Edit Lock is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance website security by preventing unauthorized edits to critical pages and posts. It is particularly useful for websites containing HTML code, where accidental changes can cause issues. This free tool allows users to lock specific pages, posts, and media files, ensuring that only authorized personnel can make modifications. The plugin supports custom post types and is compatible with both the Gutenberg and Classic Editor interfaces.

The plugin offers two locking mechanisms to cater to different user needs: Lock mode disables editing and deletion of locked content, while Warn mode provides a warning to users attempting to edit locked posts, though quick editing and deletion remain disabled. Additionally, administrators retain the ability to modify locked content without needing to unlock it, making it a versatile solution for maintaining control over website content.
