Post Lock

Description

It’s way too easy to accidentally publish or update a post on WordPress.

Post Lock prevents accidental updating or publishing of content by requiring a password to do either.

  • Adds a layer of protection without adding a headache: unlocking a post is a seamless experience and takes a few seconds.
  • Works on all post types (you can easily exclude or include post types with a plugin filter).
  • Simple, solid code.
  • If a post is unlocked, and two beats of the WordPress Heartbeat API happen without action (which is usally 30 seconds, 15 per beat), then the post is re-locked.
  • Numerous plugin filters make it easy to customize the plugin.

Screenshots

  • The lock icon added by the Post Lock plugin.
  • An example of the un-locking process.

Installation

Upload the Post Lock plugin to your blog, activate it, and rejoice.

I like the idea behind this plugin. Probably most of us have in the past already accidentally published a post. This is a simple, but very effective way to prevent this from happening. To the plugin author: Thank you for making this useful plugin available for free. I would just make sure that the plugin declares compatibility with the most recent WordPress version.
