Subject: Feedback & Improvement Suggestion for the Plugin

Hi Patrick,

First of all, I want to thank you for the great work on the plugin. It’s really helping me push content quickly from Notion to WordPress, and I appreciate its efficiency. However, I’ve noticed a few limitations that significantly affect its potential, and I wanted to share my thoughts to help improve the plugin.

Key Issue: Shortcode-Based Rendering

Right now, the plugin relies on shortcodes to display content, but this approach comes with several drawbacks:

1?? SEO Tools Don’t Work Properly – Since the content is not directly in the WordPress editor, SEO plugins (like RankMath or Yoast) can’t analyze it, making SEO optimization much harder.

2?? Internal Linking & Automation Issues – Automatic internal linking tools (such as LinkJuicer) don’t work, which severely limits content efficiency and discoverability.

3?? Editing Flexibility & WordPress Standards – Relying on shortcodes makes it harder to integrate with Gutenberg blocks, which are the standard for modern WordPress content editing.Suggested Improvement: Gutenberg Block Support

To make the plugin truly powerful and seamless, it would be ideal if it allowed importing content directly into native WordPress blocks instead of relying on shortcodes. This would:

? Make SEO tools fully operational by having the content directly in the editor.
? Enable automatic internal linking with tools like LinkJuicer.
? Improve compatibility with other WordPress features and increase flexibility.My Current Workaround

Since I still find the plugin very useful for pushing content, here’s how I work around the issue:

• I use the plugin to import and display content quickly.
• Once an article reaches maturity in my Notion database (i.e., when I consider it final and won’t revise it anymore), I manually convert it into a Gutenberg post by copy-pasting the content and removing the shortcode.
• I then delete the Notion version to keep my database clean.

This method works, but it’s far from optimal, and I believe the plugin could be much more powerful with native block support.

Would you consider adding an option for Gutenberg block integration in future updates? I think it would make a huge difference in usability and adoption.

Again, I really appreciate the work you’ve done on this plugin, and I hope this feedback helps!

Best regards,
Lilly

Subject: Improvements for Managing New Entries and Tracking Shortcodes in the Extension

Hi Patrick,

I wanted to share some feedback regarding how new entries are displayed in the database under WordPress via the extension.

1?? Refreshing and Sorting New Entries

Currently, when a new entry is added, it only appears after a full content refresh. However, the order of these entries seems random, making organization difficult.

?? Suggestion:

• Capture the creation date of each entry as soon as it appears in the table.
• Allow sorting by creation date so that the most recent entries are displayed first.
• This would make it easier to manage large numbers of pages and prevent scattered display issues.

2?? Tracking Shortcode Usage

I also noticed that auto-updates are not working, but this isn’t a major issue for me. However, having a small indicator to confirm that a shortcode has been copied and used would be very helpful.

?? Suggestion:

• Add a checkbox to mark a shortcode as “processed” or “used.”
• Implement a status system with multiple options (e.g., “To Process,” “Used,” “To Review”) to better organize shortcode tracking.
• This would enable intelligent filtering, allowing users to focus only on shortcodes that still need to be handled.

These improvements would greatly enhance content management, especially for databases with hundreds of pages.

Let me know your thoughts on this and whether it would be feasible!

Best,
Lily From WPDistrib
