WP Remote Plugin Lock: Stop Fearing the ‘Update All’ Button

You see 20 plugins that need updates on your client sites.

You go to your WP Remote bulk action bar to click – Select All – and Update.

But you can’t.

Because ‘WooCommerce’ is on that list. Or that one custom coded plugin that your developers spent hours on. You know that updating that plugin without testing it on staging first will break the client’s site.

So you’re back to updating the other 19 plugins . . . one by one.

WP Remote Plugin Lock let’s you lock plugins on your client sites, so that, that plugin is safe from all accidental clicks and updates.

Lock Those Fragile Plugins

Plugin lock gives you granular control.

To lock that fragile/vulnerable plugin that is installed across several client websites, head to your sites dashboard and select all your client sites to access the bulk action bar > Manage Plugins and look for the specific plugin.

The plugin card will expand to show all the client sites that it is installed on, you can select that plugin and lock it on all your client sites at once using the bulk action bar.

If you have a specific website on which you need to lock a specific plugin, you can access that plugin and select the particular website and then lock it using the ellipsis button (3 dots) in that website card.

A clean green ‘Locked’ icon now appears next to that website, indicating that that plugin is locked on that website.

The orange locked icon indicates that the website itself is locked, see why and how you can lock websites on WP Remote.

Work Fast, With Confidence

Now, you can ‘Select All’ and ‘Update’ with total confidence.

WP Remote will update all 19 “safe” plugins but automatically skip the one you locked.

It’s a simple guardrail that makes your safe updates fast and secure. This isn’t just for updates. It’s for cleanup, too. You can lock your critical security or backup plugins.

This way, your team can bulk delete plugins/themes without ever accidentally removing something vital.

The End of ‘Update Anxiety’

That fear of “what if I click the wrong thing?” . . . that could be your invisible bottleneck.

It’s what makes you slow down. It’s what makes you double-check everything.

For those time-black-holes, WP Remote ‘Plugin Lock’ looks like a time warper.

It’s the “off” switch for that anxiety. It’s the tool that lets you work fast, work in bulk, and know you can’t hurt what’s locked.
