Hi there,

The plugin (which is great by the way, thanks a lot for your work) has been taken out of wordpress a week ago and there is no sign of it coming back on. Is it safe to keep the plugin installed, even disabled, or should we uninstall it until the review is complete?

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

I really like your plugin and I’ll translate it into german in the next days.

But there is one thing: Could you please add the option to whitelist Full Qualified Domain Names like “mydomain.dyndns.org”.

It would make thinks lots easier for developers to whitelist the Dynamic DNS Name if you don’t have a fixed IP Address. Until now, I have to change the IP Address manually if my DSL Modem gets a new one after some days.

Hi Peter,

Please let me know how to fix my website!!

I installed this plugin a few days ago. But now there is no way to turn off maintenance mode.

It always automatically redirects in the html that was set before.

Disabling the plugin or uninstalling the plugin does not solve the problem.

What should I do to get my site back to how it was before installing this plugin?

I just left a one star review on the store. This is just to bring your attention to my question. I will change it later.

THANK YOU!!

Keep getting the error “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”. I’m using redirect option to a page I created in Divi.

After updating the plugin from v1.8.1 to v1.8.2, I got a fatal error that I couldn’t get around without deleting the plugin through FTP.

This is the error in the log:

PHP Warning: Undefined array key 1 in /home/myuser/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jf3-maintenance-mode/wpjf3_maintenance_redirect.php on line 225
PHP Warning: Undefined array key 2 in /home/myuser/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jf3-maintenance-mode/wpjf3_maintenance_redirect.php on line 225

What could be the issue?

I created a key to access the site, and the link with de key don’t go to my e-mail. There is an example of the link to change the key?

Hi there,

First of all, thanks a lot for this plugin. I’ve been using it for years and it’s always worked flawlessly.

However, V1.8 just released doesn’t seem to work for me. When installed, I can’t enable maintenance mode or save any settings, the “save” button has no effect and seems to expect me to enter a new contact for a key.

If I revert to V1.7, all goes back to normal and works fine.

Not sure if it’s just me or if anyone else experiences this.

I’m still on WordPress 5.9.3 in case it matters, hosted on Cloudways. The site also uses WP-Rocket (Cache disabled for admins) and Redis Pro, in case it matters.

Thanks for looking into this, the new feature to add the current IP address seems very nice ??

Will this plugin work in WP 6.0?

It was fine until upgrade to latest version of WordPress 5.9. Unrestricted IP addresses not working.

Hi, awesome tool. Use it on all my developments!

Just installed it on a clean wordpress “multisite”. Redirect working fine. However I am unable to create an access key.

Error shown: “Unable to add Access Key because of a database error. Please reload the page.”

– Is this plugin not multisite compatible?

Regards, Thomas

Hi Peter,

Thanks for making this simple yet powerful plugin. Exactly what I was looking for. I had it working yesterday. Only logged in admins or users from specific IP could access. Other users got the maintenance message (message only). All good. Although I did notice that maintenance message took a while to load.

Today however, no maintenance message is showing anymore. Seems the server is timing out when accessing with an IP that’s not in the unrestricted list. When accessing with unrestricted IP, load time is normal.

Any thoughts?

Cheers and thanks,
Guido

IPv6 adresses are used more and more often. It would be great if this plugin could deal with them. For now, the plugin gives warnings with IPv6 on both backend and frontend.

To validate if you are facing with IPv4, you could use :
filter_var($this->get_user_ip(), FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV4)

Also, there are tips (see StackOverflow) to convert IPv6 to IPv4.

Hey. I thought everything was working the whole time. But now I notice that the redirect only works when the page is accessed with https://www.meineDomain.com. If I call only mydomain.com, everyone comes in.
Any idea? I’m redirecting to a PHP script by itself that then redirects the visitors.
The real URL of the WordPress site is then in the future also only mydomain.com

When used with Siteground’s dynamic cache, users will not be redirected in some cases. That is, the redirect does not consistently work. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there something I can exclude from the caching to make it work?

Hello there,

I really like your plugin. It’s simple and straightforward.

The mentioned one is the only additional feature (in my opinion), that would be really nice to have.
This way one could create advanced offline page within WP, using G. blocks or whatever page builder he likes.

I’d tried to add some WP content (contact form) with shortcode, using do_shortcode() function, to the php page I’ve created and loaded to the root directory, but it obviously didn’t worked…

So, is there a chance to find the redirect to a specific wp-page option in some future release?

Cheers ??

Hi boys and girls,

I really need some help with this plugin; i created a logo-upload but the site isn’t reachable for public. I’m asking my partners (business) to upload their logo, but the site is on maintance mode. Where can i configure a bypass to that specific page?

Take care and stay strong #COVID-19.

Cheers! Paul

Hi, i have problem with sending the acces key to anybody. What is the wrong with my page?
When i click resend code i get notyfication “Notification Failure. Please check your server settings.”

Hi.

1st
Thanks for a simple useful plug-in … and for supporting Open Source.

– – –

Minor spelling error on your WordPress page for your Plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jf3-maintenance-mode/
A list if IP addresses can be setup …

#1 if should be of
#2 setup should be set up

(noun) ‘setup’ is a thing …
– the setup page
– I finished the install and setup

(verb) ‘set up’ is the action …
– you can set up a list
– I finished setting up the config

Thanks & cheers

I ran this in 503 mode and pingdom came back with a 200 response code on a logged out browser. I am on Version 1.5.3. Does the 503 setting work?

Hey,

I’ve been using this plugin on staging sites (and others). A user created a post on the staging site and copied and pasted its contents to the live site, where the contents contains some hrefs/URLs to the staging site. As an admin, this went unnoticed.

A neat solution would be to allow redirecting from xx.com/page-name/ to redirected.com/page-name with a wildcard specifying what’s after the domain (or site_url()).

Hi,

A plugin I use has a REST API which isn’t under /wp-json/ so I need to exclude its URL from redirecting.

Currently I’m editing the plugin but it’s getting overwritten with updates.

} elseif (stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'pnfw/register') ) {
 $wpjf3_matches[] = "<!-- WPJF_MR: pnfw/register -->";

Could you either add a filter, changing line 153 to:

$wpjf3_matches = apply_filters( 'wpjf3_matches', array() );

which would allow me to add_filter in my functions.php,

or maybe add an option in the settings where I could specify a regex to match.

Thanks!

Hi @petervandoorn,
thank you for maintaining this plug-in. I appreciate the simplicity.
Lines 88 and 255 throw “undefined offset” notices, if no IPv4 is available, then as a result 136, 137, and 142 throw “headers already sent” warnings. I ran into this, in addition to not being able to add myself to the bypass, as my ISP no longer provides an IPv4 at all.
Please make the plug-in IPv6 ready, or at least check for a valid string. Thanks.

Hi,
On one of my multisite I cannot add access key.
It works on the other one.
The error is :
Unable to add Access Key because of a database error. Please reload the page.
Tried to reload, and still the same error
Did not find database error log on my server.
Thanks

I work at a web hosting provider and we change our IP daily. I’m trying to add an IP exception like 111.111.111.* but i’m getting an error IP Address not valid. Is this normal?

I’m asking because next to the title “Unrestricted IP addresses” you mention:
Your IP address is: 123.123.12.12 – Your Class C is: 123.123.12.*

Hi,
I have looked everywhere online but i cant seem to find any documentation on how to set up the Redirection setting : If you want to redirect a user (with no access to Dashboard/Backend) to a URL (different from WordPress Dashboard URL) after login, then define a URL (incl. https://)

I want to be able to let my clients preview their site before going live without having to log-in to main wordpress back-end – is this possible?

I have entered a URL into this section but how do I allow clients to “log-in” or access this URL to view the site? As the URL is not loading at all?

Thanks!

Hello,
I’m trying to use the plugin but when I enable it, the website stops working.

These are the messages I got…

———–

– In Chrome:

"This page isn’t working
www.mywebsite.com redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS"

See here: https://cloud.ehimate.ltd/9982fd97bb81

– In Safari:

See here: https://cloud.ehimate.ltd/a7e662069270

– In Firefox:

"The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to www.mywebsite.com.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

See here: https://cloud.ehimate.ltd/389fea961057

———–

I chose the Redirect option, and I tried pointing it either to the homepage or to another webpage, but the result is exactly the same (too many redirects errors)

The error appears to both un-logged in and logged in users.

I had to disable the plugin in order to have the website working, but I’d like to fix these errors and use the plugin as it’s supposed to work.

Can someone please let me know what the reason could be and how to solve this issue?

Thank you, Matteo

Hey everybody,

I tunred off the maintenance modus of my website two days ago (via the plugin) but still the website is not available in the normal modus…. I don′t have any idea how I can solve this issue.

I am gratefull for any support.

Greeting,

Tom

Hi Jack @jfinch3

I still find your plugin to be the best solution for developing sites and giving the client access. It’s a huge shame that it’s been over 4 years now since you’ve updated it, and it’s now being flagged as abandoned.

I’d very much like to take over the plugin, so I’m following the advice in the Plugins Handbook to reach out to you first, before applying to them to take it over.

Cheers mate

Peter

Is anyone else getting a server error when trying to redirect to another page?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jf3-maintenance-mode/

As it seems this plugin is not beeing maintained anymore but thankfully still works.

It seems only users with administrative rights can view the website after activating the plugin. If you want that all logged in users can view the website follow below:

edit the pluginfile named: “wpjf3_maintenance_redirect.php”

on line: 159 change
if( current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
to
if( current_user_can('edit_posts') ) {

Hope this will be usefull to someone!
