## Description##

Publishing Checklist is a developer tool for adding pre-flight editorial checklists to WordPress posts. Each time a user saves a post, Publishing Checklist validates that post type's list of tasks to make sure the content is ready for release. Tasks are validated with callbacks you supply when registering tasks.

## Installation  ##

It's a plugin! Install it like any other. 

Once you've done so, you'll need to register the checklist items and callbacks for your site. Here's a simple example that checks for a featured image.

```php
add_action( 'publishing_checklist_init', function() {
	$args = array(
		'label'           => esc_html__( 'Featured Image', 'demo_publishing_checklist' ),
		'callback'        => function ( $post_id ) {
			return has_post_thumbnail( $post_id );
		},
		'explanation'     => esc_html__( 'A featured image is required.', 'demo_publishing_checklist' ),
		'post_type'       => array( 'post' ),
	);
	Publishing_Checklist()->register_task( 'demo-featured-image', $args );
});
```
