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

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!

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

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

Installed but the Settings page only accepts the older, outdated Google Universal Analytics, which Google stopped over a year ago.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.

I initially hoped for more than an advertisement, but unfortunately, it has been stripped of functionality and demands a minimum of $9/month for anything but the most basic operation. While it might suffice for barebones needs, the constant full-screen ads promoting upgrades make for a less-than-pleasant experience.

La herramienta es una perdida de tiempo, haces cambios y no los guarda aunque le des mil veces a guardar cambios, no se molesten en instalarla

I had created a simple page using this add-on and even when I enabled the under construction mode, nothing happened. I had cleared cache. It would be useful to add support for Signal.org phone numbers please.

This entire plugin is an upsell.
If there are simple and free options in this plugin, it’s unintuitive. It starts with a simple design, but it’s not clear how to go about changing the design images. There’s a content tab, but no image upload to override the default Construction image. Every other design link wants you to upgrade to their pro for a minimum of $50 a year.
If you just want to add some simple images and simple text for an under construction page, this is not the plugin to do that.

Really good. Just activate, click to turn on the under construction option.
Administrator role is whitelisted by default- Good! So site owners can continue their work and view them. There are even notifications to inform that.
Remember to flush your cache if any and test with incognito mode.
There are more options but not essential I think.

It’s always nice when you pick a plugin, turn it on, follow it’s handy instructions, and have what you need in under 2 minutes.

I downloaded few under construction/maintenence themes and plugins, couldn’t find an easy way to get any of them to work. This one was easy, clicked on settings next to the plugin on the installed plugins section and was set up in seconds. Definitely recommended for beginners like myself.

A primeira vista parece um bom plugin, porém ao utilizar existem muito poucas op??es gratuitas. Os temas n?o s?o editáveis (é possível alterar apenas o texto simples) e a vers?o personalizada é somente para usuários premium, algo que outros plugins oferecem gratuitamente.

Forces you to use some silly image in your under construction page. Unusable for me.

Free version provides very basic functionality. Pro version is broken, controls are unintuitive and confusing, documentation is severely lacking. My experience so far has been below suboptimal, stay away. I’d give this zero stars if I could.

Dont know why people are marking this down?
The free version is a little limited but gets the job done very well for just an under construction or under maintenance page. The paid version is just brilliant loads of great ready made templates that you can modify to your hearts contact and really doesn’t load slow at all I dont have great internet where I live out in the middle of nowhere and its just as fast as anything else and I haven’t seen one ad on the free or paid version yet at all.
Top marks from me

This plugin (the paid version) used to work pretty well, with only occasional hiccups here and there which were pretty easy to fix.
It is now completely unusable.
And moreover, the built in “contact support” feature doesn’t work, nor is there a visible way to contact support from the Webfactory site.
Buyers beware. This is a waste of time and a ripoff.

Aside from just NOT WORKING, (don’t be confused by the temporary page it creates, check your site from other browsers and you’ll see that it does literally nothing) it’s also full of spam for paid “updates”.

It cannot be uninstalled once installed.
When I try to log in, nothing happens, and I cannot recall the password. Totally blocked page.

Used to be awesome (probably still is for PRO) but they intentionally switch the whitelisted mode (or it’s a bug) to get you to sign up for PRO.
It’s incredibly aggravating now and the irony is I was about to pay for PRO because I finally needed the features but now I can’t even trust if the thing works.
EVEN WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF SOMETIMES, it does nothing. I’ve used this plugin before with no issues and now on two sites it’s garbage.
