FAQ

Who is this plugin for?

For anyone who wants to display a under construction / maintenance page while they’re doing work on their site.

Will this plugin slow my site down?

Absolutely not.

Will it work on my theme?

Sure! Under construction works 100% with all themes.

Will it work with my plugins?

Sure! It works 100% with all plugins.

What changes will it make to my site?

None. Once you disable the under construction page your site will function as it did before.

It’s not working!!! Arrrrrrrrr

We did our very best to make Under Construction compatible with all plugins and themes, but problems can still happen. No worries, head over to the support forum open a new thread, and we’ll help you ASAP.

How can I work on my site while under construction mode is enabled?

Make sure your user role (probably admin) is selected under Access – Whitelisted User Roles option and open the site while logged in.

How can I log in / access WordPress admin after under construction mode has been enabled?

Enable the Login Button option (found in Content tab), and a login link will be shown in the lower right corner of the under construction page.

How do I add my logo to the page?

Head over to the Content tab and click “Add Media”. Upload/select the logo, position it as you see fit and add other content.

I’ve made changes to UCP, but they are not visible. What do I do?

Click “Save Changes” one more time. Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn’t help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it.

How can I get more designs? Where do I download them?

We update the plugin every 7-10 days and each update comes with at least one new theme/design. There is no other way to get more designs nor a place to download them.

How can I edit designs?

There is an option to add custom CSS. If you want more than that you will have to edit the source files located in /under-construction-page/themes/.

I have disabled UCP but the under construction page is still visible. How do I remove it?

Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn’t help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it. If that fails too contact your hosting provider and ask them to empty the site cache for you.

Is UCP compatible with caching plugins?

UCP is compatible with all caching plugins. However, please note that we automatically empty cache when UCP status is changed only for the following plugins: W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Endurance Page Cache, SiteGround SuperCacher and WP Fastest Cache.

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.

Reviews

As a PRO user: Switch to CMP plugin

Eduardo Sans August 26, 2024

I normally don’t leave such harsh reviews but man! is this bad. I make sites for a living so I take this very seriously. I made the mistake of buying the lifetime license (oh my god) and let me give you a crash course of my experience on working over approximately 20 sites this last year: 1- Design breaking inside the page when enabling the plugin (there is a bug when interacting with Elements in Generatepress Pro). Imagine the implications: clients complaining about design magically looking different, etc… A definite red flag that has a very random behavior (sometimes it breaks, sometimes it doesn’t, just like that). 2- Cookie notice popping up in front of the “Under construction” page -instead of hiding it- (you’ll find the same issue if you use CookieYes plugin)3- I asked support to review all these issues… and let me tell you, support sucks, the worst I had in a paid plugin. You know the kind of perdon that “kind of” reads whatever you send him and then they half-answer you with lies? well, his response was: “this is a third party plugin issue”… YES… of course, a third party plugin that crushes with your crappy old code. 4- Also, check the changelog (one or two updates per year, that already tells you a lot about the work put behind). All in all, don’t make my mistake. This is what I did: Switch to CMP (Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin) that is FREE (with no PRO or paid version). Once installed, it automatically solved all the issues with Generatepress and CookieYes from the get go. On top of that, offers way more customization and options are 10 times better. I guess that in the end, this was not a “third party plugin issue” huh Ivan? Lol

Deprecation causes fatal error

Ingo Steinke (openmindculture) July 23, 2024

Tested on localhost first: most options are only in paid version, and activating the under contruction mode breaks the site with a fatal error message (“White Screen of Death”) with certain PHP 8 configurations. Don’t use this plugin!

Falla y caro

infomanuelr June 19, 2024

El plugin me ha fallado a las primeras de cambio cuando he intentado editar una cosa con Elementor. Encima, tiene muchas cosas de pago, prefieron otras opciones que al menos no te dan incompatibilidades

Super fast Support, data protection compliant, Thanks!

Brisch April 16, 2024 1 reply

It should really be data protection compliant, no external libraries outside the EU will be loaded.

Google Analytics Tracking is Expired

beansbaxter April 3, 2024

Installed but the Settings page only accepts the older, outdated Google Universal Analytics, which Google stopped over a year ago. This plugin needs to be updated to accept the current Google Analytics. Don’t understand why something so simple can be overlooked.

All is PRO here

caapri March 9, 2024

Almost all is paid, i am sorry by i recommend another plugin with a lot of possibilities, like secret link (no pro!) : CMP CMP – Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin
