<p><strong>Simple Maintenance Redirect</strong> allows site administrators to enable maintenance mode by redirecting visitors to one of your specified pages (without header and footer) or an external URL instead of complicating things with all kinds of confusing settings. Logged-in administrators can still access the site normally, ensuring a seamless workflow while updates are made.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Custom Maintenance Page:</strong> Redirects visitors to a selected WordPress page while the site is in maintenance mode.</li>
<li><strong>Maintenance Page Modifications:</strong> Automatically hides the header and footer on the maintenance page and adds a <code>maintenance-mode</code> class to the body element for further customization.</li>
<li><strong>External Redirect Option:</strong> Redirect to an external URL instead of a WordPress page if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Admin Bypass:</strong> Logged-in administrators can continue working on the site without redirection.</li>
<li><strong>Developer Hook:</strong> Modify rules for when a user should be redirected.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create and publish a page with your custom maintenance message.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings > General</strong> and choose a <strong>Maintenance Mode Page</strong> or enter an <strong>External URL</strong>.</li>
<li>When enabled, visitors will be redirected to the selected page or URL. Logged-in administrators can still access the site.</li>
<li>The plugin does not affect the login page, REST API, or JSON endpoints.</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is great for “coming soon” pages, staging site protection, design previews, or any situation where you need to hide the main site while keeping access for yourself.</p>

<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin uses Google reCAPTCHA to enhance security and prevent automated bots from bypassing the maintenance mode restriction.</p>
<h3>What data is sent and when?</h3>
<p>When a user submits the unlock form, the plugin sends the following data to Google’s reCAPTCHA API:<br />
– The user’s reCAPTCHA response token.<br />
– The user’s IP address (sent automatically by Google’s API).<br />
– The action associated with the reCAPTCHA verification.</p>
<h3>Why is this data sent?</h3>
<p>The data is required for Google reCAPTCHA to assess the likelihood that the form submission is performed by a human user. The plugin uses this verification to help prevent automated access attempts.</p>
<h3>Where is the data sent?</h3>
<p>The data is transmitted to <strong>Google’s reCAPTCHA servers</strong> for verification.</p>
