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.

It worked, but it was impossible to login

5 June 2023
It worked, but it was impossible to login. I even tried to empty the memcache that I use. Still didn't work. I wonder where the login credentials were sent. Unfortunately a waste of time. Another thing I didn't like was to just get flashed with the three pricing plans directly without even having used the plugin. When I went to the plugin settings, that came up. Very annoying. If it at least was after a week of using it. I wouldn't recommend anyone to download this. It seem to add problems above the single problem that it needs to solve.I had ChatGPT create a maintenance mode plugin for me instead, a very simple one but it worked. Here is the prompt:"Please write me the full source code for a Wordpress plugin that handles maintenance mode on and off. When it is on, the user will be redirected to another page where there will be only a red text in the middle of the page saying that the site is in maintenance mode and only admins can access the site. If the plugin is disabled, then it shouldn't be seen for normal users."

Parfait !

La version gratuite me suffit. La prise en main est immédiate et en à peine 2 minutes, mon site est en maintenance avec une superbe page d'accueil personnalisée.

Don’t bother download it

It was great in the past. But latest versions, besides being basically a big ad, it doesn't even work. There's the toggle switch and it does nothing!

The plugin has revealed all our links to the admin panel

24 March 2023
I am very angry! I spent half a day trying to figure out what was going on. Wherever your plugin was, it rewrote the links at the login pages for users to recover passwords. He revealed all our hidden links for the admin panel, offering users to restore their password through them. Moreover, they are constantly trying to hack websites from India and are looking for access to your plugin. Doesn't even deserve 1 star.
