Easy & Effective
We designed IssueM to be easy to use. The way it works is simple:
Upon activation, IssueM creates a new post type in your WordPress site called Articles. You simply create your articles and assigned them to an issue. Once your issue is ready to go live, just change your issue to Live status. The last issue created automatically becomes the current issue and is immediately displayed on your Current Issue page. All your published issues remain available on your Past Issues page and are displayed beautifully by their cover images.

“We have a person on staff and part of what he does is going through the very old articles. He’s making sure each article from every issue is available individually and responsive on our website and apps. It’s a huge amount of work, but every time we publish an old or new article, they can be indexed by Google and become searchable.
