About this plugin
Surf7 Simple Maintenance Mode is a straightforward plugin that allows you to put your WordPress website into maintenance mode with just one click. When maintenance mode is enabled:
- Only logged-in users (any role) can access the frontend.
- Non-logged-in users will either see a predefined message or be redirected to a specific URL.
Features:
- Easy Activation: Enable or disable maintenance mode from the WordPress dashboard.
- Custom Maintenance Message: Set a personalized message to display to visitors.
- Redirect Option: Redirect visitors to another URL if desired.
- Access Control: Only logged-in users can view the site when maintenance mode is active.
Use Cases:
- Performing website updates or maintenance tasks.
- Launching a new website or making significant changes.
- Temporarily restricting access to the public.
The plugin does not connect to any external service and stores nothing beyond a single WordPress option.
