more closely and where Zensor will come in very handy.
Looking forward to trying the new version.
