Don’t update to 2.5.x

  • Used this plugin all the time until the 2.5 version which adds another block plugin (Otter templates) without noticing you.

    I understand why they did it but please inform your users. For some reason this plugin adds blocks to your pages without noticing. After removing the Otter plugin I got warnings of blocks with invalid HTML on pages which I hadn’t filled with content yet.

    Plugin is really nice up to version 2.4.7 besides some ads in WP-admin.

  • Hi @nielspilon,

    I’m sorry for the inconvenience and if the 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 just there to provide the pre-design templates for our users. 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.

    Also, 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).

    Thanks for understanding and have a nice day!
