PublishPress Checklists Pro

Content teams often lose time to missing tags, absent featured images, short posts or broken link requirements that an editor only catches after the fact. PublishPress Checklists Pro moves those checks to the moment of writing. You define the tasks, mark each one as required or recommended, and set limits such as minimum and maximum word counts or tag numbers. Checklists can cover posts, pages and WooCommerce products.

Writers see the checklist beside the editor, and items change from red to green as they are completed. If requirements remain open, the plugin tells the author what is left before publishing. You can add rules for custom taxonomies, internal and external links and image ALT text, require checks from Yoast SEO, Rank Math SEO or All in One SEO, and use OpenAI to scan tone, spelling and grammar.

Features

• Customizable checklists: Build checklists for posts, pages and WooCommerce products so each content type has its own set of standards to meet before it can be published.
• Red to green task tracking: The checklist sits next to the content editor and items switch from red to green as authors finish each task, which makes progress easy to see.
• Required or recommended items: Mark each task as required or recommended, and set minimum and maximum values such as word count, number of tags, and character limits for titles and excerpts.
• OpenAI content checks: Use OpenAI to scan content for suitable tone, spelling accuracy and grammar correctness before a post is published.
• SEO plugin validation: Require posts to pass checks from Yoast SEO, Rank Math SEO or All in One SEO as part of your publishing checklist.
• WooCommerce product criteria: Set over 20 different required criteria for WooCommerce products, so store listings meet your quality standards before they go live.
• Custom rules for links and images: Add your own rules covering custom taxonomies, internal and external links, and image requirements like ALT text, plus exact featured image dimensions and image limits.
• Role-based approvals: Require approval from users in specific roles before a post is published, which adds an extra layer of oversight to your editorial workflow.
