Description
Plugiva ClientGuard helps site owners and administrators prevent accidental or unwanted changes in the WordPress admin area.
Instead of blocking access aggressively, ClientGuard focuses on guardrails — reducing risk while keeping the admin experience calm and predictable.
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

FAQ

Does this plugin completely block access?
