WP Maintenance Mode

By Designmodo

Description

Add a maintenance page to your blog that lets visitors know your blog is down for maintenance, or add a coming soon page for a new website. User with admin rights gets full access to the blog including the front end.

Activate the plugin and your blog is in maintenance-mode, works and only registered users with enough rights can see the front end. You can use a date with a countdown timer for visitor information or set a value and unit for information.

Also works with WordPress Multisite installs (each blog from the network has it’s own maintenance settings).

Features

  • Fully customizable (change colors, texts and backgrounds);
  • Subscription form (export emails to .csv file);
  • Countdown timer (remaining time);
  • Contact form (receive emails from visitors);
  • Coming soon page;
  • Landing page templates;
  • WordPress multisite;
  • Responsive design;
  • Social media icons;
  • Works with any WordPress theme;
  • SEO options;
  • Exclude URLs from maintenance;
  • Bot functionality to collect the emails in a friendly and efficient way;
  • GDPR Ready;

FAQ

How to use plugin filters

Cache Plugin Support

WP Maintenance Mode can be unstable due to the cache plugins; we recommend deactivating any cache plugin when maintenance mode is active. If you really want to use a cache plugin, make sure you delete the entire cache after each change.

Exclude list

If you change your login url, please add the new slug (url: http://domain.com/newlogin, then you should add: newlogin) to Exclude list from plugin settings -> General Tab.

Notice: wp-cron.php is excluded by default.

Reviews

Great features and easy to use

August 3, 2021
Super impressed by this little plugin. Good UI tips plus the perfect set of features, with a countdown timer, a subscriber function for notifications when the site is back up, and the ability to set a background. Had it all set up in 5 minutes and didn't interfere with admin access to the front end while I worked in the back end. Bravo!
