Manual

N.C. Brand Guard user guide.

N.C. Brand Guard helps WordPress teams keep everyday editing inside approved brand rules. Free focuses on Gutenberg warnings and policy setup. Pro adds reports, publishing enforcement, exceptions, activity logs, and Elementor/WPBakery scans.

Quick start

Install Free, define rules, then test with a real editor workflow.

  1. Download the free ZIP from the N.C. Brand Guard landing page.
  2. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  3. Upload the ZIP, activate it, then open Settings > N.C. Brand Guard.
  4. Add approved color rows using Name | #HEX | slug.
  5. Add allowed font size slugs, allowed Gutenberg blocks, and restricted roles.
  6. Open a post as an editor or author and confirm the Brand Guard sidebar shows useful warnings.
Best first test: start in warning mode, publish a draft with intentional off-brand colors, then tune your policy before turning on stricter block-inserter or Pro publish controls.

Policy

Use the policy as a practical editing contract.

Brand colorsApproved palette rows. The scanner checks Gutenberg color slugs and custom hex colors against this list.
Font size slugsAllowed theme font-size slugs such as small, medium, large, and x-large.
Allowed blocksOptional Gutenberg block allowlist for teams that want tighter editing controls.
Restricted rolesRoles that receive warnings and optional enforcement. Administrators are never restricted.
Issue severityIgnore, warn, or block unsupported blocks, color drift, and typography drift.
Support SnapshotA copyable diagnostic block from the plugin settings page for faster support requests.

Plans

Free is the editor guard. Pro is the proof and enforcement layer.

N.C. Brand Guard FreeGutenberg warnings, approved colors, font-size rules, block allowlist, restricted roles, optional block-inserter restriction, and a scan API for extensions.
N.C. Brand Guard ProPublish/update blocking, full-site reports, CSV export, printable client report, approved exceptions, activity log, auto-fix, and builder scans.
Agency useUse reports, approved exceptions, and activity logs to show clients how brand governance is being handled over time.
Future roadmapMultiple brand policies, scheduled scans, reusable policy imports, and deeper Elementor/WPBakery editor-side enforcement.

Builders

Gutenberg is active in Free. Elementor and WPBakery scanning are active in Pro.

  • Free scans Gutenberg blocks in the editor and through the core scan API.
  • Pro scans Elementor saved data for off-brand hex colors and custom typography settings.
  • Pro scans WPBakery shortcode attributes for inline colors and typography drift.
  • Pro editor-side auto-fix currently focuses on Gutenberg colors and typography.
  • Unsupported blocks are not auto-replaced because that could remove intentional content structure.

License and billing

Use the Support Hub for Pro ZIP downloads, license checks, and activation.

  1. Install and activate N.C. Brand Guard Free first.
  2. Download N.C. Brand Guard Pro from the Support Hub using the purchase email and license key.
  3. Install and activate the Pro ZIP in WordPress.
  4. Open Brand Guard Pro > Settings.

Support workflow

Send the policy context with the ticket.

Both Free and Pro include a Support Snapshot on their settings screens. Paste that snapshot into a support request when warnings, reports, or license checks behave unexpectedly.

  • Include the affected post URL or admin edit link.
  • Include whether the content was built in Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, or a custom block.
  • Include the expected brand rule and what was flagged incorrectly.
  • For license issues, include the purchase email and the license status message shown in Pro settings.
