As the Gutenberg editor introduced in WordPress 5.0 contains a similar functionality, the development of this plugin is discontinued. The plugin only supports the classic editor (works fine even when using WordPress 5.0 with the Classic Editor plugin).
Extra confirmation dialogue for the publish button to avoid accidental publishing.
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.

Yes, it does.
Yup.
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. As an example, you could only have a confirmation dialogue for public post types, excluding attachments, like this:
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;
}
);Or you can exclude your particular custom post type from the confirmation dialogue like so:
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;
}
);The message text in the publishing dialogue can be changed via PHP filter from a custom plugin or your theme’s functions.php:
add_filter(
'publish_confirm_message',
function( $msg ) {
return "You’re about to send this out into the world.\nHave you added a kitten pic?";
}
);
