This plugin helps enforcing a set of conditions before posts can be published. You can basically integrate your pre-publish checklist into WordPress itself! The following conditions are currently supported:
<ul>
<li>The post is not ‘Uncategorized’</li>
<li>The post has at least one tag</li>
</ul>
If you need more conditions or have other suggestions for improvement, let me know! The best place to do so is via an issue on <a href="https://github.com/maurobringolf/publishing-conditions" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.
<h3>Usage</h3>
If a post does not meet your publishing conditions and you try to publish anyway, it will be set to draft instead. You can customize your publishing conditions under Settings->Writing. That is all there is to it!

Publishing Conditions

Prevent yourself from publishing unfinished posts.
