Lock Pages

NOTE: This plugin is not tested with Gutenberg, and we have no near-term plans to do so. If using WP > 5.0, use the Classic Editor if there are problems. NOTE: This plugin was originally designed to only lock pages, and only later added custom post type functionality. Hence the name, and sometimes the terminology will say “pages” when it means “any post type”. Sometimes some pages or other posts are too important to allow them to be casually moved about or deleted by site editors. An editor may think nothing of renaming a page’s slug, or deleting a page to replace it with something similar, perhaps unaware of effects on SEO. Also, certain pages might be essential to keep in place because of a site’s structure, or because of aspects of a custom theme. This plugin lets administrators “lock” any or all pages, and any post of any post type. “Locking” here basically means preventing non-admins from: Editing the item’s slug Changing the item’s parent Changing the item’s template Deleting the item Changing the item’s status Changing the item’s password protection Locking is implemented by preventing the actual database update being performed as well as, where possible, having the interface element for that field removed. Where possible interface elements are removed via WP filters on the server; otherwise, jQuery is used on the client. NOTE: Currently, I’ve been unable to get this working with the Quick Edit functionality. As a stop-gap measure, which is only in place because it seems to be better than nothing, the Quick Edit link is removed for users who can’t edit locked pages. I know, it’s not great. But until I work out how to selectively block Quick Editing, I’m assuming a locked page should be locked. Users can always edit the other fields via the normal edit page. Go to GitHub for development code and issue tracking. Known issues Quick Edit presents problems. I’ve worked out how to create hidden fields in the Quick Edit box, and to put the values in the hidden div, but I can’t work out how to dynamically populate the fields with the values, so the old values can be used if necessary on saving. For now Quick Edit is blocked for users who can’t edit locked pages. Although I’ve fixed the lock_parent function so it allows uploaded files to be attached to a locked page, it still prevents media already in the library from being attached when inserted. Ideas Include the locking checkbox for admins in the Quick Edit form. On the settings screen, use a drop-down for selecting which capability is needed for editing locked page elements. Implement a system to deal with descendants, e.g. an option to lock all descendants of a locked page or not.

More Types

More Types is a WordPress plugin that adds new post types to the WordPress admin. For instance, if you run a music site you could create a review post type (based on the post). If you run a food blog you could create a post type for recipes. If you use More Fields in addition to More Types you could for instance add an input field where you put the ingredients and another where you input cooking time. With More Types you can: Create additional post types Allow different WordPress User roles to have different rights to review, save, and publish a specific post type (even built in post types) List posts in specific menus in the WordPress admin Set a range of editing capabilities of the post type based on user level More Types is part of a suite of plugins created to enhance the functionality of a vanilla WordPress installation. With More Fields you can create additional input fields for easier management of Custom fields, with More Taxonomies you can create additional taxonomies besides Categories and Tags. More Types works without the other plugins but interacts with them nicely. This plugins was born out of the development work done for Dagensskiva, Dagensbok and user requests. Upgrading from More Fields 1.x? If you’re upgrading from More Fields 1.x you need to take a couple of steps to continue working with your already defined Post Types. Upgrade to More Fields 1.5.1 (this prepares the More Fields fields and Post types for WP 3.0) Update to WordPress 3.0 still using More Fields 1.5.1 Upgrade to More Fields 2.0 Install More Types 1.0
