GovernDocs is a document library plugin for WordPress.
For organisations, governments & councils that need document governance and a clearer way to manage & publish important records.
Dedicated content types for policies, meeting documents and reports. These documents are stored in a structured way with dedicated fields for files, dates, versions, status information and other governance-related details. You can then display each document on your website using shortcodes.
GovernDocs is suitable for councils, governments, associations, clubs, schools, law firms, committees, non-profits and other organisations that need a simple way to manage official documents in WordPress.
Upgrade to the PRO version to get full audit logs, custom statuses, extra styling of documents on the frontend, add additional files and add external links to documents.

Shortcode support GovernDocs includes shortcode output so you can place document records into pages, posts, templates or any area that accepts shortcodes.
Examples of the shortcodes:
[governdocs type="policy" id="123"] [governdocs type="meeting" id="123"] [governdocs type="report" id="123"]
[governdocs type="policy" id="123" show_icon="1" button="1" display="card" desc_location="below_title" class="custom-policy-card" fields="ext,size,type,status,version,effective_date,approval_date,review_date,last_reviewed_date,owner,approving_authority,policy_id" order="ext,size,type,status,version,effective_date,approval_date,review_date,last_reviewed_date,owner,approving_authority,policy_id" ]
GovernDocs PRO can also restrict shortcode output for selected roles:
[governdocs type="policy" id="123" blocked_roles="subscriber,customer" blocked_button_text="Request Access" blocked_button_url="https://example.com/request-access" blocked_button_new_tab="1" blocked_button_class="button button-primary" blocked_description="This document is not available for your account type."]
You can also use guest, logged_out, or not_logged_in inside blocked_roles to show the fallback output to visitors who are not signed in.
If you want to invert the logic, use allowed_roles instead. When allowed_roles is set, only those roles will see the document and everyone else will see the fallback output.
Who it is for GovernDocs is built for websites that need more structure than a normal blog or page setup, especially where documents need to be maintained over time.
Examples include:
Local government and council websites
Associations and member organisations
Sporting clubs and community groups
Schools and education providers
Compliance-focused business websites
Boards and committees
