Create reusable editorial checklist templates, assign different checklists to different post types, and give authors a clear view of what is complete and what still needs attention before publishing. No complex workflow builder. No front-end output. No hard publish blocking. Just a focused editorial checklist workflow that helps your team publish with more consistency and fewer missed steps. ### Make your publishing process repeatable Turn your editorial standards into reusable checklists that appear directly where your team writes and edits content. * Create reusable checklist templates. * Mark checklist items as **Required** or **Optional**. * Add helper text and optional reference links to individual items. * Assign different checklist templates to different post types. * Track checklist progress separately for every post or page. * Duplicate existing templates to create new workflows faster. Required items determine whether a post is shown as **Ready** or **Incomplete**, while optional items can provide additional guidance without affecting readiness. ### Automate common content checks Templates can include five lightweight automatic requirements alongside manual checklist items: * **Featured image present**. * **Excerpt present**. * **Configurable minimum word count**. * **Category or tag present**. * **Image alternative-text coverage** for featured and content images. Automatic requirements update live in the block-editor sidebar and count toward the same readiness status, post-list details, filters, recalculation tools, and dashboard totals. Existing templates remain unchanged until an editor enables the checks. Rules that a mapped post type cannot support are ignored rather than treated as failed. Developers can also register site-specific automatic requirements through the documented PHP and JavaScript rule API. Custom rules receive the same template enablement, authoritative server evaluation, editor feedback, readiness aggregation, and cache invalidation behavior as the built-in checks. ### See what is ready to publish Editorial Workflow Manager gives authors and editors clear readiness feedback across the WordPress admin. * **Editorial Checklist sidebar** inside the block editor. * **Ready / Incomplete status** with required-item progress. * **Post Status panel** summary while editing. * **Pre-publish warning** when required items are still incomplete. * **Readiness column** in WordPress post lists for mapped post types. * **Readiness filters** for Ready, Incomplete, and Not calculated content. * **Missing required-item details** directly in post lists. * **Bulk and all-post readiness recalculation** for mapped post types. * **Editorial Readiness dashboard summary** for managers. The pre-publish warning is intentionally **non-blocking**. Your team stays informed without the plugin taking control of the WordPress publishing process. ### Get started quickly New installations include a guided setup experience designed to get teams working quickly. * **Quickstart wizard** for choosing post types and assigning checklist templates. * **One-time editor tour** introducing the checklist sidebar and readiness system. * **Curated starter templates** you can use as-is or customize: - Blog SEO - News Fact-Check - Accessibility Review - Client Approval You can edit, duplicate, and adapt these templates to match your own publishing standards. ### Built for real editorial workflows Use Editorial Workflow Manager for: * **Blogs and content teams** — SEO review steps, featured images, categories, links, fact-checking, and publishing standards. * **News and editorial sites** — source confirmation, fact-checking, legal review steps, and editor sign-off requirements. * **Agencies** — client review steps, accessibility checks, brand requirements, and delivery standards. * **Multi-author sites** — give every contributor the same clear publishing process. * **Custom post types** — assign the appropriate checklist to each supported content type. ### Key features * **Gutenberg-native workflow** — the checklist lives directly inside the WordPress block editor. * **Reusable checklist templates** — create a repeatable process once and use it across content. * **Required and Optional items** — distinguish publishing requirements from helpful guidance. * **Automatic requirements** — check featured images, excerpts, word count, category/ tag presence, and image alternative text without manual confirmation. * **Developer rule API** — add code-defined automatic requirements from a separate plugin, with optional live Gutenberg evaluation. * **Helper text and reference links** — give authors context without leaving the checklist. * **Checklist template duplication** — clone and customize existing workflows. * **Per-post checklist progress** — each post or page maintains its own completion state. * **Readiness tracking** — see Ready or Incomplete status throughout the editor and post list. * **Non-blocking pre-publish guidance** — warn authors about missing required items without preventing publication. * **Post-type mapping** — use different checklists for different types of content. * **Starter templates** — begin with practical workflows for blogging, fact-checking, accessibility, and client review. * **Quickstart onboarding** — configure the plugin and open the editor with less setup friction. * **Accessible workflows** — keyboard-friendly controls, visible focus states, contextual labels, and live status announcements. * **Backward-compatible upgrades** — existing checklist data and legacy templates remain supported. ### Lightweight by design Editorial Workflow Manager focuses on one job: helping WordPress teams follow a consistent editorial checklist before publishing. It does **not** add content to your site’s front end, and it does not try to replace WordPress with a complex project-management or enterprise workflow system. Use it when you want a clear, practical publishing process directly inside Gutenberg. ### Getting started 1. Activate the plugin and complete the **Quickstart** wizard. 2. Choose the post types where editorial checklists should appear. 3. Confirm the starter template mappings, then open the editor. 4. Follow the one-time sidebar tour in the **block editor**. 5. Complete checklist items and watch the readiness/progress summary update. 6. Adjust mappings later in **Settings Editorial Workflow** or edit templates in ** Checklist Templates**. ## Fota wobrazowki [⌊Editorial Checklist sidebar in the block editor (Gutenberg) with required progress.⌉⌊ Editorial Checklist sidebar in the block editor (Gutenberg) with required progress .⌉[ Editorial Checklist sidebar in the block editor (Gutenberg) with required progress.

Upload the `editorial-workflow-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via **Plugins Add New**. 2. Activate the plugin in wp-admin. 3. On activation, default checklist templates are created. 4. On fresh installs, a Quickstart wizard opens to help you assign starter templates and launch the editor tour. ## HSP ### What does the Quickstart wizard do? On fresh installs, the plugin can guide an administrator through choosing post types, assigning starter templates, and opening a post editor screen with the checklist sidebar highlighted. ### Can I dismiss the quickstart or editor tour? Yes. Dismissal is stored per user, so one admin can skip onboarding without affecting another admin’s setup flow. ### Does the plugin block publishing when required items are missing? No. The pre-publish warning is **non-blocking**. ### Does this work with Classic Editor? No. The checklist UI is built for **Gutenberg / the block editor** only. ### Can I use different checklists per post type? Yes. Assign templates in **Settings Editorial Workflow**. ### Do optional items affect readiness? No. Readiness is based on **REQUIRED** items only. ### How do automatic requirements affect readiness? Each enabled and applicable automatic requirement counts as a required item. It updates from the current post content and settings, cannot be checked manually, and appears in the same readiness summaries and missing-item details as manual requirements. Existing templates do not enable these rules automatically. The image alternative-text rule treats empty alternative text and unavailable attachment records as incomplete, and identifies the featured image or content-image position that needs attention. Leave that rule disabled on templates where intentionally decorative images with empty alternative text are common. ### Can developers add custom automatic requirements? Yes. Version 1.2.0 provides a documented PHP registration API and optional JavaScript evaluator contract. Registered rules can be enabled per checklist template and participate in the same readiness surfaces as built-in rules. See `docs/rule-registration-api. md` and the bundled standalone sample extension. ### What happens to older templates/checklist data? Legacy templates and label-based checked state remain supported. Templates are now stored in an upgraded **v2** format with UUID-based item IDs for more stable matching. When a legacy template is edited and saved in the new editor, it is upgraded to v2 automatically. A compatibility meta mirror is still maintained for legacy support. ### Can I duplicate checklist templates? Yes. Use the **Duplicate** row action on the Checklist Templates screen to create an editable copy. ## Pohódnoćenja Za tutón tykač pohódnoćenja njejsu. ## Sobuskutkowarjo a wuwiwarjo „Editorial Workflow Manager“ je softwara wotewrjeneho žórła.
