This WordPress plugin helps you restrict post or page edits after certain hours or days once they were published.  For example you set a 3 day time out after which the editors or other roles would not be able to edit what has been published in any shape or form.   Only the admin or authorized roles could go back and edit those posts once the time out days are expired.","assets_banners_color":"","last_updated":"2025-09-01 13:53:35","external_support_url":"","external_repository_url":"","donate_link":"","header_plugin_uri":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/postpage-edit-restriction-days\/","header_author_uri":"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/josefnamin\/","rating":5,"author_block_rating":0,"active_installs":10,"downloads":1294,"num_ratings":3,"support_threads":0,"support_threads_resolved":0,"author_block_count":0,"sections":["description","installation","faq","changelog"],"tags":{"1.0":{"tag":"1.0","author":"josefnamin","date":"2020-07-14 15:04:50"},"1.1":{"tag":"1.1","author":"dipakparmar443","date":"2025-08-31 16:36:28"},"1.2":{"tag":"1.2","author":"dipakparmar443","date":"2025-09-01 13:53:35"}},"upgrade_notice":{"1.1":"<ul>\n<li>Default restriction period updated.
