Historical Preservation Mode

Freeze a site for archival viewing while blocking all edits.

Visit site

This plugin is designed for administrators who need to archive a live website, making it permanently viewable but preventing any accidental or intentional changes. It is ideal for preserving project documentation, historical records, or completed client sites.

  • Admin Read-Only Mode: All standard administrative panels, posts, pages, and settings remain fully visible for reference, but the ability to save, update, publish, or delete is removed.
  • Form and Editor Lockdown: Input fields and the visual editor are made non-interactive, and form submission actions are prevented across the entire admin interface.
  • Simple Toggle Control: The mode is activated or deactivated with a single checkbox in the site settings, requiring no complex configuration.
  • Minimal Overhead: As a lightweight solution, it adds negligible performance impact to the site while active.
  • Front-End Preservation: The public-facing website continues to operate normally for visitors; only the back-end editing capabilities are affected.
