ContentCortex \u2013 Outdated Content Alerts<\/strong> helps editorial and content teams find published posts, pages, and custom post types that have not been updated within a defined cadence (e.g., 90 days, 180 days, or a custom duration).<\/p>\n\n

Features include:\n* Per-Post-Type Day Limits<\/strong>: Configure independent freshness targets for Posts, Pages, and any registered public custom post type.\n* Outdated Content Report Table<\/strong>: Filter by post type and author, search by title, and sort by staleness.\n* Mark as Reviewed<\/strong>: Reset the outdated clock for an article without updating post_modified_gmt<\/code> or triggering sitemap\/SEO changes.\n* Exclusions<\/strong>: Exclude specific articles or entire categories\/tags from ever appearing in reports.\n* Automated Email Digests<\/strong>: Send weekly, monthly, or quarterly HTML summaries to team members with customizable branding, logos, and placeholders.\n* Theme Overrides<\/strong>: Developers can completely customize email markup via theme templates ({theme}\/contentcortex\/email\/digest.php<\/code>).\n* CSV Export<\/strong>: Export filtered content reports with built-in CSV formula injection protection.\n* Dashboard Widget & Menu Badge<\/strong>: Instantly see how many items need review from your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the contentcortex<\/code> directory to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Navigate to Outdated Content > Settings<\/strong> to configure enabled post types, day limits, and email digest schedules.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does \"Mark as reviewed\" modify my post modified date?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. Marking an item as reviewed updates a private meta timestamp (_ocap_last_reviewed<\/code>). It does not modify post_modified_gmt<\/code>, ensuring sitemaps and search engine update signals remain clean.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How does the email digest schedule work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Digests are scheduled via WordPress WP-Cron for your preferred day, time, and recurrence (weekly, monthly, or quarterly). For low-traffic sites, configuring a system-level cron job is recommended.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I customize the email template?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes! You can customize colors, headers, intros, footers, and logos directly in the admin settings with a real-time live preview. Additionally, developers can copy templates\/email\/digest.php<\/code> to {theme}\/contentcortex\/email\/digest.php<\/code> to customize the HTML.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
