PublishPress Checklists Pro

PublishPress Checklists Pro is a WordPress plugin designed for editorial teams that need to ensure the quality and consistency of their content before publishing. With this tool, administrators can define specific tasks that authors must complete before a post goes live. Each task can be set as recommended or mandatory, and as writers complete each requirement, the red indicator automatically turns green, offering a clear and motivating visual experience.

The plugin allows you to set custom rules for each content type. For example, you can require a minimum or maximum number of words in the article body, control the title length, require a featured image with specific height and width dimensions, verify that all images have ALT text, and check that internal and external links are valid. You can also impose limits on the number of tags, categories, and custom taxonomy terms, as well as control the characters of the permalink and excerpt.

One of the most powerful features of the Pro version is role-based approval: you can require that a user with a specific role approve the content before it is published. Additionally, it includes accessibility tasks, such as verifying that headings follow a correct hierarchical order (H1, H2, H3) or that tables have header rows. The plugin also offers support for WooCommerce, allowing you to create checklists for products with more than 20 possible requirements, such as regular price, sale price, SKU, categories, tags, product images, and inventory options.

PublishPress Checklists Pro integrates with popular SEO tools like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO, allowing you to require that posts pass SEO checks before going live. It is also compatible with ACF custom fields and the Gutenberg pre-publish panel, showing pending tasks just before clicking the publish button. Administrators can create different checklists for each content type and exclude certain publication statuses if desired.

In short, PublishPress Checklists Pro is the ideal solution for agencies, digital media, and editorial teams looking to maintain high quality standards, reduce human errors, and ensure that every publication meets the guidelines established by the team.
