DeveloperPrevent accidental updates by locking plugins from being updated and add optional admin notes explaining why.
Thaazhu Update Lock is a lightweight, developer-focused utility designed to give you absolute control over the WordPress update cycle. While WordPress provides a native way to toggle auto-updates, it lacks the ability to hard-lock a specific plugin version to prevent manual accidental updates or bulk-action overrides.
At its core, Thaazhu (a Malayalam word meaning “lock”) acts as a safety “clasp” for your site’s plugin updates. It allows administrators to freeze a plugin at its current version, ensuring that a critical environment remains stable until you are ready to perform testing and deployment.
Key Features:
* Granular Version Control: Pick and choose which specific plugins stay frozen.
* Contextual Documentation: Pair locks with notes to explain technical reasons for the restriction.
* Modular Architecture: Built for performance without database bloat.
* Bulk Update Protection: Locked plugins are disabled from bulk actions.
Usage
- Go to Plugins page
- Find plugin you want to lock
- Click “Lock Update” link
- (Optional) Click “Add Note” to explain why it’s locked
