## 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).
