Read Only Mode – Telchar HiveLock freezes an already working site by restricting persistent WordPress actions while keeping the site online, browsable, and accessible to administrators.
While freeze mode is enabled:
<ul>
<li>Frontend browsing continues to work.</li>
<li>Administrators can still log in. All users can still log out.</li>
<li>Administrators can still access the dashboard.</li>
<li>Administrators can return to the plugin page and disable the freeze.</li>
<li>Standard WordPress-level persistent changes are blocked.</li>
</ul>
This plugin is designed for already-finished sites that should stay online and readable without allowing routine changes, uploads, updates, or content edits until an administrator intentionally unfreezes the site again.
It is not a maintenance mode plugin. Its purpose is to harden finished sites by reducing their WordPress-level attack surface and blocking persistent changes through standard WordPress write routes.
Blocked surfaces include:
<ul>
<li>post, page, attachment, and custom post type writes</li>
<li>taxonomy changes</li>
<li>comment creation and standard moderation changes</li>
<li>option and settings updates</li>
<li>user creation, deletion, and password reset flows</li>
<li>media uploads</li>
<li>plugin, theme, and core file modification flows handled through WordPress</li>
<li>REST write requests across all namespaces, including third-party plugin routes</li>
<li>admin AJAX restricted to a narrow allowlist of safe core read actions, while taxonomy creation requests return a visible error</li>
<li>XML-RPC publishing and pingback-style mutation routes</li>
</ul>
This plugin aims to provide a practical WordPress-level freeze mode. It does not claim to provide absolute immutability, server-level filesystem protection, or protection against every possible vulnerability or every custom plugin write path.
