Your WordPress site's emergency airbag — free

Every WordPress site will crash at some point — a bad plugin update, a theme conflict, a fatal PHP error. And when it does, your entire site goes down and the admin panel locks you out.

NaveenCodes Safe Mode is a silent guardian that catches crashes before they take down your site.

The moment a fatal error happens, Safe Mode:

✅ Identifies whether the crash came from a plugin or theme
✅ Automatically disables the broken plugin — or switches to a backup theme
✅ Logs the exact error, file, and line number
✅ Sends you an instant email alert
✅ Shows a recovery notice in your admin dashboard
New in v1.1.0 — Theme Snapshot: Safe Mode now takes a full copy of your active theme on activation. If your theme crashes, it switches to this exact backup instead of a generic fallback. One click to restore the original once you've fixed the issue.

100% free. No accounts. No upsells. No data leaves your server.

Built for freelancers, agencies, and anyone who has ever woken up to a panicked "the site is down" message.
