Progress Planner

Descripción

But staying on top of maintenance and optimization takes time and effort. Where do you even start?

Progress Planner makes website upkeep easy. Built by the founders of Yoast, this plugin helps you keep your site optimized with clear, actionable recommendations, a smart to-do list and guided challenges that help you improve your site step by step. No more guesswork — just the right tasks at the right time.

I’ve been developing websites for the past 14 years, and every time, I follow my own checklist for setting up WordPress and making the essential changes before going live.This plugin simplifies that process for developers – with rewards!It makes your tasks easier and adds a touch of fun to your workflow.

This great-looking plugin just clicks for me: it gamifies the experience of writing blog posts and keeping my site updated, but it does it in a friendly, beautiful, and low-key way. I have an aversion to apps that manipulate me (looking at you, Duolingo), and Progress Planner is not that: It’s a gentle nudge rather than a manipulation. It’s a wonderful start to a plugin I’m going to keep installed on my sites moving forward. Give it a try and you’ll see what I mean!

1.2.0

In this release we’ve added an integration with the Yoast SEO plugin, so you’ll now see personalized suggestions based on your current SEO configuration.

Added these recommendations from Ravi:

Under the hood:
* Changed how the titles and descriptions of one_time and repetitive tasks are defined to be compatible with WP 6.8.

1.1.1

Bugs we fixed:

  • Fixed unnecessary display of the upgrade popover.
  • Fixed saving license key from ‘Subscribe to weekly’ emails popover.
  • Reduced number of database queries when checking for user activity scores.
  • Fixed database queries when getting activities by type.

Mejoras:

  • Simplified the Dashboard widget.
  • Styling improvements.
  • Improved some translation strings.
  • Improved suggestions for writing new posts.
  • UI improvements in the plugin settings page.
  • TODO tasks can now award 1 point per week, counting toward the monthly badges.

Under the hood:

  • Completely refactored the TODOs system.
  • Refactored the suggested-tasks system.
  • Refactored our AJAX calls.
  • Performance & caching improvements.
  • Refactored popovers implementation.
  • Added implementation to migrate plugin data on updates.
  • Improved debugging suite.
  • Added new hooks for integration with 3rd-party plugins.
  • Added a data collector system for tasks providers.
  • Refactored the way tasks are saved in the database for consistency.
  • Improved one_time and repetitive task type abstractions.
  • Refactored the celebrations system.

1.1.0

In this release, we’ve added more recommendations from Ravi on how to improve your site. We’ve also made these recommendations more visible on your WordPress
settings pages, by showing on settings pages exactly which things we think you should change. Also, if you’re just now starting to use Progress Planner,
we’ve made the onboarding experience a lot more fun: we show you immediately which of Ravi’s recommended tasks you’ve already completed and we give
you points for those!

Added these recommendations from Ravi:

Bugs we fixed:

  • If you had WP_DEBUG set to false, the plugin would still tell you to disable WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY. We think Ravi was a bit overzealous in his recommendation, so we’ve fixed that.

Under the hood:

  • We’ve added our set of debug tools straight into the plugin. If you define PRPL_DEBUG as true in your wp-config.php file, you’ll get a PRPL Debug admin bar menu item.
  • Improved suggested tasks completion conditions so they don’t trigger at the wrong moment.

1.0.4

Mejoras:

  • We’ve moved Ravi’s recommendations to the top left of your Progress Planner dashboard. They’re the most important thing on there, so we wanted to give it prime placement.
  • We changed «Update post» to «Review post» / «Review page» and wrote better instructions for reviewing old posts and pages. These tasks now prioritize the most important pages, like your About page, Privacy policy, Contact page and FAQ page.
  • Added an option to redirect users to the Progress Planner dashboard after login. The WordPress dashboard isn’t particularly useful in our eyes, this mind entice you to action more.
  • Added a plugin-deactivation feedback form (we tell you, because you’ll never see it, right? 🙂 ).
  • Removed the celebration for «Perform all updates» if it was done by WordPress’s automatic update. We all love confetti, but when it comes all the time without you doing anything, it loses its value, right? Hence this fix.

We’ve added the following Recommendations from Ravi:

Under the hood:

  • Improvements to the REST-API endpoint for getting stats.
  • Removed admin notices on the Progress Planner page.

1.0.3

Fixed:

  • Detection of page-types in the settings page.
  • Properly resetting caches for monthly badges.

Mejoras:

  • Added a new «Challenges» widget to the dashboard.

1.0.2

Fixed:

  • Remove duplicated weekly suggested tasks.
  • The REST API endpoint for getting stats was broken, causing the weekly emails not to work.
  • Scrollable monthly badges widget was the wrong height on page load.
  • 2026 monthly badges were showing up and shouldn’t (yet).

Mejoras:

  • Refocus the «add new task» input after a to-do item is added.

1.0.1

Fixed:

  • Share buttons not working on localhost sites.
  • Non-translatable names for monthly badges.
  • Graphs appearance.
  • Confetti being triggered on every page load.
  • Assets versioning.
  • Duplicate update-core tasks.
  • Information icon for ‘Create a long post’ task was showing text of ‘create a short post’ task.
  • Numerous other minor bugfixes.

Mejoras:

  • Improved the onboarding experience.
  • Internal refacture of local tasks.
  • Privacy policy improvements.
  • Removed «product» and «blog» page-types from the settings page.
  • Auto-detecting page-types in the settings page.

1.0.0

0.9.5

Mejoras:

0.9.4

Mejoras:

Fixed:

  • Completing the last badge wouldn’t ever work, fixed.
  • Fixed some bugs around detecting badges being «had».
  • Replaced links to the site with shortlinks, so we can change them as needed without doing a release.

0.9.3

Seguridad:

0.9.2

Seguridad:

0.9.1

Mejoras:

  • Añadido un enlace de acción al panel de control a los enlaces de acción del plugin en la página de plugins.
