Thaazhu Update Lock

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

1. Go to Plugins page
2. Find plugin you want to lock
3. Click “Lock Update” link
4. (Optional) Click “Add Note” to explain why it’s locked
