Description

This plugin checks if posts submitted for review and posted satisfies set of rules:

• minimum post length (in characters and/or words);
• maximum number of links;
• minimum and maximum length of title (in characters and/or words);
• minimum and maximum number of selected categories;
• WordPress assigns default category if none is selected, so you can forbid this category;
• minimum and maximum number of tags;
• no forbidden words in title and/or content;

When one or more of these rules are not met, appropriate message is displayed and Post Status is changed to Draft.

You can also enable options to enforce following rules:

• maximum link count - extra links over limit will be removed;
• maximum title length - too long titles will be truncated;
• maximum category count - extra categories will be removed (if you do not allow to use the default category, WyPiekacz will try to remove it first);
• maximum tag count - extra tags will be removed;

By default these rules are checked for everyone. It is possible to disable them for Administrators and Editors. You can also let Administrators and Editors to conditionally disable rule checking for given post.

Rule check results are also displayed on Edit Posts page. This allows to quickly see if post obeys rules or not, and delete ones which violates them without opening.

Additionally plugin provides option to specify default template for post title and contents. You can also disable emails sent to admin when new user account is created and/or when user resets its password.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to use Forbidden Word List and Allowed Word List?

WyPiekacz first checks if every word from Forbidden Word List is in text. This check is very simple, so forbidden word fly will be matched to butterfly word too. In order to avoid this, you should put allowed words on Allowed Word List. WyPiekacz uses the same simple matching method, so you do not have to enter whole words (this is especially useful if your language allows to decline words in many ways). Please make sure only that forbidden words are always contained in words on Allowed Word List (in other words, entering butterf will not work - you have to enter butterfly).

Why this plugin is called "WyPiekacz"?

You may heard about Presell Pages - content pages placed on other sites, with link(s) leading to your site(s). In Poland this idea evolved into separate sites (WordPress is the preferred script), where everyone can post his or her post with links. Of course there are different Presell Pages - some of them accepts every post and are just full of junk, but there are also ones where posts are thoroughly moderated before publishing. WyPiekacz plugin greatly simplifies moderation tasks for the latter ones.

"Presell Page" is not the only name used to call them - another popular name is just "Presell", or similarly pronounced Polish word "Precel" (eng. pretzel). This last name is also a source of other derived names for some tools - they have names referring to pretzels or baking. "WyPiekacz" also follows this convention - it means "baker" - i.e. "tool used for baking".
