RailCall: Review WordPress Changes Before

RailCall: Review WordPress Changes Before They Go Live

Approving a WordPress edit is only useful if the published change still matches what someone reviewed. I built WordPress Publishing for RailCall around that handover, combining a WordPress plugin with a Python module for RailCall.

The workflow starts with a specific post and a preview of its proposed changes. An operator reviews and approves them, then applies the draft update. Publishing or scheduling is a separate, explicit action. If someone edits the post after the preview, the plugin refuses the stale request and asks for another review.

That distinction matters when a content team uses automation alongside people working directly in WordPress. Updating a draft and changing a live page carry different consequences, so I kept those actions separate.

After publication, the plugin records the activity and checks whether the public URL responds with the expected title and a content sample. Those checks provide evidence to inspect, while leaving room for the reality of cached pages. See the workflow and source links on NikoCodes.
