Broke my site and forces you to install another plugin

  • I used to be a user of the plugin but now it forces you to add another plugin to add a maintenance page. Also, it broke the blog on my site when I activated the plugin without activating the maintenance mode.

  • Hi @hdeprada,

    Thank you for choosing WP Maintenance Mode and for sharing your feedback with us.

    I’m sorry that recent changes don’t look helpful for your use cases.

    We have made changes in the recent version of the plugin to make the user experience better and give more flexibility in customizing the maintenance page, as you can now use Gutenberg editor or a page builder to easily customize the page and select a pre-created design or create your new custom one.

    The extra plugin (Otter) is only needed if users want to use any of the pre-designed templates that are created with the help of this plugin. In case you do not want to use the pre-design templates, you can remove the plugin and continue using WP Maintenance plugin without it.

    The last thing is that if you already had the WP Maintenance Mode plugin installed before, you can opt-out of this change after the update of the plugin and keep everything as it was before (You see the Migrate button that could be clicked to switch to the new version and you also have a Rollback button after that in case you want to switch back).

    Regarding the issue you mentioned with breaking the site, there was indeed a problem with this and we released a fix for it in the 2.5.3 version a few hours later. The most recent version causes no issues, and it works as before.

    Thanks for understanding and have a nice day!
