Require a featured image to publish post
I have a multi author WordPress blog.
I'd like to allow publishing of a post only when a featured image is set.
How can that be done?
Solutions
You can do something like this with the hook
pre_post_update
:
function wpse_108013_mandatory_featured_image() {
if(!has_post_thumbnail()) { // here you check if there's a featured image
wp_die( 'Featured image must always be set !' ); // there is no featured image
}
}
add_action( 'pre_post_update', 'wpse_108013_mandatory_featured_image' );
