Hello
Within your Advanced Settings you state:
For custom stylesheet, add ‘maintenance.min.css’ file to your theme folder. If your custom stylesheet file is picked up by the Maintenance Mode, it will be indicated here.
I wished to test css on a Hueman theme.
What do I actually do?
Sorry for the newbie question.
Thanks

I am using your plugin and it’s great!
Now i would like to show the client the website without deactivating the maintenance mode. But only administrators can see the site. He is not in that role. Can i give other roles / users acces?
That would be a great addon to this plugin.
Thank you in advanced!
]]>This has always been my favorite Maintenance mode plugin, without the unnecessary (commercial) stuf added by other plugins. But it doesn’t seem to work anymore :(. An update would be very welcome for this fine plugin.
]]>After WordPress Auto-Updates itself, I can not longer login, the wp-login-php page shows the maintenance page, even if I disabled the plugin by renaming the folder.
]]>Hi Lukas,
Could you please add me as a ‘Support Rep’ for the ‘Maintenance Mode’ plugin?

Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

I set the whole website https://www.selbst-st?rkung.at in Maintenance Modus for approx. 2 Month.
After this i lost all my google rankings – ok
But – than i had a look at google search console -> many pages got a Server error and are therefore they are out of the google index. This happens from the moment of usign the Mainenance Plugin. With ongoing time, more and morde pages fall out of the index.
But some pages are still in the index. This cannot be a server error. If i inspect the pages (URL inspect) -> message appears that it can be indexed – set the on list.
This behaviour is since used this Maintenance plugin
Any idea?
Placing a picture in maintenance does not appear on the website
]]>I am wondering if you plan on updating it or if you are done maintaining it. Love your software. Thanks!
]]>Can I use a background video for the maintenance mode in your plugin?
]]>This is my go to coming soon plugin, love it. I am wondering if you plan on updating it or if you are done maintaining it. Thanks
]]>I’m getting the error “Missing Attachment” when activating the maintenance mode instead of the maintenance message.
]]>Yours is my favoriate maintenance mode plugin. It does what it should and it’s not loaded with extra “crap”, nonsense and confusing settings. It does what it should and not much else. Please update it?
]]>Hello everyone!
I’m currently building my maintenance page and wondered if there was a way to reuse the favicon enabled by wordpress>customize>site identity and so on.
If that’s not a possibility should I just put it in the head of
the maintenance-page?
Thank you very much, Alex
]]>Hmm, I may have just figured out why. The main URL redirects to a /2013/ directory.
]]>Hello.
Is there a way to change the information in the <head> tag? Especially change the information of <meta name=”robots”> and add additional meta tags? This is not possible via functions.php, because of the plugin theres no theme with this file loaded?
]]>Hi Lukas,
With WP 5 there is a problem with the plug-in. It gives on the front-end when enabled the plug-in a 503 service unavailable error.
I don’t know why.
The back-end I can normal see.
I use your plug-in for at least a year now and I love it.
What could be the problem?
]]>Hello
Is there any work-around to stop the annoying problems with Maintenance Mode that break (and erase) custom added html code?
]]>First time using this plugin – used dozens of MM plugins for years, and for some reason (all caches are cleared/disabled, cloudflare in developer mode) even with the plugin disabled – i’m unable to access the frontend of the site and just get redirected to my coming soon page.
Not psyched about this.
]]>Hello,
I am using this plugin for about three years.
It works fine!
I have one question.
I logged in to my WP site as administrator by Chrome and set Maintenance Mode enabled.
Then I opened my site by FireFox(not logged in), Maintenance Mode did not work and I could open my site.
Is this normal behavior ?
Previously, in this case, I feel like that the Maintenance Mode was enabled to the access from non login user.
Did you change the behavior of Maintenance Mode plugin or my understanding is wrong?
Any idea why the plugin won’t affect the frontpage until apache is rebooted?
Thanks!

]]>I see that you were working towards Contact From 7 shortcode compatibility almost one year ago. I’m just wondering if that option is now available?
Is it possible to add a Contact Form 7 shortcode, either into the HTML code editor, or into one of the widget areas?
]]>I have 2 minor suggestions I make locally to your awesome plugin, that fixes the only 2 issues we always have.
1) Line breaks not respected.
– In your get_content() method (line 534) of lj-maintenance-mode.php you are using wpautop, but not nl2br. Because you are not using the WordPress get_content, you are losing the line breaks. To fix this simply put nl2br after the wpautop line e.g.
$content = apply_filters(‘wpautop’, $content);
$content = nl2br($content);
2) No html wrapper
– Styling the css is limited because you don’t wrap the content in a div wrapper. If you were to wrap all the content in a div wrap (or even 2 would be better), then the styling possibilities would be far greater. e.g. we usually want our maintenance page to be a logo with contact details, center aligned vertical and horizontal. Without a div wrapper this is not possible.
– An easy solution is this (line 560):
return ‘<div class=”maintenance-wrapper”>’ . $analytify . $code . $stylesheet . $widget_before . $content . $widget_after . ‘</div>’;
Thanks for such an aweosme plugin, I appreciate the simplicity!!
]]>Hi,
I just upgraded to 4.9.8 today and this plugin seems to have stopped working. I can no longer view the front end of the site in any user role.
]]>Hello Lukas,
your plugin does what it says and does so reliably.
But recently the wp login window gets in the way when logged out, cache cleared and maintenance turned on.
Any takers? Your help much appreciated, since I use your maintenance plugin to invite users to participate.
Thank you,
Mark
Hi Lukas,
I have been using your fab plugin with no issues for a number of years. Great very reliable plugin.
I couple days ago, when I finally switched the server to use php7, maintenance page is no longer showing and the wp login window took over.
Any advice on how to get maintenance mode back into maintenance swing?
Should I switch to php 7.2? Can’t go below 7 since further functions insist on php7.
Thank you for the plugin.
I look forward to your advice,
Mark
I need to upgrade our MySQL version and I’ve got the ok to do so if Maintenance Mode page will show while MySQL server is stopped. I would assume it would throw like a 500 error but was hoping to be surprised in that this plugin will show a maintenance page while MySQL is stopped and being upgraded.
Running WordPress On Windows Server2012, sites through IIS.
Thanks!
Hi, I just installed this plugin, and I really like it so far for its simplicity, and the fact that it uses the native WordPress maintenance mode function.
However, I noticed that the HTML that is generated on the front page, is all wrapped inside a <p> tag, as follows:
<body id="error-page">
<p><img src="https://www.example.com/logo.png" />
<h1>Website Under Maintenance</h1>
This website is currently undergoing maintenance. Please check back soon.</p></body>This is, of course, not correct HTML. The <p> tags should be around the last line of text, but not around the IMG or H1 tags.
What’s more, if I add a paragraph break to the text, so that there is more text in a 2nd paragraph, the output doesn’t include any new <p> tag around it. It looks like this:
<body id="error-page">
<p><img src="https://www.example.com/logo.png" />
<h1>Website Under Maintenance</h1>
This website is currently undergoing maintenance. Please check back soon.
This is a new paragraph, but it won't appear as one because it doesn't have a new 'p' tag.</p></body>Is this something caused by your plugin, or by WordPress itself?
]]>Hello,
after having upgraded to everything latest, lj-maintenance-mode crashed :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /[…]/wp-content/plugins/lj-maintenance-mode/lj-maintenance-mode.php on line 442
I checked the code, everything seems fine.
I’m hosted at OVH on mutualized server, I don’t think they have upgraded PHP or updated options.
I searched for the error on duckduckgo, and many failing websites are coming up with the same error.
Do you know what could be the origin of that crash ?
Regards,
Been using this plugin for years and thank you!
I do see you’ve added Roles. How can I enable a front-end user (contributor?) to see the website before launch without admin access?
Thanks!!

Hi,
Thanks for this great plugin!
I’m wondering if this a solution for blocking search engines? My site is under development and I currently have a browser level password on the website directory to keep it private during development (avoid SEO penalties, etc..). I’ve had situations in the past where robots.txt has not effectively blocked search engines so I just set a root level password on the site directory until I’m ready to go live.
My situation now is I want to use an hourly backup system (Vaultpress) to help me with development and that requires that I disable the browser password – which means I would opening the site up to the search engines.
This plugin could be a great solution, but I don’t want the search engines crawling anything.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
