A WordPress plugin that makes WordPress readonly. It's main use case is blue/green deployments, in which the active application slot requires a (short) readonly window to sync the database to the other slot.

Features:

- `WP-CLI` commands to enable and disable the readonly mode
- Notify logged-in users (in the admin) of upcoming `readonly` phase using notification.
- Disable login for all users during both `prepare` and `readonly` phase.
- Drop all `POST` requests during `readonly` phase with a `503 Service Unavailable`.
- Refreshes admin pages for logged-in users once readonly mode is disabled.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This plugin is designed for WordPress websites that use `Composer`, such as [Bedrock](https://packagist.org/packages/roots/bedrock).

```
