This “Lock Posts for WPMU” plugin can be tweaked to fit the ordinary WP. How? Simple …

Just edit the “lock-posts.php” file, and find this WPMU function reference – is_site_admin(). The equivalent for WP is – current_user_can(‘manage_options’). Just replace two parts within that file, and you’re done.

Instructions to install are similar. Easy, isn’t it?

Happy Blogging!

Hi Steve,
One plugin which is truly amazing, which completely locks out a page is the Lock posts WordPress MU plugin (http://wpmu.org/lock-posts-or-pages-from-being-edited/). Sadly, it’s only meant for WPMU … Sigh*

I’ll try to figure something out soon.

Jason, this feature is being requested a lot. My #1 idea for getting it done is finding some time to do it – unfortunately this part of the plan is proving hard to implement ;-)

Any developers out there with time to contribute?

This plugin is absolutely fantastic. What I needed to ‘lock’ some pages from non-Admin users.

I hoped that there was another feature of locking out the edit-ability of the locked page. That’ll surely be a complete lock of the page.

Any ideas for get this done? Cheers!

I’ve translated the plugin Lock Pages into Spanish. If you are interested in the SLT_LockPages-es_ES.po file email me. Some strings that are not available for translation are:

- Lock Pages
- Save changes

A greeting

Thanks for the feedback! I agree this would be a nice feature, but at the moment I’m not even finding time to properly test it on new WordPress versions and other basic tasks. (I believe it does work fine, but I know I should do some proper testing before officially increasing the compatible WP version.) Anyway, my experience is that I know a page is one that needs to be locked when I create it, so actually I’ve not encountered the need to adjust the lock outside the single page edit screen.

Naturally, if someone really needs this feature and wants to contribute some code… :-)

Very good plugin. It only lacks one thing. We ought to enable this option directly wp-admin/edit-pages.php. We could then lock multiple page at once. Is it possible to add this feature? :-))
