Display a fully customisable coming soon and maintenance page to your WordPress site. Use the basic pages provided by the plugin or add your own template to your child theme.
No complicated settings, and no visual builders. Just a straightforward one-button setup so you can focus on building your website.
The plugin also blocks access via the REST API and via XML-RPC so users can’t jump to see what you are building.
<h4>Full Options</h4>
<ul>
<li>None – Doesn’t block access to the site</li>
<li>Blank Screen – Only displays a white screen</li>
<li>Maintenance Mode – Displays maintenance mode text (Editable via the “Maintenance Mode Options” page in settings)</li>
<li>Basic Message – Displays a basic message (Editable via the “Basic Message Options” page in settings)</li>
<li>Use Template – Displays a template file defined in your theme called <code>coming_soon.php</code></li>
<li>Login Screen – Redirects all requests to the login screen</li>
</ul>
