1. Upload Topic Manager folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

    topics_frontend_table();
}  ?>` 
in a custom page template, most likely a copy of page.php



== Description ==
This plugin creates an area for site admins to jot down post ideas or assign post topics to content authors. Additionally, authors can be given due dates and suggested post types (article, video, etc). 

Admins can also e-mail authors directly through the interface using an extension of the wp_mail() function.
