FAQ

I have activated plugin and don’t see any changes, looks like plugin is not working.

Try to check in different browser. If you a logged as WordPress user you see the website in normal mode.

Will my site remain visible to search engines while maintenance mode is on?

The site will not be visible to search engines only if “503 Service Temporarily Unavailable” option is enabled.

Where can I find out the username and password to get to the site?

You can use your “normal” WP administrator access or create a new user in WordPress dashboard – Users.

If I incorrectly write a login and password I will see the error on the page wp-login?

No, it will be display error on current maintenance page, without redirect to wp-login page.

I haven’t found an answer to my question, what should I do?

Please post the question on the support forum.

Great plugin

21 November 2023
This plugin was so easy to configure and have up and running in under 5 minutes.

Garbage

8 November 2023
you cant change the layout without paying for a pro, but dont worry there is going to be HUGE adds in the admin are once you install this to remind you about that

Great, But DO NOT Enable Mode on Plugin Activate

31 October 2023
This is a great, lightweight plugin to use for a simple maintenance mode page. It allows you to change the background image, add your logo, and customize the text. That's all a maintenance page needs. However! DO NOT enable maintenance mode when you ACTIVATE the plugin. It will show the default template, then you have to quickly go in an disable the mode. If I do that on my live site, people will see it and I'll need to quickly disable it and clear my site cache... I saw a previous review saying the same thing and the developer said people were asking for it... Okay, so! As a developer myself of 10 years, enabling the maintenance mode on plugin activation is NOT SMART. Those who asked for the feature are NOT SMART. There is a simple on and off toggle in the settings, exactly where it should be. Activate, configure settings, THEN enable maintenance mode.

Do not buy the Pro Version of this plugin

5 September 2023
Pro Version costs a lot of money and is not working at all. They say it is responsive but actually you will have to work a lot to become themes responsive! Video Background is not working neither. Buttons are there but they will not work, especially the support button! The support is not telling the truth until you ask 5 times! They will not give you back the money neither telling you that after 7 days it is not possible the reimburse... As an agency we believe that we should maintain a certain honesty on this platform!!!
