PublishPress Checklists


Publishing Checklists for Your Content

PublishPress Checklists icon

When you use PublishPress Checklists, you can define tasks that authors must complete before content is published. Tasks can either be recommended or required. As writers complete each item, the red text automatically turns to green.

For example, you can make sure your posts have a minimum or maximum number of words. Or you can ensure that all your posts have a featured image.

The main features of PublishPress Checklists


Create your own checklists

Next to every post and page, writers see a checklist box, showing the tasks they need to complete. As writers complete each item, the red text automatically turns to green when it is complete.

Configure your requirements

Each item on the checklist can be configured to meet your site’s needs. You can decide whether items are recommended, required or ignored. You can also set maximum and minimum values.

Feedback before publishing

If the writers don’t complete all the requirements, PublishPress Checklists will show them a message explaining what they need to do.

OpenAI support

PublishPress Checklists integrates with OpenAI. You can use OpenAI technology to scan your posts and check for the right tone, good spelling, or correct grammar.

WooCommerce Products Checklist

This feature in Checklists Pro allows you to create requirements for WooCommerce products. You can set over 20 requirements that must be met before a product is published.

Custom checklist rules

In addition to the default rules, PublishPress Checklists allows you to create your own rules. Click “Add custom item” to create as many rules as you want.
