Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about EffortLess Required Fields Validator

Yes! The plugin includes validation for both Gutenberg and the Classic Editor.

Currently, the plugin requires Title, Content, Featured Image, and Category (for posts). Customization options may be added in future versions based on user feedback.

Currently, the plugin only validates the 'post' and 'page' post types. Support for custom post types may be added in future versions.

No. As of version 1.0.8, all users (including administrators) must complete all required fields before publishing. This ensures consistent content quality across your entire site.

No. The validation only applies when publishing new posts or updating existing ones. Your existing published posts remain unaffected.

Yes! The plugin is fully compatible with the Gutenberg block editor and all standard blocks.

In Gutenberg, the Publish button will be disabled and a warning banner will show which fields are missing. In the Classic Editor, you'll see an error message with a link to return to editing.

Yes! The plugin is fully translatable and includes French translation. You can add your own translations using the provided .pot file.

Yes. The plugin can be activated per-site or Network Activated. It stores no options and creates no database tables, so validation and the Settings screen work independently and correctly on every site in the network.

No. The plugin only loads its assets on post/page edit screens and has minimal performance impact.
