<p>A flexible admin & frontend maintenance plugin for WordPress.</p>
<p>Display a non-dismissible banner across the admin area to notify users of upcoming maintenance windows — and optionally replace the <strong>public site</strong> with a fully customizable maintenance page (WordPress page, custom HTML, or template file).</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Admin notice visible to all or selected roles</li>
<li>Configurable date/time window (<code>from</code>/<code>to</code>)</li>
<li>Free text with placeholders: <code>{DATE}</code>, <code>{FROM}</code>, <code>{TO}</code>, <code>{TZ}</code>, <code>{WEEKDAY}</code>, <code>{DATE_TO}</code>, <code>{WEEKDAY_TO}</code>, <code>{DATETIME_FROM}</code>, <code>{DATETIME_TO}</code></li>
<li>Frontend maintenance mode:
<ul>
<li>WordPress page mode</li>
<li>Custom HTML block</li>
<li>Template file (in <code>/assets/maintenance/templates/</code>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Optional bypass for logged-in users</li>
<li>Multisite-safe uninstall</li>
<li>Fully translatable (<code>Text Domain: admin-maintance-msg</code>)</li>
</ul>
<p>Configure under <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Wartungshinweis</strong>.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h3>1. Aktivierung und Zugriff</h3>
<p>Nach der Installation findest du den Menüpunkt unter:<br />
<strong>Einstellungen <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Wartungshinweis</strong></p>
<p>Hier kannst du das Verhalten des Plugins vollständig steuern.</p>
<h3>2. Admin-Warnleiste (Dashboard-Hinweis)</h3>
<p>Diese Leiste wird oben im WordPress-Dashboard angezeigt, für alle oder ausgewählte Benutzerrollen.</p>
<p><strong>Einstellungen:</strong><br />
– <strong>Wartung aktiv (Checkbox):</strong> Zeigt den Hinweis sofort an, auch außerhalb eines Zeitfensters.<br />
– <strong>Von / Bis (Datum + Uhrzeit):</strong> Optionales Zeitfenster, innerhalb dessen der Hinweis automatisch aktiv ist.<br />
– <strong>Nachricht:</strong> Freitext oder Vorlage mit Platzhaltern:<br />
  – <code>{WEEKDAY}</code>, <code>{DATE}</code>, <code>{FROM}</code>, <code>{TO}</code>, <code>{TZ}</code><br />
  – <code>{DATETIME_FROM}</code>, <code>{DATETIME_TO}</code>, <code>{WEEKDAY_TO}</code>, <code>{DATE_TO}</code><br />
– <strong>Sichtbar für Rollen:</strong> Bestimme, welche Rollen die Nachricht sehen (z. B. nur Administratoren oder Redakteure).</p>
<p>💡 <em>Wenn kein Text eingegeben ist, erzeugt das Plugin automatisch eine Standardmeldung auf Basis des Zeitfensters.</em></p>
<h3>3. Frontend-Wartungsmodus</h3>
<p>Wenn aktiviert, ersetzt das Plugin deine öffentliche Website während der Wartungszeit durch eine <strong>Maintenance Landingpage</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Einstellungen:</strong><br />
– <strong>Frontend Maintenance aktiv:</strong> Schaltet den Modus ein.<br />
– <strong>Bypass für eingeloggte Nutzer:</strong> erlaubt angemeldeten Benutzern, die Seite weiterhin normal zu sehen.<br />
– <strong>Landingpage-Modus:</strong><br />
  1. <strong>WordPress-Seite:</strong> Nutzt den Inhalt einer bestehenden Seite (Dropdown-Auswahl).<br />
  2. <strong>Custom HTML:</strong> Du kannst eine eigene HTML-Struktur direkt im Textfeld hinterlegen.<br />
  3. <strong>Template-Datei:</strong> Wähle eine HTML-Datei aus dem Plugin-Verzeichnis (<code>assets/maintenance/templates/</code>).</p>
<p>💡 <em>Das Standard-Template <code>default.html</code> zeigt Titel, Nachricht und Zeitraum automatisch an.</em></p>
<h3>4. Templates anpassen</h3>
<p>Eigene Templates kannst du einfach ergänzen:</p>
<ol>
<li>Erstelle im Verzeichnis <code>/assets/maintenance/templates/</code> eine Datei, z. B. <code>blue-theme.html</code>.</li>
<li>Verwende Platzhalter für dynamische Inhalte:
<ul>
<li><code>{{TITLE}}</code>, <code>{{MESSAGE}}</code>, <code>{{SITE_NAME}}</code>, <code>{{WINDOW}}</code></li>
<li><code>{{FROM}}</code>, <code>{{TO}}</code>, <code>{{DATE}}</code>, <code>{{DATE_TO}}</code>, <code>{{TZ}}</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Füge eigene CSS-Dateien unter <code>/assets/maintenance/css/</code> hinzu und binde sie im Template mit <code><link></code> ein.</li>
</ol>
<h3>5. Verhalten und Priorität</h3>
<p>Das Plugin aktiviert die Frontend-Wartung, wenn:<br />
– „Frontend Maintenance aktiv“ <strong>oder</strong><br />
– ein gültiges <strong>Von/Bis-Zeitfenster</strong> aktiv ist.</p>
<p>Während dieser Zeit:<br />
– wird HTTP <strong>503 (Service Unavailable)</strong> gesendet,<br />
– ein <code>Retry-After</code> Header gesetzt,<br />
– und <code>noindex, nofollow</code> Meta-Tags ausgegeben (SEO-freundlich).</p>
<p>Nach Ablauf oder Deaktivierung wird die normale Seite automatisch wieder angezeigt.</p>
<h3>6. Deinstallation</h3>
<p>Beim Entfernen über „Plugins <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Deinstallieren“:<br />
– werden alle Optionen (<code>ammsg_options</code>, alte <code>ck_admin_maintenance_opts</code>) gelöscht,<br />
– in Multisite-Umgebungen automatisch für alle Sites bereinigt.</p>
<h3>7. Tipps & Best Practices</h3>
<ul>
<li>Verwende <strong>UTC+X Zeitzonen</strong> bewusst – die Pluginzeiten richten sich nach der WordPress-Zeitzone.</li>
<li>Wenn du Templates bearbeitest, achte auf <strong>UTF-8 ohne BOM</strong>.</li>
<li>Du kannst über Filter eigene Verhalten ergänzen:
<ul>
<li><code>ammsg_uninstall_option_keys</code> – eigene Optionen löschen</li>
<li><code>ammsg_frontend_template_replacements</code> – Platzhalter erweitern</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Popups for WooCommerce: Add to Cart, Checkout & More

I had a problem with users who did not notice the error messages and now it explodes on the screen and does not go unnoticed.

Shows more beautiful messages

Nice and easy. It does hide the original messages w/o the Pro version. Not sure what that other reviewer experienced, but my admin section has that option. Easy to style if you scope your CSS properly (adding a body class to your theme for example). 

Excellent!!!!

Make your WooCommerce Notices (sucess, info, and error) more visible to your customers by turning them into popups
