Deskhush Client Editor

By jasonmad

Description

For agencies that need server-enforced content locks on handoff sites — clients edit marked regions only, even if the browser UI is bypassed.

Free

Client Editor role
Per-page lock and per-block editable regions
Server-side save enforcement (ID-based merge; locked regions restored on bypass attempts)

Pro

Apply the same lock to additional roles
Save audit log
Named lock presets (save/load current config)
One-click restore safe defaults
Elementor region locking (widget/section allowlist + server-side _elementor_data merge)
Named ACF field locks (lock listed field keys for client roles)

Pairs well with: Deskhush Client Dashboard for simplified client admin chrome.

Classic Editor is not supported.

This Free package is fully usable on its own. Pro is distributed separately via Freemius.

FAQ

Does this lock paid features inside the free plugin?: No. Everything shipped in this package works. Extra roles, audit log, presets, and Elementor locking live in the Pro package.
Does this support WordPress Multisite?: Not in v1. The plugin activates on Multisite without errors, then shows an admin notice and does not run client locking. Use a single-site install for the supported experience.
Does Classic Editor work?: No. Gutenberg / block editor only for Free. Elementor region locking is Pro (requires Elementor).
