Version Locker<\/strong> gives you precise control over how plugin updates are handled in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n It allows you to lock selected plugins to their current version, hiding update notifications and blocking both automatic and manual updates<\/strong>. This helps prevent accidental updates that could break customized functionality, client sites, or production environments.<\/p>\n\n The plugin works entirely through standard WordPress hooks and filters. It does not<\/strong> modify plugin files or alter plugin code.<\/p>\n\n This is especially useful for agencies, developers, and site owners who want predictable and stable WordPress installations.<\/p>\n\n Plugin Version Locking<\/strong>\nLock selected plugins to their current version and prevent updates.<\/p><\/li>\n Blocks Auto & Manual Updates<\/strong>\nStops WordPress auto-updates and manual update attempts for locked plugins.<\/p><\/li>\n Clean Dashboard<\/strong>\nHides update notification badges for locked plugins to reduce clutter.<\/p><\/li>\n Works on Active & Inactive Plugins<\/strong>\nLock a plugin even if it is currently inactive.<\/p><\/li>\n Update Awareness<\/strong>\nSee when a new version is available for a locked plugin without enabling updates.<\/p><\/li>\n Audit Log (Multi-Admin Sites)<\/strong>\nRecords who locked or unlocked plugins and when (shown only if multiple administrators exist).<\/p><\/li>\n Safe Deletion Handling<\/strong>\nOptional \"Preserve Locks\" mode allows temporary deletion and reinstallation of plugins without losing lock rules.<\/p><\/li>\n Native WordPress UI<\/strong>\nIntegrates seamlessly into the WordPress admin dashboard.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n No. Version Locker does not change, overwrite, or edit plugin files. It only uses WordPress filters to control update behavior.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Locked plugins cannot be updated automatically or manually until they are unlocked.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. While update notification badges are hidden, the Plugins list shows a small indicator next to locked plugins when a new version is available.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. You can lock plugins whether they are active or inactive.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default, the lock is removed when the plugin is deleted. You can enable Preserve Locks<\/strong> to keep lock rules if you plan to reinstall the plugin later.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Version Locker is designed to be safe, predictable, and reversible. Unlocking a plugin immediately restores normal update behavior.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nKey Features<\/h3>\n\n
