FAQs
This page answers common questions about using Content Lifecycle Manager.
Does the plugin change post status or URLs?
No. Content Lifecycle Manager does not change WordPress post status or permalinks as part of its maintenance workflow.
Why is content showing as Needs Attention?
Content usually shows as Needs Attention when:
– the next review date is missing
– the next review date is overdue
For more detail, see: How to Review and Maintain Content
Why does the editor panel not appear?
Check:
– that you are using the Block Editor
– that the post type is enabled in plugin settings
– that plugin assets are not being served from stale cache
If you recently updated the plugin, try a hard refresh.

Can I capture content ideas too?

Why does Delete ask for confirmation in Ideas?
Deleting an idea is permanent, so the plugin shows a confirmation prompt before the action is applied.
