Companion plugin for the [Publishers theme](https://wordpress.org/themes/publishers/).

Includes: shortcodes, profile and post editor enhancements, membership control, 
and other features for improved editing and management of multi-author teams.

_Note: There are some cool features here that will work in other themes too, but
they’ve been designed specially for the Publishers theme._

**Features:**

 * Add SEO, social media, and schema tags
 * If you would like to enable the dark mode feature, simply add a new menu item
   to any of your menus (and give it the class _lights_ and `#` for the URL)
 * You can also add the dark/light mode switcher as a button anywhere you like and
   style it with `<span class="lights"><a href="#" class="button black">Lights</
   a></span>`
 * Use the shortcode `[non-member]...[/non-member]` to show content to logged-out
   visitors only
 * Use the shortcode `[member]...[/member]` to show content to logged-in members
   only
 * Use the shortcode `[access capability="read"]...[/access]` to show content to
   users with [specific capabilities](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/)
 * Use the shortcode `[share]` to add share buttons to posts
 * You’ll find new optional profile fields: Public Email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
   Pinterest, YouTube, and Twitch
 * Add a body class for the logged-in user role
 * Improved post editor tools/buttons
 * Add subtitles/sub-headers to posts
 * Feature posts on homepage
 * Show a link to editor notes and guidelines in the post editor
 * Uploaded images automatically have titles and alts generated
 * Stop contributors from being able to delete files
 * Receive an email for guest post submissions, and guests receive a follow-up email
   based on whether you published or deleted their submission
 * Uncluttered admin and post editor screens for authors
 * The /author/ slug in URLs is rewritten to /writer/
 * New users are automatically logged in when they register
 * Improved images handling: unnecessary files sizes aren’t generated, thumbnails
   are generated for RSS feeds
 * Users are sortable by registration date
 * Records user IPs to assist with anti-spam measures and security whitelisting
 * More to come…
