Great plugin! I used to apply password protection via Plesk (HTTP Auth) to shield my playgrounds. But now I am in a situation where that affects what I am doing in the backend. Creating a site with Cwicly, which starts puking when you use HTTP Auth, unless you know how to whitelist your server, which I don’t. I’m not a hoster. Maintenance Redirect is the PERFECT solution. Simple to set up, no screaming “buy our pro” messages (there is no pro, as far as I know).
Dear developers, tell me, how can I buy you coffee?

It works well and does not have a premium offering. The link generation feature is super useful. There was an issue recently with PHP 8.x and it was fixed quite quickly. Thanks, Peter!

This plugin is great. I’ve used various other ‘coming soon’ type plugins and this is the best. It allows me to easily show clients their website before launch, and work on a site with the public seeing a custom holding page. And it’s light, free, and well-updated. I will be using this again.

I’ve been using this plugin for years and it’s been working perfectly.
I really enjoy the ability to keep working on a website while it’s out for maintenance, and let either everyone on our network to do so (useful when testing from various clients such as PCs, iPad etc) or selected testers from outside our organisation (different IP address) to access it as well.
The new 1.8.1 version has a handy feature that allows to add the current IP address with a single click, which is useful as our host doesn’t give us a fixed IP, so I have to do this everytime I’m about to switch maintenance mode on.
The plugin is great when initially designing a site, before it’s open to the wider public but we need to allow access to a few usewrs to test it/provide feedback, and it’s still very useful when we have to take the site off for maintenance, for example when we moved hosting recently.
It also provides various ways to customise the “maintenance” message, from super quick and easy to more sophisticated.
I needed support recently as there was a minor glitch on a new release, and it was explained and fixed right away.
Overall, it’s a great plugin, with great support, and it’s free.
Many thanks to the author for taking the time to maintain it and for sharing it with us.

This tool is great, it allows you to redirect an entire wordpress while still allowing users to login to /wp-admin. It even allows for ?paramaters in the external url, many plugins I tried strip these….

Works perfectly. Nobody needs to visit a MainWP site except me so a redirect is perfect.

Congratulations for taking this on from Jack, it is the best thought out plugin for working on a new installation, I’ve missed it!
Thanks

I appreciate the option to allow any # of specified IP addresses to bypass the redirect. Helpful during development.

Even though this hasn’t been updated, it’s an excellent plugin and I use it on all my sites. Love the fact that you can share an access key with a client (best to mail it to yourself and then send them the link so it doesn’t get caught in their junk mail). Two thumbs up from me!!

Thanks so much for this fab plugin. I really hope you get time to update it though. I am getting the debug error ‘ Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead…’
All the best!

This is the only plugin I use as a Maintenance mode or redirect page while I am building sites. As a web designer, I use this on almost all of my client websites and find it pivotal. Simple to use and easy to setup, enable or disable quickly.

I use this on all development sites as it’s the only one I’ve come across that gives you access keys to send to a client to allow them to see the site without having to give them an account.
Absolutely essential to the point that its full functionality should be included in the core WP (sorry Jack!)

I love this plugin.
please update this plugin – it works fine now but i’d love to see more people use your great tool and of course you can’t be found since you are more than 2 years behind on updates.

Hi All
Though not updated in long time, I’ve used it through WP 3.4 and its working just fine. Love the access key backend for clients to view when needed etc.
Also using Headway as framework and no issues there. Installing on 3.5.1 today.

So far it has been a reliable plugin to use. Have never had any issues with Wp version upgrades.
