An idea to optimize the usability

    Hi there,

    I like the simplicity of this plugin.

    When looking at the post listing in the WordPress admin (like in your first screenshot), I think it would make sense to use a prefix for locked pages and protected items.

    That would increase the readabilty a lot!

    My page name ~ protected
    – My Sub Page ~ locked

    or like this:

    My page name (protected)
    – My Sub Page [locked]

    This way it would even be a visual difference not only in the word.
    Ideal would be an icon and/or color I think.
    The words are actually a bit distracting when reading long lists of pages/posts/post types.

    Warm regards,
    Sebastian

    Hey Sebastian,

    Thanks for your message. I really like the idea, I’m a bit tied up with paid work at the moment but this is something I would like to implement.

    Version 2 of the plugin has been in the pipeline for a while now, but I think I’m going to add this feature in before I release it.

    I think icons are a better way to go than text, and I think I’ll make this an opt-in feature as some people who already use the plugin might not want to see any changes to their post/page lists.

    Thanks again for the message, I’ll let you know when the new version is released ??

    Hey Sebastian,

    I know it’s been a while, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve released version 2.0 of the plugin today.

    The plugin now adds a status column to post lists so you’re easily able to see which are locked and which are protected. The column is hidden by default for users who haven’t already hidden any columns on the screen, so any user that wants to see the column needs to enable it under the “Screen Options” tab. Alternatively, you can use the new postlockdown_column_hidden_default filter and return false from it so that all users see the column without enabling it:

    add_filter( 'postlockdown_column_hidden_default', '__return_false' );

    I hope this helps, and if you have a couple of spare minutes I’d really appreciate it if you could review the plugin.

    Thanks, Andy
