#41595 closed enhancement (duplicate)

Prevent end-users from modifying siteurl and home settings

Description

I've grown weary of manually fixing site databases after users see the "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)" boxes on the Options -> General screen. This is a proposed one-liner fix. By defining the new WP_DISABLE_URLCHANGES constant in wp-config.php, this hides those settings.

Feel free to suggest new names for the constant, this is just the first thing that came to mind.

Hi @desmith, welcome to WordPress Trac!

It's also worth noting that setting the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME has the same effect.

True, but it doesn't scale as well. It's so much easier to put one define, that doesn't change, in a plugin that you deploy to all your sites, than to have to put two defines (that are different for each site) into each site's wp-config.php.
