Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

Description

This super lightweight plugin is intended primarily for developers , designers and site administrators that need to allow clients to preview site before being available to the general public or to temporarily hide it while undergoing major updates.

Any logged in user with WordPress administrator privileges will be allowed to view the site regardless of the settings in the plugin. The exact privilege can be set using a filter hook – see FAQs.

The behaviour of this can be enabled or disabled at any time without losing any of settings configured in its settings pane. However, deactivating the plugin is recommended versus having it activated while disabled.

When redirect is enabled it can send a different header types.

A list of IP addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. This option is useful when needing to allow a client’s entire office to access the site while in maintenance mode without needing to maintain individual access keys.

Access keys work by creating a key on the user’s computer that will be checked against when maintenance mode is active. When a new key is created, a link to create the access key cookie will be emailed to the email address provided. Access can then be revoked either by disabling or deleting the key.

Whitelisted User Roles – user roles who see the site, instead of under maintenance page

FAQ

How can I bypass the redirect programatically ?

There is a filter which allows you to programatically bypass the redirection block:

wploti_matches

This allows you to run pretty much any test you like, although be aware that the whole redirection thing runs before the $post global is set up, so WordPress conditionals such as is_post() and is_tax() are not available.

This example looks in the $_SERVER global to see if any part of the URL contains “hello-world” ( default wordpress post for example )

function my_wploti_matches( $wploti_matches ) {
    if ( stristr( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'hello-world' ) ) 
        $wploti_matches[] = "<!-- hello-world -->";
    return $wploti_matches;
}
add_filter( "wploti_matches", "my_wploti_matches" );

You can follow the same process for pages, posts, categories, taxonomies, custom post types ,etc.

How can I let my logged-in user see the front end ?

By default, Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation uses the manage_options capability, but that is normally only applied to administrators. As it stands, a user with a lesser permissions level, such as editor, is able to view the admin side of the site, but not the front end. You can change this using this filter :

wploti_user_can

This filter is used to pass a different WordPress capability to check if the logged-in user has permission to view the site and thus bypass the redirection, such as edit_posts. Note that this is run before $post is set up, so WordPress conditionals such as is_post() and is_tax() are not available. However, it’s not really meant for programatically determining whether a user should have access, but rather just changing the default capability to be tested, so you don’t really need to do anything other than the example below.

function my_wploti_user_can( $capability ) {
    return "edit_posts";
}
add_filter( "wploti_user_can", "my_wploti_user_can" );
