Required Tags or Categories

With the PublishPress Checklists plugin, you can require that all your posts have specific terms such as Tags or Categories. If a post is missing the correct term, you can choose to show a warning, or prevent the post from being published.

  • Go to the “Categories” or “Tags” tab. The image below shows the Required Categories options.
  • You can choose from “Disabled, Recommended, or Required” options.
  • You can enter choices for which terms are required.
