Description
This plugin lets users suggest a post for review. For example, if you have a help document that hasn’t been updated in
a while and is now out of date, a user can let you know that you need to update it without much work on their part.
- Can be configured so that when a post is marked as needing review, an email is sent to the author.
- Weekly, an email listing all of the review suggestions will be sent to a list of email addresses.
- Can be configured to allow guests to mark items for review.
- Can also be configured to put the last update date to the end of each post.
- Exclude the suggest review button by IDs of pages, posts
- There is a page in the dashboard that lists all of the content that has been flagged for review (that the current user can access)
- Can be used with the SecurImage plugin to provide a captcha solution for guest users
Neither the mark for review button or last update date will appear on list of post pages or search results.

Screenshots
Example of a post that has been flagged for review. Also shows the 'last updated' option. 
If content hasn't been marked for review, the user sees this button. 
When the button is clicked, it changes to a text box with submit and cancel buttons. 
When editing a post, if it has been suggested for review, this meta box will appear. The checkbox is automatically checked; the assumption is that you are editing the content to resolve a review suggestion. Also note the radio button that allows you to exclude a post while you are editing, rather than entering them directly into the admin options.

FAQ
- Why’d you make this?
-
I was looking into using WordPress for documentation within our department and knew it would be handy to have a
mechanism for users to let us know when something was old or confusing. Sure, they could just leave a comment,
but I wanted something that would also limit the amount of feedback from one article. Also, I’d never written a
plugin and really had no knowledge of WordPress, so it seemed like a good way to learn. - Can it be translated?
-
If you would like to see Suggest Review in another language, you can use the .pot file included with the plugin to
create a translation into any language. Email me the completed .po file and I’ll include it in future releases. - Captchas?
-
I always assumed that the standard use case would require logins, but I always have had the option of allowing
guest users to give feedback. In the event you are getting spam from using an open form like this, you would most
likely want a captcha solution to minimize it. For my ease of coding, I integrated the SecurImage plugin when using the guest form.
