The default WordPress dashboard is noisy and useless for teams managing client sites. AdminLocks replaces it with a purpose-built command center that surfaces what actually matters: health checks, risk events, pending updates, and a full activity table.
Control exactly what each role can see and do. AdminLocks uses a deny-by-default model with safe zones, so clients can never accidentally break something. Choose from pre-built templates or build custom policies from scratch.
Every meaningful action in WordPress gets recorded with full context: who did what, when, from where, and exactly what changed. Before/after diffs let you trace any problem back to its root cause in seconds.
Risky actions do not execute immediately. Instead, they enter a queue where admins can review, approve, or deny them. Get notified via Slack or email the moment a gate is triggered, and resolve requests from anywhere.
AdminLocks automatically creates snapshots before risky operations like plugin updates, theme switches, and option changes. If something breaks, one-click restore gets you back to a known-good state in seconds.
Give clients a clean, branded frontend where they can submit change requests, track status, and view maintenance reports. No more email threads or Slack messages getting lost. Everything in one place, with a full paper trail.
Every plan includes the on-site plugin. Cloud tiers unlock approval gates, unlimited forensics, snapshots, and fleet management.
