JavaScript Productivity wp-admin

Confirm before clicking Publish

Shows a confirmation dialog when the Publish button is clicked, guarding against accidentally publishing content.

Code to copy

document.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
  var btn = e.target && e.target.closest
    ? e.target.closest('.editor-post-publish-button, #publish')
    : null;
  if (!btn) return;
  if (!window.confirm('Publish this content now?')) {
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
  }
}, true);

How to use this example

  1. Copy the code with the button above.
  2. Install JustZix (2 minutes) and open the extension on the target page.
  3. Add a new rule matching that page.
  4. Paste the code into the rule's JavaScript panel and save — it runs on every page visit.

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
