supportHey Bryan, great idea here. However, the plugin doesn’t exactly do what it should. On activation of the plugin _edit_lock post meta is cleared, which clears any current locks for posts. I believe the best approach here would be to just filter ‘wp_check_post_lock_window’, and set it to a negative value. Cheers. <?php add_filter( 'wp_check_post_lock_window', 'set_post_lock_window_to_a_negative_number' ); function set_post_lock_window_to_a_negative_number( $lock_window ) { $lock_window = -1; return $lock_window; http://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-post-locking/
I did have a problem initially with version 1.0 that used the wrong method name in the metadata update filter. That was fixed in 1.1 though. I’d give that another shot.
Basically, my approach stops WordPress from ever marking a post as locked in the first place, so that also prevents issues like additional lists of posts outside of the editor showing posts as locked as well.
Ah works now, and a more to-the-point approach 😉
