                What does Frozzer do?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Frozzer lets you disable WordPress core, extensions, and themes updates - either globally or individually. Perfect for staging sites, client sites, and controlled update workflows.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Will it break my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                No! Frozzer uses WordPress's standard filters. It doesn't modify core files. Your site continues working normally.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Is it safe to disable updates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Only if you have another update workflow (staging environment, WP-CLI, hosting dashboard, etc.). Frozzer shows a security warning to remind you.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Can I freeze one extension while letting others update?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Yes! Enable updates globally, then freeze specific items on the Extensions & Themes page.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Does it work with auto-updates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Yes. Frozen items won't auto-update even if WordPress auto-updates are enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Will it block WP-CLI updates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                No. Frozzer only affects the WordPress admin UI. WP-CLI commands work normally.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Does it work on multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Yes. Settings are per-site. Network-wide controls planned for future release.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                What's the admin bar indicator?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                A color-coded badge showing your update status:\n* Green = All updates enabled\n* Blue = All frozen\n* Yellow = Partial freeze<\/p>\n\n
                Visible only to administrators.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Does it send data externally?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                No! Zero external requests. Everything runs on your server.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Can I see change history?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Yes! The Activity Log shows 30 days of changes with user attribution.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Does it slow my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                No. Minimal performance impact. Only loads in admin area.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Is there a pro version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
