About this tool.
ContentLatch is a WordPress content governance and validation plugin. Site administrators define rules for WordPress Core and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) fields, then ContentLatch evaluates content against those rules when editors save or publish.
Define the content rules your site requires, then automatically validate content against those rules before publication.
ContentLatch is not an AI tool, SEO scanner, malware scanner, spell checker, or content generator. It enforces the rules you configure.
How it works
- 01Create a rule for a post type.
- 02Optionally choose when the rule applies (a WHEN condition).
- 03Optionally choose what must be true (a THEN validation).
- 04Choose severity: Blocking or Warning.
- 05ContentLatch evaluates content during editing and save.
- 06Blocking findings prevent publishing or updating published/private content.
- 07Warnings alert the editor but do not block publication.
- 08Run an Audit to evaluate existing published and private content against your active rules.
A rule needs at least a WHEN condition or a THEN validation. You may create a condition-only rule (WHEN without THEN). When that condition matches, the rule itself becomes the finding. That is useful for governance rules such as prohibited terminology.
