## Beschrijving

Block Profile Edits lets administrators restrict specific user roles from editing
their own profile fields. You can choose which roles and profile fields to restrict,
and also show a custom message to restricted users.

This plugin was originally inspired to prevent users from unauthorized redistributing
or reselling account access. A common problem with unwanted abuse of GPL themes/
plugins. Sites using PDF-stampers to watermark ebooks will also benefit since users
cannot change their personal information.

### Features:

 * Choose user roles to restrict – Subscriber, Customer, Student, etc. (Administrators
   are exempt.)
 * Choose profile fields to lock – Name, Email, etc.
 * Display custom message – to restricted users, e.g. “Sorry this info cannot be
   changed.”
 * Frontend/Backend restriction – works anywhere account profile fields are shown.
 * Server-side enforcement – for WP-admin profile saves and WordPress user update
   APIs.
 * Clean, modular code – lightweight, minimalist, no site-slowdown.

### Technical Notes:

 * Restriction only works on default WordPress profile fields. Extra fields added
   by plugins are not yet integrated, may be considered for future development.
 * Frontend behavior may vary depending the page template. Most cases appear as 
   normal, fields are visually blocked (greyed out) and custom message is shown.
   In some cases, fields appear as editable but data won’t save when submitted.
 * Testing shortcode – add `[treeflips_bpe_test_form]` to any page to test frontend
   restrictions for logged-in users. Locked fields should render as read-only and
   display the restriction message.

## Installatie

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/block-profile-edits`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Users > Block Profile Edits** to configure restrictions.

## FAQ

### Will this affect frontend profile editing plugins?

It can. Frontend forms that use WordPress user update APIs will be blocked for locked
fields. Custom forms that write directly to the database may bypass WordPress hooks.

### Are administrators restricted?

No. Users with the administrator role always have full edit access.
