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

Stop forgetting to disable WP_DEBUG before client handoff. Noshi-Kanamer's pre-launch checklist catches the things that always slip through — WP_DEBUG, noindex, test content, unused media — before you hand off to a client. Unlike file-collection portals, Noshi-Kanamer focuses on the engineering side of handoff — catching WP_DEBUG, noindex, debug.log, and other technical loose ends before delivery. Noshi-Kanamer is a pre-launch checklist and cleanup toolkit for WordPress freelancers and agencies. It helps you prepare a WordPress site for client delivery — clean up test content, check launch settings, hide Gutenberg blocks the client doesn't need, and keep their admin experience focused. The Pre-Launch tab is your final checkpoint before delivery: delete test content, flush rewrite rules, check WP_DEBUG, and confirm search engine indexing — all without leaving the admin. When the checklist clears, your site is ready to hand off. Noshi-Kanamer supports two halves of a client project: tools that help while you build — Hide Blocks, Block Showcase, Test Posts, Media Manager, and Site Check — and a final checklist that confirms everything is ready before you hand off: Pre-Launch. Block Showcase Instantly render every registered block on any page or post. Insert the Block Showcase block, click "Generate Showcase", and all available blocks appear in one place — ready for client review or your own reference. No more hunting through the block inserter to find what's available. Hide Blocks Remove unwanted default blocks (social links, YouTube embed, etc.) from the editor with a single click. Applied globally across all users — not just per-user preferences. When you're ready to deliver, the Pre-Launch tab generates a functions.php snippet to make the setting permanent. Deactivate or remove the plugin without losing your configuration. Test Posts Generate flagged test posts in one click. Each post is marked internally, so you can delete all test content before launch with zero risk of touching real posts. WordPress Pre-Launch Checklist A checklist that actually does the work. Before handing off the site, the Pre-Launch tab handles everything in one screen:

• Delete all test posts — removes every flagged test post instantly
• Move Block Showcase pages to trash — cleans up pages containing the Block Showcase block
• Flush rewrite rules — prevents 404 errors after migration to production
• Search engine indexing — detects if your site is still set to noindex, with a direct link to fix it
• Admin email address — shows the current email 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 — checks four common security loose ends, each with a one-click fix or guidance to resolve it
• Persist block visibility — generates a functions.php snippet to keep your Hide Blocks settings after deactivating or removing the plugin

When all tasks are complete, a "Ready to launch" banner confirms the site is clean and ready for handoff. A copyable summary report lets you document the cleanup for your client. Site Check Taking over an existing site? The Site Check tab scans every installed plugin (active and inactive) against WordPress.org and flags anything that hasn't been updated in 6+ months or 1+ year — with results sorted so the plugins that need attention appear first. It's the fastest way to spot outdated, possibly abandoned plugins before you start working on a client's site. Media Manager Keep your media library clean while you build. The Media Manager tab (Tools > Noshi-Kanamer) scans every image in your library and flags the ones that aren't referenced anywhere in your content, so clutter doesn't quietly pile up over the course of a project. Each image in the media library is scanned automatically:

• "Unused" badge — appears on any image that isn't used in post content, featured images, or custom fields (including ACF image and gallery fields)
• "Used In" field — open any media attachment to see exactly which posts or pages reference it
• Bulk delete — select unused images in the Media Manager tab and permanently delete them in one go — handy for a final sweep before client handoff, too

Built for WordPress Freelancers & Agencies WordPress freelancers and agencies who build sites for clients and want to eliminate the repetitive, error-prone steps before delivery. If you've ever shipped a site with WP_DEBUG still on, noindex still set, or test posts still in the database — this plugin is for you. Hundreds of downloads since launch — built by a working WordPress developer.

0.5.0

• Added: New "Site Check" tab scans all installed plugins (active and inactive) and flags ones not updated on WordPress.org in 6+ months (warning) or 1+ year (critical), with results sorted so plugins needing attention appear first. Batch scanning keeps things responsive on sites with many plugins.
• Added: A link to the Site Check tab now appears on the Plugins screen (wp-admin/plugins.php).
• Added: The Pre-Launch summary report now includes an outdated plugins count and flags inactive plugins that are also outdated, based on the Site Check scan.

0.4.0

• Added: Pre-Launch tab now checks 4 more items: DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT (file editor lock), XML-RPC, debug.log, and the default 'admin' username — each with a one-click fix or guidance to resolve it.
