Noshi-Kanamer – WordPress Pre-Launch Checklist & Client Handoff Toolkit

Description

Prove your site is clean before the client ever sees it.
Noshi-Kanamer is a WordPress pre-launch checklist & client handoff toolkit built for freelancers and agencies, whether you hand-code, use a page builder, or build with AI. It auto-detects the things that are easy to leave behind: WP_DEBUG, noindex, test content, and the default admin username, then generates a shareable report summarizing your pre-launch checks.

Check what you inherited. Clean it up. Hand it off.
Taking over an existing WordPress site? Site Check flags potentially unmaintained plugins before you start. When your work is done, Pre-Launch checks key launch settings, helps you clear leftovers like flagged test posts and debug.log, and generates a report for handoff.

Develop → Check → Fix → Prove → Handoff!!
Noshi-Kanamer is more than a pre-launch checklist. Hide Blocks, Block Showcase, Test Posts, Media Manager, and Site Check support you while you build. Then Pre-Launch takes over. It checks the technical loose ends that are easy to miss before handoff, including WP_DEBUG, noindex, and debug.log. Unlike a manual checklist, it detects problems instead of just listing them, then summarizes the completed checks in a copyable handoff report.

Block Showcase

Ever want to check how your available editor blocks look, all in one place? Insert the Block Showcase block and click “Generate Showcase”: supported blocks you haven’t hidden line up together so you can check appearance and consistency at a glance. This gives you a shareable page for client review.

Hide Blocks

Hide blocks your client will not need, such as social links or YouTube embeds, from the editor in one click. The setting applies globally to all users. Generate a functions.php snippet during your handoff checklist and add it to your theme to keep the block visibility settings after Noshi-Kanamer is removed.

Test Posts

Generate flagged test posts in one click to fill carousels or list blocks without creating sample content by hand. Each test post is marked internally, so you can delete all generated test posts before launch without touching unflagged posts.

WordPress Pre-Launch Checklist

A checklist that actually does the work. Run a consistent pre-launch routine across your client sites from one screen:

• Delete all test posts: every flagged test post, instantly
• Move Block Showcase pages to trash
• Flush rewrite rules: helps prevent rewrite-related 404 errors after migration
• Search engine indexing: detects noindex, with a direct link to fix it
• Admin email address: shown with a direct link to update it
• WP_DEBUG status: alerts if debug mode is still on, with a copy-paste fix
• File editor, XML-RPC, debug.log, and the default ‘admin’ username: four security loose ends, each with an action, copy-paste snippet, direct link, or clear guidance
• Persist block visibility: keeps your Hide Blocks settings via a functions.php snippet

Too many checks to track at once? The sticky Next Action card always points to the one thing to do next, so the finish line stays in sight. Once everything is done, your pre-launch check is clear. Click “Generate Report” for a copyable summary of your pre-launch checks, ready to include in your handoff documentation or client update.

Other Useful Tools

Two additional tools support the work around the core pre-launch flow: Site Check helps at the start of a client project, and Media Manager helps with cleanup before handoff.

Site Check

Taking over an existing site? The Site Check tab scans every installed plugin (active and inactive) against WordPress.org and flags plugins whose WordPress.org listings have not been updated in 6+ months or 1+ year, bringing potentially unmaintained plugins to the top before you start working on a client’s site.

Media Manager

Keep your media library clean while you build. Every image is scanned automatically:

• “Possibly Unused” badge: flags images not used in post content, featured images, or supported ACF image and gallery fields
• “Detected Usage” field: shows which posts or pages reference an attachment
• Bulk delete: remove images with no detected references in one go, handy for a final sweep before client handoff

Built However You Build It

Whether you hand-code it, build it with a page builder, or prompt an AI to do it, the finish line looks the same: WP_DEBUG left on, noindex still set, test posts left behind. AI can build what you ask for, but it cannot sign off on the launch. That final check is still yours. Noshi-Kanamer helps you catch what any build method can leave behind before handoff.

Source Code

The compiled JavaScript in the build/ directory is generated from the JSX source files in src/ using Vite. The full source code is included in the plugin package under src/.
