## Description

Thaazhu Update Lock is a lightweight, [developer-focused](https://projektisle.com/pi-plugins/thaazhu-update-lock/)
utility designed to give you absolute control over the WordPress update cycle. While
WordPress provides a native way to toggle auto-updates, it lacks the ability to 
hard-lock a specific plugin version to prevent manual accidental updates or bulk-
action overrides.

At its core, Thaazhu (a Malayalam word meaning “lock”) acts as a safety “clasp” 
for your site’s plugin updates. It allows administrators to freeze a plugin at its
current version, ensuring that a critical environment remains stable until you are
ready to perform testing and deployment.

Key Features:
 * Granular Version Control: Pick and choose which specific plugins
stay frozen. * Contextual Documentation: Pair locks with notes to explain technical
reasons for the restriction. * Modular Architecture: Built for performance without
database bloat. * Bulk Update Protection: Locked plugins are disabled from bulk 
actions.

### Usage

 1. Go to **Plugins** page
 2. Find plugin you want to lock
 3. Click **“Lock Update”** link
 4. (Optional) Click **“Add Note”** to explain why it’s locked

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * The “Lock Update” action link on the Plugins page.
 * [[
 * The inline “Add Note” form for documenting lock reasons.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `thaazhu-update-lock` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Look for the “Lock Update” link under individual plugins on the Plugins page.

## FAQ

### Where is my data stored?

All lock statuses and notes are stored in your WordPress options table.

### Will deleting the plugin leave junk in my database?

No. Thaazhu includes a dedicated uninstall.php file that wipes all settings and 
notes upon deletion.
