## Àpèjúwe

Based on [an idea by John Blackbourn](https://twitter.com/johnbillion/status/1314494422529331203),
and mentioned by [Post Status](https://poststatus.com/), this plugin is designed
to be a reminder to those who leave draft posts unloved. And, yes, all of JohnÌtumọ̀
Yorùbá: ’s ideas are here, with more to boot.

 * Send emails out on a daily or weekly schedule and at a time that youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’
   d prefer
 * Look for draft pages as well as posts, if you like. Or just pages, if thatÌtumọ̀
   Yorùbá: ’s what you want. We wonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t judge
 * Target those drafts that were created more than a specific time period ago, or
   have not been updated for a while
 * Each user, who has drafts that then reminding about, will receive an email. No,
   they canÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t unsubscribe from them
 * Each email will show the number of drafts, along with a reminder of each of them
 * Optional ability to prevent the plugin from being deactivated (allow you to avoid
   the temptation to do so rather than, you know, deal with the drafts)
 * Debug features to allow to verify whatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s being sent

Oh, and, naturally, the code passes [WordPress](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards)
and [WordPress VIP](https://github.com/Automattic/VIP-Coding-Standards) coding standards.

IÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’d like to thank [Caleb Burks](https://calebburks.com/) for the 
feedback he provided. Also, the iconography is courtesy of the very talented [Janki Rathod](https://www.fiverr.com/jankirathore).

## FAQ

### WhyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s it called Draft Concluder?

Because it helps you find an end to those annoying drafts that sit around and never
get completed. And itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s a pun on “draft excluder”. Yes, I know Ìtumọ̀
Yorùbá: – blame my SO, who came up with the name.

### What does the “Status” on the Settings screen mean?

In Settings -> General -> Draft Concluder, youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ll see, under the 
title, a status Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – this will tell you when it last ran and whether
it was successful or not.

The success is dependent on whether any error was returned when sending out emails
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – a failure would indicate a problem with `wp_mail` and will need
further investigation.

### The email isnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t turning up at the time that itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s scheduled!

The internal WordPress scheduler is an interesting beast. ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s totally
reliant on someone visiting your site for it to trigger Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – so if you
set it to 1am but nobody visits until 8am then, yeah, you wonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t get
email until after 8am.

Thankfully, I thought of you when I wrote the plugin. As per the previous question,
thereÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s a status on the settings screen. Additionally, there are 
2 shortcodes that you can add to any post or page to help you out.

    ```
    [dc_now] - this will run the email generator and show, on screen, what would be sent if you were running it now.

    [dc_last_run] - this will show, on screen, what happened during the last scheduled run. So, if the status in the settings shows it ran, you can use this shortcode to display what was actually sent and to whom.
    ```

### Can I unsubscribe from the email that IÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’m sent?

Heck, no. ThatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s the beauty of this plugin.

### Can I just send the email to spam instead?

I wouldnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t do that. The email comes from the siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’
s account Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – marking it as spam may also lead to all other site emails
going the same way, including password resets and important security information.

Look, if it means that much to you, maybe look to sorting out your drafts, yes?

### How can I prevent the plugin from being deactivated?

…said no-one. But seriously, you want to remove the temptation, right?

Crack open your siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s `wp-config.php` and add the following line
of code…

    ```
    define( 'DO_NOT_DISABLE_MY_DRAFT_REMINDER', true );
    ```

And the deed is done Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – you can no longer disable the plugin (cue 
diabolical laughter).

### Do you support this plugin on forks of WordPress?

No. It was developed for WordPress and so forks remain unsupported. I have no intention
of developing and testing this on any other version.
