详情介绍:
Plugiva ClientGuard simplifies and protects the WordPress admin by reducing risky operations and helping prevent unintended changes.
It adds practical guardrails to sensitive areas by reducing access to risky operations and settings that are rarely needed in day-to-day site management.
With one-click Client Mode, you can protect plugins, themes, and critical settings while keeping the admin area clean and usable.
You can also lock Client Mode via configuration to prevent it from being disabled from the admin interface:
define( 'PCGD_LOCK_CLIENT_MODE', true );
This can be added in wp-config.php or defined programmatically in custom code.
When enabled, Client Mode is forced on and cannot be turned off from the dashboard, ensuring consistent protection.
Client Mode also governs WordPress AI and Connector administration areas when available.
Lock Appearance Management restricts Appearance-related administration, including Menus, Widgets, Customizer, and Site Editor access.
Instead of blocking access aggressively, ClientGuard applies smart guardrails, allowing users to work freely without breaking important parts of your site.
ClientGuard is ideal for:
- Site owners managing their own WordPress site
- Developers handing off sites to clients
- Teams that want a simplified and safer admin experience
安装:
- Upload the
plugiva-clientguardfolder to/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
- Go to Settings → ClientGuard
- Enable only the guards you need

常见问题:
Does this plugin completely block access?
No. ClientGuard simplifies access and guards critical actions. Some advanced areas are managed automatically to prevent unintended changes.
Does Client Mode prevent content editing?
No. Client Mode is designed to reduce administrative risks while allowing normal content management activities. Editors and administrators can continue managing content unless specific pages or posts have been protected using Content Protection.
What is the difference between Client Mode and individual protections?
Client Mode applies a recommended set of protections automatically. Individual protections allow site owners to choose exactly which areas should be restricted, such as plugins, themes, Appearance management, protected content, or selected administrative menus.
Is this a security plugin?
No. This plugin is designed to prevent accidental changes, not to secure WordPress from attacks.
What happens to hidden admin areas?
ClientGuard simplifies the admin experience by hiding or managing certain areas to help prevent unintended changes.
Does it work with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)?
Yes. ClientGuard can hide the ACF admin panel automatically when Client Mode is enabled, helping prevent accidental changes to custom fields.
What happens on uninstall?
All plugin settings are removed cleanly when the plugin is uninstalled.
