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>

Very simple plug that allows you to put a password-protect the front end of your site. You can also white list pages so that they are still accessible without entering the site password. You can also set any page you want to be the \”enter your password\” screen. This is supposed to be a super simple plug, let me know if you want any features added.
