Overview
Excerpt Check prompts authors to add an excerpt before publishing or scheduling a post. When no excerpt is present, a modal appears giving the author the choice to add one or proceed without it. This works seamlessly in both the Classic Editor and the Block Editor (Gutenberg).
Features:
- Intercepts publish and schedule actions when no excerpt is present
- Full support for the Classic Editor and the Block Editor (Gutenberg)
- Modal prompt that surfaces before the post is saved
- Two configurable modes: Remind (allow publishing anyway) or Require (must add an excerpt)
- Settings integrated into the existing Settings > Writing page
- Works with any post type that has excerpt support enabled
- Lightweight with zero impact on front-end performance
