Maintenance Mode for WordPress – Making Waiting Easy

Maintenance Mode for WordPress – Making Waiting Easy

If you’re working on a website, you might not want others to see it during that early time. However, working on a server and sharing progress with clients can sometimes be useful. The plugin Maintenance Mode for WordPress by Robert DeVore aims to solve this problem. While this isn’t a unique feature, what sets this plugin apart is its lack of ads, annoying upsells, or other inconveniences. Instead, it focuses on the essential functionality of creating Coming Soon pages – exactly as it should.

After a manual installation via GitHub, the plugin adds an additional Maintenance entry to the admin menu. Within this Custom Post Type, you can create custom Coming Soon pages using the block editor.

Once created, entries can be selected and activated under Maintenance / Settings. Additionally, the plugin requires a launch date, after which the Coming Soon page will be deactivated.

There’s not much else to do or see. These are all the features of the plugin.

The plugin is currently only available on GitHub.
