Plugiva ClientGuard gives you control over plugin installation, theme switching, plugin updates, and other sensitive admin actions in WordPress.
It helps site owners reduce accidental changes in the admin area without aggressively blocking access. Instead of acting like a security firewall, ClientGuard focuses on guardrails – controlled permissions and predictable workflows.
This plugin is ideal for:
– Client-managed websites
– Multi-admin teams
– Sites where stability matters more than frequent changes
Key Features
- Guard plugin installation, deletion, and activation
- Prevent theme switching
- Hide selected admin menus to reduce clutter
- Protect important pages from editing or deletion
- Safe defaults – nothing is locked on activation
- Direct URLs remain accessible (no hard lockouts)
- Clean uninstall with no leftover data
What This Plugin Is NOT
- Not a security or firewall plugin
- Not a role or permission editor
- Not designed to block administrators entirely
Plugiva ClientGuard focuses on preventing mistakes, not enforcing restrictions.
Developer Hooks
Plugiva ClientGuard provides filter hooks that allow developers to customize certain behaviors, including admin notice messages, without modifying plugin code.
