Thaazhu Update Lock is a lightweight, <a href="https://projektisle.com/pi-plugins/thaazhu-update-lock/" rel="nofollow ugc">developer-focused</a> 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.
<h3>Usage</h3>

<li>Find plugin you want to lock</li>
<li>Click “Lock Update” link</li>
<li>(Optional) Click “Add Note” to explain why it’s locked</li>
</ol>

Disables automatic post locking so multiple users can open the same post in 
the administration panel.
Warning: Post locking was an addition to WordPress in order to prevent such 
bugs as overwritten autosaves (coming from multiple authors), and of course 
to prevent accidentally overwriting another user’s changes with older content. 
These are often never problems for many users, and you should likely be 
communicating with your fellow editors when making changes anyway. This plugin 
makes the choice of relying on the latter rather than post locking, so you 
may run into those problems again.
