## Description

_It’s way too easy to accidentally publish or update a post on WordPress._

https://vimeo.com/178698875

Post Lock prevents accidental updating or publishing of content by requiring a password
to do either.

 * Adds a layer of protection without adding a headache: unlocking a post is a seamless
   experience and takes a few seconds.
 * Works on all post types (you can easily exclude or include post types with a 
   plugin filter).
 * Simple, solid code.
 * If a post is unlocked, and two beats of the WordPress Heartbeat API happen without
   action (which is usally 30 seconds, 15 per beat), then the post is re-locked.
 * Numerous plugin filters make it easy to customize the plugin.

## Installation

I like the idea behind this plugin. Probably most of us have in the past already
accidentally published a post. This is a simple, but very effective way to prevent
this from happening. To the plugin author: Thank you for making this useful plugin
available for free. I would just make sure that the plugin declares compatibility
with the most recent WordPress version.
