Excerpt Check prompts authors to add an excerpt before publishing or scheduling a post. When no excerpt is present, a modal appears giving the author the choice to add one or proceed without it. This works seamlessly in both the Classic Editor and the Block Editor (Gutenberg).
Features:
<ul>
<li>Intercepts publish and schedule actions when no excerpt is present</li>
<li>Full support for the Classic Editor and the Block Editor (Gutenberg)</li>
<li>Modal prompt that surfaces before the post is saved</li>
<li>Two configurable modes: Remind (allow publishing anyway) or Require (must add an excerpt)</li>
<li>Settings integrated into the existing Settings > Writing page</li>
<li>Works with any post type that has excerpt support enabled</li>
<li>Lightweight with zero impact on front-end performance</li>
</ul>
Why use excerpts?
WordPress can auto-generate excerpts by truncating post content, but the results are often incomplete sentences, leftover shortcodes, or broken HTML. Custom excerpts give you full control over how your posts appear in archive pages, search results, RSS feeds, and SEO meta descriptions.
Use Cases:
<ul>
<li>Content teams that enforce editorial standards requiring excerpts on all posts</li>
<li>SEO-focused publishers who rely on custom excerpts for meta descriptions</li>
<li>Multi-author blogs where editors want to ensure consistent content quality</li>
<li>Any site where auto-generated excerpts are not desirable</li>
</ul>

Gridable is a witty solution for WordPress lovers who want to create flexible and reliable grids in the Classic Editor. Being smoothly integrated into the WordPress Classic Editor interface, our plugin becomes a suitable choice for everyone: from people with a technical background to those who are non-techy. It simplifies the entire process of building an extensive range of grids that fit perfectly into various environments.
Gridable is intended for Classic Editor and TinyMCE workflows. It does not add a block editor interface.
Gridable allows you to create an adaptable and fully responsive grid in no time. Thanks to options such as row spacing top and bottom, row gutter and row background color everything comes in the right place without effort. Imagine playing around with bold approaches for different sections of your website through a grid system that puts convenience on top of the digital experience.
It has never been easier to create a dynamic grid with such ease and creative freedom.
<h3>Complete control</h3>
You have a particular set of options that allow you to adjust the grid content editor to your unique brand’s voice and personality. Mix and match colors, spacings, content with images, and make them yours.
<h3>No coding required</h3>
Gridable is accessible for everyone who handles WordPress. Being so naturally integrated into the platform, every action is a very natural behavior and doesn’t require any special skills.
<h3>Continuous improvement</h3>
We invest a lot of time and energy into developing Gridable in a way that makes sense and brings real value to its users so that people make the most out of it.

I really appreciate the minimal code it adds to the page. I usually write something similar to this for my client projects, but this is much nicer in several respects.

However:

	It's impossible to insert the cursor after a row if the row is the last thing in the content.
	You can't rearrange rows or cut and paste.
	The Add Row button does not work in the Text editor.
	Front-end JS file is mostly a giant comment. Minified version should be used, and possibly the dependency on jQuery removed for this tiny little function.


Nicely minimalistic, but buggy

It works and creates columns, however, it has too many bugs, in it disables other functionality in the custom editor and paste deletes the whole paragraph not just the highlighted word.

Good idea too many bugs

Gridable adds row and column layout controls to the WordPress Classic Editor.
