Extensions Keep: Streamline Your WordPress Plugin Management

<p>Plugiva ClientGuard simplifies and protects the WordPress admin by reducing risky operations and helping prevent unintended changes.</p>
<p>It adds practical guardrails to sensitive areas by reducing access to risky operations and settings that are rarely needed in day-to-day site management.</p>
<p>With one-click Client Mode, you can protect plugins, themes, and critical settings while keeping the admin area clean and usable.</p>
<p>You can also lock Client Mode via configuration to prevent it from being disabled from the admin interface:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'PCGD_LOCK_CLIENT_MODE', true );
</code></pre>
<p>This can be added in wp-config.php or defined programmatically in custom code.</p>
<p>When enabled, Client Mode is forced on and cannot be turned off from the dashboard, ensuring consistent protection.</p>
<p>Client Mode also governs WordPress AI and Connector administration areas when available.</p>
<p>Lock Appearance Management restricts Appearance-related administration, including Menus, Widgets, Customizer, and Site Editor access.</p>
<p>Instead of blocking access aggressively, ClientGuard applies smart guardrails, allowing users to work freely without breaking important parts of your site.</p>
<p>ClientGuard is ideal for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Site owners managing their own WordPress site</li>
<li>Developers handing off sites to clients</li>
<li>Teams that want a simplified and safer admin experience</li>
</ul>
<h3>Client Mode</h3>
<p>Enable Client Mode to instantly apply safe defaults:</p>
<ul>
<li>Restricts plugin installation, deletion, and editing</li>
<li>Prevents theme switching and theme management changes</li>
<li>Restricts Appearance management (Menus, Widgets, Customizer, and Site Editor)</li>
<li>Protects critical site settings and homepage assignments</li>
<li>Governs WordPress AI and Connector administration areas when available</li>
<li>Hides selected administrative areas to simplify the dashboard</li>
<li>Protects important content from unintended edits</li>
<li>Hides the ACF admin area automatically when ACF is active</li>
</ul>
<h3>Individual Protections</h3>
<p>If Client Mode is not enabled, each protection can be managed independently.</p>
<ul>
<li>Lock Theme Switching – Prevents switching, installing, deleting, and editing themes.</li>
<li>Lock Appearance Management – Restricts Appearance management capabilities, including Menus, Widgets, Customizer, and Site Editor access.</li>
<li>Lock Plugin Installation – Prevents installing, deleting, and editing plugins.</li>
<li>Allow Plugin Activation – Allows administrators to activate or deactivate installed plugins while installation protections remain in place.</li>
<li>Protect Site URLs – Protects selected site configuration areas such as permalink management.</li>
<li>Content Protection – Prevents editing of selected pages.</li>
<li>Menu Hiding – Removes selected administrative menus from the dashboard interface.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>One-click Client Mode for instant admin protection</li>
<li>Optional configuration lock for Client Mode</li>
<li>WordPress AI and Connector governance support</li>
<li>Compatible with modern WordPress operational workflows</li>
<li>ACF-aware administration controls</li>
<li>Safe defaults with no changes on activation</li>
<li>Clean uninstall with no leftover settings</li>
</ul>
<h3>What This Plugin Is NOT</h3>
<ul>
<li>Not a security or firewall plugin</li>
<li>Not a role or permission editor</li>
<li>Not designed to block administrators entirely</li>
</ul>
<p>Plugiva ClientGuard focuses on preventing mistakes, not enforcing restrictions.</p>
<h3>Developer Hooks</h3>
<p>Plugiva ClientGuard includes developer-friendly hooks for customizing certain behaviors, such as modifying admin notice messages. Additional hooks may be introduced in future versions.</p>
