I have used this outstanding plugin for years.
It is simple with no bloatware or nag screens.
Does exactly what I need.
Thank you for this plugin Lukas.
Please consider updating if you have time.
(I find it not working with the latest WP theme 2022-03-23)

… a non-bloated, hassle-free maintenance plugin.
Thank you.

Some people are saying this plugin no longer works. That is not true.
The plugin works fine and is still (as far as I know) the best ‘maintenance mode’ plugin for WordPress.
In order to use it, install and activate.
In the WP Admin Bar (the top bar that runs across the WP admin when you’re signed in) you’ll see a hammer with the word ‘disabled’ next to it.
Hope this helps and many thanks to Lukas for creating an awesome and simple maintenance mode plugin for WP. This functionality should be core to WP!

I am bothered because there are no updates. If the code is on GitHub, may by someone can pick it up and take over? Sadly, I am not a developer.

Lo activas y en Ajustes -> Maintenance Mode encuentras las opciones justas para configurarlo.
Es perfecto y funciona en WordPress Versión 5.2.4

It is a pitty this plugin is not maintained any more. Luckily the code is on Github. (I was notified not to put a link here, so you have to look it up yourself)
It is simply the best maintenance plugin I found so far: very easy to use and just works. No “premium” features to pay for, no unneccessary fuss, just what you need.
Thank you to the author for creating and maintaining this plugin for a while.

Has the exact amount of bells and whistles needed and nothing more and short of nothing. Before all, nothing is hidden behind a “pro”-version.

In the latest version of WordPress the plugin is useless, it’s a shame.

WP 5.1.1. Does not work. Activated but no settings pages available. Can’t even get to settings via Plugins -> Maintenance Mode -> Settings.

Most of the other maintenance mode plugins come with a bunch of extra settings and features that not everyone wants. If all you want is to put up a nice simple page showing that the site is in maintenance mode, then this is it! Not very complicated, and easy to use.
To the developer: Keep updating this plugin! ??

This plugin is the 4th maintenance plugin I tried and I didn’t stick with any of the others because they were confusing and didn’t work. This worked perfectly and without the extra pro features that all the others were pushing.

This keeps the thing simple and efficient.You can choose 503 or 200 and preview the render before saving.

Works perfectly, turn it on or off and add a message. Prime example of when less is more.

this is the best maintenance plugin so far, which is not just a crippled demo ad version for a paid one, and does everything it should.
one issue though: please change the syntax back to array() instead of [ ] because it has no effect on anything else, it just makes the plugin incompatible with a lot of servers with older php version.

It has all the features I could possibly need and it just WORKS. Thank you so much for making it available for free.

Great! As a plugin should be done: No crazy icons or menu pollution, using WordPress core function, no ads, works as advertised.

Simple, as all I always want. Customizable, but not for those who don’t code HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT.

Installed this bare-to-the-bone plugin, and got locked out the next time trying to log into the backend.
Showed a white page of maintenance mode and wouldn’t budge from it.
Will use another.

I really like this plugin and it’s on a top of the list of plugins for all my websites. Only thing I miss is a quick toggle of Mode in toolbar (when you setup the Maintenance message etc, you don’t need to go there, just click the button to toggle..)

This actually didn’t work at all. Really weird. I have a brand new WP site using the Underscores theme from Automatic. So I removed this plugin and added the WP Maintenance plugin by Designmodo. That one worked instantly. My front page template is customized – maybe this one can’t handle too much of that?

The best choice for a simple maintenance mode. No bloat, no newsletter signup, no multitude of options just to get it working, no reading the manual. Activate this and put your site in maintenance mode in 2 clicks. A red flag in the admin bar tells you it’s working. Thank you!

The maintenance page SHOULD be simple, because it is not a substitute for our website, this is an excuse for an unpleasant situation that should last as little as possible. This is why I really appreciate your clean solution.
Having said that, extra thanks for the red maintence flag on the admin bar! It is so easy to leave your site in maintenance mode when the work is done and go to sleep…

Perfect. no hassle and no hidden costs!

I’m tired of all the other plugins that have a ton of features that I’m really never going to use. This plugin makes it easy to set my site in maintenance mode and not have to worry about extra customizations, ads, or bloat.
It’s clean, lightweight and effective.
If you don’t need the excessive features, look no further than this plugin.

So many maintenance mode plugins out there … this is the one you want. One plugin file that’s easy to read and crib from? That’s the WP Way! Nice work.

Use this plugin to stage your test site on the internet instead of on your computer. This is more realistic staging, and it lets you unlock your test site briefly to run web-based performance tests and speed tests.
One feature I love is that you always have an indicator to show you are in maintenance mode. With other plug-ins, there is a risk that maintenance mode is turned off without you being aware of it.
As of right now, there is only one review that is not 5-star, and it is due to a missing feature that was added very quickly after the review. That negative review is bogus and unfair. The reviewer should have started with a question, and then should have given a 5-star review due to the quick response and added feature.
This is a clean & simple maintenance mode plugin (without slide shows, countdown clocks, etc.), so there is less stuff that can go wrong. This plugin displays a regular HTML page, so you can still make it fancy if you want to. This will be sufficient for 99% of WordPress users.
If you want a basic staging/maintenance-mode plugin that WORKS, then you can’t go wrong with this one. Highly recommended!
