## Descrición

Excerpt Check prompts authors to add an excerpt before publishing or scheduling 
a post. When no excerpt is present, a modal appears giving the author the choice
to add one or proceed without it. This works seamlessly in both the Classic Editor
and the Block Editor (Gutenberg).

**Features:**

 * Intercepts publish and schedule actions when no excerpt is present
 * Full support for the Classic Editor and the Block Editor (Gutenberg)
 * Modal prompt that surfaces before the post is saved
 * Two configurable modes: Remind (allow publishing anyway) or Require (must add
   an excerpt)
 * Settings integrated into the existing Settings > Writing page
 * Works with any post type that has excerpt support enabled
 * Lightweight with zero impact on front-end performance

**Why use excerpts?**

WordPress can auto-generate excerpts by truncating post content, but the results
are often incomplete sentences, leftover shortcodes, or broken HTML. Custom excerpts
give you full control over how your posts appear in archive pages, search results,
RSS feeds, and SEO meta descriptions.

**Use Cases:**

 * Content teams that enforce editorial standards requiring excerpts on all posts
 * SEO-focused publishers who rely on custom excerpts for meta descriptions
 * Multi-author blogs where editors want to ensure consistent content quality
 * Any site where auto-generated excerpts are not desirable

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does this work with the Block Editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. Excerpt Check fully supports both the Classic Editor and the Block Editor. 
It intercepts the publish action in both environments and displays a modal prompt.

### Will this prevent me from publishing without an excerpt?

It depends on the mode you choose. In Remind mode (the default), a prompt appears
but you can dismiss it and publish without an excerpt. In Require mode, the prompt
has no bypass option — you must add an excerpt before publishing.

### Where do I configure the plugin?

Go to Settings > Writing in your WordPress admin. The Excerpt Check options appear
at the bottom of the page.

### Does this affect existing posts?

No. Excerpt Check only activates when you publish or schedule a post. It does not
retroactively flag posts that were already published without excerpts.

### Does this plugin work with custom post types?

Excerpt Check works with any post type that has excerpt support enabled. If your
custom post type supports excerpts, the plugin will work with it automatically.
