Extra confirmation dialogue for the publish button to avoid accidental publishing.


## Description ##
Accidentally published a WordPress post too early once too often, instead of saving it as a draft? This lightweight WordPress plugin implements an extra confirmation dialogue between your click on the *Publish* button and its actual processing. Simple and effective—never publish by accident again!

Once a post has been published, the confirmation dialogue will not appear anymore for that post.

## Installation ##
* If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, [here’s how](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins).


## Frequently Asked Questions ##
### Does _Publish Confirm_ work for posts and pages? ###
Yes, it does.

### And Custom Post Types? ###
Yup.

### Can I limit/extend the plugin’s functionality for a custom selection of post types? ###
Yes, you can, via PHP filter from a custom plugin or from your theme’s functions.php. By default, the plugin will consider all [registered post types](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/). As an example, you could only have a confirmation dialogue for public post types, excluding attachments, like this:

<pre>add_filter(
	'publish_confirm_post_types',
	function ( $post_types ) {

		$post_types = get_post_types( array( 'public' => true ) );

		if ( isset( $post_types[ 'attachment' ] ) ) {
			unset( $post_types[ 'attachment' ] );
		}

		return $post_types;
	}
);</pre>

Or you can exclude your particular custom post type from the confirmation dialogue like so:

<pre>add_filter(
	'publish_confirm_post_types',
	function ( $post_types ) {

		if ( isset( $post_types[ 'your_custom_post_type' ] ) ) {
			unset( $post_types[ 'your_custom_post_type' ] );
		}

		return $post_types;
	}
);</pre>

### Is there any way to change the default dialogue message into something else? ###
The message text in the publishing dialogue can be changed via PHP filter from a custom plugin or your theme’s functions.php:

<pre>add_filter(
	'publish_confirm_message',
	function( $msg ) {
		return "You’re about to send this out into the world.\nHave you added a kitten pic?";
	}
);</pre>
