## Description

Disables automatic post locking so multiple users can open the same post in
 the
administration panel.

Warning: Post locking was an addition to WordPress in order to prevent such
 bugs
as overwritten autosaves (coming from multiple authors), and of course to prevent
accidentally overwriting another user’s changes with older content. These are often
never problems for many users, and you should likely be communicating with your 
fellow editors when making changes anyway. This plugin makes the choice of relying
on the latter rather than post locking, so you may run into those problems again.

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `disable-post-locking` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
     
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
