Add Confirmation Message Before Publishing A Post In WordPress

Add-Confirmation-Message-Before-Publishing-A-Post-In-WordPress
We all bloggers are fairly enthusiastic and so want to publish as many articles as you can and at the earliest opportunity. There comes the situation: at one period or other we’re able to have accidentally constrained the “Publish” key and caused this content to go reside even before it really is completed.

If you’ve pressed the Distribute button accidentally, it may scare you as the article or the post is just not yet completed or maybe you haven’t critique it yet or maybe the article is to be scheduled on an upcoming date, etc. Furthermore, by the time you are aware of and unpublished this content, the post could have already appeared on social websites, or it could be sent to your own email subscribers, or in your worst case predicament your readers may perhaps comment or send emails requesting what it is that you have written.

To provide a custom message before publishing the post in WordPress, you can follow any one of the two methods proven below, e. g. using a free of charge WordPress plugin (easy way) or maybe by manually adding a piece of code (smart way).

How To Add Confirmation Message Before Publishing A Post In WordPress Without Plugin?

Step 1:) Copy the below code and Paste in your Theme Function(function.php) file.

/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
 * Add Confirmation Message On "Publish" Button
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
$confirmation_message = 'Are You Sure Want To Publish/Update This Post Right Now?'; 
function confirm_message_publish(){
 global $confirmation_message;
 echo '
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var publish = document.getElementById("publish");
if (publish !== null) publish.onclick = function(){
 return confirm("'.$confirmation_message.'");
};
// --></script>';
}
add_action('admin_footer', 'confirm_message_publish');

Step 2:) Save And That’s It.

Customization:

To display different text change the word ‘Are You Sure Want To Publish/Update This Post Right Now?‘ only.

Theme Files Editing Warning:

Keep in mind that every code that you will add in your themes files will be removed when you will change the theme. So after changing your theme, you have to follow this article again and you will get everything back same as it is now.
