PublishPress Checklists Pro

PublishPress Checklists Pro is a WordPress plugin that adds pre-publish checklists to your content. You can set tasks as recommended, required, or ignored, and writers see a checklist box next to each post or page that turns from red to green as items are completed. If requirements are not met, the plugin shows a message explaining what still needs to be done.

Key Features

• Custom checklists – Writers see a checklist box next to every post and page showing the tasks they need to complete.
• Configurable requirements – Each checklist item can be set as recommended, required, or ignored, with maximum and minimum values where relevant.
• Pre-publish feedback – If writers have not completed all requirements, the plugin displays a message explaining what they need to do.
• OpenAI support – The plugin integrates with OpenAI so you can scan posts for tone, spelling, and grammar.
• WooCommerce product checklists – In Checklists Pro you can create requirements for WooCommerce products, with over 20 requirements available before a product is published.
• Custom checklist rules – Beyond the default rules, you can add your own custom items to create as many rules as you want.
• Featured image requirement – You can require that posts have a featured image before they can be published.
• Role-based approval – You can require that posts are approved by a user in a specific role.

Who Is It For

This plugin is for WordPress site owners, editors, and content teams who want to enforce consistent quality standards before posts, pages, or WooCommerce products go live. It suits organizations that need writers to meet specific requirements, such as word counts, images, or approval by a particular role.
