DailyBrief

DailyBrief is designed to solve two fundamental problems many new WordPress users find themselves with; first what to send people subscribing to a email newsletter and second when they first begin to publish on the blockchain; The dreaded SPAM label. Producing too many posts daily on steem hits a cultural bias many anti-abuse teams adhere to "More than 4 posts a day is always SPAM". DailyBrief compiles a summary of all posts made during a particular day complete with featured images, meta information, and excerpts. It also creates a table of contents, inserts headers and footers with optional macros that auto-fill in article counts, tags and categories used in the processed articles.

Important: The plugin is primarily intended to be used alongside Exxp the WordPress to Hive integration solution. If you want to publish your daily briefs to steem you need to install Exxp first. Note: This plugin requires PHP 5.6 or higher to be activated. Note: Automated tests for PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7,3, 7.4 are made on each commit.
