<h3>Key Features of Pre-Publish Checklist:</h3>
<p>The Pre-Publish Checklist is a useful plugin that lets you monitor whether the posts, pages and custom post types on your website are complete.</p>
<p>With this plugin you can –</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>Manage a checklist for your pages, posts, custom post types, etc.</code> – The plugin fetches all of them in the settings and you can select where you wish to add the checklist.</p>

<p><code>Overview the progress of posts and pages</code> – You no longer need to open the post or page editor to see whether a checklist is completed. We have added a column that can be seen alongside the list of posts and pages that will tell you whether a checklist is completed, how many items left or if a checklist isn’t added for a particular post type.</p>

Pre-Publish Checklist

I was just recording a screencast for a new team member, mentioning the items that needed to be done on a post before it could be published. Then I searched to see if a plugin could help us out by setting a task list of what we needed to do. This plugin exactly fills that role and handles it all very nicely! Well done!

Super handy little plugin! Just what I needed.

... for some of my client's sites. You explain and show things to some of them a million times, and they still don't do it. Of course they can just check off the list items, but hey, this is better than nothing. 

Good idea, and good job, this plugin works perfectly this far... (in 10 minutes of use).

Absolutely necessary...

This plugin is a must have for anyone who is regularly involved in posting content on their WordPress website. It can reduce the chances of missing essentials steps that are required to publish a post perfectly. 

A great idea, executed by a great team 

Must have plugin for serious content managers

Oh quick tip, pair this with another of their useful free plugins: Unlist Posts & Pages

Wow, what a useful plugin to have on your website to make sure nothing gets skipped. 

But more than that, the flexibility to add your own process via a user-friendly interface. 

Thanks for making this. 

So useful


This plugin has helped me ensure I don't miss any steps I need to complete before publishing. Without it I am certain that I would forget some basic steps before hitting publish.



Also, when I had an issue with the plugin, support quickly implemented and released a fix.
