This tool is designed for developers and technical managers who maintain websites for clients. It solves the common problem of site instability caused by clients accidentally modifying core files, plugins, or themes. By applying specific restrictions, it allows clients to manage their content freely while preventing actions that could break the site.
Update Lock for Core and Extensions: The primary function is to disable all updates for the website's core software, plugins, and themes for every user except the primary site administrator. This prevents untested updates from introducing conflicts.
Installation and Removal Controls: It blocks the ability to install new plugins or themes, and removes the option to delete existing ones. This stops clients from adding potentially harmful or incompatible extensions.
Role-Based Flexibility: The tool works by targeting user permissions, specifically restricting capabilities for all administrator accounts except the one with the original user ID (typically ID 1). This allows other necessary admin functions to remain available for the client.
Minimal Configuration: Setup involves simply installing the tool; it activates its restrictions immediately without requiring complex role editing or custom code, making deployment straightforward.
Preserves Client Access: Clients retain full access to create and edit posts, pages, and other site content. The restrictions are focused solely on the technical backend, separating content management from system maintenance.
