 * Hy WP community!
 * **purpose summarised**:
    I would like to set (as administrator) rules who would
   block automatically the submition of drafts if all the required fields are not
   properly complete by the contributors.
 * **issue:**
    I’m administrator of a (quite big) brand’s corporate blog. I have
   to validate a lot of drafts posted by contributors and schedule the time each
   draft will be posted.
 * In my company, their are posts requirement that contributors have to follow (
   format of the titles; insert sub-title/link/media in the body content; complet
   entirely the SEO pack…)
 * Unfortunately, the errors made by the contributors are generally always the same(
   no sub titles in text content; not enought medias; no categories ; no tags…);
   as well as my correction do.
 * We created a very clair guidelines that contributors are suppose to use in order
   to let them know how to properly create a draft.
    But this intern communication
   is not enought, their are still a lot of required setting unfollowed by the contributors
 * **purpose**
    In order to save a precious time, and to avoid becoming a correction
   machine; I would like to set (as administrator) rules who would block automatically
   the submition of drafts if all the required fields are not properly complete 
   by the contributors.
 * With such rules, contributors would not be able to submit their draft without
   following the company’s requirements.

 * Yes !! perfect!! it’s exactly what i’m looking for.
 * Did it block the update of all type of posts (whatever its status) or just the
   published one?
 * This plugin does not seem to match my WP version (“Compatible up to: 4.0.8” and
   I have WP 4.2.2. Should it still work ?

 * Hmmm. I don’t know. Do you have a development/test site? You could test it on
   that and figure out if it still works and what post types it works on.
