Hello – I tested the redirect/exclude as you advised above and it seems like that is working how it should! Thank you very much for your time and patience with me!

Ok, I figured it out…I knew it was dumb, but after getting some sleep, it occurred to me: in the Network Administration, Settings page, I had disabled registration. Changing that fixes the error above ??

Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly (I’m sorry it’s taken me a bit to get back to you now…)

Thank you for the clarification on the terminology…that makes sense to me now and I understand. Also, thank you for the redirection/exclusion suggestion — I will give that a try tomorrow and let you know if there are any issues with that solution.

By the way, when I switched from enabled to disabled (using one of the built in templates that I had customized), I lost some of the formatting when I went back to re-enable it. Specifically, the font color on the count down timer (just the numbers counting down, not the “hours”, “minutes”, etc.). That may be the only thing that I lost…I can’t remember now! ??

Thanks again!

Thank you very much! I truly appreciate your responsiveness!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the four options I see for the plugin are:
1) Disabled
2) Coming Soon
3) Redirect to URL
4) 503 Header Response (by the way, “response” is spelled wrong in the plugin admin panel) ??

…not sure if that helps or not to understand my ‘confusion.’

Thanks again! ??

Hi, thanks for getting back to me…I guess I thought that the flow of doing a new website would be:
1) under construction/maintenance mode
2) coming soon
3) open

I got this from the plugin description:

The Coming Soon by Supsystic plugin has three modes, “Coming Soon”, “Maintenance / Under Construction” and “Redirect”. The design and front-end of your site will not look exactly when you activate coming soon page. The Coming Soon page or Launch page will be open to search engines and users, while Maintenance / Underconstruction mode will inform search engines that your site is temporarily in under construction.

I don’t know enough about the 503 Header Response to know if this is the same thing…

Also, with the redirect option, is it possible to redirect the users to a specific page on the site (say I want to create a page specifically for use when under construction/maintenance) such as site.com/maintenance? I assume I could exclude that URL from the redirect, but then all other pages/posts on the site would be redirected to this specific page? (Hope that question makes sense!)

Thanks again for your responsiveness!

Rats…I really like this plugin (you’ve done a fantastic job!) and was hoping there was a way this would work. I did get to thinking after I posted this that this might be the case, but I was hopeful anyway ??

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly…if you happen to have any solutions on how this plugin will do that for me, please let me know!

Thanks again!

Sure thing! Thanks again!

Ok – thank you!

Ok, thanks for getting back to me…I wonder if anyone else would find this feature beneficial? If so, perhaps it could be added to the list of future abilities?

Thanks again!

Also interested in this ??

Hello – I was just looking at this too and I didn’t see an option for the maintenance mode (I just downloaded and installed the plugin)…maybe I’m missing this feature? Thanks!
